The title of Prince of Soubise was created in 1667 when the sirerie of Soubise, Charente-Maritime was raised to a principality for the cadet branch of the House of Rohan, and de Rohan raised to prince.[1] François would be succeeded by three further princes before the male line of Rohan-Soubise became extinct.
