2. ( Second Marriage) Louis-Charles de Fournier, Sire de la Chapelle. (a female descendant had married a illegitimate descendant of

Footnote #1: The Fournier tradition claims that
Jacobo-Guillame de Fournier was a descendant of the French Lords de Fourniers,
of whom Jacques Fournier (Pope Benedict XII died 1342) was a member. This
family hailed form Avignon, France and enjoyed the title of Comte.
Various authentic copies exist of a grant dated December 1429 by King Charles
VII of France of a coat of arms and nobility to St. Jeanne dÕArc and her family
(given the surname "du Lys") including the descendants of her
brothers Jacquemin, Jean, and Pierre out of gratitude for Joan of Arc's
military victories. This grant allowed for the transmission of noble status
through both the male and female lines. This had the practical effect of
allowing them to pass their status to all of their descendants.In
fact, it is amply recorded that two descendants of Pierre de LysÕs daughter
namely Robert Le Fournier (the Baron of Tournebeu) and his nephew Lucas
du Chemin (the Lord of Feron), successfully petitioned King Henry II of
France in October 1550 for a confirmation of transmission of nobility to them
under the terms of the aforesaid patent of nobility dated December 1429.
Footnote #2: It appears that the Maltese branch are of a
younger branch of the Counts Fournier and are descended from Geronimo Fournier
a merchant based
in Trapani, Sicily. It is not amiss to note that Geronimo's brother was Fra.
Giacomo de Fournier, a Knight of the Order of St John, which may have been an
incentive for prompting Geronimo to leave Sicily and settle in Malta..

Footnote #1: Giorgio Fournier de Pausier applied for a title and that by letters
patent bearing date the 31st March 1768, the title of Barone was
conferred by Empress Maria Theresa on Giorgio Fournier de Pausier. The patent
issued, at the granteeÕs request, runs thus:- Te supradictum
Georgium Fournier in numerum, consortium, coetum, ordinem, atque Baronum
dignatatem assumimus, teque una cum filiis tuis atque posteris virilis sexus,
ex legitimo thoro natis atque nascituris in infinitum, primogeniali ordine
semper servato, Baronem ac Barones Regnorum et Provinciarum nostrarum facimus,
nominamus atque creamus. (See:- Correspondence and
Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the claims and grievances of
the Maltese Nobility, May 1878, presented to both Houses of Parliament by
Command of Her Majesty (C.-2033.) (See Report Paras.
205-208). Although published sources refer to
this title as Barone de Pausier it is clear that that is a misnomer as
the title granted was of Barone and not Barone de Pausier.. However, the accepted form is
used here so as to distinguish it from other dignities enjoyed by the granteeÕs
family. At Maltese Law this title of Barone (de Pausier) is only a
foreign title and, as such, it can be considered for the purposes of precedence
in Malta only if registration or Magistral recognition has been achieved in accordance
with the rules of 1739 and 1795 as enacted by Grand Masters Despuig and Rohan.
In this case, this title granted to Fournier de Pausier in
1768 was never registered in Malta, nor does it appear to have received
direct recognition for the Grand Masters who ruled Malta. (See:- Correspondence and Report of the Commission appointed
