Pierre de La Gorce

Pierre de La Gorce ( born June 29, 1846 in Vannes, † January 2, 1934 ) was a French historian.

Life

La Gorces father was a soldier of the Restoration and the July Monarchy. Since the mother had died early, La Groce grew up with an aunt in Maubeuge. He studied at a College in Douai, then oriented itself but on the advice of his father and began to study law, which he completed in 1870. He was first deputy judge, then substitute judge and worked in Rocroi, Montreuil, Béthune and Saint- Omer. In 1880 he resigned because he did not want to participate in the implementation of the decrees of the government of Jules Ferry as a staunch Catholic, which provided for a suppression of the influence of religious communities on education and society. He devoted himself entirely to the history of France and wrote numerous important works.

Pierre de la Gorce was elected in 1907 to the Académie des sciences morales et politiques and 1914, the Académie française.
