House of Wolbock

[edit]

The Wolbock family is an extant family of the French nobility, a nobility of descent (noblesse d'extraction), originally from Guelders and established in France in the sixteenth century.

Origins

[edit]

This family, originally from the Duchy of Guelders in the Netherlands, settled in France, in Soissonnais, with Nicolas de Wolbock, Freiherr of Wolbock, lord of Loo,[1] Worms, Courcelles, Applincourt, Loupeigne, Viscount of Limez,[2] who obtained letters of naturalisation in 1573, and married Charlotte de Châtillon d'Harzillemont in 1577.[3][4]Since their naturalisation in 1573, the Wolbock family translate the old title of Freiherr as "baron".

Nicolas de Wolbock went to France with a corps of reiters.[2]

His father and grandfather Henri and Nicolas de Wolbock, lords of Wormser, had been under the service of the King of France since 1540 and distinguished themselves, especially under the orders of Monsieur de Longueval,[5] lieutenant for His Majesty in the government of Champagne, who had been sent in 1541 by the King of France with an rescue army, to William of Cleves, the last Duke of Guelders; Vanloo's Treaty of September 12, 1543, giving Charles V Dutch independence, Nicolas (Klaus) of Wolbock returned to Ile-de-France with Monsieur de Longueval.

The family possessed the fiefs of Limé, Applincourt, Loupeigne etc.[6]

Nobility

[edit]

The Wolbock family was maintained noble in 1609 by judgement of the Cour des Aides and on July 18, 1667 by M. Dorieu, Intendant of Soissons.[2]

Antoine, son of Nicholas Wolbock, exempt from the bodyguards of the King and gentleman serving the Queen, was requested to the arrière-ban of Soissons in 1635.[7]

At the Armorial du Soissonnais of 1680 established by order of Louis XIV, one can read: "F de Volbocq, Sieur de Limaye, native of Germany, justified noble since 1573".[8]
