Ferdinand de Lanoye

Ferdinand Tugnot de Lanoye (1810–1870) was a French writer.

He was born in Gray, Haute-Saône, to a mother of Danish descent and a father who was a Napoleonic Captain. He studied in Avignon, where his history teacher was Hyacinthe Morel. Since Lanoye's father's Napoleonic associations made him unpopular in the Bourbon Restoration, Lanoye initially found it hard to start a public career. A volume of poetry, Songs and Dreams (1838) led to a friendship with Pierre-Jean de Béranger.
