Van Polanen was a noble family that played an important role in the Netherlands during the Middle Ages. The impact of the family transcended its dissolution in the 15th century as the House of Nassau gained the vast properties of the House of Polanen in 1403 through marriage. The titles such as baron of Breda and lord of Polanen remain amongst the titles of the monarch of the Netherlands until today.
