Renauld (noble family)

Coat of arms of the Knights of Renauld Edlen von Kellenbach

The sex of the Knights of Renauld nobles of Kellenbach was originally from Lorraine coming later in Bavaria -based postage noble family that has gone out in the male line since the early 20th century. The aristocratic lineage begins with the Royal Polish, Duke of Lorraine court attorney and judicial officer at Wartenstein Castle, Franz Philipp Renauld , who came from Varsberg . His ancestors were Baillis of the barons of Warsberg . 1750 Franz Philipp Renauld acquired the 561 acre comprehensive reichritterschaftliche Good Kellenbach of Otto von Kellenbach. In 1765 he was raised to the status of hereditary Imperial Knighthood by Emperor Joseph II . The admission into the imperial knighthood took place in 1772. The sale of the Hofgut Kellenbach to Renauld was contested by the son-in-law Johann Christoph Schenk to the Schmidtburg of the previous owner. The process before the Reich Chamber of Commerce lasted from 1762 to 1785 and ended with the reversal of the sale to Renauld for 17,000 guilders and 20 Louis d'or . After the family moved to Bavaria, Franz Stephan Udalrich was accepted into the nobility register in the knightly class on January 29, 1810 .

The family of Renauld von Kellenbach must not be confused with the lords of Kellenbach, who were barons from the Reich .
