The title had originally been created in 1688 as the Duke of Beaufort (second creation) but was changed to Duke of Montmorency in 1689. Before he succeeded to the title, he was known as the Count of Périgord.[6]
He was prominent at the Court of Napoleon III and was a member of the Union Artistique.[7]
