Part of the [[Black nobility|black nobility]], the family was elevated to princely status, as the Princes of [[Cerveteri]], by [[Pope Clement XI]] in 1709. In 1721, the family was elevated to the status of [[Prince of the Holy Roman Empire|Roman princes]] in the [[Papal States]]. The head of the family traditionally serves in the [[Pontifical Household]] as the [[Grand Master of the Sacred Apostolic Hospice]].
== History == The origins of the family can be traced back to the Ruspoli of Florence in the 13th century, and more remotely from Marius Scotus in the 8th century and his descendants the Marescotti of [[Bologna]]. In the 16th century, the Ruspoli family moved to Rome, where the last descendant, Vittoria Ruspoli, Marchioness of [[Cerveteri]], married Sforza Vicino Marescotti, Count of [[Vignanello]], a descendant of the [[Farnese family]] on both his mother's and father's side. One of Vittoria's sons took the Ruspoli name and coat of arms to guarantee the continuity of the house.
In 1708, Vittoria's grandson, [[Francesco Maria Marescotti Ruspoli, 1st Prince of Cerveteri|Francesco Marescotti Ruspoli]], head of the [[Ruspoli Regiment]], fought to defend the [[Papal States]]. In 1709, he forced the Austrians to retreat, and [[Pope Clement XI]] named him the first Prince of Cerveteri. This title would then pass down to the first-born son of each generation. The papal title of Roman Prince was later conferred in 1721, and it is also held by the first-born son of each generation.
Since 1808, the head of the family also served as [[Grand Master of the Sacred Apostolic Hospice]], which was an hereditary official of the [[Pontifical Household]]. He was a Participating Privy Chamberlain and the sole lay member of the Noble Privy Antechamber, as well as a Participating Privy Chamberlain of the Sword and Cape (who were all laymen, traditionally holding hereditary posts). The post was removed in the reforms of the [[Papal Curia]] after 1968, leaving just the honorific title.
=== The Ruspoli origins=== There are traces of members of the Ruspoli family from the 13th century on tombstones in the churches of [[Ognisanti]] and of Santa Maria Novella in [[Florence]].
Some of its members, in chronological order:<ref>{{citation | url = http://www.sforzaruspoli.it/secoli/ruspoli_xiii_secolo.html | title = Family tree | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110722052932/http://www.sforzaruspoli.it/secoli/ruspoli_xiii_secolo.html | archive-date = 2011-07-22 }}</ref>
* Lorenzo Ruspoli – Florentine noble — lived in the early 13th century. * Neri Ruspoli – chief [[Guelphs and Ghibellines|Ghibellin]] – in 1266 the [[Guelphs and Ghibellines|Guelphs]] burned down his house in Florence. * Ser Bonaccorso Ruspoli — [[Notary public|notary]] in Florence and Ghino Ruspoli — lived in 1304 * Roberto Ruspoli — lived mid-14th century * Giovanni Ruspoli – born in 1363 – [[Gonfaloniere of Justice|Gonfaloniere]] and [[Prior (ecclesiastical)|prior]] in 1391 — built the Gentilizia chapel in Ognissanti Church. * Roberto Ruspoli and Zanobi Ruspoli – lived in 1391 * Lorenzo Ruspoli – born in 1384 – [[Praetor]] of [[Begonia]] in 1432 — [[Praetor]] of [[Piccioli]] in 1460 – [[Gonfaloniere of Florence]] * Giovanni Ruspoli – born on April 25, 1420 – Buried in Ognissanti — marries 1) Maddalena Buti 2) Bartolomea Paffi * Lorenzo Ruspoli – born in 1460 – took part in many the travels of [[Amerigo Vespucci]] – marries Alessandra da Magguale
It is Bartolomeo, son of the above-mentioned Lorenzo, that the family moved away from the imperial [[Guelphs and Ghibellines|Ghibellines]] and came closer to the Vatican State in Rome.
