The House of Croy is an international noble family with branches in France, Belgium, Austria and Russia. Founded by Jean I de Croÿ, the family became influential in French politics since his son and heir Antoine I le Grand’s lifetime. This dynastic house, which originally adopted its name from the Château de Croÿ in what is now Belgium, claimed descent from the Hungarian Prince Marc who allegedly settled in France in 1147 and married an heiress to the barony of Croÿ. The Croÿs are known for often arranging marriages between distant relatives to keep the estates inside the family for as long as possible.
