House of Rougé

The Rougé family is a family of the French nobility from Anjou known since 1045 and that has a traced proven lineage since the year 1375.

Most historians believe that the exiting Rougé family from Anjou comes from the medieval Rougé family known since 1045, ruling over the lordship of Rougé in Brittany, a line of the princes of Brittany, but the link between the des Rues family and the former de Rougé family is not yet clearly proven, even though highly possible.

Many members of this family have distinguished themselves as generals, churchmen, diplomats, and academics.
