Ebenbürtigkeit clauses for ancien-régime French "subsistutions héréditaires"?

[b***@gmail.com]

In connection with the testament of the father of the recently deceased Prince Richard of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg, which demands that his (the testator's) grandson marries a noble (Aryan and Protestant) woman, I was wondering if such Ebenbürtigkeit clauses, demanding noble spouses, so well-known in German Fideikommisse and to a certain extent also English entails, I suppose, existed in France before the Revolution, when so-called "subsistutions héréditaires", a kind of entails or fideicommiss, apparantly were quite common?

The contemporary L'Éncyclopedié (ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers) says quite a lot about "subsistutions héréditaires", but nothing about any Ebenbürtigkeit requirements. I know it was common in the French nobility to marry bourgeois or recently ennobled heiresses (maybe not as common as in Britain, but far more common than in Germany), but I also suspect that some reactionary nobles like the duc de Saint-Simon would try to stop from beyond the grave his lineage being defiled by commoners. Does anybody know?

And BTW - if anybody knows anything concrete about the details of the Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg testament, especially about who is to inherit (the Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein line?) if Prince Gustav marries Carina Axelsson, feel free to chime in.

Where is the publicatio/Kundmachung,of Richard W's will?

It hasn't been published and there is much speculation as to what its real contents and stipulations really are.

There seems to be some difficulties
to read you
to send some messages
of course one knows very little of internet practises, such as size of letters/bogstaver

Some observations:
./ebenbürtig (nicht-): égal (non-) de naissance - nascita eguali (7.10.1825). inégal.

./“ebenbürtige Ehe” (term in French, English: [mariage] d'égalité de naissance [1815, text -as law never promulgated in Austria (difference to [some] German States)];
./(marriage) being of equal status [better perhaps: of equal birth], Burke's 1977, 18)
./right of equality = Ebenbürtigkeit
Ebenbürtigkeit [equal birth, égalité de naissance]

./“ebenbürtige Ehe” - [mariage] d'égalité de naissance - marriage of equal status

My dear Count, please don't clog this thread with all kinds of non-relevant Austrian perspectives.

Some times your letters are very tiny.

Ebenbürtigkeit is if you want an Austriacum, see Vienna trety of which Denmark was a party;

Syppose you must go in Copenhagen to Danske, eventually Tyske Cancelli. (Rigsarkivet).
