Fernand, Duke of Rohan

He was awarded as a Commander of the Legion of Honour, Knight of Saint-Louis and of the Military Merit Order of Bavaria.

Taken prisoner on the Elbe in 1814, he was released, joined the French army and was promoted to Squadron leader.

Having joined the Restoration in the spring of 1814, he was made a Staff colonel and Knight of the Order of Saint Louis.

Louis-François, who had succeeded their father as Duke of Rohan in 1816, died without issue in 1833, therefore, Fernand succeeded as the 9th Duke of Rohan and inherited the family seat, the Château de Josselin, which had been damaged during the Revolution but restored by his elder brother in 1822 upon the insistence of Caroline, Duchess of Berry.

[6] Before her death in 1844, they were the parents of seven children:[7] The Duke died at the Château de Reuil-en-Brie on 20 September 1869,[7] and was succeeded by his eldest son, Charles.
