House of RougéThe de Rougé family whose former name was des Rues is a family of the French nobility from Anjou and dating back to the 14th century.[1][2] Some historians believe that the exiting Rougé family from Anjou comes from a Rougé family known since 1045, ruling over the lordship of Rougé in Brittany, but the link between the des Rues family and the former de Rougé family is not proven.[2][1] Several members of this family have distinguished themselves as soldiers, churchmen, diplomats, and academics. OriginsThe existing des Rues family used the name de Rougé at the beginning of the 16th century after that the older family of the same name de Rougé (known since 1045 became extinct.[2][1] The proven filiation of the existing de Rougé family is established with Huet des Rues, married in 1375 with Jeanne d'Erbrée[2] or with Jean II des Rues, married in 1421 with Jeanne d’Orvaux.[1] Some historians believe that exiting Rougé family comes from a Rougé family known since 1045, ruling over the lordship of Rougé in Brittany, but the link between the des Rues family and the former de Rougé family is not proven.[2][1] Pierre des Rues, who was confirmed noble in 1667 with proof dating back to 1530, was at the origin of two branches.[2][1] Notable family members
