Raimond de Comminge, Sieur de Sobole, and his brother, noblemen of Gascony. Antoine, Seigneur d'Arquien, was Governor of Calais, Sancerre, etc. Jean Henri, Duc de Deux-Ponts, who married Catherine de Rohan, was descended from a branch of the royal house of Bavaria. Christophe de Harlai, Comte de Beaumont, Governor of Orleans. He died in 1615. L'Etoile, vol. iii. p. 94.
Baring had been dislodged, Alten put to the sword. Many flags had been lost, one from Alten's division, and one from the battalion of Lunenburg, carried by a prince of the house of Deux-Ponts. The Scotch Grays no longer existed; Ponsonby's great dragoons had been hacked to pieces.
It does not appear that her brother, whose lunatic condition hardly permitted him to assure her the dowry which had been the price of renunciation in the case of her three elder sisters, had obtained that renunciation from her.

In the course of the summer she was made highly indignant by finding that news from the court, with malicious comments, were sent from Paris across the frontier to be printed at Deux-Ponts or Düsseldorf, and then circulated in Paris and in Vienna; and it was difficult to avoid connecting these libels with those who in the palace itself were manifestly building hopes on the diminution of her influence and the disparagement of her character.
"Well, well! two-three hundred ducats; will that do?" "Two hundred; the Prince de Deux-Ponts did not spend more." He began to write, and gave me his word that everything should be in readiness.
