Cesar Phebus d'Albret, Comte de Miassens: A French Military Commander of the 17th Century This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Cesar Phebus d'Albret, Comte de Miassens (1614-1676), a prominent French military commander during the turbulent 17th century. Born into the noble Albret family, Phebus d'Albret rose to prominence through his military prowess and strategic acumen. The image, dated around 1650, depicts Phebus d'Albret in the prime of his life. He is shown in full military regalia, wearing a grand coat adorned with gold braid and a plumed hat, signifying his high rank. His stern expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and resolve. Phebus d'Albret's military career began in earnest during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), where he served under the command of Cardinal Richelieu. He distinguished himself in several battles, most notably at the siege of La Rochelle in 1628, where he played a crucial role in the French victory. Later in his career, Phebus d'Albret served as the governor of several French provinces, including Lorraine and Alsace. He also played a key role in the Franco-Spanish War (1635-1659), where he commanded the French forces in the Battle of Rethel in 1643. Despite his military successes, Phebus d'Albret's life was not without controversy. He was known for his hot-headed temper and was involved in several duels, including one with the Duke of Bouillon. However, his military abilities and leadership were never in question, and he remained a respected figure in French military circles until his death in 1676. This portrait is a testament to the complex and fascinating history of the French military during the 17th century, a time of political upheaval and military conflict. Cesar Phebus d'Albret, Comte de Miassens, stands out as a remarkable figure, a man of action and determination who left an indelible mark on French military history.
