Now you can become a part of the great and noble history of Europe’s aristocracy by purchasing a genuine French or Italian Marquisate.

The History Of The Marquis Title Of Nobility

The Noble Title of Marquis was a high-ranking title granted to noblemen throughout Europe.

The title we know today was derived from the old French term for ‘ruler of a border area’, marchis – this came from the French word marche, meaning ‘frontier’, which itself was descended from the Latin for the same word, marca.

The origins of this nobility title around the time of the Holy Roman Empire help to explain why this was a rank that was typically conferred on individuals governing the more vulnerable frontier territories under Dukes and Counts who were directly responsible to the Emperor. As such, it is the second most senior rank in the hierarchy of aristocratic titles.

As noble titles, Marquisates were most commonly granted by monarchs and senior royal family members in France and Italy, where the owners of Marquis titles throughout these countries would typically enjoy a very grandiose way of life. Their luxurious standard of living and lavish Palaces and Castles ensured they were very prominent figures in the provinces.

As well as enjoying all the trappings their elite status afforded them, many also played leading roles in charitable endeavours, as well as helping to promote the advancement of the arts, particularly poetry and the theatre.
