Von Hügel Explained
The Hügel family is a German noble family originating from Württemberg. In 1790, members of the younger branch of the family were elevated to the rank of Imperial Baron by Leopold II, while in 1801 members of the elder line of family were raised to the same rank by Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor. On 13 June 1879 the elder branch of the family was raised to the hereditary title of Count in the Kingdom of Württemberg by King Charles I.[1] [2] This comital branch of the Hügel family was closely related to the Dukes of Teck, morganatic branch of the House of Württemberg. Countess Amalie von Hügel was paternal aunt of Queen Mary.
