Coat of the Noble House of Trazegnies
Charles II, marquess of Trazegnies

The Marquess of Trazegnies d'Ittre Markies van Trazegnies or marquis de Trazegnies is a title of the Belgian Nobility. The title has been held for centuries by the noble house of Trazegnies (Maison de Trazegnies). They hold private residence in the Castle of Corroy-le-Château. The house of Trazegnies is divided into two families: de Trazegnies and de Trazegnies d'Itrre.

History

The first recorded lord of the house was Giles I of Trazegnies (1134–1161). The title of marquess was conferred by Empress of Austria, Maria Theresa, upon the descendants of Eugène Gillion, Marquess de Trazegnies, who became Marquess of Ittre after his marriage to Marie Victoire de Rifflart, daughter of Leopold de Rifflart. Their son, Gilles Charles, was the second Marquess of Trazegnies d'Ittre. He married Amélie Constance of Nassau. His descendants still live in Belgium, and belong to one of the oldest noble houses of Belgium.

Today

The current Marquess of Trazegnies d'Ittre, Olivier de Trazegnies d'Ittre still lives in the Castle of Corroy-le-Château.[1]