to enquire into the claims and grievances of the Maltese Nobility, May 1878,
presented to both Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty (C.-2033.) Unfortunately, the 1878 report is not helpful in indicating whether
Empress Maria Theresa granted this title in her German or Italian provinces, or
elsewhere, nor does it indicate the place where the title was applied for, or
where it was granted. On the other hand, it is helpful in indicating that the
1768 remainder reads posteris virilis sexus, ex legitimo thoro natis atque
nascituris in infinitum, primogeniali ordine semper servato . Upon a further reading of the
1878 report, it results that two years later Giorgio Fournier de Pausier
received another title of Conte (see footnotes below) where the grantor
is described as the same Empress Maria Theresa, and that that title was
granted in the Kingdom and Provinces of Germany. This however is not
necessarily conclusive proof of the relative jurisdiction as the 1878 Report
also describes yet another title granted by the same Empress in the same year
1770 but in the Italian Provinces annexed to the German Empire.
Footnote #2: Another title, this time one of Conte was conferred upon the said
Giorgio Fournier de Pausier by the same Empress Maria Theresa, by a patent
given at Vienna on the 29th January 1770. The grant was made to the said
Giorgio Fournier de Pausier, in the Kingdom and Provinces of Germany with
succession to his children and descendants of the male sex, whether born or to be born from lawful wedlock, according to the order
of primogeniture. The following is the operative clause of the patent of
creation:- Teque una cum filiis tuis atque posteris
virilis sexus, ex legitimo thoro natis atque nascituris, in infinitum,
primogeniali ordine servato, Comitem ac Comites Regnorum et Provinciarum
nostrarum, facimus, nominamus atque creamus. (See:-
Correspondence and Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the
claims and grievances of the Maltese Nobility, May 1878, presented to both
Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty (C.-2033.) (See Report Paras.
209-215; Suppemental Report Part III; Letter of Hicks-Beach at pages 59-60 of
Report). At Maltese Law this title of Conte (Fournier) is
only a foreign title and, as such, it can be considered for the purposes of
precedence in Malta only
if registration or Magistral recognition has been achieved
in accordance with the rules of 1739 and 1795 as enacted by Grand Masters
Despuig and Rohan. In this case, it appears that the 1770 title granted to
Fournier de Pausier was in fact registered in the Cancelleria, and in
the High Court of the Castellania. Although published sources refer to
this title as Conte Fournier it is clear that that is a misnomer as the
title granted was of Conte and not Conte Fournier. However, the
accepted form is used here so as to distinguish it from other dignities enjoyed
by the granteeÕs family. The 1878 Commissioners had difficulty in ascertaining
whether the remainder of this 1770 grant, albeit providing for succession by
Primogeniture, allowed a male descending from a female descendant of the
grantee, to enjoy the title. In fact the 1878 Commissioners never reached a
decision about the matter. It appears however that this
latter question was resolved by the British Secretary of State (see
below).

