Early life

Charles Honoré Emmanuel was born on 22 June 1846. He was the eldest son of Honoré-Louis d'Albert de Luynes, Duke of Chevreuse (1823–1854),[1] and Valentine-Julie de Contades (1824–1900). His sister was Marie Julie d'Albert de Luynes (wife of Elzéar Charles Antoine de Sabran-Pontevès, 3rd Duke of Sabran)[2] and his younger brother was Paul Marie Stanislas Honoré d'Albert de Luynes, 10th Duke of Chaulnes and Picquigny (who married Princess Sophie Golitsyn, a granddaughter of Prince Pyotr Alexeyevich Golitsyn).[3][4]

His father was the only child of Marie Françoise Dauvet de Maineville and Honoré Théodoric d'Albert de Luynes, 8th Duke of Luynes, a prominent writer on archaeology who is most remembered for the collection of exhibits he gave to the Cabinet des Médailles, and for supporting the exiled Comte de Chambord's claim to the throne of France. His maternal grandparents were French cavalry officer Jules Gaspard Amour de Contades, Viscount de Contades (son of François-Jules de Contades) and Gabrielle Adèle Alexandrine Amys du Ponceau.[5][6]

Career

As his father predeceased his grandfather, he succeeded to the dukedom of Luynes and Chevreuse in 1867 while the dukedom of Chaulnes passed to his younger brother Paul.[7] The dukedom of Luynes had been created for his ancestor, Charles d'Albert, duc de Luynes (brother of Honoré d'Albert, 1st Duke of Chaulnes), by King Louis XIII of France in 1619.[8] He only held the title for three years before his death in 1870 upon which his eldest son, who was only two years old, succeeded to the dukedom.[9]

The Duke was a member of the Papal Zouaves,[lower-alpha 1] and was killed in the Battle of Loigny–Poupry on 2 December 1870.[11]
