History

They lived until 1620 in Var[3] in the cities of Brignoles and Signes where several generations served as Captain General.[4] Furthermore, Francois de Saboulin Bollena, lord of La Motte-du-Caire, first Consul of the city of Hyères,[5] was a deputy sent from the States of Provence to the Estates-General of the kingdom held at Paris in 1614.[6]

The oldest branch of the family next settled in Marseille. In 1668 they were maintained in there nobility by the commissioner appointed by the King in Provence.[7] Pierre de Saboulin Bollena was ealdorman[8] and distinguished himself by the help he gave to the charities for the Holy Land and for the restoration of the Holy Sepulchre Church in Jerusalem,[9] and Francois de Saboulin Bollena, first ealdorman and Mayor,[10] secretary to the King, House and Crown of France.[11]

They intermarried with the families of Beausset, d'Ortigues, Glandevès, d'Amalric, Pontevès-Maubousquet, Valavoire, Clapiers-Collongues, Robineau de Beaulieu, d'Adaoust, Tressemanes-Simiane, Félix de La Ferratière, Guerrier de Dumast.

They participated in the growth of the shipping industry[12] in Marseille through trade with the ports of the Levant - Chios,[13] Constantinople,[14] Sidon[15] - but also with Tetouan,[16] Morocco. They were the first shipowners to organize maritime trade between Marseilles and the West Indies.[17] The present-day Museum of the Old Marseille one of the oldest houses in the city called the "Maison Diamantée" was the mansion-house of the Saboulin Bollena.[18] Armand de Saboulin Bollena served in the French Navy and was injured during the American Revolutionary War.

A branch of the Saboulin family remained in Bayonne,[19] during the 17th[20] and 18th[21] centuries, from which came several generations of corsairs,[22] one of them Michel de Saboulin migrated to Martinique at the end of the 18th century. Jean de Saboulin was a deputy representing the nobility at the General Assembly of the State of the Basque Country in 1789.[23]

Since the second part of the 18th century the family was settled in Nice and Aix-en-Provence,[24] where the oldest branch lived in the castle of Lanfant near Luynes.[25] Other branches lived in Barjac, Lozère at the castle of La Vigne,[26] and in Vannes, Brittany.
