Charles-François Philippe de Rohan

Charles-François Philippe de Rohan (8th May 1739 - 6th July 1763) was a Grandelumièrian nobleman who succeeded Louis Hercules de Rohan as the patriarch of Rohan with the title Duc de Rohan.
Humble, demonstrative, and accomplished, Philippe de Rohan was a well-cultured nobleman and the embodiment of sophistication. He was the kind of man whom everyone liked, whom everyone found most approachable of all the extensive Rohan brothers born to the war-hero Louis-Maximilien Frédéric de Rohan and the captivating Marie-Pauline Raphaëlle de Rochechouart de Mortemart. He inherited more traits attributed to a Mortemart which was an asset to him at court. Well-graced in all cultured accomplishments, Philippe lived up to what was expected of a Prince of House Rohan.
Born in 1739 at Le château d'Argenteuil, Charles-François Philippe de Rohan never expected to become Duc de Rohan until Louis Hercules de Rohan passed away unexpectedly from influenza in 1758. He married Isabelle Denise-Genevieve de Rohan and had an unconventionally successful marriage, at a time when marriage was more like a few polished moves on a chessboard rather than anything more emotional.
In 1763, Philippe de Rohan was struck with influenza, the same illness that killed his predecessor brother. He died on 6th July 1763 at Le Château Deuil-La-Barre. He was 24. His successor was Melchior René Maximilien de Rohan.
