From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louise d'Aumont Mazarin (22 October 1759 - 13 December 1826) was the daughter of Louis Marie d'Aumont, Duc d'Aumont, de Mazarin et de La Meilleraye and Louise Jeanne de Durfort, Duchesse de Mazarin et de La Meilleraye.
She married Honoré IV, Prince of Monaco, on 15 July 1777. The couple had two children both of whom in turn ruled Monaco: Prince Honoré V and Prince Florestan. Following their incarceration during the French Revolution the marriage of Honoré IV and Louise d'Aumont Mazarin ended in divorce in 1798. She married as her second husband Rene Francois Tirnand-D'Arcis on 6 February 1801, this marriage too ended in divorce in 1803.
Louise d'Aumont Mazarin was directly descended from Hortense Mancini who had been the sole heiress of Cardinal Mazarin thus through her the Royal family of Monaco acquired all the wealth and estates bequeathed by Cardinal Mazarin, including the Duchy of Rethel, and the Principality of Château-Porcien.
