Charles Ier (1556-1605), marquis then Tweed duke
Charles II (1586-1657), Tweed duke

of the ecclésiatiques ones:

---- There is an ambiguity in the classification of the dukes of Lorraine: at the 16th century, the Lorraine historiographers, wanting to establish the legitimacy of the dukes of Lorrraine and Own way and to attach them directly to the Carolingians, incluèrent in the list of the dukes the Carolingian Charles († 991), duke of Low-Lotharingie. Low Lotharingie is a stronghold different from Lorraine, resulting High-Lotharingie, there is thus no continuity between Charles Ier and the following. However the classification of the dukes includes this first Charles.
