Princes of Craon
The princely title of Prince of Craon was a title used by the Beauvau family using their status as Prince of the Holy Roman Empire which was gained in 1722 which was later fully recognised by Louis XV of France in 1755 and was inherited by male offspring. It became extinct in 1982 upon the death of Prince Marc de Beauvau-Craon without a male heir.
The Beauvau-Craon family seat was the Château d'Haroué, built between 1720 and 1732 by the architect Germain Boffrand for the first Prince Marc de Beauvau-Craon.[1]
