After the battle of Waterloo and Napoleon's first abdication, Lord FitzRoy Somerset returned to Paris as secretary to the embassy to accompany Wellington. He was left in charge of the embassy as minister-plenipotentiary from 18 January 1815, when Wellington went to Vienna, until Napoleon's return. He remained at the embassy until 1818, when the allied armies were withdrawn from France. Two of his children were born in Paris - his sons Arthur in 1816 and Richard, later 2nd Baron Raglan in 1817.
