Philibert, Count de Gramont (1621 – 31 January 1707), was a French nobleman, known as the protagonist of the Mémoires written by Antoine Hamilton (his brother-in-law). He was a younger halfbrother of Antoine III of Gramont and uncle of Catherine Charlotte de Gramont, princess of Monaco
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Antoine (or Anthony) Hamilton (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 a light and elegant style seeking to amuse and entertain his reader. He is mainly known for the Mémoires du comte de Grammont, which tell about the time his brother-in-law, Philibert, comte de Gramont, spent at the court of Charles II at Whitehall.
