Antoine-Philippe François Marie , vicomte d'HARDOUINEAU (1788-1865) was appointed Garde du Corps du Roi on January 3, 1800, as his father had been 23 years earlier. Made a Chevalier de l'Ordre de Légion d'Honneur on November 26, 1814, he was reported in action at Ghent in 1815. In the Mémoires secrets et inédits d'Alphonse de Beauchamp (1767-1832), he wrote about "l'exil et les infortunes des princes de la Maison Royale" (Paris, Vernarel et Tenon, 1825), introducing himself as "aide-de-camp to Louis XVIII". "At the dismissal of Louis XVIII's Maison Rouge, company officers received, as a rallying sign, a gold ring whose bezel bore the company's distinctive insignia." Type rings on both swords: The soldiers of the royal army who followed him to Belgium received a patent signed by the Duke of Berry, confirming that they had been part of this army. The officers resolved to have a ring made bearing two swords in the form of a cross, with this motto: "ma vie au roi, mon cœur aux dames" ("my life to the king, my heart to the ladies"). "This ring, which has just been made, also contains the initials of the royal family: L, MT, P, A, F, C. (Louis XVIII, Marie-Thérèse duchesse d'Angoulême, Louis-Philippe duc d'Orléans, Antoine duc d'Angoulême, Ferdinand duc de Berry, Charles, comte d'Artois). Also engraved is the name of the person for whom it was made, along with the day and place where he crossed the border." Among the few known examples, the full motto is still "à dieu mon âme ma vie au roi, mon cœur aux dames, l'honneur à moi." Monsieur Brechemin, jeweler at Palais-Royal, galerie des Bons-Enfants, no. 128, is in charge of making them, and keeps a register to prevent any mistakes. These rings are only made or given on the basis of the patent. One ring belonged to Jacques Brasseur, artillery train driver in the King's Bodyguard companies. The bezel bears the date Ghent, March 17, 1815, and the inside is engraved "Brasseur Jacques conducteur d'artillerie de la Garde royal (sic)" with an escutcheon bearing the initials L, M.T, P, A, F, C. Another example is dated March 25, 1815, and features a small oval hinged box serving as a reliquary; it bears the inscription "Mis de Monpezat, Major officier d'État-major du Mre de la Gre", and at the height of the bezel, in a heart-shaped escutcheon, the capital letters L. MT. P. A. F. Another example, dated March 1815, belonged to Gérard de Contamine d'Arimont, Garde-du-corps du Roi. On a ring of the same model from the de Valles (or d'Hozier) family, the bezel also forms a small reliquary box, and is dated "Ypres 25 mars 1815". An example from the former Thierry Marais collection, attributed to one of the King's bodyguards. Three
