Henri Nicolas, Marquis de Grandpré

Henri Nicolas de Joyeuse, Marquis de Grandpré (3rd April 1625-present) was a Grandelumièrian nobleman and heir to the illustrious Maison de Joyeuse. Nicolas was born to the Grand Master of the Emperor's Household, Anne II Robèrt de Joyeuse and Jeanne Clementine de Blois. He was wed to Charlotte Françoise de Lévis, who was the twin of Charles François, Duc de Montcontour. When he was introduced to court in 1646 after his formal education, he set out to join the military, gaining the rank Sergeant-Major. Then, he easily joined and acquired the role of "Gentleman of the Chamber", seeing how is father was the Grand Master. Not before long, his father become the Governor of Languedoc, and appointed Nicolas as his Lieutenant-Governor. He was also the father of twin girls and one son. 
During his time in school, he would meet the young Prince, Louis-Maurice de La Trémoille, Marquis d'Espinay and would become very, very close with him. It was clear how they had liked each other and they both refused to believe it until the Comte de Bassy's ball. From then on out, they would have small affairs that would course over a decade until the Marquis left to be with his father, leaving Nicolas heartbroken. His stress and heartbreak would then be relieved after the Head Servant at the Château de Joyeuse, Jules Frazier. He would then have a couple of affairs with Frazier, until he broke it off explaining how he missed the Marquis too much. He would then focus mainly on building his reputation at court and assisting in the management of Languedoc. When the Marquis returned, Nicolas was way over him, and would avoid the Marquis at all costs.. (to be continued..)
In 1655 was the year of terror as Nicolas so put it. Many unnecessary events took place during the summer of that year, which slightly but a halt with his self esteem until the night after the coronation, where Nicolas was awarded with 15,000₶ and a silver neckless of likeness from His Majesty, the Emperor himself. This would soon boost his morality and would go on to pretty much run the Governorship of Languedoc in his father's absence and would note all of the pro's and con's he had each day, memorizing what to do and not to do. He would go on to become one of the leading figures in the south of France and would be known across Languedoc as "Le Lieutenant" in his capacity as the Lieutenant-Governor.
