Charpentier (noble family)
Charpentier , Russian Шарпантье , is the name of a noble family that spread to Sweden , Saxony , Finland , Russia and Prussia .
There is no kinship with the 1763 ennobled Count Charpentier Hennery , not even the French composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier .
history
The family has its origins in Normandy , from where Toussaint von Charpentier entered Swedish military service and was raised to the Swedish nobility as a colonel in 1663 and introduced to the noble class in the knight's house in 1668 (No. 765). Johann von Charpentier (1738–1805) was the Saxon mining captain and in 1784 he was raised to the imperial nobility . In 1818 the family was introduced to the nobility class (No. 64) at the Finnish knight house .
