Encyclopedia > Duke of Guise

Duc de Guise was a title in the French nobility. It was first created in 1528 for Charles de Lorraine, a son of Duke René II of Lorraine who had married into the French royal house. This creation became extinct in 1688, and the lands passed to the Anne, Pfalzgravine of Simmern, a great-granddaughter of Charles of Lorraine, Duke of Mayenne (whose mother happened to have first married the 5th Duke of Guise) - although she was not the heiress in primogeniture, that being the Duke of Mantova and Montferrat. The dukedom was recreated for her and her husband Henri Jules de Bourbon-Condé in 1704. On the extinction of the Condé family, her descendants, in 1830, the heirs were the House of Orléans (descendants of Anne's granddaughter's Louise Elisabeth de Bourbon-Condé's daughter Louise Henriette de Bourbon-Conti, the Duchess of Orleans), and the title of Duc de Guise was used as a courtesy title for members of this family in the nineteenth century, firstly for three sons of Henri d'Orléans, Duc d'Aumale, and then for Jean, son of Robert d'Orléans, Duc de Chartres.
