Abraham de Fabert (1599-1662) was a distinguished French military leader and the first non-nobleman to be appointed Marshal of France, a testament to his exceptional skills and contributions to the French military. Born in Metz, Fabert was the son of a printer and bookseller, which afforded him a modest but intellectually stimulating upbringing. His early career began in the military, where he quickly demonstrated his strategic acumen and leadership abilities.

Fabert's rise through the ranks was marked by his participation in numerous significant military campaigns during the Thirty Years' War. His tactical prowess and bravery on the battlefield earned him the respect of his peers and superiors alike. One of his most notable achievements was his role in the Siege of La Rochelle (1627-1628), where his engineering skills and innovative siege techniques played a crucial part in the eventual French victory.

In 1651, Fabert was appointed governor of Sedan, a strategic fortress town. His tenure as governor was characterized by his efforts to strengthen the town's defenses and improve the welfare of its inhabitants. His leadership during this period further solidified his reputation as a capable and compassionate leader.

Fabert's career reached its zenith in 1658 when King Louis XIV appointed him Marshal of France, making him the first commoner to receive this prestigious title. This appointment was a significant departure from tradition and underscored Fabert's extraordinary contributions to the French military.

Throughout his life, Fabert was known for his integrity, humility, and dedication to duty. His legacy is remembered not only for his military achievements but also for his role in breaking the barriers of social class within the French military hierarchy. Abraham de Fabert's life and career remain a testament to the values of merit and service, and his story continues to inspire future generations.
