During the Seven Years' War in the county of Nice, he distinguished himself at the Battle of Hastenbeck. Promoted to Mestre de camp, and then colonel, in 1758 Fouquet commanded the Royal-Carabiniers regiment at the battle of Krefeld, when he was mortally wounded during a charge. He died in Nuys shortly after. His death was reported in the Gazette de France. His funeral oration occurred at Metz Cathedral [3] on 9 August 1758. [4] His widow married Camille, Prince of Marsan [5] in 1759.
Marriage
On 23 May 1753, he married Hélène Mancini, Mademoiselle de Nevers [6] (1740-1780) eldest daughter of Louis Jules Mancini, 10th Duke of Nevers [7] and a niece of Jean-Frédéric Phélypeaux, Count of Maurepas. They had no children.
