Louis-Emmanuel de Valois (Clermont-en-Auvergne, 28 April 1596 – Paris, 13 November 1653) was count of Auvergne and duke of Angoulême.
Louis-Emmanuel de Valois, comte d'Alais,[1] was the son of Charles de Valois, the illegitimate son of King Charles IX and Marie Touchet.
On 1 January 1624 he became Colonel-General of the Cavalry and on 17 April 1635 Maréchal de camp.
During the Fronde, he refused to obey the orders of Cardinal Mazarin and was recalled to Court in September 1650.
[2] He was probably responsible for the commissioning of the monumental stables, designed by the noted French architect François Blondel and constructed in 1648–1652 at his wife's Château de Chaumont-la-Guiche, located in Saint-Bonnet-de-Joux (Saône-et-Loire), in a region formerly known as Charolais in southern Burgundy.
