Life

Rousseau was born in Nancy in 1969, the son of Claude Rousseau, an engineer and an officer of the Order of Leopold II of Belgium.[3]

He made his solemn vows as a full Knight of Justice on 11 May 2011 at the church Sainte-Élisabeth-de-Hongrie in Paris.[4] A Knight Grand Cross of Justice, he was elected to a five-year term as a member of the Sovereign Council in May 2014.[5] He was elected to a second five-year term as a member of the Sovereign Council in May 2019.[6] That term ended when Pope Francis reorganized the leadership of the Sovereign Order of Malta on 3 September 2022 and appointed him Grand Commander of the Order of Malta.[7] On 26 January 2023, he was elected to a six-year term in that office.[8]

Rousseau is curator of the Magistral Libraries and Archives[9] and Vice-President of the (French) Académie historique de l'Ordre de Malte.[10] Dominique, Prince de La Rochefoucauld-Montbel, who was President of the French Association and Grand Hospitalier of the Order of Malta is now the President of the Académie.

Rousseau is President of the Historical Commission for the beatification of Empress Zita of Austria.[11]
