TheHouse of Rohan (Breton:Roc'han) is aBreton family ofviscounts, laterdukes andprinces in theFrench nobility, coming from the locality ofRohan inBrittany. Their line descends from the viscounts ofPorhoët and is said to trace back to the legendaryConan Meriadoc. Through the Porhoët family, the Rohans are related to theDukes of Brittany, with whom the family intermingled again after its inception. During theMiddle Ages, it was one of the most powerful families in theDuchy of Brittany. The Rohans developed ties with the French and English royal houses as well, and they played an important role inFrench andEuropean history.

The only surviving line of the family is the branch of Rohan-Rochefort,Dukes of Montbazon, Dukes of Bouillon and Austrian Princes of Rohan, who migrated in the early 19th century to what is now Austria.^[1]^[2]

Following his marriage in 1645 withMarguerite de Rohan, only daughter ofHenri II de Rohan, firstDuke of Rohan (who died in 1638 with no male heir),Henri Chabot, a descendant of the eldest branch of theHouse of Chabot fromPoitou, was made Duke of Rohan in 1648 and allowed to use the name of Rohan-Chabot instead of his own, thus giving rise to theHouse of Rohan-Chabot.^[3]^[4]

Origins

The family of Rohan claimed descent from thefirst kings of Brittany, and even from the legendary rulerConan Meriadoc.^[5]

The Rohans were descended from theViscounts of Porhoët. According to J.-P. Soubigou, the first known viscount,Guethenoc (fl. 1028), was probably Viscount of Rennes as well and connected to the nobility of the Loire region, but he could have belonged to a Breton line holding estates aroundJosselin, where he built a castle.^[6]

Guethenoc's sonJosselin I († 1074) took part in theNorman Conquest of England. He was granted lands inBedfordshire,Buckinghamshire andGloucestershire, as well as the town ofCaerwent. He was the father of Mainguy, Bishop of Vannes, andOdo I, Viscount of Porhoët, Rohan and Guéméné († after 1092), who married Anneof Léon and had several sons – Geoffrey, who inherited the viscounty of Porhoët, andAlain Ithe Black (1084–1147), Viscount of Rohan and Castelnoec (fl. 1127), who built the castle ofRohan and was the first member of the House of Rohan.^[2]

History

Rohan estates in the 15th century (black hatching)

From the 12th century to the 15th century, the Rohans kept securing and increasing their estates through marriages, acquisitions, inheritances, bequests and exchanges. Thus they became rivals of theDukes of Brittany all through the Middle Ages, according to their interest, sometimes carrying out the most important charges of the Duchy faithfully, sometimes rebelling, asJohn II of Rohan did in the last years of Breton independence. The "great viscount", then more powerful than ever, controlled nearly 200,000 Bretons on about a fifth of the Breton territory.^[7] The heart of the viscounty of Rohan is made of the rohannais triangle^[8] (the three large fortresses of La Chèze, Josselin and Pontivy) whose center is the village ofRohan, the family's nominal fief whose castle is abandoned in favor of the other three.^[9]

To counter the power of the immense fiefs of the Rohan andRieux families, which divided the Armorican peninsula into two equal parts, theBreton dukes denied them access to the coasts^[10] and blocked them in the eastern part of the duchy through the fortresses of theBreton March, whose main strongholds were Rennes and Nantes.^[11] The Rohans, then unpopular in a very Breton-tradition environment, were neutralized for the time being, and struck back only with the French army's direct support during the campaign of 1487 in theFrench–Breton War, which was marked by internal divisions among the barons of Brittany (Rohan, Rieux, Laval...) who constantly changed sides.^[12] In winter 1487–1488, John II was encircled by the ducal troops: his strongholds of La Chèze, Josselin, Rohan and Pontivy fell one after another in March 1488. The viscount was still coveting the ducal crown for his son but failed. In 1491, the marriage betweenAnne of Brittany andCharles VIII initiated theannexation of the duchy to the French crown, a union that was permanently ratified in 1532.

The Rohan family married several times into theBreton ducal family, the last time in 1407.

Henry II of Rohan chosePontivy as the capital city of his fief. The chief of the Protestant party duringMarie de' Medici's regencyLouis XIII's reign, he was one of the greatest captains of his time.^[13]

In the 17th century, members of the Rohan family began to use their genealogy and their power at the French Court to obtain the rank ofprince étranger, thus coming second after theprinces du sang before all dukes and peers. Their aim was to prove that the formerKings of Brittany effectively ruled and that the Rohans are directly descended from them.

