François Le Grelle (1671-1729) married Catherine de Schepper, the last descendant of the oldest branch of an old family of aldermen in Mechelen since the 16th century.[1] It is from this family that the Le Grelle family will take its coat of arms.

The Le Grelle family is a family of imperial, Dutch, Papal, and Belgian nobility.
