French Marriage Contract from 1647
« on: Wednesday 26 October 22 14:44 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Who are the people getting married?  :)

The whole thing is here:

https://historical.ha.com/itm/autographs/statesmen/1647-marriage-contract-signed-by-queen-henriette-marie-wife-of-king-charles-i-of-england-and-her-son-the-future-king-charle/a/626-26703.s

One has to register to see it, but it's free.

A lot of these people were in service to either Queen Henrietta Maria, or her son Prince Charles (later Charles II), so there are a lot of references to that.

I just cannot pinpoint the bridal couple.

Given names in the document that I know of (in order of first appearance):

Charles de Lux
Marguerite Courtin
Jacques de Lux
Jacques Coignet
Elizabeth Garnier
Henrietta Maria Coignet
Louis de Lux
Francoise de Lux
Jean Garnier
Francoise de Monbaudiac

But I can't seem to get a hold of who the bride and groom are.

Yes, I know, but I am not sure that they have interpreted the document correctly. It doesn't fit with other sources, so I wanted to double-check.

Great  :) Thank you for trying to help, I have seen this marriage contract interpreted every which way, including someone's mother marrying their own son  :D, and I myself could not make head nor tails of it, so I am very grateful for this place.

Check your junk email. Mine came very quickly  :) Do you want me to upload the high-res images to mediafire and leave a link? I can take it down again soon afterwards.
