Gilbert du Motier became the Marquis de Lafayette at a young age, but he was not satisfied with the comforts of French nobility—A major general by nineteen, he was eager to prove himself in battle. When he heard about the revolution going on in America, he went overseas. Passionate about the American cause—and endearing—Lafayette would be accepted into the Continental Army because of his willingness to learn (and because his wealth meant that he didn’t require a salary). General Washington took him under his wing, and Lafayette’s loyalty to the commander-in-chief even saved Washington from a plot to remove him from command.
