Some
Fournier Family History
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 d’Arc 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 Lys’s
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.
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.
Geronimo’s
descendant Lazzaro married Arietta de Pausier,
and some of their descendants adopted the surname “Fournier de Pausier”
(See below).
The Family Fournier were Merchants from France with ancient lineage,
having direct connections with the Papacy Avignon back in the 15th century with Pope Benedict XII (r1332-42) formerly
Jacques Fournier.
Pope Benedict XII
"You have elected a
jackass!" cried Jacques Fournier when to his astonishment he
found that he had been elected on the first ballot. But
the self-styled jackass was actually the outstanding theologian
in the college of cardinals. Jacques Fournier was born at
Saverdun in Southern France. He became a Cistercian monk, studied
theology at Paris, and rose to be bishop
of Pamiers and later of
Mirepoix. John XXII made him a cardinal in 1327 and depended upon
his theological knowledge in the struggles which marked that Pontiff's stormy reign. Elected unanimously on the first ballot, Jacques chose the
name Benedict XII.
At first Benedict toyed with the idea of going
back to Rome. From the Eternal City came urgent invitations. But
Romans were still turbulent and Avignon was quiet and pleasant.
Far from leaving, Benedict began to build that huge fort of a
palace which is the landmark of the Avignon exile.
Since Benedict
had been a fervent monk, the "spiritual" Franciscan
minority hoped that the new Pope would be more favorable to them.
But Benedict was a great lover of obedience and orthodoxy, and he
soon showed the recalcitrant
friars that the monk Pope had much
the same ideas as his canon lawyer predecessor. He worked hard to
reform religious orders. One outstanding measure was his
determined effort to get wandering monks and friars back into
cloister. A number of maladjusted religious had been roaming the
roads seeking adventure and, of course, giving no end of
scandal.
Benedict did his best to shepherd this wandering flock
back into the fold. He enacted other measures which helped the
Benedictines, and in general did a lot to check abuses and foster
regularity in religious houses.
Benedict also tried to reform the
abuses which were creeping into the Roman court, and he gave to
all a shining example of detachment by his steady refusal to
enrich his relatives. He loved peace so much that he declared that he would not fight even to preserve the papal kingdom. When the
storm clouds which warned of the coming Hundred Years' War
loomed, Benedict exerted himself to dissipate them. Pro-French he
may have been to the extent of creating a great majority of French cardinals, but when war threatened, he
showed himself a
truly impartial peacemaker. Unfortunately he succeeded only in
postponing the terrible war.
Benedict XII has been praised by some
of his contemporaries and harshly criticized by others. This is
not strange, for he was a pious man and an earnest reformer. These Reforms tread on toes and caused anguished outcries.
Besides,
Petrarch did not like Benedict because he would not come back
to Rome, and the fight with Louis the Bavarian still went
on. History has done justice to this holy and learned Pope. If only he had
any weaknesses, it was in the field of diplomacy. His simple
monastic outlook was ill-tuned to the complexities of high
policy.
Benedict XII died on April 25, 1342.

The
Fournier's held titles in Southern France, dating back to
Hugh Capet in the 10th Century. Many descendants may claim lineage
through this family who travelled in search of a fortune. One
descendant 'Geronimo Fournier' a Merchant (mercante di
drappi con bottega aperta sposo' Marilhena) in the Mediterranean Sea with
'The Duchy of Savoy', Grand Ducal of Tuscany,
the Papal States, Duchy
of Parma and the Kingdoms of Sardinia and the Two Sicilies
(Including
the Isles of Malta). Here Geronimo Fournier eventually settled and
made
Malta a base to expand his business to Africa, and later the
Ottoman Empires.
Upon coming of age , his son Lazzaro Fournier
already commanded a
fleet, and a Merchant who later went to France and married Ariete de
Pausier ', an heiress from another Merchant family
in Southern France. Great success soon followed as the fleet of his merchant
ships grew, and their
son was sent to be educated in the Austrian Army (Tuscany)
along with several other young Maltese (a future brother
in-law to Salvatore Baldassare Sant).
A successful career followed in the Austrian Army as promotions to Captain
(together with those of his
brother in-law), and who would also marry his best friend's sister Aloisea
Sant in 1733, who later had a large family.
