The de Ficquelmont family is a noble family from Lorraine dating back to the 14th century whose filiation is established with Henry de Ficquelmont, a knight who died before 1386.[2][3]
This family produced different branches in France, Austria, Belgium, and became extinct in 1948 in the male line with Louis-Charles de Ficquelmont de Vyle[2] and in the female line in 1991 with countess Ghislaine de Ficquelmont de Vyle.
