Historical background
ALSACE - BISHOPRIC OF STRASBOURG - LOUIS-CONSTANTIN DE ROHAN GUÉMÉNÉE
(1756-1779)
Louis-Constantin de Rohan (1697-1779) was first a Knight of Malta and captain of a ship before taking orders. He was first canon of Strasbourg before becoming co-adjutor of his uncle Armand Gaston de Rohan (1674-1749) from 1730. He became chaplain to the king in 1748 and succeeded his cousin, Armand, prince de Rohan Soubise (1749-1756), as bishop of Strasbourg. He was made cardinal in 1761. His nephew Louis, Prince of Rohan, (1734-1803) succeeded him in 1779. The latter is best known for his unfortunate participation in the so-called "queen's necklace" affair..
