French Noble Titles for Sale

Some of the most ancient noble and feudal titles in continental Europe come from France. We can research through our books and archives an old Lordship or Barony with a proven historic existence and obtain it for you.

These titles are extremely old, many of them with an existence of 900–1200 years or more. Some date back to the times of Charlemagne, while others are more recent and were created in the time of Louis XIV in the seventeenth century. The youngest Lordships are on average three or four hundred years old, while the most ancient titles can be between 500 and 1200 years old.

These little slices of history are a delight for collectors, historians and connoisseurs. These Lordships and Baronies were once held by Feudal Lords, Warriors, Bishops, Kings, Barons and Dukes while serving some of the most important monarchs of Europe.

These titles are extremely scarce and a true historic rarity. Some people search for and collect them with the passion of an antique dealer or a collector of rare coins. Many are testimonials to the history of Europe and possess the decadent flavour of the waning Middle Ages and the prestige of an ancient time.

These Lordships and Baronies are silent witnesses of a different age. To appreciate one of these titles properly, one must have a special sensitivity and knowledge of history.

The most special and rarest titles in our portfolio are the French-German noble and feudal titles from the Rhineland region, in the north-east of France bordering southern Germany.

A Barony or Lordship from Alsace or Lorraine is like a very rare gold coin that collectors compete for. In terms of prestige, they are very high. These titles are extremely old, date back to the Middle Ages and were held by families of immense wealth and power.

Alsace and Lorraine have at different times been French and German. This mix adds to their quality, as many French titles have German names and were held by families ennobled in both Germany and France.

These medieval Lords and Barons, speaking French and German and changing allegiance according to political circumstances, represent something rare, unique and highly appreciated.

Our firm caters for connoisseurs with an eye for historical rarities. Serious and legitimate enquiries regarding these scarce and exceptional titles are welcome.
