The Parthon de Von family is a Belgian noble family of French origin.[1],[2] Its members rose to prominent positions in administration, justice, and diplomacy.[3]

The family is documented since 1575 in the duchy of Châteauroux, where it acquired the land of Von in 1776.[4],[5] It later emigrated to Belgium following the July Revolution.[6]

An hereditary title of Knight was conceded to the family by King Leopold I in 1856.[7] The current holder is François (b. 1964) and heir apparent Gautier Parthon de Von (b. 1996).[8]

The family Parthon de Von settled in Belgium in the early 19th century with the Knight Édouard Parthon de Von, born in Nantes on April 1st, 1788. Appointed consul of France in Ostend circa 1815, attaché to the military household of the King of France, made Knight of the French Legion of Honour in 1827, he was appointed consul of France in Antwerp in 1829.[20]

After the July Revolution in 1830, he refused to serve the new liberal government and resigned as consul of France.[6] He settled near Anvers at the Château de Middelheim and he devoted himself to horticulture and writing. He published a book of fables in 1843.[6] The Belgian horticulturist Charles Morren dedicated to him the Orchiaceae Parthoni.

  • Édouard Parthon de Von (1814-1897), married to Countess Amélie de Coopmans-Yoldi in 1849, daughter of Christian XII's chamberlain, and of Pépita de Yoldi, Countess of Castille.[21]
  • Henri Parthon de Von (1819-1892), no posterity.
  • Jeanne Parthon de Von (1822-1911), married to the Baron Charles de Vivario de Ramezée and of the Holy Roman Empire.

The État présent de la noblesse belge (1999) gives the following filiation:[8]

Nobility

An exchange dated July 19th, 1843 between the French government, through its Minister of Foreign Affairs François Guizot, and the Belgian ambassador to France, the Prince of Ligne, allowed the family to obtain a confirmation and concession of nobility on January 2nd, 1845 by letters patent of Leopold I.[26]

Two titles of knights, transmissible by order of masculine primogeniture, were granted by royal decrees dated September 26nd, 1856[27] in favor of Édouard (1814-1897) and Henri Parthon de Von (1819-1892).[28] The latter died without posterity, therefore one title subsists today in favor of the elder branch.[8]
