Stanislas de Castellane (15 October 1875 - 4 July 1959) was a French politician, representing Cantal in parliament several times between 1902 and 1940.
He was born in Juigné-sur-Sarthe, the youngest son of Antoine de Castellane and a member of the House of Castellane.[1] His elder brother was Boni de Castellane.
He studied at the Paris Institute of Political Studies and entered politics at a young age, being elected to the Chamber of Deputies as a representative of Cantal in 1902, when he was 27. He lost his seat in 1906, was reelected in 1919 and again in 1928.[2] Between 1930 and 1932 he was vice-president of the Chamber. In 1938 he was elected senator for Cantal. Additionally, in 1905 he was elected mayor of Marcenat, holding the title until 1940.[3]
On 10 July 1940, he voted in favour of handing over full powers to Marshal Pétain.[4] Because of this, after the Liberation, he was declared ineligible and could not seek another parliamentary mandate.
In 1901 he married Natalia Terry y Sanchez (1877-1962), the sister of architect Emilio Terry, and had two sons: Henri (1903-1937) and François (1908-1988).[5]
After the war he withdrew from public life and died on 4 July 1959 in Paris, age 84.
