Monsieur R
( ; ; pl. ; ; 1512, from Middle French , literally "my lord") is an honorific title that was used to refer to or address the eldest living brother of the king in the French royal court.

It was always used for referring to the prince, not as a Style. The Kings' brothers were addressed as Monseigneur or Royal Highness.

In 1576, Monsieur pressured his brother King Henry III of France into signing the Edict of Beaulieu and effectively ending the Fifth Religious War of France. The resulting peace became popularly kn ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
