Early life[edit]

La Fare, born on 15 February 1687, was the eldest son of Charles Auguste de la Fare, captain of the King's guards of Philippe of France (1640–1701), and Louise Jeanne de Lux (1667–1691). He was the brother of Étienne Joseph de La Fare, Bishop of Laon, and the cousin of cardinals Anne Louis Henri de La Fare and François-Joachim de Pierre de Bernis.

Military career[edit]

Musketeer (1701–1702)[edit]

In 1701, the war of the Spanish succession began. The war opposed from 1701 to 1714, Louis XIV's France, allied to Bavaria and the electorate of Cologne, to the rest of Europe : Great Britain, Holland, Austria, Prussia, Hanover, Portugal and Savoie.

Philippe Charles was 14 years of age, and on 26 March 1693 became a musketeer of the King by Philippe of France, Duke of Orléans (only brother of King Louis XIV) and Elisabeth Charlotte of the Palatinate, Princess Palatine, Duchess of Orléans.

Régiment du Roi (1703)[edit]

He was named sous-lieutenant to the Régiment du Roi,[3] and was involved in the taking of Breisach by the Duke of Bourgogne, on 6 September 1703. As lieutenant, he is present at the Battle of Speyerbach won by Marshal Tallard, and participated in the taking of Landau.

He passed the beginning of 1704 in Italy, and acceded to the command of the régiment d'Auvergne in April 1704, after the dismissal of the Vicomte of Poudenx.
