Notes:

Archbishop Honor?-Fran?ois survived his nephew, Anthony, and died in 1748. With him ended the branch of Monaco. Regardless of the succession rule and with the approval of the king of France, Jacques de Goyon Matignon succeeded his father-in-law and became Jacques I Grimaldi, taking the name and arms of the ancient Mediterranean family. Clearly, the independence of Monaco had become no more than a fa?ade. Representatives of the House of Grimaldi protested in spite of the inherent legal and political difficulties. They could not however affect the status quo. As to Jacques, many in Monaco and Versailles showed little respect for his cavalier attempt at acquiring rank and privileges through a name change. More Matignon than Grimaldi, he chose to live in Paris, and his ambitions remained largely unfulfilled.
