Duke of Chaulnes

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The title Duke of Chaulnes was created in favor of Honoré d'Albert and linked to the title of Peer of France . The title referred to the municipality of Chaulnes in Picardy .

The appointment was part of a series of surveys with which King Louis XIII. thanked for the coup d'état of 1617, with which Honoré's brother Albert von Chaulnes in particular gave him real power against his mother Maria de 'Medici :

  • April 24, 1617 Assassination of Concino Concinis , Marshal of France , then Marie de 'Medici is exiled and Charles d'Albert is appointed First Minister.
  • September 11, 1617 Charles d'Albert marries the daughter of the Duke of Montbazon
  • August 1619: Charles is appointed Duke of Luynes and Peer of France ,
  • December 6, 1619: Honoré is appointed Marshal of France
  • January 6, 1620: Léon d'Albert, brother of Charles and Honoré, marries the Duchess of Luxembourg and subsequently appointed Peer of France
  • January 14, 1620: Honoré marries the heiress of the House of Ailly , the Comtesse de Chaulnes
  • January 1621: Honoré is appointed Duke of Chaulnes and Peer of France
  • 2 April 1621: Charles becomes the Constable of France appointed
  • December 15, 1621: Charles d'Albert dies.

As Honoré's children remained without descendants, the title lapsed in 1698 and was revived in 1711 in favor of Charles Honoré d'Albert , Duc de Luynes. This line also died out in 1793. Since the 19th century the title has been used again within the Albert family, but now as "titre de courtoisie" (courtesy title).
