CHARLES DE LORRAINE (1571-1640), son of Henry I. and fourth Duke of Guise, was succeeded by his second son, HENRI II. DE LORRAINE, fifth Duke of Guise, who was born April 4, 1614. Henri had been trained for the Church, and was Archbishop of Rheims when the death of his elder brother (1639) caused him to abandon ecclesiastical life. He was brilliant, but fickle in his attachments, and noted for many amours. He joined the league of the Count of Soissons against Richelieu (1641), and took refuge in Brussels, returning only after the death of Richelieu and Louis XIII. He went to Naples during the revolt of Masaniello, hoping to conquer a kingdom, but was made a prisoner by the Spaniards (1648). He was set at liberty in 1652, and joined the opponents of Mazarin, but soon betrayed them, and after numerous vicissitudes returned to Paris, was made Grand Chamberlain, and directed the fetes of Louis XIV. }le died in 1664. HisMemoires (2 vols., 1669) were really written by his secretary, Saint-Yon, and by Count Raymond of Modena. Henri II. was succeeded by his nephew, Louis JOSEPH, Duke of Guise, Joyeuse, and Angouleme. With the son
of the latter, FRANCOIS JOSEPH, who died in 1675, the direct line of the dukes of Guise of the House of Lorraine became extinct. The' family posses sions passed to the House of Conde, the next of kin.
