Within the French nobility, the title of '''"Prince of Soubise"''' was created in 1667 when the ''sirerie'' of Soubise, Charente-Maritime was raised to a principality for the cadet branch of the House of Rohan.<ref name=Velde /> The first prince was François de Rohan (1630-1712). He was succeeded by three further princes before the male line of Rohan-Soubise became extinct upon the death of the second Duke of Rohan-Rohan, Charles (1715-87).
The Hôtel de Soubise in Paris was owned by the princes, and is now the museum of the French National Archives.
