He is the younger son of Jean III de Beauvau and Jeanne de Tigny[1]. He has an older brother, Pierre i. of Beauvau[2].

He began his career in the service of Louis II of Anjou. Its military acts, career diplomat and creditor to the Court of the Dukes of Anjou, namely Louis III of Anjou and René I of Anjou, and Kings, Charles VII of France and Louis XI of France, finally allowed him to amass a considerable fortune[1]. He was also Seneschal ofAnjou, first lay president of the Chamber of accounts in Paris[1] and Senator of theCrescent order.

The House of Beauvau is a very old family from Anjou, titular for several centuries of the seigneurie de Beauvau (Maine-et-Loire) ; of knightly extraction, it traced its evidence of nobility until 1265. It split into two main branches, the Beauvau du Rivau and the Beauvau-Craon, who made career under the Kings of France but also under the Dukes of Lorraine

Related to the counts of Anjou, the Beauvau spent at the service of the Kings of France in the XIIIe century, and the Dukes of Lorraine3 at the end of the middle ages. In 1454, Isabeau de Beauvau (daughter of Louis de Beauvau) married Jean VIII de Bourbon, count of Vendôme ; Isabeau is the trisaieule of King Henri IV, and the Beauvau family was thus recognize the title prestigious cousin of the King, reserved for the few families with an alliance with the House of France, by Louis XIV, then officially by Louis XV in 17394.

The main members of the family include:
René de Beauvau, who accompanied Charles d’Anjou in 1226 to the conquest of the Kingdom of Naples, and became his Constable.
Louis de Beauvau (1409-1462) who was Seneschal of Anjou.

Beauvau du Rivau branch[change the code]

Mathieu II de Beauvau (?-1421), from a cadet branch, received the lordship of the Bentley which was first used to refer to this branch. His son Pierre de Beauvau (?-1453), in 1438 , 2nd Lord of the Bentley, first Chamberlain to Charles VII, married Anne de Fontenay, dame du rivau, which brought this Lordship in the family of Beauvau and the Château du Rivau in Anjou , which he remained until 1685. The lordship of the Rivau was erected in marquisate of Beauvau du Rivau in 1664 by Louis XIV in favour of Jacques III de Beauvau, Lord of the Rivau, and she served since to refer to this branch.

The Beauvau du Rivau Branch made strain in Brittany and gave two bishops in Nantes. She counted including:
Gabriel de Beauvau du Rivau, Bishop of Nantes from 1635 to 1668.
Gilles Jean-François de Beauvau du Rivau, Bishop of Nantes from 1679 to 1717, nephew of the former.
Pierre François de Beauvau du Rivau, Bishop of Sarlat of 1688 to 1701.
René François de Beauvau du Rivau (1664-1739), Archbishop of Toulouse and of Narbonne, nephew of the former.

Beauvau-Craon branch[change the code]

Jean IV de Beauvau (1421-1503), Lord of Beauvau and Sermaise in Anjou, inherited her mother Jeanne de Craon the lordship of Craon (Mayenne), and began the Beauvau-Craonbranch. By becoming his wife, baron of Manonvillelaw, he also established this new branch in Lorraine.

On the death of René II de Beauvau (grandson of the above) in 1548, his sons have shared heritage: Claude (died 1597) continued the branch of the Lords of Beauvau, Manonville barons, Lords of Noviant, Tremblecourt, etc., and acquired the lordship of Fléville by his marriage with Nicole de Lutzelbourg . Alophe started the branch of the barons of Rorte (or Rorthey5(, acquired by their grandfather Pierre II de Beauvau Lordship), and Jean began one of the Lords of Panges (seigneurie inherited from their mother).

Henry II (1610-1683) was created Marquess of Beauvau by Louis XIV in 1664. His grandson and successor Marc (1679-1754), marquis of Beauvau Craon (1712), also received the marquisate ofHaroué of the Leopold Duke of Lorraine , and built the Castle (or Palace) of Haroué next to the ancient castle of François de Bassompierre. He was made prince of the Holy Roman Empire and created 1st prince of Craon by the Emperor in 17226.

The 2nd prince, Charles just de Beauvau-Craon, had married the daughter of the Duke of Bouillon, which had rank of foreign prince (en) to the Court of France, and Louis XV in 1745 acknowledged the use of the title of prince in the Beauvau-Craon7which were thus admitted to the honours of the Court in 1775.

The princes also possessed the Castle of Sainte-seat at Seine-Port (Seine-et-Marne) from 1827 to 1922.

(3) René, who was particularly fond of this girl, confirmed, by marrying, the gift that it had already made of the lordship of Mirebeau; her husband, consideration of the honour and advantage of this alliance, assigned a jointure of £ 500 to rent on the land of Ternay, the tithe of Loudun and a few other assets. Blanche of Anjou, born c. 1438, died at Aix April 16, 1470.Elle was buried in the Church of the Grands-Carmes, near the choir. The only epitaph has been preserved, and they can be seen embedded in the wall of the cloister of the Cathedral of Saint-Sauveur. The statue of the Princess who was lying on the Tomb has disappeared: on the dress of white dAnjou were sown of Lion Cubs, Jerusalem crosses and fleurs-de-lis. Beauvau Bertrand, in his will, complained strongly of Blanche of Anjou, as does him having served, aymé, nor honored, as good woman must do to her mary.

