The Curtius Baronetcy of Sweden was a title in the Baronetage of England,〔 created on 2 April 1652 for William Curtius, "Resident to the King of Sweden". In Germany Curtius was known as Wilhelm von Curti, where from 1654 he resided in Castle Curti in Umstadt, Hesse. Curtius was a diplomat representing the House of Stuart during the Thirty Years' War and the exile of Charles II, and head magistrate for two of the Electoral Palatinate districts for many years. 〔 〕 〔''(Wilhelm von Curti )'', Biography of Hesse, at: ''Landesgeschichtliches Informationssystem Hessen (LAGIS) in Germany''〕 Curtius was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1667,〔 〕 and was England's Resident Ambassador to the Holy Roman Empire from 1664 until 1677. ==Early life== The di Curti family were Italian lower nobility from the Lombardian region around Gravedona. Parts of the family moved along Lake Geneva and the river Rhine (ex allobrogius) to the German area of the Electoral Palatinate. Sir William's father settled at the city of Bensheim, where Curtius was born in 1599.〔S.
