Flahaut de la Billarderie, Auguste Charles Joseph, Comte de 1785-1870

Believed to be the illegitimate son of Talleyrand, he fought under Napoleon I.

In exile after Waterloo, he married the Baroness Keith and Nairne (1788-1867). After 1830 he returned to France, was ambassador at Vienna (1842-48) and London (1860-62), and was Grand Chancellor of the Legion of Honour.
