释义 |
The family of Lally (also O'Lally or O'Mullally) were an Irish family originally from Tuam, County Galway, who distinguished themselves in the service of the Jacobite pretenders and in the French army. {{TOC right}}TitlesGerard Lally was appointed a Baronet in the Baronetage of Ireland by the titular King James III and VIII (the "Old Pretender") on 7 July 1707. He was succeeded by his son, Thomas Arthur, who took part in the Jacobite rising of 1745. Upon his return to France in 1746, he was appointed Earl of Moenmoyne, Viscount Ballymole and Baron Tollendally, in the Peerage of Ireland, by the Stuart claimant. These titles were never recognised by the government in Great Britain (see Jacobite peerage). In about 1755, he was also named Comte de Lally and Baron de Tollendal by King Louis XV of France, although this may have been merely a recognition of his Jacobite title. ExecutionLally was executed in 1766, but formally pardoned posthumously in 1778. A legend about his execution circulated in the following years, resurrected by A.C.H. Smith in his 2000 novel The Dangerous Memoir of Citizen Sade. Herein, the author had the Marquis de Sade remembering that before the introduction of the guillotine we were burned, or impaled, or broken, when it was our right as noblemen to demand the axe, until they botched Lally-Tollendal and he danced around for half a minute trying to hold his head on. HeirHis only son, Trophime Gérard, was an émigré during the French Revolution, but after the Bourbon Restoration was named (March 21, 1815) Marquis de Lally-Tollendal and a Peer of France. He died on March 11, 1830, whereupon all titles passed to his daughter's estate. Baronets (1707)
