Châtenois (noble family)

Châtenois (also House of Alsace ) is the name for the family of the dukes of (Upper) Lorraine from 1048 to 1452.

history

They descend in a direct (i.e. male) line from the Matfrieden , one of their subsidiary lines was the family of the Counts of Vaudémont , who received the Duchy back through inheritance in 1473 after the brief interlude by the House of Anjou (see also the list of family members of the House of Vaudémont ) .

The Châtenois family is thus a link between one of the oldest documented families in Europe that still exists today, whose name has been Habsburg-Lorraine since the middle of the 18th century .

The family seat was in Châtenois (Vosges) .

Individual evidence

↑ Charles II is the first Duke of Lorraine by that name. Since the 16th century, however, the Lorraine historians wanted to increase the legitimacy of the dukes through a direct connection with the Carolingians , by calling Duke Karl of Lower Lorraine , († 991), Charles I, and he is still called Charles II today .
