	Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet, comte de Belle-Isle, and later Duc de (1684-1761), French soldier and statesman, was the grandson of Nicholas Fouquet, superintendent of finances under Louis XIII, and was born at Villefranche-de-Rouergue.
		He remained a year in England, in spite of the demands of Louis XV and of the emperor Charles VII.
		He was employed under his brother in political missions in Bavaria and in Swabia in 1741-1742, became a lieutenant-general, fought in Bohemia, Bavaria and the Rhine countries in 1742-1743, and was arrested and sent to England with the marshal in 1744.

		Louis excluded the higher nobility from the conseil, leading the aristocratic diarist Louis de Rouvroy, Duc de Saint-Simon to refer to the reign as the "reign of the lowborn bourgeoisie." The French treasury stood close to bankruptcy when Louis XIV assumed power in 1661.
		Louis was in the process of reinforcing the traditional Gallicanism, a doctrine limiting the authority of the Pope in France.
		Thus Louis XIV's five-year-old great-grandson, the Son of the duc de Bourgogne, succeeded to the throne and reigned as Louis XV.

		The military usage was probably derived from the metal plate (epauletre) which protected the shoulder in the defensive armour of the 16th century.
		It was first used merely as a shoulder knot to fasten the baldric, and the application of it to mark distinctive grades of rank was begun in France at the suggestion, it is said, of Charles Louis Auguste Fouquet, duc de Belle-Isle, in 1759.
		In modern times it always appears as a shoulder ornament for military and naval uniforms.
