Louis of Lorraine (Louis Charles; 10 September 1725 – 28 June 1761) was a member of the House of Guise, a cadet branch of the House of Lorraine. He married three times and through his daughter, is an ancestor of the present House of Savoy. He was the Grand Squire of France and Governor of Anjou.
Biography[]
He married three times. His last wife, Princess Louise of Rohan (1734–1815)[1] was the daughter of the Prince of Rochefort.
Military career[]
In December 1743,[2][failed verification] he was created the Grand Squire of France, a post which had been occupied by his distant cousin Charles de Lorraine. The post was one of the Great Officers of the Crown of France and a member of the King's Household. The position was roughly equivalent to the United Kingdom positions of Master of the Horse and the Crown Equerry.
Louis XV made him a Brigadier of the King's Armies in April 1745[2][failed verification] and a knight of the Order of the Holy Spirit, the most prestigious knighthoods in France (21 May 1752).[2][failed verification]
