Charles d'Albert was made Duke of Luynes in 1619, and was the first of this line. Luynes nevertheless served the king skillfully by enabling him, through his intrigues against Marie de Medici and Concini, to accede to power, but gathering all the king's favors, he was hated by the people and many politicians such as Richelieu.
