Isaac de Forcade de Biaix, aka Isaak de Forcade de Biaix,[4] aka Isaac von Forcade de Biaix,[5] aka Isaac von Forcade,[6][7] aka Peter Isaac von Forcade,[8] aka Isaak von Forcade[9] (c. 1703,[2][6] in Pau,[3] Béarn – 21 January 1775,[6] in Potsdam, Prussia), was a Royal Prussian colonel, Hofmarschall[1][6] to the Prince of Prussia[6] and recipient of Prussia's highest military order of merit for heroism, Knight of the Order of Pour le Mérite.[4] He was a descendant of the noble family of Forcade in Béarn, born as a Roman Catholic, but emigrated to Brandenburg-Prussia at a young age, where he joined the Huguenot community in Berlin.
He is referred to in some historical sources, as Isaac Quirin von Forcade, Marquis de Biaix,[10][11] As with his uncle and first cousin, there is no evidence that he was ever a Marquis. Biaix was never, at any time in its history, a marquisate, but instead a noble manor in Pau (see also Manorialism).
