Louis Charles de La Trémoille
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis Charles de La Trémoille (26 October 1838–4 July 1911), 9th duc de Thouars, was a French nobleman and the son of Charles Bretagne Marie de La Trémoille and his third wife, Valentine Eugénie Joséphine Walsh de Serrant.
La Trémoille was born in his father's seventy-fifth year, and acceded to his titles just one year later. He became an historian and was a member of the Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres. He devoted much study to his family archives, and granted access to them to researchers, in particular Paul Marchegay (1812-1885) and the historian Hugues Imbert (1822-1882).
On July 2, 1862, he married Marguerite-Jeanne Tanneguy-Duchâtel (December 16, 1840 - September 19, 1913), daughter of count Charles Marie Tanneguy Duchâtel, former minister to King Louis-Philippe of France. They had two children:
- Louis Charles Marie (1863–1921) who succeeded him, and
- Charlotte (1864–1944); who married the duke of Estrées, Charles Marie François de La Rochefoucauld (1863-1907).
