It's von Fürstenberg, not zu Fürstenberg. 100% positive. the Princely family zu Fürstenberg is an entirely different branch than the one you are attempting to talk about.
Matilde was not EVER a Countess. Her mother is. Matilde is a Donna (the Italian equal to Lady).
And her name is not Mathilde, but Matilde.
Guess what: another strike out for Marcia -- the Princely family of Fürstenberg is zu not von. You are 100% wrong about zu Fürstenberg.
http://haus-fuerstenberg.de/familie/ which is the official site. Various cards that I have received from the family - use zu Fürstenberg. You might want to invest in the Handbuch des Adels ... the designer Diane von Fürstenberg uses the von, rather than zu .. but the official is the zu ... Antonius's own family describes Mathilde as a Countess (Gräfin), which is what I believe was also on the fair parte.
haha Marcia is wrong a lot but thinks she is the be all, end all expert of all things royal.
'Zu' is actually a mark of higher rank than 'von.'
Zu applies to most of the high nobility. 'Von' I think is a mark much more 'common' usually.
She is hardly an expert. She thinks Catherine's title is HRH Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and goes on and on trying to correct people about it. (Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge would indicate that she is either a widow of a peer or the divorced wife of a peer.) Marcia is more of a court jester.
