Biography
A descendant of Jehan Falaiseau, mayor of Tours, Étienne de Falaiseau was born in Paris, the son of Étienne de Falaiseau, lord of La Renaudière, musketeer in the first company of the king, and of Anne Marthe Nicou de La Chovinière. He married Adélaïde Desnos de Kerjean (1760–1812).
Having emigrated to Hamburg at the time of the Revolution, he served briefly in the Army of Condé. Falaiseau returned to France in 1799. After the coup of 18 Brumaire, he succeeded in getting his name scratched off the emigrants' list and was appointed by Bonaparte principal collector of the united imposts[1] and president of the electoral college of Fontainebleau. He was deputy of Seine-et-Marne from 1811 to 1815.[2] He supported the return of the Bourbons.[3]
