Count Robert De Saint Germain

Count Robert de Saint Germain is not the same person as the mystical Saint Germain or the "Man who never died". Count Robert De Saint Germain lived at the same time as the mystical Comte De Saint Germain but Robert was a General and got himself into trouble with the King of France's court. In fact if you Google Count Claude-Louis-Robert De Saint Germain you will first find a painting of him that you can get a copy of for about $49.99. He lived from 1707 to 1778. Also there is Pierre-Renault de Saint Germain who was governor of Chengalaput, in India in 1752 and a Robert-Francois Quesnay de St. Germain who was active in several secret societies.

There is a painting of the real Count De Saint Germain "The man who never died" at wikipedia under the heading "Count of St. Germain".

It also has been documented by witnesses of the time that these were some of the names and aliases that the mystical "Comte De Saint Germain" used:
Comte De Saint Germain in 1710 witnessed by the Countess D'Adhemar
Marquis de Montferrat in 1760 witness by the Countess D'Adhemar
Comte Bellamarre in Venice
Comte Aymar in Venice
Chevalier Shoening at Pisa
Chevalier Weldon at Milan and Leipzig
Comte Soltikoff at Genoa and Leghorn
Graf Tzarogy at Schwalbach and Triesdorf
Prince Ragoczy at Dresden
And of course the Comte De Saint Germain at Paris, The Hague, London and Saint Petersburg

Also, in the 18th century just like now in many parts of the world the disparity between rich and poor, educated and uneducated, and world traveled and not world traveled was extreme so using aliases was a way to protect oneself and ones family from harm when traveling. And the last point to be remembered is that King Louis the Fifteenth engaged the Comte De Saint Germain as his personal spy internationally and also the Comte was a trusted free ranging Ambassador and confident of King Louis the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Sixteenth of France.
