The barony of Mercoeur was given by François I of France to Renée de Bourbon-Montpensier and her husband Antoine, duc de Lorraine in 1529 (letters patent registered 6 Sep 1533). It was raised to a principality for Nicolas, second son of that marriage, by letters patent of June 1563, registered 21 Sep 1563 (AN, X/1A/8625, fol. 68v-69v, or K/617, no 25/9 or no 25/10; cited in Levantal, p. 306 and p. 758). It was later raised to a duchy peerage, by letters of Dec 1569, registered in 1576, with remainder to heirs male and female. It passed by marriage to César de Bourbon-Vendôme, legitimated son of Henri IV, to the 6th duc de Mercoeur, Louis-Joseph de Bourbon-Vendôme (d. 1712). In 1719, the heirs of the last duc de Mercoeur sold the principality to Léon de Madaillan de Lesparre, comte de Lassay on 15 March 1719 (strictly speaking it was sold to John Law (Jean Legant de Legare) for 810,000 livres but he immediately declared having acted on behalf of the comte de Lassay), and the title was confirmed to him by letters of May 1719 registered 16 June 1719. However, in november 1719 Louis-Armand de Bourbon, prince de Conti exercised the right of "retrait lignager" which gave kinsmen the right to purchase the main family estates out of an inheritance before it was sold outside of the family. A lawsuit followed, lost by the comte de Lassay (21 June 1720). In July 1723, Mercoeur was again raised to a duchy-peerage. Louis-Armand's son sold Mercoeur to the king on 9 Oct 1770 (Levantal 556-8).

The widow Mary Stokes mentioned as daughter in law in the South Carolina newspaper. The Marriage of Mary and son of John Law having taken place in the Caribbean.
