 THE PRINCELY HOUSE OF BELMONTE
House of Belmonte

The members of this family are surnamed as indicated. The immediate family of the Prince and Princess traditionally uses the toponym "di Belmonte". Children of the Prince and Princess enjoy the noble predicate of Don or Donna before their Christian names. As Princes of the Holy Roman Empire, the Prince and Princess of Belmonte were historically accorded the title of His or Her Serene Highness. As Grandees of Spain, the Princes and Princesses and their children are correctly styled "His or Her Excellency", or "Most Excellent Lord or Lady". The courtesy title of the Prince or Princess's heir apparent, male or female, is Duke or Duchess of Acerenza, that of their heir apparent is Marquess or Marchioness of Galatone, and of their heir apparent Count or Countess of Copertino. The eldest son or daughter of a titled noble or Grandee of the Spanish Kingdom (senior to a Count) may use the title of Viscount (Visconde) or Viscountess (Viscondessa) with the place name of their parent's principle title until their succession; so for example the Duchess of Acerenza is also, until succession, "Viscondessa de Belmonte".

The History of The Princely House of Belmonte

Prince or Princess Belmonte (Principe o Principessa di Belmonte) is a noble title created in 1619 by the Spanish crown for the Barons of Badolato and Belmonte. In addition to the princely title, the Princes were made Grandees of Spain, First Class in 1712, and in 1726 were granted the rank of 'Reichsfürsten', Princes of the Holy Roman Empire, with the title Serene Highness (Durchlaucht). The Princes hold a number of subsidiary titles, including Duke of Acerenza (1593), Marquess of Galatone (1562) and Count of Copertino (1562).

The seat of the princes is Palazzo Belmonte, on the Bay of Salerno and south of Amalfi (in Italy), although the name of the senior title is taken from the fortress town of Belmonte, historically important for the defence of the Italian Coast from Saracen invasion. Belmonte has been known since the Risorgimento as Belmonte Calabro. The princes are descendants of the Genovese papal family of Fieschi, who were ennobled as Counts Palatine in the year 1010 by Henry the Holy, King of Italy and later Holy Roman Emperor. The Emperor created the title of 'Count of Lavagna' and appointed the Fieschi as Imperial Vice Regents of all Tuscany and of the coast of Genoa.

SE Don Angelo Granito Pignatelli di Belmonte is the current and 13th prince. The princely title has descended to its present holder through the following heiresses: Ravaschieri Fieschi, Squarciafico Pinelli, and Pignatelli y Aymerich. The last of these three heiresses married the Marquess of Castellabate, bringing her extensive lands and titles to the Granito family, patricians (patrizii) of Salerno (Seggio di Campo) since 1380.

The Ancestry of The House of Belmonte

HE The Prince of Belmonte is descended from the Fieschi, Counts Palatine of Lavagna. The Fieschi were a celebrated family of Liguria in north-west Italy, and one of the principal four families of Genoa, with the Grimaldi, Spinola and Doria. In the 13th Century, the Fieschi were allied to the House of Grimaldi, modern day Princes of Monaco, in the struggle between the Guelphs and Ghibellines.

The ancestors of the Belmonte Princes include Sinibaldo, Pope Innocent IV son of Ugone Fieschi, and Ottobuono, Pope Adrian V son of Thedisius Fieschi, as well as several cardinals, a King of Sicily, the Viceroy of Naples to René of Anjou (René I of Naples) (Jacopo Fieschi), three saints including Saint Catherine of Genoa (1447-1510), and both generals and admirals of Genoa and other states. Through their later marriage to a line of the Pignatelli, the Princes of Belmonte share blood with a third pope, Pope Innocent XII, and the Jesuit Saint Joseph Pignatelli (1737-1811), of Saragossa.

Count Ugone of Lavagna was alleged to have been the first to bear the name 'Fiesco' or Fieschi, attributed to his control of the fiscal affairs of the Holy Roman Emperor. His descendant, Rubaldo / Robaldo di Fiesco or 'Fieschi', was confirmed as Count of Lavagna in the 11th Century. In the mid 12th Century (c1158) Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor 'Barbarossa' confirmed feudal rights in Lavagna to the Fieschi: the beneficiaries included Rubaldo and his nephews Gulielmo, Tebaldo, Enrico, Ruffino, Aldedado, Gherardo; Ottone and his brother Ugone; and Alberto and his brother Beltramino. The rank of Count Palatine was confirmed once again at Lucca on 27 May 1369 by Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor of the House of Luxembour. Later confirmations of the Fieschi status as direct vassals to the Holy Roman Emperor were given by the House of Habsburg in 1521, 1529, 1568, and 1620.

