Armand de Foucauld de Pontbriand was an 18th-century French Catholic priest who served as the vicar general of the Archdiocese of Arles. Born in 1751 at the Château de Lascoux, he eventually became a canon in Meaux and held the position of abbot at Solignac. During the French Revolution, he became a figure of resistance by refusing to swear the oath required by the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, leading to his imprisonment and eventual death during the September Massacres.
