Harambure and La Poeze d'Harambure

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harambure family coat of arms

Harambure is the name of an old French noble family whose head of the family bears the title of margrave and the younger members, according to French tradition, put the title count in front of their first name. The ancient Basque name Harambure is now carried by the oldest branch of the La Poëze family. In Austria the family is represented by the descendants of Count Romée de la Poëze d'Harambure and Princess Anita von Hohenberg.

Origin and Battle of Beaza

The Harambure family was one of the 27 "Casas Solares". His nobility is considered "immemorial". The origin of the Harambure or Aramburu family can be found in Gaviria in Guipuzcoa or Basque Country . This Basque province was part of the Kingdom of Navarre , with the exception of 1076 to 1123 . After the battle of Las Novas de Tolosa in 1212, the kings of Aragon , Castile and Navarre united against the Moors . Diego Lopez de Haro participated with 60,000 men and about 200 knights. Among them was a representative of the family who also took part in the Battle of Baeza on November 30, 1227. According to the chronicle, a wonderful cross appeared in the sky during this battle, which has since been carried as a symbol of all those involved in their family crest (Aspa or St. Andrew's cross ).

Navarre

With three other knights, this knight was sent to Lantabat in what is now the French part of the Basque Country. His mission was to defend and manage a long valley not far from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port , which served as the main route for pilgrims to Santiago de Compostela . The family tree of today's family members is completely proven up to 1227. His descendants were all owners of the House of Aramburua with noble privileges, as well as members of the Basque Parliament (Cortes de Pampelune, later Parlement of Navarre in Pau ). Due to the proximity to Saint Jean Pied de Port as a fortress and capital, family members were entrusted with various public functions. Alphonso de Aramburu (1326-1403) should be mentioned here in particular, who left numerous files to the city as a Jurat.

The Kingdom of Navarre and France

Other personalities of this family were: Jean d'Aramburua (1512), who, despite the major unrest of the time, served the King of Navarre faithfully. Bernart de Aramburua (1514), who reorganized the administration of the Kingdom of Navarre, led the Cortes of the region and controlled the taxes of the Ultra Puertos. Gratian d'Aramburua (1500–1567), commander of the four Bayonne galleons and founder of the first family foundation in Lantabat. Bertrand d'Harambure (1500–1561), who married Florence de Belzunce and from whom all current family members are descended. He took part in all of King Francis I's wars and became governor of the fortress Hâ and the province of Soule . He was also the family's first Huguenot .

On the side of the Huguenots

His son Jean d'Harambure the "one-eyed / Le Borgne" (1553-1630) fought all his life on the side of his friend Heinrich III. of Navarre, later Henry IV of France. He remained loyal to his religion as a Huguenot, but was nevertheless appointed governor of Vendôme and Aigues-Mortes , and general of the royal cavalry. He led two Harambure regiments of his own and at the end of his life fought together with the Count of Mansfeld in Holland.

All today's bearers of the name come from his marriage to Marie de Segondat (the later Montesquieu family). His sons Jean d'Harambure (1599–1639) and Henri d'Harambure (1600–1669) succeeded their father as masters of Romefort Castle. Nevertheless, because of their religious affiliation, the family remained excluded from many political and administrative offices.

Return to Catholicism

Paul d'Harambure (1683–1746) was the first to have his children baptized Catholics again. His eldest son was governor of Poitiers and the first Margrave Harambure. His brother Charles d'Harambure (1725–1785) fought for the Compagnie des Indes in Pondicherry , René Charles d'Harambure financed d'Auxiron, the inventor of a steam engine for ships. The youngest brother, Louis Francois Alexandre d'Harambure (1742-1828), was a representative of the nobility as a member of parliament during the revolution , later became general and governor of Neuf Brissach until he was reported to a revolutionary court. His son (1772–1793) died at the Battle of Bertsheim in the Armée des Emigrés, which fought against the new republic.

The La Poëze d'Harambure family

As a condition for René Louis Graf de La Poëze to get permission to marry the last descendant of the family, he had to undertake to continue to use the Harambure name. This was legally carried out by Royal Ordinance of July 29, 1817. Today the name Harambure is borne by the descendants of this marriage. After the last descendants of the oldest branch of the La Poëze family died as papal Zouaves without children or marriage, the younger line La Poëze d´Harambure took over the place of the oldest branch. The majority of the family is still based in France today. Through the family association La Poëze, all existing lines meet regularly. It is also this family association that maintains the historical documents in the archives of the Departements de Touraine and Val d'Oise. The story of the Harambure family was the reason for the book "Au plaisir de se battre / The joy of fighting", the story of the ancient La Poeze family for the book "Au plaisir de durer / The joy of surviving" Part of the family is " Grande of Spain ".

The family in Austria

This family is represented in Austria by Count Romée de La Poëze d'Harambure. On July 25, 1978, he married Princess Anna von Hohenberg and revitalized Artstetten Castle in Lower Austria . There he founded a museum about the life and work of the Austrian heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Este and the Duchess of Hohenberg. Then he devoted himself to the family's real estate fund. From this marriage there were four children who form the Austrian branch of the family.

Governors, Regiments, and Titles

Several members of the family were governors. Bertrand de Aramburu (1500–1561) was governor of the province of Soule, his son Jean d´ Harambure (1553–1630) governor of Vendôme and later of Aigues Mortes, the first margrave was governor of Poitiers (1725–1785), his younger brother Général Louis François d´ Harambure (1742–1828) representative of the Touraine nobility and governor of Neuf Brissac.

The family owned two cavalry regiments under their name: the first in 1624 under the command of Jean d´ Harambure as the commander of over 2,000 "chevaux légers" and in 1638 a regiment under the leadership of his son, which was deployed in Italy and Lorraine.

The title of margrave is continued by the eldest of the oldest family branch. As usual in France, the title of count is only to be worn with the first name. They are subject to the rules of the so-called courtesy titles, a French peculiarity that were also officially used by the government at the court at the “Honors de la Cour” and are recognized and used as such in today's aristocratic society ANF.