Giorgio Fournier's career
in the Austrian army flourished, with many heroic adventures and
successes, thereby acquiring his Noble title from Empress Maria Theresia of
Austria, Queen of Hungary, Bohemia.... with the title of 'Barone de
Pausier'
in her Italian Provinces on 31st March 1768 at Vienna,
Austria.
This title was granted to his legitimate male
descendants in order of primogeniture, and which title was an honour to a man of such
talent and efforts in the wars against
France and Spain.
When Despuig became Grand Master in 1736 Giorgio
Fournier was nominated 'Alfiere della Cavalleria'. However, many prominent persons who were not titled, but
occupied similiar posts
were listed on the roll of Valetta. Amongst these we find the
Fournier brothers, Giuseppe and Lazzaro, who were both 'Luogotenente' of the Zebbug Regiment. The fact that most of the
Nobility were patent holders may have been another reason why they were
not included in the Ruolo, although a number of clerics are mentioned. In
fact, the only four prominent families enrolled in the Ruolo were the
Fournier, Crispo, Alessi, and Marchesi, all of whom were ennobled after
the list was drawn up. Upon retirement and finally returning to
Malta, Giorgio Fournier was presented with an Honour of
appreciated to the title of Count Fournier de Pausier on the 29th
of January, 1770 at Vienna with remainder to his descendants in the order
of primogeniture. That same year of 1770 his brother in-law, Salvatore
Baldassare Sant was also created Count Sant and remainder to his male descendants in the
order of primogeniture for services to Her Imperial Armies of
Austria.
Count Giorgio Fournier was granted permission to
use the title of Count Fournier at
the chancellery of the
order of St John on the year 1775 with full
recognition. In 1776, Baron Fournier requested Lante to be relieved of his office within
the tribunal of the Inquisition, as he
and his family had decided to emigrate to France. The next
successor was Giorgio's son Lazzaro, who held the family business
in Merchant shipping and set up an Office in Valletta. During the last
Grand Master's reign in Malta, he was exiled with his father the Count
from Malta, with the 'association to the Freemasons'. Lazzaro left
Malta followed by his father until the French had invaded Malta,
and then was invited back. During the up rise against the French, the
Count Fournier had his house and goods confiscated and was
banished from the city on the pretext of his brothers as an
insurgent leader. This is strange as the Fournier's had always
been loyal to the French and had entrusted with the first dispatch to the King of Naples, only one month before.
Being of
French descent, the Fournier's were part of the high society
and held high positions during the French reign in Malta, considered
a traitor by the Maltese during this period. The
family flourished during this period, with Lazzaro's younger
brother Gaetano holding the Merchant shipping business in France, and
Lazzaro in Malta. Gaetano married into French nobility in France, his
sisters Diane, marrying a Sicilian Barone in Licata and Anne
marrying a Frenchman while in exile during the last period of the
Knights of Malta.
Count Lazzaro Fournier, married in Malta , to the
Last 'Capitano della Verga' of Malta's niece, Modesta
Gauci-Azzopardi grandaughter of the 1st Barone di Buleben
and descendant of the Ancient noble family of Cuzkeri.
The Cuzkeri, an ancient spelling, are descendants to much of
the Maltese-Sicilian nobility and Royalty. This connection creating a link
to 'ancient' noble blood to a new noble family in Malta.
Thus only providing an heiress to the
title and family fortune,
Luigia Fournier, who succeeded as the 'de-jure' Countess Fournier de
Pausier and married the second son of the 2nd Count Sant (a
second cousin). Baldassare dei Conti Sant, a Lord Lieutenant of
Mdina, and brother of the Archbishop of Malta. Baldassare's marriage
provided a new legacy to the Sant Fournier families, uniting two noble families
in blood, and creating a new family. All 'SANT FOURNIER'
are descendants of this union.
Baldassare dei Conti Sant was the
son of the 2nd Count Sant and the 7th Baroness of Ghariexem e
Tabia, (very wealthy heiress with lots of Estates). The Sants, later
to be known as Sant Cassia's or Sant Fournier's or Sant Manduca and
Sant Barbaros were one of the richest families in Malta.
