Honoré III, Prince of Monaco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Honoré III, Prince of Monaco (November 10, 1720 – March 21, 1795) ruled the Principality of Monaco for almost sixty years from 1733 to 1793. However, Antoine Grimaldi, le Chevalier de Grimaldi, acted as regent for the prince between 1732 and 1784, when Honoré chose to reside in Paris. He was the son of Jacques François Leonor Grimaldi, Prince de Monaco, Duc de Valentinois and Louise Hippolyte de Monaco, Princesse de Monaco, Duchesse de Valentinois.
In 1751 he married Marie-Catherine de Brignole-Sale (d. 1813 England). The couple had two children; Honoré IV, Prince of Monaco and Joseph Grimaldi (10 September 1763 - 28 June 1816) before divorcing in 1770, and Marie-Catherine married the Prince de Condé in 1798.
