Goblet d'Alviella family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Goblet d'Alviella family is an old family from Tournai and originally from the high Portuguese nobility dating back to 1668, it has been recognised in the Belgian nobility. On June 21, 1838, it received from Queen Mary II of Portugal, the hereditary title of "Count of Alviella" and "Grandesse" (see Grandesse of Spain) in favor of Albert Goblet. On November 20, 1838, King Leopold I of Belgium homologated the letters patent and authorized the family to hold this same title in Belgium. On February 22, 1845, Count Louis Goblet d'Alviella and his descendants were allowed to wear a crown of Marquis on their coats of arms instead of a crown of count, by King Leopold I of Belgium.
