Charles-François de Broglie

Charles-François de Broglie was an Earl of France that became the master spy organizer of King Louis XV. Under the King's direction and ideas, he organized the first complete and structured secret service, Le Secret du Roy. His network covered most of Europe and, if its first mission in the Polish succession question failed, his major achievement was the role played during the American War of Independence, in providing the first and precious help to the Insurgents (military supplies, finance, diplomatic support to Franklin's mission in Paris, etc.)
