The d'Aubert family or Aubert is a family of the French nobility, and a branch belongs also to the Nobility of Denmark and to the Nobility of Norway. The family originates in the town of Thionville in Lothringen, where their progenitor Jean Aubert was a merchant. Today members live in France, in Denmark, in Norway, in Sweden, and in Germany.[1]
France edit
The noble family of Aubert was founded in the Duchy of Lorraine with the ennoblement in 1612 of Jean Aubert, a merchant of Thionville.[2] This town was at the time in Habsburg possession and a part of the Holy Roman Empire until its annexation by France in 1659.[3]
Denmark and Norway edit
Jean d'Aubert's great-great-grandson, François Jacques Xavier d'Aubert (1727–1793) emigrated to Denmark in 1752 to take up a career in the Danish army.[2] He became a Dano-Norwegian nobleman in 1776.[2] Separate branches of the family descend from his two sons, both military men: Benoni d'Aubert (1768–1832) who moved to Norway and founded the Norwegian branch of the family, and Jacques d'Aubert (1769–1844), whose son Oskar Aubert (1831-1900) was the ancestor of the Danish and German branches of the family.[4]