'''Bartolomeo Ruspoli''' was born in Florence in 1496. He formed a business partnerships with the [[House of Altoviti|Altoviti family]], who were influential wool traders and bankers. In 1529 Bartolomeo travelled to Rome where he married Maria Ardinghelli niece of Cardinal Niccolò [[Ardinghelli]], an influential member of the [[Farnese fraction]] and an intimate associate of Alessandro Farnese, future [[Pope Paul III]]. The Ruspoli were thus integrated into the [[Roman Curia]] and the papal court, and Bartolomeo's children, both sons and daughters, were all married into families of the Roman nobility: [[Muti (surname)|Muti]], [[Cavalieri]] and [[Floridi]].<ref name="Dean_Lowe">Trevor Dean, K. J. P. Lowe, ''Marriage in Italy, 1300-1650'', Cambridge University Press 1998, page 207</ref> In 1531 Bartolomeo Ruspoli was named Petitioner of the apostolic letters by [[Pope Clement VII]]. In 1535 he was made Prior of Florence.
Gradually, and certainly by the 17th century, the Ruspoli had lost their identity as Florentine merchants and bankers, referring to themselves exclusively as Roman nobles.<ref name="Dean_Lowe"/>
=== The Marescotti origins=== [[Image:Marius Scotus.jpg|thumb|right|350px|Old painting of Marius Scotus]] According to the Marescotti-Ruspoli archive and as often seen on various family trees and reported on the official "Libro d'oro della Nobiltà Italiana" published by the Collegio Araldico, the origins of the Marescotti can be traced back to '''Marius Scotus''' born in [[Galloway]] in south west [[Scotland]] in the 8th century.<ref>Almanach de Gotha: ''annuaire généalogique, diplomatique et statistique'', Justus Perthes, 1926</ref><ref>Leo S. Olschki, ''Archivio Storico Italiano'', Deputazione toscana, 1875</ref>
In the year 773 king [[Charlemagne]] started a military campaign against the [[Lombards]] in Italy, because they were not respecting an agreement made with [[Pepin the Short]] to give part of their land to the state of the Church. He asked for help from king of [[Dál Riata]] (Western Scotland) Eochaid IV.<ref>The king in question was more probably [[Áed Find]]. It seems there might have been some confusion during the middle ages on the rulers of Dalriata.</ref> The latter asked his cousin Count William of [[Clan Douglas|Douglas]] to recruit and bring to France a brigade of 4,000 men, which he did. But soon thereafter he had to return to Scotland to govern [[Clan Douglas|the family clan]], leaving his command to his younger brother Marius Douglas, who at the time was described as courageous, tall, strong and with a reddish beard.<ref>Galeazzo Ruspoli, ''I Ruspoli'', Gremese Editore, 2001. page 10</ref>
The army of the [[Franks]] crossed the Alps and took base in the Benedictine [[Abbey of Novalesa]], in the high valley of [[Dora Riparia]]. Mario Scoto, as he was known in Italy, discovered a small path through forests between the mountains which was absolutely unusable by the army, but perfect for the Scottish highlanders. After walking quietly for three days along the path, Mario Scoto and his men attacked the [[Lombards]] by surprise from the back, while king [[Charlemagne]] attacked with the cavalry from the front. It was a major victory for the Franks which marked the decline of the Lombards in Italy.
In the spring of the following year, [[Pope Adrian I]] and the king decided to meet. With a small escort, amongst whom Mario Scoto was present, Charlemagne travelled the ancient [[via Cassia]] to [[Saint Peter's Basilica]] where he was received and blessed by the pope. Mario Scoto was Catholic as were the majority of Scottsmen at the time and at the service of his king became himself a defender of the Faith. He became an appreciated military advisor and distinguished himself in the Spanish campaign and in the battle against the Saxons at the confluence of the Weser with the Aller in which of the 5,000 Saxons, only the 500 who chose to be baptised were spared their lives.
Towards the end of the century Mario Scoto retired from the army, married an Italian noblewoman called Marozia and, for his devotion to the pope, settled in Rome where he was granted the honor to escort the pope. He was therefore present when in April 799 [[Pope Leo III]] was assaulted and kidnapped near the church of San Lorenzo in Lucina. Mario Scoto was able to find the pope in a monastery on the [[Aventine Hill]] and rescued him and returned him to his throne at the Holy See. The scene was later painted in Bologna by [[Giuseppe Antonio Caccioli]]. [[File:Arms of the house of Marescotti.svg|thumb|''Mariscotti'' Coat of Arms]] On Christmas Day 800 Mario Scoto was invested Count of Bagnacavallo in [[Romagna]] and was granted the privilege to adorn his family crest, which already had the rampant leopard of Scotland, with the three [[Fleur-de-lis#Royal symbolism|fleur-de-lis]], characteristic symbol of the French kings.
