Paul Barillon d'Amoncourt, the marquis de Branges (1630–1691), was the French ambassador to England from 1677 to 1688. His dispatches from England to Louis XIV have been very useful to historians of the period, though they may be colored by a personal bias. With the rise to the throne of England by William of Orange, Louis XIV's most implacable enemy, Barillon was sent home and war soon broke out between the two kingdoms. Barillon's immediate predecessor was Rouvigny; his successor after the war was Camille de Tallard.
