Name

the real name of Desaix is : Louis Charles Antoine Desaix not Louis Charles Antoine Desaix de Veygoux !

(You can see his birth certificate at the french page : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desaix)

…As it also says on that page, "Selon l'usage de l'époque, afin de se distinguer de son frère, il prit pour nom Louis Charles Antoine Desaix de Veygoux…": "According to the usage of the time, in order to be distinguished from his brother, he took the name name Louis Charles Antoine Desaix de Veygoux…" - Jmabel | Talk 05:30, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect hyperlink?

In the first paragraph of the "Biography" section, the article links erroneously to a page about Victor, 3rd duc de Broglie. This link should direct to the page about Charles-Louis-Victor, prince de Broglie.

The name of Desaix

The name of Desaix is not Louis Desaix but Louis Charles Antoine Desaix. (As you can see on his baptismal certificate http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Extrait_acte_bapteme_desaix.jpg) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nolege (talk • contribs) 17:14, 22 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
