Louis-Camus Destouches

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Louis-Camus Destouches was born in 1668, and died at Paris on 11 March 1726.

He was a chevalier of the ordre de Saint-Lazare from 1690, and became a chevalier of the ordre de Saint-Louis in 1720, then commandeur in 1725. He saw a brilliant career in the artillery, gaining him the nickname 'Canon'.

Jean le Rond d'Alembert, philosophe and contributor to the the Encyclopédie, was born from an affair with Claudine Guérin de Tencin in 1716. Destouches secretly funded his illegitimate son's education, and left him an annuity of 1200 livres upon his death in 1726.
