Prince Jean Charles Lamoral de Ligne-La Trémoïlle (16 June 1911 – 9 July 2005), 14th Duke of Thouars, 13th Duke of La Trémoïlle, 16th Prince de Tarente, 20th Prince de Talmond and 20th Count of Laval,[1] was a Franco-Belgian nobleman and the only child of the French Princess Charlotte de La Trémoïlle, 13th Duchess of Thouars, and her Belgian husband, Prince Henri-Florent de Ligne. Upon the death of his mother in 1971, he succeeded to all of her French noble titles.

Family background

[edit]

Although a junior member of the House of Ligne, he founded a distinct cadet branch of that princely family – upon the death of his childless maternal uncle, Louis Jean Marie de La Trémoille, prince étranger, he legally appended his mother's surname (de La Trémoïlle) to his father's surname (de Ligne) in Belgium.[2][3]

Marriage and children

[edit]

On 11 March 1942 in Paris, France, he married Maria del Rosario de Lambertye-Gerbeviller (14 October 1922 - 17 March 2023), daughter of Charles Edmond de Lambertye, Marquis de Gerbeviller.[4]

They had three children, all of whom married into princely families:[2]

  • Althea Isabelle Sophie
  • Athénaïs Allegra Isabella
  • Antoine Tao Édouard Adrien
  • Charles Lamoral Joseph Malcolm (born in Paris in 1980), wed at Antoing Castle on 20 November 2010 to Ran Li (born in Guangdong, China).[5]
  • Amadeo Joseph Gabriel

His legal title and style in Belgium was: "His Highness Jean Charles de Ligne de La Trémoïlle, Prince de Ligne."[citation needed]
