Auguste-Armand de la Force

Auguste Armand Ghislain Marie Joseph Nompar de Caumont de La Force (18 August 1878, Dieppe - 3 October 1961, Saint-Aubin-de-Locquenay), 12th Duke of La Force, was a French duke and historian. Specialising in the 17th century (he was himself a descendent of the 1000-year-old Caumont de la Force family), his work allowed him to reconstruct events in which his ancestors had taken part. He was elected a member of the Académie française on 19 November 1925.
