[edit] Biography

Eudes was born in Paris. After his parents separated, he was raised by his mother.

On September 27, 1987, Eudes was given the title duc d'Angoulême by his grandfather, Henri, comte de Paris.

On 19 June 1999, Eudes was married in a civil ceremony at Dreux to Marie-Liesse de Rohan-Chabot, elder daughter of Count Louis Mériadek de Rohan-Chabot and of his wife, Princess Isabelle de Bauffremont-Courtenay.[1][2][3] That same evening Eudes' grandfather, the comte de Paris, died.

Eudes and Marie-Liesse's religious wedding took place on 10 July 1999 at Antrain. The ceremonies were muted and there was no ball or public reception on account of the state of mourning for the comte de Paris.[4] Eudes' witnesses were his brother Jean, duc de Vendôme, Prince Gennaro of Bourbon-Sicily, and Henry Lecharny. Marie-Liesse's witnesses were her mother, her sister Eléonore, and Florence Bouteiller.

Eudes and Marie-Liesse have two children:

Eudes is second in line to the Orleanist succession to the French throne after his brother,Jean, duc de Vendôme.