Footnote #1:
It appears that the 1878 Commissioners were slightly confused about Lazzaro
FournierÕs identity or even his very existence. In their first report, the
commissioners reported: Giorgio Fournier, the person first ennobled, left
Lazzaro Sant , who died without any son to whom the
title might descend, but leaving only one daughter, Luigia Sant, the present
claimant's mother. Later, in their Supplemental Report, the same
Commissioners said thus: The first titled person Giorgio Fournier had no male issue, but left one daughter,
Luigia wife of Baldassare Sant, of whom Lazzaro Sant, the present claimant, is
the first-born son. (See:-
Correspondence and Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the
claims and grievances of the Maltese Nobility, May 1878, presented to both
Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty (C.-2033.) (See Report
Paras. 209-215; Suppemental Report Part III; Letter of Hicks-Beach at pages
59-60 of Report).

Luigia Fournier, (died 1858), 3rd Baronessa de Pausier "Contessa
FournierÓ, married 1811 to Conte Baldassare Sant, 3rd (joint 3rd) Count Sant , with issue.
The Sant Fournier genealogy continues here: ---->
Footnote #1:
As indicated above, the 1768 title granted Giorgio Fournier de Pausier is to
follow the order of primogeniture. On the basis of the genealogical chart, the
primogenial descendant of Giorgio Fournier de Pausier, the then primogenial
descendant was a woman, namely Luigia Fournier wife of Baldassare Sant. As it
does not result where the 1768 title was granted, one assumes that there is
nothing which prevented an artificial agnation allowing Luigia Fournier and her
descendants to enjoy the title of Barone (de Pausier) by order of
Primogeniture.
Footnote #2: The same cannot be said in regard to the 1770 title of Conte granted
to Fournier de Pausier as that grant is amply described in the 1878 report of
the Royal Commissioners. In the first place, it is clear from the terms of the
grant that the title cannot be enjoyed but by male members of the granteeÕs
family. In fact the Commissioners themselves observed that the relative
remainder only allows the male sex to succeed. Published sources show the
aforesaid Luigia Fournier as having enjoyed the title. This is patently not
consistent with the terms of the 1770 grant. It will be recalled that in
analogous situation (barone della Marsa), the 1878 Commissioners held
that the formula tuisque descentibus masculis tribuimus concedimus et donamus excluded a female from succeeding a title
granted in such terms.
Footnote #4: As indicated above, the 1878 Commissioners deliberated at length whether
the title could be enjoyed by a male descendant who could
only claim through an intermediate female descendant. They argued that
had this title been created by a local sovereign, the question would present
little difficulty, but in the present case, the claim must be considered under
the German Feudal Law in force at the time of the issuing of the patent of this
title. It appears that the 1878 Commissioners made some exasperating searches
to ascertain the legal effects of a grant issued in Austria towards the close
of the 18th century and limited to the male descendants of a person and concluded
that because of inadequate information they did not feel justified in
expressing any opinion on this point. The Commissioners however did point out
that there is in the grant to Giorgio Fournier no clause proving that on the
failure of the granteeÕs male line, the son of the surviving female descendant
should succeed to the title. Consequently, they indicated that this may mean that the will and intendment of the grantor was to limit the
succession to the title originally conferred on Giorgio Fournier to his male
descendants belonging to his male line. However, they added that it may be
significant that the 1770 title granted to Fournier was based in the Kingdom
and Provinces of Germany and not in the Italian Provinces annexed to the German
Empire. In the latter grant, a condition is attached by which the grantee is
required to purchase a fief in Lombardy, a condition which
does not appear in the patent granted to Giorgio Fournier. Because they did not
feel fully acquainted with the laws and statutes in force in the German Empire
and its Italian dependencies, in or about the year 1770, the 1878 Commissioners
refrained from expressing an opinion as regards to this issue. The issue
appears to have been resolved by the British Secretary of State for the
Colonies in the following terms: In this case, if the patent had issued in
Malta or in Sicily, I gather than the claim would have been allowed under the
rules of feudal law recognized in those States, and therefore without offering
any opinion as to the strict legal effect which would be given to the patent at
Vienna, and without prejudice to any future legal decision upon its meaning, should
it ever be called in question in a court of law, I feel that I may reasonably
permit the claimant and his successors, for the purpose of precedence, to take
the place to which they would be entitled under the principles of legal
interpretation applicable to the grant if it had emanated in 1770 from the
Sicilian or Maltese Sovereign authority. (See:-
Correspondence and Report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the
claims and grievances of the Maltese Nobility, May 1878, presented to both
Houses of Parliament by Command of Her Majesty (C.-2033.) (See Report Paras.

Additional
Information
* (De Jure Count
Sant) - Titled: Stephen Sant Fournier, Count Sant Fournier, as the
primogeniture went to Lazzaro Sant and his
descendants and several documents state that the Count title belongs to the
Sant Fourniers. This providing a possibility that all male to
male descendants of the 1st Count Sant are entitled under the Germanic
system as Counts (Graf) within the order of primogeniture.
All male to male descendants can style Counts (Graf) and daughters can style Countess (Contessa, Grdfin), but not their descendants. Though in the direct line, inheritance may
be accepted via female line as the Count Sant of the Holy Roman Empire and in
Malta. Another example is the Head of the Sant Manduca line, John Mary dei
Conti Sant Manduca was accepted by HRH, Duca di Calabria as Count, thus pushing
further the acceptance to all male descendants. All Spouses can style Countess
(Contessa, Grdfin).
Both in Malta
and under the Germanic Empire (Austria Lombardy was part of) would naturally
accept one holder as the head of the lineal descent, and further acceptance by
descent for all existing male descendants in the legitimate line as Counts, Grdf..
