history

The sex first named itself after its ancestral seat Longueval near Amiens and begins the probable line of trunks with Alexandre de Longueval († 1092), while the documented tribe of 1150 begins with his likely great-great-grandson Antoine Sire de Longueval . In 1444 the barony of Vaulx and in 1567 the rule of Bucquoy were acquired, both in the county of Artois near Bapaume .

As early as the 15th century, family members entered the service of the Habsburgs . Such was Adrien de Longueval, seigneur de Vaux († 1524), treasurer of the Archduke Philip the Fair , king of Castile , Leon and Granada (* 1478, † 1506). The son, Jean de Longueval, baron de Vaux (* 1510, † 1551), was chief steward of Emperor Charles V and knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece . Again his son, Maximilien de Longueval, baron de Vaux (* 1537; † 1581), was a royal Spanish general , was raised in 1580 by Charles V's son, Philip II of Spain , Count of Buquoy and fell in 1581 at the siege of Tournai .

With the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, the son of Maximilien de Longueval, Count of Buquoy, Field Marshal Charles Bonaventure de Longueval, Comte de Bucquoy , commanded the imperial troops. Even before the victory in the Battle of the White Mountain , Bucquoy received the German lords of Gratzen , Rosenberg and Sonnberg as well as the partly German, partly Czech rule of Libiegitz and the Zuckenstein Castle from Ferdinand II in 1620 from the confiscated property of the Schwanbergers . From 1620 to 1945 the Buquoy were mainly based in South Bohemia. The Gratzener Bergland was settled during her reign . After the end of the Second World War, the last owner of Gratzen Castle , Karl Georg Graf von Buquoy (1885–1952), was arrested and charged as a collaborator. Although acquitted of the charges, he remained in prison on political and ethnic grounds. He died in 1952 in the prison hospital in Brno -Mírov, his property was confiscated. His grandson Michael Graf von Buquoy (* 1941 in Prague), the current head of the family, lives in Upper Bavaria. Margarete Countess von Buquoy (* 1942) is the official family historian.

The Buquoy-Rottenhan line goes back to Georg Franz August von Buquoy , who, through his marriage to Heinrich Franz von Rottenhan's daughter in 1806, acquired extensive estates in Northern Bohemia and the Ore Mountains, including Rothenhaus , and promoted mining and glass production there.
