Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque
The House of Hauteclocque is a French noble family established during the Middle Ages by the lords of the fief of Hautecloque. Its most illustrious member is Philippe Leclerc de Hauteclocque (1902–1947), leader of the Free French Forces during the Second World War and Marshal of France. "Haulte clocque" in middle French means "High Bell", this explains the familial motto: "On entend loing sonner haulte clocque" ("One can hear the high bell ring from far away").