The wealth held was beyond belief by today's standards. A note,
the Sant's were divided into several families, as mentioned
above. The only family extinct in a male line are the Sant
Barbaro's.
Baldassare's mother was also from an ancient lineage,
with connections from all Noble and landed gentry of Malta. There
are several noted royal connections through this
connection.
The next holder was the son of Countess Luigia and
Baldassare Sant Fournier, Lazzaro Sant Fournier succeeded as the
4th Barone de Pausier in Italy and 4th Count in Malta. Invested
as a Knight of the Order of Charles III of Spain and was one of
the wealthiest men in Malta.
The struggles of the Royal Commission
started in Malta, where all titles had to be presented to the H.M. Government
who later finally granted permission of the title
of Count Fournier on the 30th of April, 1878. Thus providing recognition
in the
British Empire. But the title of Barone de Pausier was not acknowledged by
the British Royal Commission. (Note: The title of Barone de Pausier was
created in the Austrian Italian kingdoms, the descendants still carry this
title today, as they still have the LEGAL and ANCIENT RIGHT to retain such
title).
Lazzaro Sant Fournier first married in 1838 to Adelaide dei Baroni
Testaferrata Abela, the daughter of the Fifth Barone di Gomerino
and his third wife, 'the Contessa Buzzi-Rainier di Velletri'.
From this union came several children, Aloisia, Clotilde,
Calcidone, and 2 other children. Their daughter married into Spanish and
Maltese Nobility.
Lazzaro Sant Fournier, died in 1898, living a
life of change under the British.
Alfred Sant Fournier,
succeeded as the 5th Count and Barone for only a few years.
Alfred was fortunate to travel to London to attend the coronation
of King Edward VII in 1902, as a member of the Maltese Nobility.
He married in 1869 to a Maltese-Italian Banking and Noble family
providing the family with a Bank to their realms, and many other priceless treasures. Olga dei Conti
Tagliaferro eventually became
the sole heiress to the Tagliaferro
Banking House.
Alfred had three sons (Hugo,
Edward and Charles), Hugo and Edward were twins, though Hugo
being the elder of the twins, was unable to hold title due to his poor
condition, the title remain dormant until his death in 1910, when
his younger twin, Edward succeeded as the 6th Count (twin
with Hugo).
Edward, married Esther Testaferrata Bonici Ghaxaq dei
Marchese Testaferrata di San Vincenzo Ferreri e dei Baroni
Qlejjgha, the daughter of the 6th Marchese and 5th Baron. From
this connection, providing many connections to most of the
present Maltese nobility
Edward died in 1951 and was succeeded
by his son Alfred, as the 7th Count Fournier.
Alfred married in 1935 to Eileen
Donovan............from Cork Ireland, and had 4 children, Marie, Eileen,
and again two twins Alfred and Anthony (the problem of Title holder was to
present itself again).
Marie the eldest married to Dr. Philip Attard Montalto, and had four
children, Edward, Patricia, Victoria and Deborah. Eileen married to Chev.
A. Busietta and has 3 children, Hadrian jr., Rowena and Fiona. Anthony dei
Conti Fournier married to Elisabeth nee' Anastasi and had three children,
Alexander, Christian and Edward.
Alfred died in 1973, a year before the
Republic of Malta was installed, and succeeded by his son
also Alfred, as the 8th Count Fournier and the 8th Baron de Pausier born on
the 7th October 1944, succeeded by his six children. Alfred and Anthony were twins, but
Alfred was the eldest, born 15 minutes earlier at 11.45 whilst Anthony was born
at 12.00. All brothers and sisters lived under the terrible times of the 70's and
80's (known better as the dark years), both brothers went to various schools and colleges
and Alfred was widely
respected by many of his Bank colleagues. Alfred worked for the National Bank of Malta
for 5 years and later (after the Scandal takeover by Dom Mintoff) with the Bank
of Valletta for 18 years. He died 31st December 2002 at an untimely age of 58.
His
eldest son succeeded him the 20th September 2003, as the 9th Count
Fournier et Barone de Pausier. Partly researched until the 6th Count Fournier
