Jacques de Saulx , comte de Tavannes (* 1620 ; † December 22, 1683 ), was a high-ranking French officer of the 17th century.
Life
Jacques de Saulx was the son of Claude, comte de Buzançais (in the Indre department ), called "comte de Tavannes" († 1638 in Bayonne ). His parents were Guillaume de Saulx and Françoise Brulart, daughter of Nicolas, baron de La Borde, and Marie Bourgeois, dame de Crépy et Origny.
After the death of his father, he received the Bailli of Dijon on October 2, 1638 , in accordance with the agreements of Saint-Germain-en-Laye .
Jacques de Saulx stood at the side of Louis II. De Bourbon, prince de Condé , during his campaigns (as in the battle of Étampes ). On March 22, 1548 he was promoted to maréchal de camp and on June 29, 1651 appointed lieutenant-général des armées du roi .
On July 22, 1644, he married Louise-Henriette Pottier, widow of Emmanuel d'Averton.
When he was to share his powers of command with Henri Charles de La Trémoille in 1653 , he took his leave of Condé dissatisfied and retired to his lands near Langres .
He wrote down his memoirs, which were published in Paris in 1691, eight years after his death, under the title “Mémoires sur la Fronde, de 1650 à 1653”.
