Descended from a Scottish family that had taken refuge in India, Lauriston's upbringing and manners had guaranteed him a place at the Ecole Militaire. While there, he met a fellow student, Bonaparte, and was on friendly terms with him.
Lauriston was with the French fleet in 1805, but returned to Paris before the Battle of Trafalgar.
At Wagram, he commanded the Guard Artillery, and led more than 100 guns in a devastating artillery barrage against the enemy.
Captured in the disastrous confusion of the retreat from Leipzig, Lauriston was held prisoner until Napoleon's abdication. During the Hundred Days, he did not rejoin Napoleon. Lauriston voted for the death for Marshal Ney.
