Beauvilliers (surname)

Beauvilliers (or Beauvillier) was the name of a very ancient French family belonging to the country around Chartres, members of which are found filling court offices from the 15th century onward. For Charles de Beauvillier, gentleman of the chamber to the king, governor and "bailli" of Blois, the estate of Saint-Aignan was created a countship in 1537.

Later, there were two ducs de Beauvilliers:
*François de Beauvilliers, 1st duc de Saint-Aignan (1610-1687)
*Paul de Beauvilliers, 2nd duc de Saint-Aignan (1648-1714), son of the former
