About Lacuzon
Lived 1607 – 1681 (aged 74). Lacuzon was a military officer.
Lacuzon (, "disturbance") or Claude Prost (June 17, 1607 – December 21, 1681) was a military leader from the County of Burgundy.
He was born at Longchaumois in what was then the County of Burgundy.
He gained his first military experience when the French invaded the County of Burgundy in 1636, harrying the French troops from the castles of Montaigu and Saint-Laurent-la-Roche, and devastating the frontier districts of Bresse and Bugey with fire and sword (1640–1642). In the first invasion of the County of Burgundy by Louis XIV in 1668 Lacuzon was unable to make any effective resistance, but he played an important part in Louis' second invasion.
In 1673 he defended Salins for some time; after the capitulation of the town he took refuge in the Duchy of Milan. He died at Milan on December 21, 1681.
