Of a Swiss family, he was born in Berlin and served in the Dutch Navy. His father and uncle led Anglo-Dutch forces against Napoleon at Waterloo, his father countermanding Wellington's order for the Dutch troops to evacuate Quattre Bras. Willem Anne Constant de Rebecque was a staunch follower of Auguste Comte's Positivism, and was staying in Florence's Piazza Santa Novella working on the translation into Italian of Comte's Cathechisme positiviste when he fell ill with smallpox, dying in Santa Maria Nuova hospital. His brother Charles ordered his tombstone. He is buried near his Positivist relative F103/ CHEVALIER HENRI D'ARLENS (father, Marc Antoine Casanove d'Arlens, mother, Constance Charlotte de Constant Rebecque). A further relative, Benjamin Constant, was associated with Madame de Staël. A descendant was one of the winners of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1909. It is interesting that this Cemetery clusters the Positivists in this Sector F, the Swedenborgian Spiritualists in Sector B, while Freemasons are in Sectors C (British) and F (American, the Harts).
