House of Levis
The House of Lévis,〔The stabilized spelling of the name is " de Lévis ", but this has coexisted with old spellings ''de Levis'', ''de Levi'', ''de Levy'' et ''de Lévy''〕 better known under the name of Lévis-Mirepoix, is one of the oldest and most distinguished noble families in France. The family originated in the village of Lévis (currently Lévis-Saint-Nom in Yvelines), and first came to prominence in the 12th century as a vassal of the lords of Montfort l'Amaury. After Simon de Montfort assigned the lordship of Mirepoix to Guy I de Lévis as a reward for his participation in the Albigensian Crusade in the 13th century, the House of Lévis became a powerful family in the Languedoc. There were at one time eleven branches, six of which reached the ducal rank under Ancien Régime. Ten of the eleven branches are now extinct, including all the ducal branches. The only remaining branch is that of the Lord de Léran, which subsequently took over the original name of Lévis-Mirepoix.
== Origin ==
The Levis was one of the great houses family of Île-de-France, and trace their origins to a mythical legend with the companion of Clovis I (c. 466 – 511), the first king of the Franks that unite all the Frankish tribes under one ruler. They rivaled with the House of Montmorency for the honor to having their ancestor baptized by Saint Remi immediately just after Clovis, hence from these the motto: ''"God help the second Christian Lévis"'' (with the rhymes Clovis-Lévis). They also claimed - homophonic with the Jewish tribe of Levy - the direct descendants with the Virgin Mary, and some did not hesitate to change the well-known Catholic prayer, ''" Je vous salue Marie, ma cousine, pleine de grâces… "'' ( "I hail Mary, my cousin, full of grace ...").
In reality, the first lord of Lévis historically attested with certainty is Philippe I (c. 1150-1204), Lord of Lévis (Saint-Nom), and father of Guy I de Levis, Lord of Mirepoix. His ancestors are unknown. The most likely hypothesis is that the house of Lévis is a branch of appanaged land of these name, a very important powerful family. Indeed, one does not find the traces before the year 1179, but even then, this dynasty house shows with implying characters the luster and antiquity of its origin.
However, the land of Lévis is located in the jurisdiction of the town and lordship of Chevreuse, it is likely that it has been a dismemberment given to a cadet branche. The same lands of Chevreuse had a previous feud of the comté de Montfort-l'Amaury, there is probably family kinship with Amaury II de Montfort, live in 1028, and Milon de Chevreuse, live in 1029. Moreover, we note in these three houses of Montfort l'Amaury, Chevreuse, and Lévis, the contemporary and continuous adoption of the names Gui, Simon and Philippe.〔Jean Baptiste Pierre Jullien Courcelles, ''Histoire généalogique et héraldique des pairs de France'', 1826.〕 Another hypothesis has been issued but is incorrect.〔Is write in the ''Souvenirs de la Marquise de Créquy (tome 10)'' published in 1840 that the family of Levis could descent to a certain Miles d'Auxerre, Lord of Lévis in Auxerrois in the year 1043, and son of Guillaume I Nevers Count of Nevers and d'Auxerre. But there is no documents records of this relationship, and moreover the only land of Lévis in the County of Nevers and Auxerre is the current town of Lurcy-Lévis, in Allier. Now it is established that the Lévis Lurcy arrived in Lurcy only in 1422, when the manor was brought as a dowry by Agnes Chateaumorand to her husband Bremont (or Bermond) de Lévis, Chamberllain of the Duke of Bourbonnais. Bremont de Lévis, which can be found in the genealogy, descended from Lévis-Lautrec, branch cadet of Levis-Mirepoix; it is at the origin of the lineage branch of Lévis-Ventadour, Barons de Charlus〕
