House of Rougé
Encyclopedia
The House of Rougé is a family of the French nobility, documented since the 11th century, originally coming from the locality of Rougé
in Brittany. Their line descends from Rivallo IV of Brittany
, himself the son of Saint Salomon, King of Brittany. Through marriages, as well as the valour of their members, the Rougé became one of the most important feudal house in Brittany between the 13th and 15th centuries, as well as kee-players in the relations between the Duchy of Brittany, and the neighbouring kingdoms of England
and France
.
Since 1220, the Rougé had developed strong ties in the western province of Anjou
, where they flourished, and became prominent after the loss of most of their Briton territories (first half of the 15th century). They then hold important military positions in the armies of the King of France.
(1st and 7th Crusade), three ambassadors for the King of France (one in England, one in Modena
, and one in Rome
), a bishop of Périgueux
, two Abbot
s of Bonrepos Abbey, a knight taking part of the Spanish Reconquista, a governor of Le Mans
during the Wars of Religion, several French generals, two hereditary peers of France, a princess of the Holy Roman Empire
, a professor at the Collège de France
, a famous Egyptologist, who succeeded to Champollion, several senators and members of parliament of the French Republic, two of the first French military pilots, and a record of soldiers killed in action. The Rougé founded the Abbey of Meilleraye de Bretagne in the 12th century. The Maine-Anjou (cattle) was created by a Rougé at the beginning of the 20th century.
The family also hold the duchy of Caylus, with Grandee of Spain, and was made marquis
, count
and viscount
de Rougé, du Plessis-Bellière and du Faÿ (Faÿ-lès-Nemours
), peer of France, Lord of Derval
, Baron of Coëtmen.
, Count of Poher, himself a member of the sovereign house of Brittany.
However, they had strong ties to the neighbouring house of Derval, and of Chateaubriand, with whom they intermingled. In 1275, Olivier IV de Rougé married the heiress of the Lordship of Derval, and so became himself Lord of Derval
and a prominent player in this region of Brittany, holding the fiefs of Rougé and Derval, as well as other less important ones. The Duke was developing stronger ties with nobility around Nantes, than with the northern or western Lordships of his duchy, constantly looking for rebellion.
The most illustrious person of this line was certainly Bonabes IV de Rougé de Derval
, who played a kee-role in the Briton war of succession, between Jean de Montfort and Charles the Lame of Blois, being a counsellor to the King Jean of France after the defeat of Charles de Blois. Bonabes IV was imprisoned in the tower of London, from which he escaped, with the brother of the King.
