GUISE, HOUSE OF

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 699 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
GUISE, HOUSE OF , a
cadet
  branch of the
house
  of Lorraine (q.v.). Rene II., duke of Lorraine (d. 1508), united the two branches of the
house
  of Lorraine. From his paternal grand-mother, Marie d'Harcourt, Rene inherited the countships of
Aumale
 , Mayenne, Elbeuf,
Lillebonne
 , Brionne and other French fiefs, in addition to the honours of the elder branch, which included the countship of Guise, the dowry of Marie of Blois on her
marriage
  in 1333 with Rudolph or Raoul of Lorraine. Rene's eldest surviving son by his
marriage
  with Philippa, daughter of Adolphus of Egmont, duke of Gelderland, was Anthony, who succeeded his father as duke of Lorraine (d. 1544), while the second, Claude,
count
  and afterwards duke of Guise, received the French fiefs. The Guises, though naturalized in France, continued to
interest
  themselves in the fortunes of Lorraine, and their enemies were always ready to designate them as foreigners. The
partition
  between the brothers Anthony and Claude was ratified by a further agreement in 1530, reserving the lapsed honours of the kingdoms of Jerusalem, Sicily, Aragon, the duchy of Anjou and the countships of
Provence
  and Maine to the duke of Lorraine. Of the other sons of Rene II., John (14981550) became the first cardinal of Lorraine, while Ferri, Louis and Francis fell fighting in the French armies at Marignano (1515), Naples (1528) and Pavia (1525) respectively.
