The name Soubise appears again in the military history of France in the person of CHARLES DE ROHAN, PRINCE DE SOUBISE (17151787), peer and marshal of France, the grandson of the princesse de Soubise, who is known to history as one of t'ie distresses of Louis XIV. He accompanied Louis XV. in the campaign of 174448 and attained high military rank, which he owed more to his courtiership than to his generalship. Soon after the beginning of the Seven Years' War, through the influence of Mme de Pompadour, he was put in command of a corps of 24,000 men, and in November 1757 he sustained the crushing defeat of Rossbach. He was more fortunate, however, in his later military career, and continued in the service until the general peace of 1763, after which he lived the life of an ordinary courtier and man of fashion in Paris, dying on the 4th of July 1787.End of Article: SOUBISE, BENJAMIN DE ROHAN If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
