Segur

Segur, LOUIS PHILIPPE, COUNT DE (1753-1830), French diplomatist and author, acted as ambassador in Berlin and Petersburg, and became an Academician. He was the son of a notable Marshal of France, the MARQUIS DE SEGUR (1724-1801), who was Minister of War in 1780. Count de Segur wrote some important historical works, but his Memoirs (1826) are perhaps more widely read. He is an authority on the Russian campaign.
