Nesle (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The House of Nesle was a French noble family from the 12th to 14th centuries. It bears its name after the Nesle rule in Picardy . Already through the first documented marriage of the family (two generations later) it came into the possession of the County of Soissons and independently of that into the possession of the Burgraviate of Bruges . After a division in the following generation, both lines died out in the middle of the 14th century.

The Nesle house is to be distinguished from the Clermont house , which is also known as the Clermont-Nesle house, was later owned by the Nesle lordship and is responsible for the buildings in Paris that are associated with this name ( Hôtel de Nesle and Tour de Nesle )
