SCEAUX (Hauts-de-Seine).

It is necessary that you wait until it pleases His Majesty to make a new promotion to Chevalier de St Louis. L. A. de Bourbon - In 1690, the Domaine de SCEAUX was sold to Louis auguste de BOURBON, Duc du Maine, Duc d'Aumale, prince Souverain de Dombes, Comte d'Eu (St-Germain-en-Laye 1670-Sceaux 1736), legitimate son of King Louis XIV and Madame de MONTESPAN.
