- Charles Louis Bretagne de La Trémoille (15 March 1683 – 9 October 1719), 6th duke of Thouars, was the son of Charles Belgique Hollande de La Trémoille and Madeleine de Créquy, daughter and heiress of Charles III de Créquy. He became duke of Thouars upon his father's death in 1709.
- He was also count of Laval and Montfort and inherited the ancient French claim to the Kingdom of Naples.
- The Neapolitan claim gave the family the rank of princes étrangers at the French court.
