Mony Diplomats Here
Are Noblemen, Too
By SELMA ROOSEVELT

Washington's diplomatic
corps is absolutely abound
ing with noblemen. ranging
from a prince to assorted
counts, barons and the like.
This comes as quite a sur
prise. considering the rather
restricted area to which no.
bility is confined these days
what with the Iron Curtain
and various social revolutions.
Most noblemen stationed
here are very modest about
their illustrious ancestry.
Their titles are almost never
used officially, nor are they
found on the diplomatic list
except for countries where the
title still has legality.
For example. in glancing
over the list of Italy's diplo-
matte representatives here,
those not up on their heraldry
might fail to realize that five
titles are hidden by the inno-
cent appendage Of "Signor."
Italian Nobility
Actually, with the advent of
the Republic in Italy. titles are
no longer recognized by the
government and for that rea-
son are used only on an in
formal social basis.
Nonetheless Signor Eduardo
Costa Sanseverino de Bisig-
nano, first secretary of the
Italian Embassy, is really
Prince of Bisignano and the
family is one of the most dis
tinguished in Southern Italy.
His ancestry goes back to
the early days of the Normans
and the family has belonged
to the Order of Malta since
1887. The title was conferred
during the 18th century by
Charles VIII and today the
family has, in addition to
Prince OF Bisignano, six other
titles of prince, two dukes, one
marquis and one count.
Other bluebloodS at the
embassy include Count Giu-
seppe de Rege Thesauro, first
secretary; Count Roberto Ric-
cardi, second secretary; Baron
Franco Fiorio, the Assistant
Air Attache, and Marquis

latter is the cultural attache
stationed in New York. His
family, from Perugia. has a
18th century castle complete
with drawbridge.
Problem Of French Titles
Probably the most complex
hierarchy is the nobility of
France.
There, titles were con-
ferred by the Monarchy until
1892 and then during the
Restoration from 1915 to 1848.
But in between, other titles
were created by the Empire
under Napoleon I and the
Second Empire under Ma
poleon II.
Under the Monarchy titles
were conferred by the King
for services rendered and gen.
orally corresponded with own
erhip of a geographic area.
For example, Count Jean de
la Grandville. Counselor of the
French Embassy, has a title
which dates from the early
18th century and was taken
from the name of the village
of Grandville in Northern
France.
Empire titles, such as French
Minister Baron de Juniac's.
were generally conferred by
Napoleon for military services.
Baron de Juniac's family re-
ceived its title in 1908.
Today. the French govern
ment recognizes only the title
of duke. There are about 40
authentic French dukedoms.
with only Is now represented
(the others have all died out).
But for the privilege OF being
duke the government extracts
a very stiff tax each time the
title is inherited.
On Marrying q Title

bilious mothers around town

daughters off to a titled Eu-
ropean, it must be reported

following a great parliament

In pioneer days. People used to

festive occasions like the husk-

In 1924 one Doddridge wrote:
The standard dinner dish for
every log rolling, house raising,
and harvest day was a pot pye.v
Later. by extension, logrolling
came to mean, "the exchanging
