Louis-Auguste Philippe de Béthune

Philippe, Duc de Sully (Louis-Auguste Philippe de Béthune; 13th July 1708 - 16th February 1747) was a French nobleman and courtier during the reign of Charles XII & VII. As the head of the Béthune family, Philippe succeeded his father at the tender age of thirteen, with his uncle acting as regent for two years until his majority at the age of fifteen. Philippe was a rather average courtier, though he was an avid hunter and served as the Grand Maître de la Chasse to Charles XII & VII.
