Talk:Duke of Estouteville

Heirs after 1707
The article currently says "Estouteville was inherited by the last duke's sister, Marie d'Orleans-Longueville, Duchess de Nemours (1625–1707) whose closest relatives were remote cousins descended through daughters of the Longueville. After her death Estouteville was inherited, because of the principle of proximity of blood, by the family of Goyon de Matignon, who were descended from Eléonore, youngest daughter of Léonor de Longueville and Marie d'Estouteville. Primogeniture heir would have been the Duchess of Retz, but she was one step further genealogically even if she descended from Eleonore's older sister." I don't think this is correct: in 1707 the heirs of Antoinette, marquise de Belle-Isle (1572–1618) and Eléonore, comtesse de Thorigny (1573–1639) were both great-granddaughters and so related in the same degree to the last Duchess of Estouteville.
