Armand Antoine Agénor de Gramont, 12th Marguerite de Rothschild.
In 1904, he married
Élisabeth de Riquet de Caraman-Chimay (said to be a model for the Duchess of Guermantes in Marcel Proust’s novel, À la recherche du temps perdu
). The marriage produced five children.
A rare film clip shows Proust (in bowler hat and grey coat) at Gramont's wedding in 1904.[1] Proust’s wedding gift to Gramont was apparently a revolver in a leather case inscribed with verses from the bride’s childhood poems.
