Maria de Medici - 1=Henry IV of France -2= Comte de Casala
Hi;
I am trying to find any information on the second marriage of Maria de Medici {1573-1642}, whose first husband was King Henry IV {de Valois} of France {1553-1610}.According to a chart a deceased cousin did a number years ago with another cousin, they somehow came across a marriage between Maria & Comte de Casala {Comte = Count - which is equivilant to an English Earl}.Maria & Comte de Casala had one son and four other children - names not known.I presume they married after the King had died in 1610.
My direct ancestor Marie Sophie de Cassala is descended, form I believe the Last Comte {Count} de Casala.Her husband was Hon. Lawrence Percival Parsons - the 2nd son of the Earl of Rosse}.Any further information on the Count {or even the Parsons line} would be of great importance, so I tie him into my ancestor.
Thanks
