Charles de Venasque-Ferriol was a French genealogist and courtier in Monaco during the seventeenth century.
He was the secretary of Honoré II, Prince of Monaco and the author of several books, one of which falsely suggested the House of Grimaldi was related to Charles Martel.
He was in the Monegasque retinue when Honoré II, Prince of Monaco visited the French Court from the autumn of 1642 to the Spring of 1643.
[1] The book claims that the Grimaldis descend from the brother of Charles Martel (and thus the great-granduncle of Charlemagne).
[4] Venasque-Ferriol composed a ballet for the Monegasque Court entitled Les entretiens de Diane et d’Apollon.
