The Parthon de Von family is a French and Belgian family of Scottish origins, first mentioned in 1421, with a documented ancestry dating back to 1575 and ennobled by King Leopold I.[9]

It notably produced a captain in the Scottish Army, three mayors of Châteauroux, lawyers, counselors and parliamentarians in France, a burgomaster and two diplomats in Belgium, etc.

Origin

Anglo-Scottish origins (before 1421)

The Partons gave their name to two lordships on each two banks of the Gulf of Solway and the other on the British coast.[10] One is watered by Parton Bay in the county of Cumbria in England, the other by the River Dee in the county of Kirkcudbright in Scotland.[11]

Near Parton Bay, the Lake District National Park, County of Cumbria, England.

In the context of the Auld Alliance, between 5,000 and 6,000 Scots landed in La Rochelle in 1421 to lend a hand to the French during the Hundred Years' War.[12] According to genealogists and medievalists Tausserat, de Chevilly and Count Paul-Alexandre du Chastel de La Howarderie, it was with this trip that the Partons settled in Berry, France.[13]

Parton is situated on the banks of the River Dee, County of Kirkcudbright, Scotland.

Development in Châteauroux (1421-1830)

Following the handing over of the city of Aubigny by Charles VII to the Scottish army chief John Stewart of Darnley, the Partons settled in Châteauroux. Its members held administrative and judicial functions there between the sixteenth century and the eighteenth century. In 1720, Michel Parthon, one of the leaders of the bourgeois militia of Châteauroux, bought the land from Von to Saint-Maur.[14] It returned to Sulpice Parthon, who belonged to the administration of this city in 1776, and gave its name to the rue de Von and the chemin du Moulin de Von in Saint-Maur.[15]

Château de Von, historical Lordship and seat of the family in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Establishment in Belgium (since 1830)

Château de Middelheim, seat of the family in the 19th century, today an open air museum.

After the July Revolution that made Louis-Philippe come to power in France, the Knight Parthon de Von (1788–1877) moved to Belgium, disinclined to serve the new government as vice-consul of France.[16] In the château de Middelheim he wrote the Fables (1843). Achieved horticulturist, he helped Louis van Houtte collect orchids in Brazil for King Leopold I and the Royal Greenhouses. Charles Morren dedicated the malaxis orchidaceae parthoni. The Knight Parthon de Von invented multiple parents, including the first foldable baby-carrier, etc.

The family settled in Anvers, Soignies, Tournai and Brussels. It notably produced two diplomats, in particular on behalf of Spain and Argentina, a burgomaster of Horrues in 1890, a prisoner of war from 1939 during World War II, etc.

Charles Morren dedicated to her the malaxis Parthoni, a species of orchids native to Central and South America.

Notes

  1. ^ It is a kind of additional guarantee. Based on the documents presented, the ancien régime nobility of a person is confirmed, but in the situation where the authority nevertheless raises certain questions about the quality of previous nobility, it adds that, insofar as necessary, the nobility is also conceded, for the case it would appear later that the confirmation was based on insufficiently reliable data. This has been encountered on several occasions. Indeed a concession of nobility made under the old regime, sometimes lent the flank to doubts. If it had been conceded by the Holy Roman Empire, had it or not been confirmed by the Heraldic Chamber of the Austrian Netherlands, failing which it would not be valid, ditto for the concessions granted by one or the another head of one of the small German states, or by the king of France or Spain. In order to avoid both the impetrant and the conceding authority any disappointment, it was therefore a way of guaranteeing the state of nobility by adding this "if necessary ".
