"In 1588, at the death of her brother, Charlotte became the heir to Sedan and to the claims on Bouillon. She married on October 15, 1591 Henri de La Tour, vicomte de Turenne, maréchal de France in 1592 (1555-1623) a protestant and one of Henri IV's lieutenants in his attempts to enforce the latter's claim on the throne of France. In the marriage contract, each party named the other one as heir. Charlotte's will dated April 8, 1594 and registered in the sovereign Court of Sedan contains the same disposition (France, Archives Nationales, 273 AP 176, dossier 7). 'When Charlotte died on 8 May 1594 without children, Henri became her heir,' and thus prince of Sedan and titular duc de Bouillon Her paternal uncle, the comte de Maulévrier, and her maternal cousin Henri de Bourbon, duc de Montpensier, disputed the validity of the contract, because it violated the entail established by her father in his will. In the end, an agreement was concluded with the comte de Maulévrier on August 5, 1601 (cited by La Chesnaye-Desbois, s.v. Sedan) and with the duc de Montpensier on Oct 24, 1594, whereby the duc relinquished his claims in exchange for an annuity (Archives Nationales, 273 AP 179). The disputes apparently continued because there are letters patent of July 13, 1648 concerning the dispute over the sovereignty of the duchy between the comte de La Marck (Maulévrier), Frédéric-Maurice de La Tour and the duc d'Orléans as tutor of his daughter the duchesse de Montpensier (Archives Nationales, 272 AP 233)."
