LaFayette after all served an absolutist monarch who himslef was to have his head removed by revolutionaries.

Lafayette served in the various French legislatures of the time and died in his bed. Perhaps you have someone else in mind.

I was referring to the king, rather obviously. If I had been referring to LaFayette I would have inserted a comma after the word “king” and wrote “and” following the comma.
