Шаблон:Infobox officeholder Erasmus-Henri de Contades, Marquis de Contades (6 June 1814 – 24 February 1858) was a French diplomat and politician.

Early life

Contades was born on 6 June 1814 in Angers, the prefecture of the Maine-et-Loire department. He was a son of Marie-Henriette d'Oms (1790–1858), and Gaspard de Contades (1785–1817), a Senior Officer of Cuirassiers who died when he was only 31 years old.

Through his grandfather, Erasmus-Gaspard de Contades, he was a descendant of Louis Georges Érasme de Contades, Marquis de Contades and Marshal of France. His maternal grandparents were Count Dominique-Hippolyte d'Oms and Aglaé Françoise de Castellane (daughter of François-Henri de Castellane, Marquis de Castellane).

Career

After serving as an embassy attaché, he was elected on 20 November 1847 to the Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of the French Parliament, for Cantal. The French Revolution of 1848, which led to the collapse of the July Monarchy and the foundation of the French Second Republic, ended his political career.
