Coat of arms of those of Orléans-Longueville

Orléans-Longueville is an illegitimate branch of the House of Valois-Orléans .

history

The progenitor is Jean de Dunois , the "bastard of Orléans", illegitimate son of Louis de Valois , and comrade in arms of Joan of Arc . In 1443 he received the title of Count of Longueville , which in 1505 was elevated to the title of duke for his grandson. In 1503 the brother of the future duke had acquired the sovereign county of Neuchâtel through marriage , which made him Prince étranger (foreign prince), which gave him a prominent rank compared to the other princes. In 1525 his son was appointed peer of France . The next uprising benefited the 6th Duke, Léonor d'Orléans-Longueville , who was raised to the rank of Prince of the Blood in 1571 with the right to succession to the throne, thereby removing the illegitimacy of the family. In 1672 the 10th Duke of Longueville was elected King of Poland , but he did not accept the election.

The family died in 1694 with the 9th Duke, who inherited the title a second time after the death of the 10th Duke, in the male line, in 1707 completely. The Duchy of Longueville fell back to the Crown in 1694, the Principality of Neuchâtel came to the King of Prussia in 1707 through the election of estates and only became part of Switzerland in 1857.

Another unequal branch line of the Longueville was the Orléans-Rothelin line , which was created through an illegitimate relationship of François d'Orléans-Longueville († 1548).

Individual evidence

  1. ↑ Schwennicke writes La Ferté-Villeneuf
  2. ↑ Schwennicke writes Château-Regnault; there is a risk of confusion with a district of Bogny-sur-Meuse on today's French northern border (which is completely separate from the other possessions)
  3. ↑ Schwennicke writes Mercant , but from the further succession it becomes clear that Mervent is meant
