General Notes: Husband - Lars Huling

---

The first of the Huling name to which the family can trace is Thomas Paul Fredrick, Marquis de Hulingues, a nobleman of the South of France. He, in April, 1572, accompanied Prince Henry to Paris to be present at nuptials of the Prince with Marguerite de Valois, daughter of the cruel Catherine de Medici on August 18, 1572.
He witnessed the massacre of St. Bartholomew, and all of the personal attendants of Prince Henry. The Marquis de Hulingues was the only one who escaped with his life. He had previously defended a Catholic soldier, and through gratitude the soldier aided him in his escape. After various perils he succeeded in reaching Dieppe. Here he was soon joined by his betrothed wife, Isabella de Portal, who, although a protégé and maid of honor to Queen Catherine, was a member of one of those old French families of Lauguedoc, descended from the Albigiois, whose war cry and armorial device, "Arnot nos ultio regnum," was renowned through Southern France and whose name is inscribed in the Book of the Capitols which, like the Golden Book of Venice, contained the names of all the patrician families of ancient nobility. She was a native of Toulouse and was rescued, by caprice of Catherine, from the fate of her once powerful but now persecuted family. The Marquis and Lady Isabella were privately married at Dieppe and sailed for England, but fearful of pursuit, and the weather being stormy, they landed on the Danish coast, whence they went to Sweden (Gothenberg). Their grandson Lars Huling was one of a group of Hugenots who came to America in 1640. [Allison Genealogy]
