Coat of Arms of the de Rougé family

The de Rougé family whose former name was des Rues is a family of the French nobility from Anjou, dating back to the 14th century.[2]

the proven filiation of the de Rougé family is established with Huet des Rues, married in 1375 with Jeanne d'Erbrée[2] or with Jean II des Rues, married in 1421 with Jeanne d'Orvaux.[3]

The des Rues family used the name de Rougé at the beginning of the 16th century after that the older family of the same name de Rougé (known since 1045) became extinct.[2][3]

The link between the des Rues family and the former de Rougé family is not proven.[2][3]