The family still conserves an old portrait of a soldier with the following encryption in Latin: "Marius de Calveis, Scotus, Carl Mag M Dux Familiam Marescotti Fundavit ANN D. DCCC" (Marius of Galloway, Scottish, military commander under Charlemagne, founder of the Marescotti family. AD 800)
In the 9th century the Marescotti people (name derived from Mario Scoto) carried the title of counts of Bagnacavallo, a large fiefdom between the Lamone and Savio rivers. Charlemagne had received vast lands in the Bologna area and had later distributed them, as was the custom in those days, to the veterans of his army.

Alberto Marescotti son of Ugolino was Consul of Bologna, Captain general of the infantry of Bologna, then took Faenza in 1281 and regained Imola in 1290.
===From Renaissance to Enlightment=== The navy commander Fabrizio Ruspoli son of Bartolomeo Ruspoli and Maria Ardinghelli distinguished himself in the [[Battle of Lepanto (1571)|Battle of Lepanto]]. The Ottomans lost all but 30 of its ships and as many as 30,000 men, a decisive victory for Christianity and a strategic military one, that marked the start of the decline of the Ottoman's power in the Mediterranean. The Christians attributed the victory to the protection of the Virgin Mary, whom they had invoked by reciting the Rosary, and [[Pope Pius V]] instituted a feast in its honor as [[Our Lady of the Rosary|Our Lady of Victory]].
Orazio Ruspoli, brother of Fabrizio, became a successful banker and was then named magistrate of the colleges in 1557. Together with his third brother Alessandro he started the [[Banco Ruspoli]] in [[Siena]] and the family became very wealthy. Orazio married Felice Cavalieri and had two children.
Lorenzo Ruspoli, their cousin, was in the wool trade and also became a successful banker in [[Florence]] and then Consul.<ref>Louis Alexander Waldman, ''Baccio Bandinelli, At The Medici Court'' Diane 2004</ref> he then married lady Maria di Bernardo Franceschi and had two children; Antonio and Francesco (born August 20, 1579). The latter became a published satirical poet.<ref>Stefano Rosselli, ''Poesie di Francesco Ruspoli'', Andrea Cavalcanti, 1882</ref><ref>Giovanni Battista Ricciardi, ''Rime burlesche, edite ed inedite'', Toci Ettore, 1881</ref>
Vittoria Ruspoli, daughter of Orazio and Felice Cavalieri, married in 1617 Sforza Vicino Marescotti, Count of Vignanello, Lord of Parrano, Roman noble and Patrizio of Bologna, Magistrate of Conservatori of Bologna in 1632 and Conservatore di Roma in 1654. Vittoria's brother, Bartolomeo Ruspoli after acquiring the fiefdom of the Marquis of Cerveteri and in Rome the Palace on the Ara Coeli, having no children of his own donated everything to the heirs of her sister. [[File:Family Tree Farnese-Ruspoli.jpg|thumb|280x280px]] Vittoria's husband, Sforza Vicino, descended from the Farnese family from both his mother's and his father's side (see the image on the right). From his father's side he inherited the fiefdom of Vignanello (from the wedding between Sfortia Marescotti and Ortesia Farnese Countess of Vignanello). His grandmother was Giulia Farnese. The entire branch of the Farnese (Dukes of Latera) became extinct and the descendants of the Marescottis (later called Ruspolis by will of Vittoria Ruspoli) kept the fiefdom and the [[Castello Ruspoli]] in [[Vignanello]] up to our days.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.minorsights.com/2015/08/italy-castello-ruspoli.html|title=Castello Ruspoli|access-date= 1 September 2015 |publisher=Minor Sights}}</ref>
Meanwhile, Clarice born March 6, 1585, sister of Sforza Vicino Marescotti, became a nun in the convent of San Bernardino in [[Viterbo]] with the name of [[Hyacintha Mariscotti|Sister Giacinta]]. She was canonized Saint by [[Pope Pius VII]] in 1807.
