  1. ^ The Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition relates that in 1645 the title of this duchy was transferred to the estate of Choisy-aux-Loges in Gâtinais, and was borne later by the family of Pardaillan de Gondrin, heirs to the house of Saint-Lary-Bellegarde. When Seurre passed into the possession of the Princes of Condé they in the same way acquired the title of dukes of Bellegarde.
