History
The duchy of Chevreuse was originally created for Jean de Brosse, Duc d'Étampes, it was transferred in 1555 to Charles of Guise, the Cardinal of Lorraine, and became a possession of the House of Guise, becoming the title of the Cardinal's grandnephew, Charles de Guise (1578–1657).[1] It was sold in 1655 to his wife, Marie de Rohan,[2] who transferred it to the son of her first marriage, the Duc de Luynes. It has since been held by the ducs de Luynes.[3]
