from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maximilien Henri de Saint-Simon (born November 15, 1720 , † 1799 in Utrecht ) was a French officer, historian and writer.

date of death

On the basis of documents in the archives of the University of Göttingen (Göttingen, Universitätsarchiv, Ger E LIX 1 and 2) Frank William Peter Dougherty declared that Saint-Simon died on August 20, 1795 in Göttingen. Saint-Simon's wife also died in Göttingen on August 15, 1798. Dougherty suspects that the year "1799" found in the literature for Saint-Simon's death year is based on a confusion with the year in which Saint-Simons estate in Utrecht was sold.

Dougherty explains that Saint-Simon left Utrecht when the French occupied Brabant in 1794. He went into exile in Hanover and from there to Göttingen in May 1795.
