Hamal (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
de Hamal

The Hamal house was a family of the Dutch-Belgian nobility, attested since the beginning of the 13th century. The main line of the family died out in the early 16th century. More important than this, however, is a branch line that split off in the 14th century and inherited the rule of Trazegnies in the 15th century , which was elevated to margraviate in 1614 ; this family still exists today. Shortly after the acquisition of Trazegnies, another line split off from this branch line, which was given the title of Imperial Count of Hamal in 1652, which, however, could not be inherited due to the lack of male descendants, but soon after the title of Comte de Hamal in the close relatives was replaced, which then found official recognition in the Netherlands in 1816; this line died out in 1941.
