henri-rené-albert-guy de maupassant was born 5 august 1850 at the "château de miromesnil" (castle miromesnil, near dieppe in the seine-inférieure (now seine-maritime) department in france. he was the first son of laure le poittevin and gustave de maupassant, both from prosperous bourgeois families. his mother urged his father when they married in 1846 to obtain the right to use the particule or form "de maupassant" instead of "maupassant" as his family name, in order to indicate noble birth. gustave discovered a certain jean-baptiste maupassant, "conseiller-secrétaire" to the king, who was ennobled in 1752. he then obtained from the "tribunal civil" of rouen by decree dated 9 july 1846 the right to style himself "de maupassant" instead of "maupassant" and this was his surname at the birth of his son guy in 1850.
