Antoine Hamilton (c.1645 - 1719)

Anthony Hamilton, also known as Antoine and comte d'Hamilton, was a soldier and writer. His family moved to France following Cromwell's invasion of Ireland. He fought in French service in the Franco-Dutch War (1672–1678) and for the Irish Army in the Williamite War (1689–1691). Hamilton became a writer after the end of his military career while living at the Jacobite exile court, having written in French.
