Philippe de Dangeau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philippe de Courcillon, Marquis de Dangeau (September 21, 1638 - September 9, 1720) was a French officer and author.

Born in Chartres, he is most remembered for keeping a diary from 1684 till the year of his death. These Memoirs, which, as Saint-Simon said "of an insipidity to make you sick", contain many facts about the reign of Louis XIV.
