His paternal grandparents were François de Crussol d'Uzès and Marguerite d'Apchier, Countess of Vazeilles.[3] His mother was the only daughter and heiress of Charles de Sainte-Maure, Duke of Montausier, governor of the Dauphin, and Julie d'Angennes, Marquise of Rambouillet (who was known as Princess Julie).[1]
