Henri I d'Orléans, duc de Longueville

Henry I of Orléans-Longueville (1568 – April 8, 1595) was a French aristocrat, military leader and Grand Chamberlain of France between 1589 and 1595.

Henry was the eldest son of Léonor d'Orléans, duc de Longueville (1540–1573)[1] and Marie de Bourbon, duchess of Estouteville and countess of Saint-Pol (1539–1601).

[1] Henry was governor of Picardie and defeated the forces of the Catholic League under Charles, Duke of Aumale at Senlis in May 1589.

[4] When Henry III was assassinated later that year, Longueville pledged loyalty to his successor Henry IV of France and received command over the forces in Picardy[5] and became Grand Chamberlain of France.

[7] He was the loose inspiration behind the character of Longueville in William Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost.
