The Life and Legacy of Marquis de Lafayette: A Champion of Freedom

Marquis de Lafayette (1757-1834) was a French general and political leader who fervently supported the American Revolution. Orphaned at a young age, he joined the royal army at fourteen. A staunch Patriot, he fought for the freedom and independence of the American colonists. Despite being wounded at the Battle of Brandywine, Lafayette returned to France as a hero and was promoted to field marshal. His marriage to Marie Adrienne Françoise de Noailles at sixteen and his enduring belief in liberty make Lafayette a fascinating historical figure.
