Mensdorff-Pouilly is the name of a noble family originally from Lorraine. The family derives its name from the barony of Pouilly at Stenay in Meuse. In 1790, during the French Revolution, Albert Louis de Pouilly (1731-1795) emigrated with his family. His sons Albert and Emmanuel changed the family name to Mensdorff-Pouilly, named for a place in the county of Roussy in Luxembourg. In 1818, the Austrian branch of the family received a comital title from the Austrian Emperor and was recognized as noble in Bohemia in 1839 (the ''Inkolat''). The family motto is ''Fortitudine et caritate''. == Notable members == * Emmanuel von Mensdorff-Pouilly (1777–1852), Vice Governor of the Fortress of Mainz. * * Princess Sophie of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld (1778–1835), married to Emmanuel; the sister of both Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld and King Leopold I of Belgium; aunt of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. * Alexander von Mensdorff-Pouilly, Prince Dietrichstein von Nicolsburg (1813–1871), son of Emmanuel and Sophie; Austrian Foreign Minister (1864–1866). * Albert von Mensdorff-Pouilly-Dietrichstein (1861–1945), a son of Alexander; a diplomat.
