The name of Maison de Noailles (historical) comes from the castle of Noailles in Ayen. The first member of this family to become famous was Antoine de Noailles (1504 – 1562). He was Admiral of France and ambassador to England. Members of the family held several titles. One of these titles, Duc de Noailles was created in 1663. Other younger males were often given the title of Comte de Ayen. The title of Prince de Poix was usually used by the heir to the Mouchy dukedom. Heirs to the Noailles dukedom were given the courtesy title of Duc de Ayen. The family produced four cardinals, several marshals of France and cadets. House of Noailles owns a large townhouse in Paris called the Hôtel de Noailles.

􀀃

Maison de Gramont (historical) is an old French noble family. The name derives from the castle of Gramont situated in Lower Navarre. The Gramonts became prominent during the 2nd Duc – Antoine III de Gramont, who served as the Marshal of France under Louis XIV reign, and was a loyal supporter of the Richelieu. Men, who bore the name of Gramont, were most famous for their military careers, what since the 1st Duc has become a family tradition.

Until late 17th century there was no family motto but has since been Dei gratia sum id quod sum (“The grace of God I am what I am”).

The Gramont House was one of the longest line of nobles in France, and always maintain a distinct relationship with the Royal family, since they have root from the royal family themselves. It is not strange that every noble that seek frame and power tries their best to get on good terms with The Gramont house. As an example, Aglaé de Polignac, daughter of the favorite of Queen, was married to the head of Gramont house – Antoine Louis Marie de Gramont, to secure their bond with the royal family. Fortune can be stolen, and a certain moment of privilege can vanish in an instance, that is why the deep bond with the royal family of the Gramont family are greatly envious. Proud of being Noblesse Ancienne, and mostly calculative, they do everything to secure the power and privileges till the point of ruthlessness.

Duchesse de Gramont, Béatrice, has supported politics of Chief Minister of the King Louis XV, arranger of the marriage between Dauphin Louis Auguste and Austrian Archduchess – Maria Antonia, later queen of France – Marie Antoinette. According to this, family members are known as most loyal supporters of the Queen, having her favor from the times of Ministre de Choiseul (the biggest enemy of Madame du Barry at court during Louis XV reign).

Maison de Croÿ (historical) is an noble family with branches in France, Belgium, Austria, Russia and Hungary. Founded by Jean I de Croÿ, the family became influential in French politics since his son and heir Antoine I le Grand’s lifetime. This dynastic house, which originally adopted its name from the Château de Croÿ (which is now Belgium) claimed descent from the Hungarian Prince Marc, who allegedly settled in France in 1147 and married an heiress to the barony of Croÿ. The Croÿs are known for often arranging marriages between distant relatives to keep the estates inside the family.
