Henri de Massue (9 April 1648 – 3 September 1711) was a general of Great Britain of French extraction.
Biography[]
Born in Paris to a Huguenot Protestant family, Massue fought in the Wars of Louis XIV until the 1690 revocation of the pro-Protestant Edict of Nantes. With his rights taken away, he immigrated to Great Britain and defeated the French in 1691 at the Battle of Aughrim. In 1692 he was made Viscout Galway, and although he gained fame as a good general, he retired after two defeats in the War of the Spanish Succession.
