The author: Antoine (or Anthony) Hamilton, Comte (c. 1645 – 1719) was a soldier and a writer of literature. As a Catholic of Irish and Scottish ancestry, he fled with his family to France during the Interregnum and later sided with James II against the Prince of Orange, which led him into another French exile. As a soldier, he fought in French service in the Franco-Dutch War (1672–1678) and then in the Irish Army in the Williamite War (1688–1690) where he fought on the losing side in the battles of Newtownbutler and the Boyne. As a writer, he chose French as his language and adopted light and elegant style seeking to amuse and entertain his reader. He is mainly known for the Mémoires du Comte de Grammont, which tells about the time his brother-in-law, Philibert, Comte de Gramont, spent at the court of Charles II at Whitehall.
