History

The title was created in September 1655 on the locality of Jumilhac-le-Grand, capital of the canton of the district of Nontron. It was created in favor of François Chapelle (d. 1675), Knight, Lord of Jumilhac. His descendants bore the title of Duke of Richelieu from 1822 to 1952.^[1] The elder branch having died out, the title of marquis passed to a cadet branch, which died out in the male line shortly after.^[1]
