, See also:Baron de Tollendal (1702-1766), See also:French See also:general, was See also:born at See also:Romans, See also:Dauphine, in See also:January 1702, being the son of See also:Sir See also:Gerard O'See also:Lally, an Irish Jacobite who married a French See also:lady of See also:noble See also:family, from whom the son inherited his titles
.
Entering the French See also:army in 1721 he served in the See also:war of 1734 against See also:Austria; he was See also:present at See also:Dettingen (1743), and commanded the See also:regiment de Lally in the famous Irish See also:brigade at See also:Fontenoy (May 1745)
.
He was made a brigadier on the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)

He had previously been mixed up in several Jacobite plots, and in 1745 accompanied See also:Charles See also:Edward to See also:Scotland, serving as aide-de-See also:camp at the See also:battle of See also:Falkirk (January 1746)
.
Escaping to See also:France, he served with See also:Marshal See also:Saxe in the See also:Low Countries, and at the See also:capture of Maestricht (1748) was made a marechal de camp
.
When war See also:broke out with See also:England in 1756 Lally was given the command of a French expedition to See also:India
.
He reached See also:Pondicherry in See also:April 1758, and at the outset met with some trifling military success
.
He was a See also:man of courage and a capable general; but his See also:pride and ferocity made him disliked by his See also:officers and hated by his soldiers, while he regarded the natives as slaves, despised their assistance, arid trampled on their traditions of See also:caste
.
In consequence everything went wrong with him
.
He was unsuccessful in an attack on See also:Tanjore, and had to retire from the See also:siege of See also:Madras (1758) owing to the timely arrival of the See also:British See also:fleet
.
He was defeated by Sir See also:Eyre See also:Conte at See also:Wandiwash (176o), and besieged in Pondicherry and forced to capitulate (1761)
.
He was sent as a prisoner of war to England
.
While in See also:London, he heard that he was accused in France of treachery, and insisted, against See also:advice, on returning on See also:parole to stand his trial
.
He was kept prisoner for nearly two years before the trial began; then, after many painful delays, he was sentenced to See also:death (May 6, 1766), and three days later beheaded
.
Louis XV. tried to throw the responsibility for what was undoubtedly a judicial See also:murder on his ministers and the public, but his policy needed a scapegoat, and he was probably well content not to exercise his authority to See also:save an almost friendless foreigner

LALLY-TOLLENDAL, TROPHIME GERARD, MARQUIS DE (1751-1830), was born at See also:Paris on the 5th of See also:March 1751
.
He was the legitimized son of the See also:comte de Lally and only discovered
the See also:secret of his See also:birth on the See also:day of his See also:father's See also:execution, when he resolved to devote himself to clearing his father's memory
.
He was supported by Voltaire, and in 1778 succeeded in persuading Louis XVI. to annul the See also:decree which had sentenced the comte de Lally., but the See also:parlement of See also:Rouen, to which the See also:case was referred back, in 1784 again decided in favour of Lally's See also:guilt
.
The case was retried by other courts, but Lally's innocence was never fully admitted by the French See also:judges
.
In 1779 Lally-Tollendal bought the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of See also:Grand bailli of See also:Etampes, and in 1789 was a See also:deputy to the states-general for the noblesse of Paris
.
He played some See also:part in the See also:early stages of the Revolution, but was too conservative to be in sympathy with all even of its earlier developments
.
He threw himself into opposition to the " tyranny " of See also:Mirabeau, and condemned the epidemic of renunciation which in the session of the 4th of See also:August 1789 destroyed the traditional institutions of France
.
Later in the See also:year he emigrated to England
.
During the trial of Louis XVI. by the See also:National See also:Convention (1993) he offered to defend the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

He did not return till the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

Louis XVIII. created him a peer of France, and in 1816 he became a member of the French See also:Academy
.
From that time until his death, on the 11th of March 183o, he devoted himself to philanthropic See also:work, especially identifying himself with See also:prison reform
