Duc De BroglieThe title of Duc de Broglie was a French peerage belonging to a family of Piedmontese origin, which emigrated to France in the year 1643. The family counts among its members three marshals of France, a Nobel Prize laureate, and several members of the Institut de France. The head of the family, Franois-Marie, a soldier, took the title of comte de Broglie after arriving in France. His grandson, also named Franois-Marie, was created duc de Broglie and a peer of France in 1742. Junior members of the family have the title of prince de Broglie. The family name, on account of its Italian origin, has an unusual pronunciation: /brj/ (as French breuil, close to "broy").
