Abstract

In 1668 the French genealogist, Louis de Sainte-Marthe, declared that there was no noble house in the kingdom equal to that of the La Trémoille. His observation derived from the five conditions of grandeur for the aristocracy: virtue, antiquity of origin, service to France through the holding of high office, illustrious marital alliances, and the possession of landed estates. The La Trémoille certainly was renowned as an ancient noble bloodline, traced back to the figure of Pierre de la Trémoille in 1040.
