Coëtivy (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coëtivy was a family of the Breton nobility attested since the beginning of the 13th century and ruled over Coëtivy (now the Château or Manoir de Coet-Lestremeur in the municipality of Plounéventer ).

history

The family's rise began with Alain III. († 1425), who married a sister of Tanneguy du Chastel . Three of his sons rose to the highest ranks in the kingdom: Prigent VII († 1450) became Admiral of France , Alain († 1474) became Bishop of Avignon and Cardinal , and Olivier became the guardian of the three daughters of King Charles VII with Agnès Sorel , one of whom he married, Marguerite. Olivier and Marguerite's son Charles de Coëtivy eventually became Comte de Taillebourg , Prince de Mortagne and Prince de Gironde.

With Charles' daughter Louise, the main line of the House of Coëtivy died out in 1553. Louise married Charles de la Trémoille, Prince de Talmond, whereby the title of Coëtivys came to the house of La Trémoille .
