CATINAT, NICOLAS (1637-1712) ,
marshal
  of France, entered the Gardes Francaises at an early age and distinguished himself at the siege of
Lille
  in 1667. He became a brigadier ten years later, marechal de camp in 1680, and
lieutenant
 -general 1688. He served with
great
  credit in the campaigns of 1676-1678 in
Flanders
 , was employed against the Vaudois in 1686, and after taking
part
  in the siege of Philipsburg at the opening of the War of the League of Augsburg, he was appointed to command the French troops in the
south
 -eastern theatre of war. In 1690 he conquered Savoy, and in 1691 Nice; the battle of Staffarda, won by him over the duke of Savoy in 1690, and tliat of Marsaglia in 1693, were amongst the greatest victories of the time. In 1696 Catinat forced the duke to make an alliance with France. He had in 1693 been made a
marshal
  of France. At the be-ginning of the war of the Spanish Succession, Catinat was placed in charge of operations in Italy, but he was much hampered by the orders of the French
court
  and the weakness of the forces for their task. He suffered a
reverse
  at Carpi (1701) and was soon afterwards superseded by Villeroy, to whom he acted as secondin-command during the campaign of Chiari. He died at St Gratien in 1712. His memoirs were published in 1819.
See E. de Broglie, Catinat, 7637-1712 (Paris, 1902).
