Family history Vicomte de Turenne

Vicomte de Turenne – The History of the Lords of Turenne

Hoch über den Tälern von Corrèze entstand im Mittelalter die Vizegrafschaft Turenne. Ihre Burg beherrschte Wege zwischen Limousin, Quercy und Périgord. Seit dem 10. Jahrhundert ist die Herrschaft mit dem Haus Comborn verbunden. Dessen Vicomtes nahmen an Kreuzzügen teil, gründeten Klöster und bauten ein geschlossenes Territorium auf. Geschickt nutzten sie die Rivalität zwischen französischen und englischen Königen, um Freiheiten zu sichern.

Turenne entwickelte sich beinahe zu einem kleinen Staat. Die Vicomtes hielten Ständeversammlungen ab, erhoben Abgaben, prägten Münzen und verliehen Adelsrechte. Nach Raymond VII. brachte seine Tochter Marguerite die Herrschaft zu Beginn des 14. Jahrhunderts an Bernard VIII. de Comminges. Deren Nachfahren führten Turenne bis 1350; dann erwarb Guillaume Roger de Beaufort, ein Neffe Papst Clemens’ VI., die Vizegrafschaft und heiratete Aliénor de Comminges.

Die Beaufort-Zeit verband Turenne mit dem päpstlichen Avignon. Raymond de Turenne wurde in den Kämpfen der Provence berühmt. Über Anne de Beaufort und ihre Ehe mit Annet IV. de La Tour gelangte das Erbe 1444 an La Tour d’Auvergne.

Diese Familie führte Turenne zu neuem Glanz. Henri de La Tour d’Auvergne kämpfte an der Seite Heinrichs IV., wurde Herzog von Bouillon und Fürst von Sedan. Sein Sohn Henri, 1611 geboren, machte den Titel europaweit berühmt: Als „Grand Turenne“ wurde er Marschall von Frankreich und einer der angesehensten Feldherren des 17. Jahrhunderts. Seine ruhige Führung und Beweglichkeit prägten die Kriegskunst seiner Epoche.

1738 verkaufte Charles Godefroy de La Tour d’Auvergne die Vizegrafschaft für 4,2 Millionen Livres an Ludwig XV.; ihre Sonderrechte gingen damit in der Krondomäne auf. Der Herzog durfte Namen und Titel weiterführen. Die Burgtürme, Archive von Corrèze und der Ruhm des Marschalls bewahren die vielgestaltige Geschichte Turennes bis heute.