Lord of the Rochettes, Sermaizes and des Essarts, baron of Manonville appointed Seneschal of Anjou April 14, 1458, consideration of its previous services, said the Act, and because “ceulx of the House which he is yssu have been and are principaulx servants of the our, in which they have servy moult greatly and commendably”; son of Pierre de Beauvau and Jeanne de Craon (1); husband of Jeanne de Manonville, only daughter and heiress of Jean and Alarde de Chambley, sister of Margaret, wife of Louis de Beauvau, his older brother; death in 1468.

Jean de Beauvau fills important missions to Louis XL for René of Anjou. II left his duties with life and was replaced on 21 January 1669, by Jean de Lorraine, father of Ferry de Lorraine and cousin of the King of Sicily.

(1) A line of heroic courage is committed on behalf of the mother of Jean and Louis de Beauvau, Jeanne de Craon, last heir to a powerful House of Brittany. About to give birth to her second son, she asked it even the Caesarean operation, become necessary to save the life of her child, “otherwise, says the Chronicle, this dark Dungeon was este envoj’e to eternal darkness. ” Thus the Lady of Beauvau may be quite honoured to have, by a resolution so generous and piety really Christian, dedicated to God and to his seed this mortal life, to deprive his son of the immortal, him removing the means of being reclaimed from the waters of the Holy baptesme, if it the eust put the stillborn world. But, for the record of this, she required her mary their son portast the arms of Beauvau escartelees with those of Craon and ceulx that naisteroient luy and his posterity would be obliged to make similar in perpetuity, which since has been observed to the descendants of the same. “This last sentence is incorrect, because it results from authentic monuments that Louis de Beauvau, Jean elder brother, écartela also its weapons of those of Craon, and this in the lifetime of the latter.

BEAUVAU (Louis of)

Ecartelé: 1 and 4, Argent, four Lion Cubs quartered of gules, armed, langued and crowned azure (BEAUVAU); 2 and 3, diamond gold and gules (CRAON).

Lord of Champigné, and La Roche sur Yon, baron of Château-Renard (1), Seneschal of Anjou and Provence, Governor of Lorraine, Captain of fort Saint-Jean in Marseille, first Chamberlain of René of Anjou; eldest son of Pierre de Beauvau and Jeanne de Craon; Marie: 1 ° with Marguerite de Chambley, daughter of Ferry and Jeanne de Launay. 2 ° with Jeanne de Baudricourt; 3 ° with Jeanne de Beaujeu, daughter of Edward, Lord Amplepuis, and Jacqueline de Linières; death in Rome in 1472.

Louis de Beauvau was particularly dear to King René, because he had shared the vicissitudes of his good and bad fortune. Like him, he loved the letters, arts, poetry, tournaments and celebrations; showing always good, just and fair, full of generosity and Valor. The brightness which shone this illustrious Knight was such as Jean de Bourbon, count of Vendôme, in calling for the hand of Isabelle of Beauvau (+ 1474), his only daughter and heiress, believed not make an alliance (November 9, 1454) unworthy of a grandson of saint Louis. At that time, the royal blood that flowed down to the France, mingled often than large knightly breeds, as to draw a new heroism in this inexhaustible source of virtue and honor. Henry IV, the great Condé, all the princes of their blood and by them all the princes of Europe, are direct descendants of Isabelle de Beauvau. It seems that René of Anjou was this glorious destiny when, in his novel of Doulce Mercy, he attached the Blazon of his Seneschal among those heroes and emperors, on the ceiling of the portico of the Cymetiere of Vlsle of the God of love.

It was in Rome, where René had sent it in Embassy to Pius II, died Louis de Beauvau. His coffin, reported in Angers by pious servants, was laid beside that of Marguerite de Chambley (mother of Isabelle de Beauvau), in the Church of the Cordeliers, built by his ancestors and fell under the revolutionary hammer. The stained glass windows of the choir traced the portraits of both spouses. Louis was represented in arms, knees and head naked near the graceful Marguerite, wearing of the hennin with a Crescent on the front (2).

Louis de Beauvau cultivated with success literature; He is, in addition to a translation of the Boccaccio Philostratus (attributed by some to Pierre de Beauvau, his father), a relationship the Shepherdess, held in Tarascon, in June 1449 pitch. Louis de Beauvau was the nephew of Bertrand de Beauvau.

(1) Louis de Beauvau had acquired this important Lordship of le roi René, June 14, 1453. The load of great senechal of Provence, that he came for, him giving the opportunity to visit often Château-Renard, he beautifully decorated the Interior of the Castle and it embellishes paintings, from the lobby to the second floor. Remains of these paintings still existed in the great room, at the time of the Revolution, having thus survived three centuries old. We saw in this room, all the in-between of Corbels of vaults, the quartered arms of Beauvau Craon, and Marguerite de Chambley. These coats were accompanied by the motto “without dispose”, which was also in every corner of the great room; currency whose body consisted of a tree trunk from which came out several cut twigs of distance in distance. The motto “without dispose” has always been that the House of Beauvau-Craon: she recalls or consistency and strength in the conjugal union of Pierre de Beauvau and Jeanne de Craon, that paid his life for his sublime sacrifice, or fraternal union of Louis and Jean de Beauvau. This last explanation appears all the more likely that there were on the walls of the room above a painting representing two men dressed in the Roman. They stood entwined, supported on the trunk of a tree whose roots are piledriving to their legs, with the motto “without dispose”. (Prince H. VALORI, history of the Royal barony of Château-Renard, p. 80).
