The House of Monpezat (French pronunciation:[mɔ̃.pə.za]) is a French old bourgeois family from the province of Béarn associated with the Danish royal family by marriage after 1967, when Henri de Laborde de Monpezat wed Princess Margrethe of Denmark, then the heir presumptive of the ruling House of Glücksburg, who was subsequently the Queen of Denmark as Margrethe II. The current Danish monarch, King Frederik X is agnatically a Laborde de Monpezat.
Its members owned three homes and farms in Monpezat and Beaufranc in Béarn that were declared "noble lands" by letters of 1655, but the Laborde family was denied twice in 1703 and 1707 to be admitted with the nobility at the Estates of Béarn. Admission into the Estates of Béarn was a necessary condition to be recognized as noble in Béarn.[3]
French historians and most recent reference authors, specialists of the French nobility, do not consider that the Laborde de Monpezat family belongs to the French nobility.[3][4]
