- Alain-Emmanuel de Coëtlogon (4 December 1646 – 6 June 1730) was a Marshal of France during the reign of Louis XIV and Louis XV. He was born at Rennes, the seventh son of Louis de Coëtlogon, vicomte de Méjusseaume (d.1657), counsellor to the King in the Parlement of Brittany, and Louise Le Meneust de Bréquigny. He enjoyed an excellent education in Rennes, and joined a military academy, where he graduated in 1668. He served the major part of his career under the comte de Tourville. In June 1672 he fought in the Battle of Solebay on Tourville's ship under vice-admiral d'Estrées. He also distinguished himself in the battles of Schooneveld in June 1673, and Texel in August. On 26 January 1675, at just 29 years old, he was made captain of his own ship. He fought with Tourville around Sicily and was wounded while in command of the Éclatant at the Battle of Agosta where De Ruyter was mortally wounded. In 1680, Coëtlogon studied theology and considered entering the church. Although he returned to the sea, he was profoundly changed by this spiritual experience, and led an austere, celibate life. In 1683, he commanded various ships, first around Denmark, then in North Africa. In 1688 he took part in the bombardment of Algiers under Jean II d'Estrées. During the Nine Years' War, he was in command of the 54-gun Diamant as part of Châteaurenault's fleet which landed French troops in Ireland, and fought in the Battle of Bantry Bay on 11 May 1689; on 1 November he was promoted to squadron leader. During the Battle of Beachy Head in July 1690, he commanded a division of the van under Tourville, destroying several Dutch ships. He also participated in the Battle of La Hogue (1692), and the Battle of Lagos (1693) where, with eight ships, he hunted down and captured five Dutch ships under the guns of the Gibraltar forts. In November 1693, he participated in the defence of Saint-Malo against the English. On 1 February 1694, he was appointed Knight of the Order of Saint Louis. In May 1701, Coëtlogon was promoted to lieutenant-général (vice admiral), and given the title of marquis, which he would never use. The following year, during the War of the Spanish Succession, he was sent to the Americas with five ships in service of Spain to protect the Spanish colonies, remaining at length in Veracruz. However, Coëtlogon was most famous for winning the Battle of Cap de la Roque off Lisbon on 22 May 1703. On board the Vainqueur, Coëtlogon, commanding a squadron with four other ships - the Monarque, Éole, Orgueilleux and Couronne - intercepted a Dutch convoy and defeated its five escorting Dutch warships - the Muiderberg (which was sunk), Rozendaal, Rotterdam, Beschermer, and Gaasterland. The last-named four Dutch ships were all captured and added into the French Mediterranean fleet. But the victory was not complete, as the merchantmen in the Dutch convoy escaped. His last battle was the Battle of Vélez-Málaga on 24 August 1704, commanding the 90-gun Tonnant. He then became Naval Commander in Brest and received many decorations. The last four years of his life he lived in a Jesuit order. On 1 June 1730 he was finally made Marshal of France, six days before his death in Paris. Several ships were named after Coëtlogon, especially a frigate which was active during the Boshin war (1868–1869) in Japan, and later an armoured cruiser. (en)
- Alain Emmanuel de Coëtlogon de Méjusseaume, né le 4 décembre 1646 à Rennes et mort le 6 juin 1730 à Paris, est un officier de marine et noble français des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Issu d'une ancienne famille de la noblesse bretonne, Alain-Emmanuel de Coëtlogon s'engage jeune au service du Roi, d'abord dans l'armée de terre, puis dans la Marine royale. Sous les ordres du maréchal de Tourville, il participe aux guerres menées par Louis XIV contre ses voisins européens. Il s'illustre pour la première fois pendant la guerre de Hollande au combat de Solebay puis pendant la campagne de Sicile (1675-1678). Après avoir envisagé un temps de se faire prêtre, il mène plusieurs campagnes en mer Baltique et contre les corsaires barbaresques en Méditerranée. La guerre de Succession d'Espagne (1701-1714) lui donne à nouveau l'occasion de s'illustrer au Cap de la Roque puis à Vélez-Málaga. Commandant la Marine au Port de Brest de 1705 à 1714, il est — une fois la paix revenue — comblé d'honneurs. Élevé à la dignité de vice-amiral du Levant à la mort du marquis de Châteaurenault, il est fait la même année Grand'croix de l'ordre royal et militaire de Saint-Louis. Membre du Conseil de marine, du Conseil d'État, il est fait chevalier des Ordres du Roi en 1724, avant de se retirer chez les jésuites. Il est nommé maréchal de France, six jours avant sa mort, le 6 juin 1730. (fr)
