history

After an Arrêt du Conseil d'Etat by King Louis XV. , given at Paris on January 12th, 1718, a branch of the family with King William the Conqueror came to England as early as the second half of the 11th century . A well-known representative was Gilbert Folioth († 1187), Bishop of Herfort, later of London . The French line, which in Cotentin (peninsula of the Basse-Normandie region) were lords of Montfarville, Mondonville and others, died out soon after in the male line.

Only a descendant from the English line came back to France. After he was badly wounded in the Battle of Formigny during the Hundred Years War in the war against King Charles VII , he stayed in Normandy and settled in Valognes. He acquired several fiefdoms, including Des Carreaux and Fierville.

In the 16th and 17th centuries the family was found to be related to the most respected French families, such as the Dukes of Bellefonds, the Counts of Beaumont de La Roque and the Counts of Pierrepont . For example, Jean Folliot (* 1605; † 1649) married Suzanne Marquise de Pierrepont. His son Jean François (* 1632), married Gillonne Jallot de Beaumont on November 24, 1659, and served as an officer under Turenne . He and his brother were knighted (French) in 1654.

Jean's grandson Jean Jacques (October 9, 1670 - May 2, 1743), Sieur de Carreaux, was an officer and then president of the estates of Valognes. The nobility for himself and his descendants was confirmed to him by the king on December 18, 1696 with an improvement in the coat of arms. Both of his sons formed the branches Folliot de Fierville and Folliot d'Urville. King Louis XV recognized and confirmed the old nobility with a document issued on January 12, 1717 in Paris.

Of the sons of Adrian Comte Folliot de Crenneville Seigneur de Presles from the d'Urville branch (* 1706 - † July 25, 1767), the eldest Jean-Charles-Adrien continued the Urville branch, while the youngest, Franz Mederich ( * August 18, 1735; † 1802), Lord of Presle, Buisson, D'Huison and others, Comte de Crenneville, Chevalier de St. Louis in Normandy was Maréchal de Camp. He was married to Anne Pierette Reichsfreiin von Poutet (* 1746) from Metz . The daughter Françoise was married to Albert d'Anjou.

Mederich's eldest son Louis Charles emigrated to Austria at the beginning of the French Revolution and in 1844 he was granted the Hungarian indigenous status and the incolate for himself and his descendants. Folliot acquired goods in Hungary , Bohemia and Moravia . He married his niece Judith Charlotte Victoria Reichsfreiin von Poutet (born November 29, 1789, † February 11, 1887). Since she was the last of her family, a name association was approved in 1887 with the highest permission. The family called themselves from then on "Folliot de Crenneville-Poutet".
