Magalotti

Magalotti (May 22, 1645) is a French army general, perhaps a nephew of Mazarin. In 1644 he received the command of the army of the King for the siege of La Mothe-en-Bassigny, then belonging to Lorraine. During this siege he paid a visit to the trenches surrounding the city on 20 May 1645. It was then that he was wounded at the head of a musket stroke and died two days later. The corps of General Magalotti was conducted to Chaumont. It was exhibited at St. John's Church with all the honors of a provincial governor. It was in this church that he was buried in a vault near the sepulcher. At the end of the XIX century, General Magalotti gave his name to a fort of the belt of defense of the city of Langres.
