Melville Amadeus Henry Douglas Heddle de la Caillemotte de Massue de Ruvigny [1] (26 April 1868 ? 6 October 1921) was a British genealogist and author who was twice president of the Legitimist Jacobite League of Great Britain and Ireland . He styled himself the Marquis of Ruvigny and Raineval. [2]

Biography [ edit ]

The Marquise de Ruvigny

Massue was descended from a sister of Henri de Massue de Ruvigny , a Huguenot aristocrat who emigrated to England in 1688 and became a prominent supporter of William of Orange . [3] He was born in London to Colonel Charles Henry Theodore Bruce de Ruvignes and Margaret Melville Moodie, the daughter of a Scottish laird. [4] He succeeded his father as 9th Marquis of Ruvigny and 15th Marquis of Raineval in 1883, [1] though his right to these titles was disputed by the authors of The Complete Peerage . [5] In 1893, he married Rose Amalia Gaminara, with whom he had three children. [4]

Massue was an early member of the Jacobite Order of the White Rose , though he found the sentimental nature of the order restrictive. [6] In 1891, he co-founded the Legitimist Jacobite League with Herbert Vivian and Ruaraidh Erskine as a more political and radical Jacobite society. [7] He served as president from 1893?94 and again from 1897?99. [2] The league was one of the principal organizations driving the Neo-Jacobite Revival of the 1890s. In 1898, he was made a knight of the Order of Charles III by the Duke of Madrid , the Carlist claimant to the throne of Spain.

Massue was a prolific author of genealogical works and a committed member of the Roman Catholic Church, which he joined in 1902. [8] He died in a London nursing home and was succeeded by his second son, Charles, "Comte de la Caillemotte", his first son having died unexpectedly shortly before the First World War . [9]
