The Marquis of Coligny was a title in the French nobility created for Charles de Coligny in 1617.
The Marquis of Coligny-le-Vieux was created in 1617 by Archduke Albert of Austria and his wife Isabella Clara Eugenia, on the land of Coligny, for the benefit of Charles de Coligny (1654–1632), younger son of Gaspard II de Coligny de Châtillon, Admiral of France, Lord of the two Coligny (-le-Vieux, from his ancestors; and le-Neuf, County in March 1556, which he acquired in July 1563 and which was inherited by his eldest son François).[1] Upon the extinguishment of the House of Coligny in 1694, the lands of Coligny-le-Vieil passed through inheritance to the families of Langeac, Sandersleben (through Léopold-Eberhard, whose wife Anne-Sabine acquired the lands of the marquisate in 1719), Faucigny-Lucinge and Pillot who titled themselves "Marquis of Coligny" in their own right.[2]
Anne-Élisabeth's elder sister, Eléonore-Charlotte de Sandersleben (1720–1781), who died before she could inherit, married Louis-Christophe de Faucigny-Lucinge in 1752, whose descendants took the names Faucigny-Lucinge de Coligny et Châtillon. The Faucigny-Lucinge and Pillot family henceforth shared the title of Count and Marquis of Coligny (-le-Neuf, and le-Vieux), co-Lords of the lands of Coligny until the Revolution.[2]
