The Duke of Luynes is a territorial name belonging to the noble French house d'Albert. Luynes is, today, a commune of the Indre-et-Loire ''département'' in France . The family of Albert, which sprang from Thomas Alberti (died 1455), ''seigneur'' de Boussargues, ''bailli'' of Viviers and Valence, and viguier of Bagnols〔 (Bagnols-sur-Cèze ), Gard Provençal〕 and Pont-Saint-Esprit in Languedoc, acquired the estate of Luynes in the 16th century. == History == Honoré d'Albert (d. 1592), ''seigneur'' de Luynes, was in the service of the three last Valois kings and of Henry IV of France, and became colonel of the French bands, commissary of artillery in Languedoc and governor of Beaucaire. He had three sons: * Charles (1578–1621), first duke of Luynes, and favorite of Louis XIII. * Honoré (1581–1649), first Duke of Chaulnes, was ''seigneur'' de Cadenet and married Charlotte Eugenie d'Ailly, countess of Chaulnes, in 1619, and was created duke of Chaulnes in 1621. He was governor of Picardy and marshal of France (1619), and defended his province successfully in 1625 and 1635. * Leon, ''seigneur'' de Brantes, who became duke of Luxembourg-Piney by his marriage in 1620 with Margaret Charlotte of Luxembourg. By her marriage with Claude of Lorraine, duke of Chevreuse, Marie de Rohan, the widow of the first duke of Luynes, acquired in 1655 the duchy of Chevreuse, which she gave in 1663 to Louis Charles d'Albert, her son by her first husband; and from that time the title of duke of Chevreuse and duke of Luynes was borne by the eldest sons of the family of Luynes, which also inherited the title of duke of Chaulnes on the extinction of the descendants of Honoré d'Albert in 1698. The branch of the dukes of Luxemburg-Piney became extinct in 1697. Some other notable family members are: *Louis Auguste d'Albert d'Ailly (1676–1744), duke of Chaulnes, became marshal of France (1741). *Louis Joseph d'Albert de Luynes (1670–1750), prince of Grimberghen, was in the service of the Emperor Charles VII, and became field-marshal and ambassador in France. Several members of the family of Albert were distinguished in letters and science. Louis Charles d'Albert (1620–1690), duke of Luynes, son of the ''constable'', was an ascetic writer and friend of the Jansenists; Paul d'Albert de Luynes (1703–1788), Cardinal and archbishop of Sens, an astronomer; Michel Ferdinand d'Albert d'Ailly (1714–1769), duke of Chaulnes, a writer on mathematical instruments, and his son Marie Joseph Louis (1741–1793), a chemist; and Honoré Theodore Paul Joseph (1802–1867), a writer on archaeology. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Duke of Luynes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
