Who was the last/is the current count of Orsay?

Upvote:1

The last countess of Orsay was Antonia Gabrielle Léontine de Gramont, daughter of Ida d'Orsay and grand-daughter of Jean François Louis Marie Albert Gaspard Grimod, the third count of Orsay.

Indeed, when Ida d'Orsay died in 1882, her only still-living child was Antonia Gabrielle Léontine de Gramont who left no descendance.

Moreover, Ida d'Orsay and Alfred Guillaume Gabriel Grimod d'Orsay were the only children of the only child of Pierre Gaspard Marie Grimod d'Orsay who was himself the only child of the first count of Orsay.

As a consequence, as far as I understand, the maison d'Orsay has died out.

Edit. Crucially, Alfred was the only surviving child of the third count (apart from Ida) and had no descendance.
