House of Sabran
The House of Sabran was a Provençal family whose bloodline was extinguished in 1847 in the person of Elzéar-Louis of Sabran, general, who was made a hereditary peer of France in 1815, comte-pair (count-peer) in 1817, and duc-pair (duke-peer) in 1825. Among its members are two Catholic saints, three bishops, and five generals.
Because his marriage with Victorine-Antoinette de Pontevès was childless, he named as his heirs the two nephews of his wife: Edouard and Léonide de Pontevès-Bargème, in whose favor a royal ordinance of 1828 and 1829 letters-patent authorised the transmission of the title of Duke of Sabran. Through an 1832 adoption, the name de Sabran has since been carried by the de Pontevès family.
The name stemmed from the barony of Sabran near Bagnols sur Cèze in the north of the département of Gard. The barony also possessed in Provence significant assets in the town of Beaucaire, as well as a portion of the city of Uzès, which fell to it as a result of the marriage around 1156 of Rostaing II to Roscie du Caylar, granddaughter of Elzéart d'Uzès. The ancient old, former lords of Sabran styled themselves by the grace of God, constables of the counts of Toulouse.
The family was very proud to count two Catholic saints among its members : Elzéar de Sabran, canonized in 1369, and his wife Dauphine or Delphine, proclaimed bienheureuse, for their mystic love and their love for the humble. Procession is still made for them every September in Ansouis, whose lordly domain has belonged to their family since the 10th century, then belonged to it again from 1836 to 2008.
Several of its members were knights of the order of Malta, marshalls of the kingdom of Naples or officers of high rank in the royal navy (Marine royale) in France.
They were also counts of Ariano, sovereign counts of Forcalquier, counts of Sabran, then of Sabran-Pontevès, baron of Ansouis, and peers and dukes of France. The family was received to the Honneurs de la Cour.
The House of Sabran descends from Charles Martel through his son Pepin the Short. Pepin became the husband of Bertrade de Laon. They gave birth to Mathilde and Gueraud d'Auvergne, the couple who originated the Amic de Sabran and Sabran families.
