Because the question came up in email: How are these members of the Rohan family related?
1. The Rohan whose thugs beat up Voltaire, leading to one of Voltaire's stints in the Bastille and his exile to England.
2. The Rohan who was duped in Marie Antoinette's affair of the necklace.
3. The Rohan whose wife had an affair with Bonnie Prince Charlie.
4. The Rohan who had an affair with Bonnie Prince Charlie's illegitimate daughter.
Okay, #3 was not asked in email, but she was the first Rohan(-by-marriage) I learned about, so I had to include her. I did look up how they were all related toward the beginning of salon, because I had the same question, but I've since forgotten, so here goes again.
...
Believe it or not, 2-4 are brothers! 1 is a from a different branch entirely, and I hope you appreciate all the copy-pasting and forgive any errors. ;)
