拉法耶特(1757-1834)早於美國獨立戰爭時，因與美國革命派並肩作戰而名噪一時。在新思想影響下，他得到人民支持而被選為三級會議的奧弗涅地區代表。作為少數支持君主立憲制和信奉自由主義的貴族，他成為議會裡的著名人物。在1789年起義中，他被任名為巴黎國民自衛軍的指揮官，更在7月17日向國王呈上3色帽章，8月時他更向眾議院宣讀主要由他撰寫的《人權和公民權利宣言》。
La Fayette (1757-1834) made history as early as the United States’ Independence War where he fought alongside the American insurgents. Influenced by new ideas he was elected as representative of the Auvergne region nobles at the Estates-General Assembly. He became one of the most famous personalities at the Assembly as member of a small group of liberal noblemen who supported constitutional monarchy. The 1789 insurrection made him commander of the Paris National Guard and he was the one to present the King with the tricolor cockade at the City Hall on 17 July. In August, he also read to the house representatives the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen which he was one of the main makers. ■資料：香港歷史博物館
