Louis II, Cardinal of Guise (6 July 1555, Dampierre – 24 December 1588, Château de Blois), was the third son of Francis, Duke of Guise, and Anna d'Este. His maternal grandparents were Ercole d'Este II, Duke of Ferrara, and Renée of France. He was elected archbishop of Reims in 1574, succeeding his uncle, Charles of Guise. On 21 February 1578, he was created cardinal; he took the title of Cardinal of Guise, succeeding his uncle, Louis I, Cardinal of Guise. He was later named papal legate to Avignon, and made by Henry III of France a knight of the Order of Saint Esprit. His dedication to the cause of his brother Henry I, Duke of Guise, and intransigence to the royal power provoked the hostility of Henry III. At the royal command, the Cardinal was assassinated at the Château de Blois by the King's bodyguard known as "the Forty-five", the day after his brother. An illegitimate son, Louis ''bâtard de Guise'' (1588–1631), born of his ''liaison'' with Aimerie de Lescheraine, ''dame de Grimaucourt'', was legitimised in 1610, after his father's death. Louis become prince of Lexin and married Henriette de Lorraine, daughter of Francis II, Duke of Lorraine. ==See also== * House of Guise 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「Louis II, Cardinal of Guise」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
