List of the marquisates of France

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following page contains an incomplete list (A – Z) of marquisates (French marquisate) that currently or previously existed in France or within its conquered provinces. They were created by the kings of France and Spain, the dukes of Savoy and Lorraine, the popes in "Comtat Venaissin" and other sovereign rulers in what is now the Republic of France.
From the late Middle Ages to the French Revolution, margraves were mainly appointed by deed (lettres patentes). In some cases, other official acts such as the “royal diploma” (brevet royal or décret royal) were used to create margravates. These marquisates were given as rewards to members of princely houses or distinguished nobles.
There is currently no exhaustive list of marquis (or other marquis titles not included in this list), partly because their creations were so numerous, especially during the reigns of Louis XIV and Louis XV. This list also includes "margraves of use", which in reality can only be hereditary politeness terms, or could be true, for example the so-called sublime margraves. Because of the loss of documented records through fires and wars and during the French Revolution when the manor archives were deliberately destroyed, it is difficult, if not impossible, to prove whether any particular margravate was ever elevated to a formal margraviate.
Recent archival findings have shown that some titles that were previously only used as terms of courtesy are actually margravates . So the following list includes proven margraves , insecure margraves, proven hereditary politeness terms (or at least generally believed to be proven at the time), and more feudal margraves or margraves. (Margraves are the modern day substitute for margraves. Margraves created after 1500 are margraves.) The "Type" column has an acronym or symbol that identifies the type of margrave (or margrave) on that row.

  • LP means that it is a proven margravate created by a diploma.
  • BR means that it is a proven margraviate created by a royal diploma.
  • C LP or C BR means that it is confirmed that a title older than the margrave is associated with this feudal or property family; that is, the family had a different title before acquiring the margraviate.
  • * (Asterisk) means that this is an unsafe situation.
  • TC means that it is a confirmed hereditary courtesy title used with a fiefdom, or that it is currently just a courtesy title.
  • FD means that it is a feudal margraviate or margravate.

The title holder of a margravate before the French Revolution was addressed as Marquis de X. The title remained with the feudal system , but strictly speaking, a buyer of a margraviate needed a confirmation from the margrave in order to be able to use the title - otherwise he or she could formally only as Seigneur / Dame de marquis de X (Lord / Lady of the Marquis of X) are designated. However, the policy on the matter was fairly relaxed and the number of confirmations was rather small, which did not hinder the use of the title of marquis. In most cases, before the French Revolution, the margrave's fiefdom was retained even when the fief was passed to new owners through marriage, inheritance or purchase.
With the French Revolution, feudalism was abolished and the titles were separated from the country to which they had previously belonged. After the French Revolution it was therefore no longer possible to acquire a former margraviate and thus obtain the title of marquis or any other noble title. Few marquisates in France were specifically transferable by marriage (contrary to the usual customs in Italy and Spain). This means that many titles died out when the last direct male descendant of the title holder died at the time of the French Revolution. Adoption of another male by the last legal male titleholder could in some ways be treated as a legal transfer of the title itself, but never as a transfer of nobility if the adopted man was not a noble.
