===================================================

E: of the duchy of Bouillon.htm

Henri de La Tour <http://ecole.wanadoo.fr/prairiesedan/Dicopers/Tourhenri.htm> was the head of the junior branch of the La Tour  family. The La Tour had become comtes d'Auvergne  and Boulogne , by the marriage of Bertrand IV de La Tour in 1389 to Marie d'Auvergne, daughter of Godefroy of Boulogne, Lord of Montgascon; the eldest son Bertrand V became comte d'Auvergne, his line ending in 1501; the younger son Godefroi inherited Montgascon. Earlier, however, a younger son of Bertrand II had received the seigneurie d'Oliergues. Agne de La Tour, seigneur d'Oliergues (d. 1489), married Anne de Beaufort, heir to the vicomté de Turenne . His two sons were Antoine and Antoine-Raymond, the latter's posterity continuing to the 19th century. The former's son François (1497-1532) married Anne de La Tour de Montgascon, heir of Godefroi cited above. Their grandson was Henri de La Tour. After they inherited Bouillon  in 1594, the arms of the family became: Quarterly La Tour, Auvergne, Turenne, Bouillon, over all Boulogne (first appearance on a coin of 1614) and later still: Quarterly 1 and 4 La Tour, 2 Boulogne, 3 Turenne, over all Auvergne impaling Bouillon. A map of Clermont-Ferrand dated 1739 and visible at Gallica <http://gallica.bnf.fr/> shows the arms of the duc de Bouillon supported by two griffins sejeant regardant crowned and an open ducal coronet.

Arms of La Tour d'Auvergne, from a 1613 and 1614 coin, respectively. See also a nice collection of coins from Sedan <http://ecole.wanadoo.fr/prairiesedan/Dicopers/Monnaies.htm>.
Parenthetically, the senior line of La Tour ended with Jean, grandson of Bertrand V, who died in 1501. By Anne de Bourbon he had two daughters: Anne, married in 1505 to John Stuart duke of Albany and died without issue in 1524; and Madeleine, married to Lorenzo de Medici, duke of Urbino. The counties of Auvergne, Boulogne and the baronny of La Tour passed to the daughter of Madeleine, Catherine de Medici, wife of Henri II of France. On her death in 1589, the baronny of La Tour passed to Marguerite de Valois, daughter and only surviving child of Catherine. She gave La Tour to Louis XIII. However, there were other claimants: Jean de La Tour, last comte d'Auvergne, had a sister Louise, who married Claude de Blaisi; their daughter Suzanne married in 1508 Christophe de Rochechouart, seigneur de Chandonnier. Their great-grandson Jean-Louis de Rochechouart pursued the matter in court and won by an arrêt of Sept. 2, 1617 and settlements of January 2, 1620 signed by the king on Feb 2, registered in Parlement on March 18. Jean-Louis de Rochechouart received on October 1, 1621 possession of the baronny (but not the lordship, reserved by the king for himself) disputed since 1501. It was later sold in 1688 to Victor-Maurice de Broglie. The lordship of the baronny was given to the duc de Bouillon in the contract of 1651 discussed below.

Portait of Henri de La Tour (1614).
Henri de La Tour now called himself duc de Bouillon, prince souverain de Sedan (see, for example, an écu coin struck in Sedan in 1613, bearing the legend "Henricus de La Tour dux Bullionaeus supremus princeps Sedanensis"). Letters Patent of March 1595 were registered in Paris on 9 May 1596, "confirmant au duc de Bouillon marechal de France, prince souverain de Sedan et Jametz, les privilèges, franchises, libertés et exemptions qui lui ont été accordées ainsi qu'à ses sujets par les précédents Rois".
Once widowed, Henri de La Tour married Elisabeth of Nassau <http://ecole.wanadoo.fr/prairiesedan/Dicopers/Nassau.htm>, daughter of William the Silent, and the line of the La Tour ducs de Bouillon descend from this marriage. Their two sons were Frédéric-Maurice (1605-52) and Henri de La Tour <http://ecole.wanadoo.fr/prairiesedan/Dicopers/Turenne.htm>, vicomte de Turenne, the famous maréchal de France (1611-75, without issue).
