Antoine, Duke of Lorraine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antoine (June 4, 1489 ? June 14, 1544), known as the Good, was Duke of Lorraine from 1508 until his death in 1544. He was the son of René II, Duke of Lorraine and Philippa of Guelders. On June 26, 1515, he married Renée of Bourbon-Montpensier, daughter of Gilbert, Count of Montpensier by Clara Gonzaga, and sister of Charles III, Duke of Bourbon.

In 1538, he claimed the titles of Duke of Guelders and Count of Zutphen upon the death of Charles of Egmond, but was unable to gain possession of them.

Antoine was an adept of the Counter reformation. During his rule, he quelched several popular revolts.
