  Antoine Nompar de Caumont - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antoine Nompar de Caumont, marquis de Puyguilhem, duc de Lauzun (1632 - November 19, 1723), was a French courtier and soldier.
He was the son of Gabriel, comte de Lauzun, and his wife Charlotte, daughter of the duc de La Force.
One of them, the comte de Guiche, became the lover of Henrietta Anne Stuart, Duchess of Orléans, while Catherine Charlotte, afterwards princess of Monaco, was the object of the one passion of Lauzun's life.

De Launay was seized and dragged towards the Hôtel de Ville, but was stabbed to death by the mob in the street outside the Hôtel.
This myth-making began on July 17 1789 with the publication of the Révolutions de Paris with a colourful description of the attack and an entirely false description of the many prisoners freed.
The former location of the fort is currently called the Place de la Bastille, and some of the remains (although not at their original location) are still visible nearby.

The propaganda value of the Bastille was quickly seized upon, notably by the showy entrepreneur Pierre-François Palloy, "Patriote Palloy." The fate of the Bastille was uncertain, but Palloy was quick to establish a claim, organising a force of demolition men around the site on the 15th.
The large ditch (fossé) behind the fort has been transformed into a marina for pleasure boats, the Bassin de l'Arsenal, to the south, and a covered canal, the Canal Saint Martin, extending north from the marina beneath the vehicular roundabout that borders the location of the fort.
Some undemolished remains of one tower of the fort were discovered during excavation for the Métro (rail mass-transit system) in 1899, and were moved to a park a few hundred metres away, where they are displayed today.

Her mother was Marie de Bourbon, heiress of the Duke of Montpensier.

If the Calvinist marriage of her great-great-aunt Charlotte de Bourbon-Montpensier, a former nun, to William the Silent, prince of Orange, was canonically valid, then her heiress was Elisabeth Charlotte of the Palatinate, the then wife of her first cousin, the Duke of Orleans, whose family in fact inherited her.

 Morganatic and Secret Marriages in the French Royalty
On the other hand, accepting that the provisions of the ordonnance of 1639 extend to the succession to the throne is allowing the king to alter the line of succession (albeit with the consent of the Parlement, whose registration was required for the enforcement of an ordonnance).
The then-comte de Clermont divorced his wife in 1984 and married a divorcee the same year, his first religious marriage not having been anulled: his father, strongly disapproving, removed his son from the line of succession, but relented in 1991, and granted a title to his son's second civil wife.
Also, the remarriage of the comte de Paris' sister Isabelle to Pierre prince Murat was not approved and she lost her style as Royal Highness as a result.
