Note 234 — VII PORTRAITS

Charles-Honoré d’Albert, Duc de Luynes et de Chevreuse, was the grandson of the Constable de Luynes, the minister of Louis XIII, and the son of the Duc de Luynes who retired to Port-Royal and was the friend of Pascal. The Dukedom of Chevreuse came from his grandmother, who after the Constable’s death married the Duc de Chevreuse, the youngest son of Henri de Guise (Le Balafré), and in the days of the Fronde was conspicuous for her intrigues. He died in 1712, nearly two years before his brother-in-law. See IX. 378-387 for a charming portrait.
