Henri de Savoie, 7th Duc de Nemours
- Henri de Savoie, 7th Duc de Nemours
Henri de Savoie (7 November 1625, Paris – 4 January 1659, Paris) was the seventh Duc de Nemours (1652-59), and was also Count of Geneva.
Henri, as the third son of Henri de Savoie, 4th Duc de Nemours, was not expected to succeed to the dukedom and entered the priesthood. By 1651, he had become Archbishop of Reims. When his brothers Louis and Charles both predeceased him without leaving sons, he was relieved of his vows and became Duc de Nemours in 1652. He married Marie d'Orleans in 1657, but died two years later without children. On his death, the title of Duc de Nemours reverted to the Crown. He was succeeded as Count of Geneva by his niece, Marie-Jeanne-Baptiste de Nemours, Duchess of Savoy.
