Britannica: Maurice, count de Saxe (count of) , (born Oct. 28, 1696, Goslar, Saxony [Germany] -died Nov. 30, 1750, Chambord, Fr.), general and military theorist who successfully led French armies during the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–48).. The illegitimate son of the elector Frederick Augustus I of Saxony (later also King Augustus II of Poland), young Maurice was sent by his father to serve under Prince Eugene of Savoy against the French in Flanders in 1709–10. In 1711 he was made Graf von Sachsen (count of Saxony; in French, comte de Saxe). His father bought him a German regiment in the French service in 1719, and Saxe quickly won recognition for his innovations in military training, especially in musketry... J.M. White: Marshal Saxe is one of the forgotten figures of the first half of the eighteenth century; yet not only is he one of its most vivid personalities but one of its outstanding generals. He takes his place among the great mercenary soldiers of a military age: Schomburg, Schulenburg and Prince Eugene in the west, Keith and Lacy in the east; and there is leason to rate him even more highly than any of these and compare his achievements with those of Marlborough. At the close of his career Louis XV revived for him the splendid title of Marshal-General of the King’s Camps and Armies, a title that had been borne previously only by the legendary Turenne..Expertise by Jean-Paul VEYSSIÈRE, Manoir de Bellay 37370 MARRAY. .
