The d'Estaing family is one of the most notable noble families of the Rouergue and Auvergne regions of France. They originated from Estaing, in the modern Aveyron ''département'' where their châtelain has been traced to the start of the 11th century.〔First mentioned in 1028.〕 The house of d'Estaing became extinct with the death of Admiral Charles Henri d'Estaing (in 1794), who had no son as heir. His half-sister Lucie Madeleine d'Estaing died in 1826; she left some descendants. The genealogy of the d'Estaing family has not documented as having any connection to the Giscard d'Estaing family. They were permitted in 1922 to take the name. == History == In 1214, at the Battle of Bouvines, Déodat, known as Tristan, was said to have saved the life of King Philippe Auguste and given him his horse. In recognition, the king gave Déodat the right to adopt the arms of France, keeping the golden ''chef'' that covered his former arms.〔''Merveilles des châteaux d'Auvergne et du Limousin'' (Réalités Hachette, 1971, p.23)〕 Recent historians believe this account is legend. The family produced prelates, officers, Knights of Malta and numerous notable figures. It received the ''Honneurs de la Cour'' (a prestigious honour granted only to the families of ancient nobility and allowing them to approach the King and the Queen) in 1750. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「D'Estaing family」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
