Marquis Boniface Antoine de Castellane (12 May 1844 – 10 December 1917) was a French aristocrat, most notable as deputy for Cantal and as father of Boni de Castellane.

Early life

Antoine was born on 12 May 1844 in Paris. He was the son of marquis Henri Charles Louis Boniface de Castellane (1814–1847), deputy for Cantal, and his wife Pauline de Talleyrand-Périgord (1820–1890), and was a member of the House of Castellane. His older sister, Marie de Castellane, was married to Prince Antoine Radziwiłł, a grandson of Prince Antoni Radziwiłł and Princess Louise of Prussia.[1]

His paternal grandfather was Boniface de Castellane, marshal de Castellane.[2] Her maternal grandparents were Edmond de Talleyrand-Périgord, the 2nd Duke of Dino and Princess Dorothea of Courland, the Duchess of Dino.[3]

Career

Antoine studied at the minor seminary of La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin, taught by Mgr Félix Dupanloup, bishop of Orléans.[4]

He served in the Franco-Prussian War under marshal Bazaine and was imprisoned with him in Metz whilst prince Frederick-Charles of Prussia (one of his cousins by marriage) celebrated the establishment of the German Empire at the Château de Rochecotte, which belonged to Boniface's mother.
