Family coat of arms

La Tour du Pin is a French noble family .

history

It is believed to have descended from the Vice Counts of Vienne in the 9th and 10th centuries. In 1003, the family is referred to as the lords of La Tour for the first time in relation to La Tour between Lyon , Chambéry and Grenoble , today's La Tour-du-Pin .

They gained importance through the inheritance of the Dauphiné , who ruled them for three generations as Dauphin of Viennois , Count of Albon and Grenoble , and as Count of Gap and Embrun . The last Dauphin, Humbert II , appointed the Crown Prince and later King Charles V of France as his heir in 1349 - for a territory that actually belonged to the Roman Empire of the German nation. The Dauphiné was thus detached from the Reich Association, the Crown Prince was given the title of “Dauphin von Viennois”, which soon became the general name of the heir to the throne as “Dauphin”.

While the line of the Dauphins de Viennois died out with Humbert II in 1355, a younger line of the family still exists today.

The namesake include Jean-Frédéric de La Tour du Pin Gouvernet (1727–1794), Frédéric-Séraphin de La Tour du Pin Gouvernet and Philippe de la Tour du Pin de La Charce .
