American Revolutionary War where he served under
General George Washington , then later became a key figure in the
French Revolution of 1789.
Early life and family

Georges Washington Louis Gilbert du Motier , (24 December 1779 – 29 November 1849), and Marie Antoinette Virginie du Motier (17 September 1782 – 23 July 1849).

Imprisonment and planned execution
In 1795, the Marquise de LaFayette was imprisoned and facing execution.
Elizabeth Monroe , a future
First Lady of the United States and wife to
James Monroe , the United States envoy to France, intervened in an attempt to save her. The day prior to La Fayette's scheduled execution, Mrs. Monroe visited the imprisoned marquise and loudly announced that she would be returning the following day. Not wanting to endanger ties with the United States, France abruptly reversed its verdict and did not execute her.
