This article presents information on Emmanuel-Louis-Henri de Launey, a secret agent during the French revolution. He was born of a good family in the province of Vivarais, France on December 25, 1753. He served, as all gentlemen did, in the army, but only for a short time. During the reign of King Louis XVI, he spent his life in journeys, visiting writer François Marie Arouet de Voltaire at Ferney. In Gallery of the States-General which gave portraits of all the members, he is described under the name of Antenor. Launey stood firmly for the royal right of veto.
