Charles Philippe d’Albert, 4th Duke of Luynes (30 July 1695 – 2 November 1758) held the title Duke of Luynes from 1712 to 1758. He wrote an important memoir of life at the court of Louis XV.
Luynes was a Peer of France and cavalry officer. He was part of the intimate group that she called her "gentlefolk" (honnêtes gens). He wrote a journal of historic events and facts about the court, a work which has no pretension of literary merit, but is valuable as a document for the study of the aristocratic society of his time.[2]
Personal lifeedit
He was twice married. His first marriage took place on 24 February 1710 to Louise-Léontine de Bourbon (1696–1721), Princess of Neuchatel, a granddaughter of Louis de Bourbon, Count of Soissons. Before her death in 1721, they were the parents of:[1]
Marie Charles Louis d'Albert de Luynes (1717–1771), who married Thérèse Pélagie d'Albert in 1735. After her death, he married Henriette Nicole d'Egmont-Pignatelli.[1]
Through his son Marie Charles, he was a grandfather of Louis Joseph Charles Amable d'Albert de Luynes, Duke of Luynes (1748–1807), who had an active military and political career like his father.[1]
