Victor-Maurice de Broglie was born in the De Broglie house, a noble family originally from Piedmont. He was the son of François-Marie, comte de Broglie and Angelique de Vassal, Countess of Favria. After the death of his father he inherited Revel Counties and de Broglie, the marquisate of Senonches and also received the Government of La Bassee, near Lille.

He served under Condé, Turenne, and other commanders of the age of Louis XIV in the Franco-Dutch War and other conflicts.

He was named maréchal de camp in 1676, lieutenant-general in 1688, and finally marshal of France in 1724, just three years before his death.

He had three sons, one of whom predeceased him. The second son, Charles-Guillaume, marquis de Broglie, was his heir, while the third son, François-Marie, a general and a marshal of France like his father, became the first duc de Broglie.
