Duc De Montmorency

The title of Duc de Montmorency was created several times for members of the Montmorency family. The first creation was in 1551 for Anne de Montmorency, Constable of France. This title was forfeited by the fourth Duke, who was executed for treason in 1632. The duchy was then recreated in 1633 for his sister Charlotte Marguerite de Montmorency and her husband the Prince de Cond. This title was renamed Duc d'Enghien in 1689, and the Montmorency title transferred to the duchy of Beaufort, which had been conferred on Charles Franois Frederic de Montmorency-Luxembourg, Prince de Tingry, in 1688. This title was authorised to pass through the female line to the branch of Montmorency-Fosseux in 1767 and became extinct in 1862. However, in 1864 the Emperor Napoleon III extended the title to the Duc de Valenay, second son of the Duc de Talleyrand by Anne Louise Charlotte de Montmorency, sister of the 6th Duke. His male issue became extinct in 1951, when the Dukedom of Montmorency again became extinct.

On the death of the Prince de Cond in 1830, the title passed to Louis Philippe III, Duc d'Orlans, a great-great-grandson of the 4th Duc d'Enghien through the female line. He had become King of the French as Louis Philippe I a month earlier.
