Biography

The eldest of two children, her parents were Charles Belgique Hollande de La Trémoille, duke de Thouras, and duke de La Trémoille and Madeleine de Créquy. She was engaged to a distant cousin Emmanuel Théodose de La Tour d'Auvergne, (1668–1730), son and heir of Godefroy Maurice de La Tour d'Auvergne, duke of Bouillon, (1641–1721), a Holy Roman Empire title going back as far as 1456, and a territory adscribed to the Holy Roman Empire adjoining the actual duchy of Luxembourg and Belgium but conquered and annexed to revolutionary France, only after 1795 . Emmanuel Théodose's mother was Marie Anne Mancini, niece of Cardinal Mazarin.^[1]

As heir to the Duchy of Bouillon, her husband was styled as the Prince de Turenne. The couple were married on 1 February 1696 in the chapel of the Hôtel de Crequi, Paris, the town house of her maternal grandfather. The couple had seven children, two of which had further issue; it is through her daughter Marie Hortense, that the House of La Trémoille^[2] and the Prince of Ligne are descendants. Through her son Charles Godefroy, the Princes of Guéméné of the House of Rohan are direct descendants.

Through her father, she was a second cousin of Philippe d'Orléans, Regent of France for the infant Louis XV.^[3]

The Princess of Turenne died in Paris at the Hôtel de Bouillon in Paris. Her husband went on to marry three more times; firstly in 1719 to Louise Françoise Angélique Le Tellier (died 1719) a grand daughter of Louvois;^[1] again in 1720 to Anne Marie Christiane de Simiane (died 1722)^[1] and again in 1725 to Louise Henriette Françoise de Lorraine.^[1]
