Marquess of Heusden

Marquess of Heusden
Richard Trench,
the 1st Marquess of Heusden

Marquess of Heusden is a high ranking Dutch title of nobility retained by the Earl of Clancarty.

Richard Trench, 2nd Earl of Clancarty was credited with resolving various border disputes in Holland, Germany and Italy at the Congress of Vienna (1814 – 1815) and in his role as Ambassador to the Netherlands. For his service as ambassador to The Hague, he was raised into the Dutch nobility with the creation of the hereditary title Markies van Heusden (Marquess of Heusden) by King William I of the Netherlands (royal decree 8 July 1815 no. 14).

Nobility

The 2nd Earl of Clancarty and all his descendants belong to the Dutch nobility, in which all the descendant Earls have the title of Marquess of Heusden and the rest of their family the Dutch honorific Jonkheer or Jonkvrouw.

Only two outside the Netherlands living non-Dutch families have been raised into the Dutch nobility: besides the family Le Poer Trench also the family Wellesley, with the Duke of Wellington as the Prince of Waterloo.
