Marquess Frédéric Henri de La Forest de Suzannet, born in France, on July 8, 1646, died in Warsaw, Poland, March 1701. He was a French Huguenot in Lunenburg, Danish, and Saxon service. Religious persecution forced Marquess de La Forest to leave his homeland, entering into Lunenburg service as captain of horse. In 1683, with permission of King Louis XIV, he moved to Denmark with his son, Jacques-Frédéric de la Forest-Suzannet and his half-brother Philippe-Frédéric de la Forest-Suzannet. Being commissioned a colonel in 1683, he was given a patent to raise a regiment of horse, which however did not come beyond the first start.
