The House of Rougé is a family of the French nobility, documented since the 11th century, originally coming from the locality of Rougé in Brittany. Their line descends from Rivallo IV of Brittany, himself the son of Saint Salomon, King of Brittany. Through marriages, as well as the valour of their members, the Rougé became one of the most important feudal houses in Brittany between the 13th and 15th centuries, as well as key players in the relations between the Duchy of Brittany and the neighbouring kingdoms of England and France. Since 1220, the lords of Rougé had developed strong ties in the western province of Anjou, where they flourished, and became prominent after the loss of most of their Briton territories (first half of the 15th century). They then held important military positions in the armies of the King of France. == People == Among the more illustrious members of the House of Rougé were two knights crusaders (1st and 7th Crusades), three ambassadors for the King of France (to England, Modena and Rome), a bishop of Périgueux, two Abbots of Bonrepos Abbey, a knight involved in the Spanish Reconquista, a governor of Le Mans during the Wars of Religion, several French generals, two hereditary peers of France, a princess of the Holy Roman Empire, a professor at the Collège de France, a famous Egyptologist, who succeeded to Champollion, several senators and members of parliament of the French Republic, two of the first French military pilots, and soldiers killed in action. The Rougés founded the Abbey of Meilleraye de Bretagne in the 12th century. The Maine-Anjou (cattle) was created by a Rougé at the beginning of the 20th century.
