According to family tradition, the family is of German origin and the ancestors of this house were Burgraves of the Castle of Altena. This fact is not certain, but it is worth noting that the family already claimed in the Middle Ages the coats of arms of the noble family of Altena (two averted salmons). The first Borchgraves acted as public servants of the city of Den Bosch. After the Reformation, the family moved to the Southern Netherlands.
In 1816, the family de Borchgrave d'Altena was admitted in the nobility of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands with the title of count.[2] The Dutch branch is extinct, but the Walloon branch is still very much alive.
