Let's not forget Prince Camille de Polignac, the Confederate general.

Lt. Col. Aristide Gerard was commanding officer at Fort DeRussy from mid-March to late April, 1863. He was court-martialed for destroying government property when the fort was abandoned, but was acquitted of the charges. He was popular with the local population, most of whom were of French descent. Or at any rate, he was popular with the editor of the local newspaper - “A more able, energetic and gallant officer cannot be found in the Confederacy. . . in the full vigor of manhood . . . his martial air betrays the French trained soldier.” (Marksville, La. "Pelican", March 21, 1863) Gerard reciprocated by lending the short-handed editor two former pressmen from the garrison.
