Family history Duc de Montmorency

Duc de Montmorency – The history of the House of Montmorency

Das Haus Montmorency zählt zu den ältesten Adelsgeschlechtern Frankreichs. Sein Stammvater war Bouchard „le Barbu“, der um das Jahr 1000 die Burg Montmorency nördlich von Paris besaß. Seine Nachkommen standen den Kapetingern nahe und nannten sich stolz „premiers barons chrétiens de France“. Über Generationen dienten sie als Heerführer, Ratgeber und hohe Amtsträger der Krone.

Mathieu II. de Montmorency wurde nach der Schlacht von Bouvines 1214 zur legendären Gestalt. Als Connétable von Frankreich führte er königliche Truppen; sein Wappen soll zur Erinnerung an seine Tapferkeit um zusätzliche Adlerfiguren ergänzt worden sein. Durch Heiraten entstanden bedeutende Zweige, darunter Montmorency-Laval, Fosseux und Bouteville. Die Familie verband Besitzungen von der Île-de-France bis nach Flandern und Languedoc.

Den Glanz der Renaissance verkörperte Anne de Montmorency, trotz seines Vornamens ein Mann. Er wuchs mit dem späteren König Franz I. auf, wurde Marschall, Großmeister und Connétable von Frankreich. In Chantilly ließ er italienische und französische Kunst miteinander verschmelzen. König Heinrich II. erhob ihn 1551 zum Herzog und Pair von Frankreich. Anne fiel 1567 nach der Schlacht von Saint-Denis; seine Söhne François und Henri I. führten das Herzogshaus weiter.

Henri II., ein gefeierter Admiral und Gouverneur des Languedoc, geriet 1632 in eine Rebellion gegen Richelieu und Ludwig XIII. Nach seinem Tod ging Chantilly über seine Schwester Charlotte-Marguerite an das Haus Bourbon-Condé. Andere Montmorency-Zweige setzten die Familiengeschichte fort. Besonders François-Henri de Montmorency-Bouteville, der berühmte Marschall von Luxemburg, gewann unter Ludwig XIV. zahlreiche Schlachten. Seine Nachkommen führten Herzogswürden bis ins 19. Jahrhundert.

Mit Anne-Édouard-Louis-Joseph de Montmorency-Beaumont-Luxembourg schloss sich 1878 die männliche Stammfolge. Namen, Archive und Besitztraditionen gingen über verwandte Häuser weiter. Chantilly, Écouen und zahllose Kunstwerke bewahren das außergewöhnliche Vermächtnis einer Familie, die Frankreich fast neun Jahrhunderte begleitete.