These two assertions were difficult to establish at the time and are not used in the 21st-century historiography.^[14] The Rohans then applied themselves to giving credence to this version through historians such asDom Morice, but also through favour, forcing and violating history if needed. The Rohans had to force their claims through thanks to forged evidence (a common practice in thesearistocratic families in theancien régime).

This operation remained uncertain, theDukes andpeers of France being watchful, and the Rohans secured their position through other means: alliances with other families ofprinces étrangers exclusively (Lorraine,La Tour d'Auvergne andCondé), elevation of their estates into principalities, legally or not (Guéméné, Soubise,Lordship of Léon), accession to theBishopric of Strasbourg, giving them the rank ofPrince of the Empire, and the use of royal favor and their closeness to the kings (Louis XIV and Madame de Soubise,Louis XV and the Marshal of Soubise,Louis XVI andMadame de Marsan,governess of the Children of France).

In spite of attacks from rival families, the Rohans managed to base their power and impose their historical and genealogical views, which provided them with positions allowing them to secure their power and credit at Court. The greatest closeness to the King was then acquired and could not be questioned any more.

Rohan-Soubise branch

Arms of the Rohan-Soubise branch.

This family descended from theRohan-Guéméné branch in 1630, with the estates ofSoubise (inPoitou) and theParc-Soubise (inMouchamps,Vendée) coming from theRohan-Chabot family through an alliance between the two branches.

Charles de Rohan-Soubise, a.k.a. the Marshal of Soubise (1715–1787), Prince of Soubise andMarshal of France, and his daughter Charlotte Godefride Élisabeth de Rohan-Soubise (1737–1760), wife of the Prince of CondéLouis V Joseph de Bourbon-Condé (1736–1818), belonged to this branch of the family.

From 1717 onward, the head of this branch was styledDuke of Rohan-Rohan. ForHercule Mériadec de Rohan-Soubise (1669–1749), the estate ofFrontenay-l'Abattu (département ofDeux-Sèvres, Poitou) was erected in 1717 into apairie-duché called the Duchy of Rohan-Rohan, to differentiate it from the title ofDuke of Rohan held by theHouse of Rohan-Chabot.

This branch became extinct in theRohan-Guéméné family in 1807.

Arms

Former arms

Modern arms

Themascles on the arms of the House of Rohan refer tocrystal twinnings, which are large crystals ofchiastolite (andalusite) that develop inOrdovician schists. They are almost square-sectioned prisms. These stones, which were for centuries called "mascles", abound in theSalles de Rohan, so much that the Viscounts of Rohan, stricken by their beauty and the likeness with the lozenge, put sevenmascles or on theircoat of arms; their descendants added two more in the middle of the 16th century.^[100]

Former arms

Used byGeoffrey of Rohan between 1216 and 1222:gules, sevenmascles or, 3, 3, 1.

Modern arms

Used byHenry I of Rohan between 1552 and 1575. The change from the old arms to the modern ones can be explained by the change of the shape of shields from the 14th century: the base is now flat, not pointed, and the empty space is filled by two new mascles.

Motto

A plus:battle cry which may mean "without more", that is to say, without superior, reminding the Rohans' claim to be the second most important Breton noble family after the Ducal family, or "even more", which would be an invitation to always surpass themselves^[101] is Alan IX's personal motto, often attributed to the whole family. It is symbolized by the letter A topped with a Ducal crown accompanying themascles on thecoat of arms.^[102]

Another,apocryphal motto, modelled on that of theHouse of Coucy, is often attributed to the Rohans:Duc je ne daigne, Roi je ne puis, Prince de Bretaigne, de Rohan je suis (Duke I will not, King I cannot, Prince of Brittany, of Rohan I am) or more often:Roi ne puis, duc ne daigne, Rohan suis (King I cannot, Duke I will not, Rohan I am).^[103] Roland Barthes will use this model in a joke:^[104]Then all writers will say: "Insane I cannot, Sane I will not, neurotic I am.".

Another motto:Rather dead than soiled (Latin:Potius mori quam foedari) which is the motto of the old Dukes of Brittany, the Rohans having been their heirs presumptive since 1532 and the treaty of perpetual Union between Brittany and France.
