Duke of Longueville

See also: Duchess of Longueville

Duc de Longueville (Duke of Longueville) was a French title of nobility, though not a peerage.

It was created in 1505 by King Louis XII of France for his first cousin once removed François d'Orléans, comte de Dunois, son of François d'Orléans, comte de Dunois, son of Jean d'Orléans, comte de Dunois (comte de Longueville in 1443), who was an illegitimate son of Louis de Valois, duc d'Orléans. The title became extinct in 1694. From 1648 the duke of Longueville was also Sovereign Prince of Neuchâtel. In 1654 the eighth duke was created a peer as duc de Coulommiers but the peerage was never registered and so became extinct at his death.