Her feast is celebrated on January 30.
[[Galeazzo Marescotti]], son of Sforza Vicino and Vittoria was elected cardinal by [[Pope Clement X]].

In 1695 he married lady Isabella Cesi, daughter of Giuseppe Angelo, fifth Duke of [[Acquasparta]] and Giacinta Conti of the Dukes of [[Poli, Italy|Poli]] and [[Guadagnolo]] (sister of [[Pope Innocent XIII]]).
Francesco Maria appreciated and helped the development of [[Academy of Arcadia]] of which he was a member under the pseudonym Olinto. He was the first patron to welcome them in one of his villas on Via Merulana. The first volume of the ''Rime degli Arcadi'' was dedicated to Francesco Maria.<ref>{{citation | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=uzQZAAAAMAAJ&q=%22Rime+degli+Arcadi%22+ruspoli | first = Enzo | last = Esposito | title = Early printed books | publisher = L.

Between 1709 and 1716 he was succeeded as ''[[Kapellmeister]]'' by [[Antonio Caldara]].
Cardinal [[Galeazzo Marescotti]] watched over his beloved nephew. The cardinal had a precise plan: to persuade the pope to elevate the title of the fiefdom of Cerveteri from marquis to prince.<ref name="Ruspoli_2001">Galeazzo Ruspoli, ''I Ruspoli'', Gremese Editore, 2001</ref> Other Roman noble families such as the [[Aldobrandini family|Aldobrandini]], Boncompagni, [[House of Borghese|Borghese]] and [[Erba-Odescalchi]] were made princes by their respective popes. The Ruspolis did not have a pope and it was necessary to make a munificent gesture and to acquire particular merits with the [[Holy See]].<ref name="Ruspoli_2001" /> In 1707 the cardinal persuaded his nephew to arm a [[brig]] to donate to the Holy See. The modern hull with wide sails was delivered in [[Civitavecchia]]. Handel had composed for the occasion a choral of white voices on a text greeting the pope king. But that was not enough to elevate Cerveteri to a principality.
In 1708 Francesco Maria created the [[Ruspoli Regiment]] at his own expense. Formed by nearly 1,000 men, the regiment enjoyed some minor victories, until 1709 when in [[Ferrara]] thanks to a superior armament they were able to push the Austrians back to the north of the [[Po River]]. A great victory for which on February 3, 1709, full of gratitude, [[Pope Clement XI]] elevated Cerveteri to a [[Principality]].
In 1710 Prince Francesco Maria Marescotti Ruspoli acquired the fiefdom of [[Riano, Italy|Riano]] where he enriched the town with privileges and public works.
In 1713 he acquired the fiefdom of [[San Felice Circeo]] which then passed in 1718 to his daughter's husband, Filippo Orsini.
Still in 1713 Francesco Maria bought the [[Palazzo Ruspoli]] in Rome from the Caetani who had charged [[Martino Longhi the Younger]] to build the sumptuous loggia on the courtyard and the famous staircase, one of the [[four wonders of Rome]].
In 1721 [[Pope Benedict XIII]] conferred to Francesco Maria the title of ''Principe Romano'', for himself and his descendants, ''ad infinitum'' so the family could conserve the prestige of its ancestors.<ref>Gaetano Moroni, ''Dizionario di erudizione storico-ecclesiastica da s. Pietro sino ai nostri giorni'', Tipografia Emiliana, 1846</ref>
[[Pope Benedict XIII]] then came to [[Vignanello]] in 1725 to solemnly consecrate the new parish church built by the will of Prince Francesco Maria.
In 1792 [[Francesco Ruspoli, 3rd Prince of Cerveteri]] was created [[Princes of the Holy Roman Empire|Prince of the Holy Roman Empire]] by the Emperor [[Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor|Francis II]].
Today Prince Francesco Ruspoli, 10th Prince of Cerveteri is the head of the House of Ruspoli and resident in Palazzo Ruspoli in Rome.
