History[edit]
The French province of Picardy, where the Lanoe family has had a family seat with estates and a manor for centuries, is where the surname Lanoe first appeared.[1]
This aristocratic family had a strong reputation in the Picardie region. Several family members distinguished themselves by marking significant contributions to their local communities, for which they were given estates, titles, and letter patent attesting to their nobility. They were to become Princess de Sulmone and Princess of Rheina Wolbeck, respectively.[2]
