Brancas house

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Brancas house is a noble family in France, descended from the Neapolitan house Brancaccio, who settled in France in the 14th century at the time of King Charles VII .

In the 16th century, the family split into two lines: the older one was named Brancas-Forcalquier and named Marquis de Céreste and died out in 1802; the younger is that of the Dukes of Villars , who died out in the male line in 1852 and in the female line in 1859.

Known family members

The most famous members of the House of Brancas are:

Taxe Brancas

The taxe Brancas is known as aliénation de droit de souveraineté (alienation of a right of sovereignty), which earned the family an annual pension of 20,000 livres , which the Brancas raised from the Jews of Metz from 1715 to 1791, who plunged this community into poverty and over-indebtedness and partly forced to leave the city. The application for the abolition of the Brancas tax was entered for the first time in 1789 in the complaint book of the Metz Jews submitted to the National Assembly.