Descending from Beltramino Fieschi, Count of Lavagna, the Ravaschiero Fieschi rose to prominence as royal bankers: Giovanni Battista was appointed Master of the Mint of Naples and Aquila (Maestro di Zecca di Napoli e l'Aquila) in 1552 under His Imperial Majesty Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor (1516-1554), and his seal of 'IBR' frequently appears on the coinage of that time. Giovanni Battista was one of 7 children, of whom the eldest brother Giovan Francesco, was Prior of Bari of the Order of Malta (+1555). Germano followed his father as 'Maestro di Zecca', under King Philip II of Spain, and was the father of Giovan Battista, 1st Baron of Badolato, and therefore grandfather of Don Orazio, the first Prince Belmonte.

The dignity was confirmed again in 1158 by Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor of the House of Hohenstaufen and later by the Emperors of the House of Luxemburg and the House of Habsburg. The Lavagna title itself has never been used by the Belmonte Princes, although the Ravaschieri Fieschi antecedents of the Princes, such as Don Orazio Giovan Battista Ravaschieri Fieschi, 1st Prince of Belmonte, are frequently styled as heirs of that line in historical records, as 'dei Conti di Lavagna' ('of the Counts of Lavagna')- for instance on their tombs in Belmonte Calabro.

Title inherited by descent to the Belmonte Princes through Donna Anna Maria Ravaschieri Caracciolo, sister of Don Gaetano, 4th Prince of Belmonte (qv).

Note: the Princely title of Belmonte and most of the subsidiary titles of the Princes of Belmonte were granted in the peerage of the Kings of Spain, as rulers of the Kingdom of Naples which was subject to their viceroys. These titles have subsequently been recognised, firstly within the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and secondly within the Kingdom of Italy. Titles granted by the Kings of Spain, having dominion over Naples and other territories, are eligible for recognition by the Spanish throne and subject to the terms of their original grant.

The Arms of The Princely House

Grand Arms: the separate arms described below both trace the descent of the Belmonte princely title, and include arms brought to the family with an additional title (marked *) through marriage alliances. These quarterings combine to form the 'Grand Arms' of the Prince or Princess of the day.

* Ravaschieri (Naples)- bendy gules and argent, the 2nd bend gules charged with an ermine proper; coronet of a Prince (Belmonte). Augmentation of Honour as Grand Seneschal of the Kingdom of Naples.

* Fieschi (Genoa)- bendy argent and azure, coronet of an Earl or Count (Lavagna). Crest- an eagle issuant sable.

The arms encircled by chains of the Order of the Golden Fleece, the Order of Santiago and the Order of San Gennaro. (14 August 1702 - 8 January 1779) .

Augmentation of Honour of the papal ombrellino and keys in saltire (Pope Innocent XII), and as General of the Imperial Cavalry, the arms all borne on the breast of a double-headed eagle displayed sable crowned and nimbed or (Prince of the Holy Roman Empire*).

* Rocaberti (Catalonia)- gules, three pales or each charged with three chess rooks azure; coronet of a Marquess (Argençola*).

Simple Arms: instead of their 'Grand Arms', the Princes have sometimes preferred to use simpler arms. So, the arms of the most recent Belmonte heiress (the 10th Princess) and her alliance in marriage are currently used (thus, impaling Granito with Pignatelli for 'Granito Pignatelli').

The Line of Succession of the Princes and Princesses of Belmonte

The Principate of Belmonte was granted to the Ravaschieri Fieschi family (also written Ravaschiero or Ravaschiera), Barons of Badolato and Barons of Belmonte, and hereditary Counts of Lavagna, whose private chapel is in the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, Naples.

In 1685 the Belmonte title descended in marriage to the Pinelli, who already held the older subsidiary title of Duke or Duchess of Acerenza (along with the title of Marquess or Marchioness of Galatone, and that of Count or Countess of Copertino through an earlier marriage of the Pinelli with the Squarciafico family); in 1779, on the death of the Princess, the princely title was inherited through marriage to the Marquess of San Vicente, by the Pignatelli y Aymerich, of the Princes of Noia; in 1911, the last Princess of Belmonte in the Pignatelli y Aymerich line died and her son inherited the title (this succession was also confirmed by patent in 1887).
