Joseph Alexandre Pierre, vicomte de Ségur (1756 – 1805) was a French poet, songwriter, and playwright.[1]
Life
Ségur was born in Paris as the son of Philippe Henri de Ségur, Marquis of Ségur and Louise Anne Madeleine de Vernon. In reality, he was the son of the best friend of his father, Pierre Victor, baron de Besenval de Brünstatt, who acquired certain notoriety under the French Revolution. He was Colonel of the Regiments of Noailles and Lorraine, and of the Dragoons of Ségur during the Ancien Régime.
Ségur spent much of his life composing poems, songs and comedies. In a way of perpetuating the tradition instituted by the circumstances of his birth, he had himself many adulterine children, to whom he gave his name and whose education he financed.
He made build to host his mistress Louise Julie Careau a house at the rue Chantereine, by the architect Perrard de Montreuil, a house that later hosted the loves of Joséphine and Bonaparte and became known as "Maison du 18 Brumaire". He had two sons from her, Alexandre-Philippe de Ségur (1781 - 10 February 1803), unmarried and without issue, and Alexandre, Vicomte de Ségur (1793 - 28 April 1864), who married Caroline Mathieu de Mauvières (- Paris, 1855), and had one daughter, Marie-Renée Claude de Ségur (12 February 1824 - 1 November 1903), who married Auguste de Gramont, Duc de Lesparre (1 July 1820 - 4 September 1877), and had three daughters.
In 1789, Ségur was elected a Deputy for the Nobility of Paris for the Estates-General. He remained loyal to the King and the monarchy but participated very little in the debates. In 1790, he retired from political life and occupied himself of literature, publishing dramas and comedies.
In 1793, Ségur was imprisoned during The Terror period of the French Revolution in the prisons of Saint-Lazare, as were André Chénier and other artists of the time. Charles de La Buissière, a well-known actor, managed to get himself employed at the Bureau of the Committee for Public Health. La Buissière destroyed the accusation file of Ségur along with the ones of countless personalities of the Parisian scene who owed him their lives.
From 1796 to the end of 1801, Ségur participated in the activities of the singing society of the Diners du Vaudeville, where he figured as "Ségur Jeune" (Young Segur), along with his brother Louis-Philippe de Ségur, who figured there as "Ségur ainé", or Ségur elder.
Ségur passed away at the age of 48 years in the company of Mademoiselle d'Avaux, his mistress of twelve years, while he was recovering from a chest illness at Bagnères-de-Bigorre. His last posthumous publication, the memories of the baron de Besenval, his assumed father, provoked a scandal in the society of the time.[2][3]
