Why Buy a French Marquis Title?
A French Marquis title is a high-ranking title in the rich world of French Nobility. There is only one rank between a Marquis and the royal family – the realm of kings and the prince du sang. As such, these rare and valuable French noble titles are highly coveted and possess an air of dignified grandeur.
A genuine French Marquis title elevates you and your family to an esteemed rank of aristocracy, taking a place in history alongside the most notable French noble families and the original bearers of these titles.
It is indeed the Title of Nobility that best embodies and symbolises French absolutism, La Noblesse, and the “Ancien Regime”.
The term Marquis originates from the Old French word marchis, which meant ‘ruler of a border area’, and derived from marche, the French word for frontier.
This Noble Title distinguished the holder as a governor of frontier territories – often more strategically important to the Empire than the safer, inner provinces – and gave them a prominent role in the French Royal Court and among the feudal nobility.
As a result, these titles were often held by some of the most important political and military figures in French history, which means available Marquisates always represent an important, magnificent, and decadent piece of ancient French history.
When you purchase a French Marquisate, you become a part of this rich and fascinating history, one that stems from the finest characters of military excellence and noble service.
