The Comte de Schomberg (afterwards Duke), and his youngest son Charles, were probably naturalized in 1673, when it was proposed that they should be admitted into the English army. The surname is properly Schonberg. The French form, Schomberg, belongs to them as Protestant exiles from France.[1] The Marquis De Ruvigny, his wife, and his sons, Henri (afterwards Earl of Galway), and Pierre, Sieur de La Caillemotte, had lettres de naturalité in England, granted by Charles II. before 1680.
I have found no record of the naturalizations of the Marquis de Mircmont and his comrades.

- ↑ Schomberg is the French form of the German name Schonberg, and the form adopted by all our historians; their usage the Author of a Huguenot Memorial volume is not called upon to abandon. The German and French pronunciations must have been almost identical. The German pronunciation of the first syllable is Shon (the c being mute), not unlike the French prefix champ, in which we see the shape of M, but hear the sound of N (c having the sound of s, and p being mute). The name was known in France before our hero’s days.
In much more ancient times Schomberg, Due d'Hallvin, a Roman Catholic, was a marshal of France. To the same family belonged Gaspard Schomberg, Comte de Nanteuil, who contributed to the accession of Henri IV. to the throne by drafting the plan of an accommodation with the factious party of the League.
The Protestant Schombergs were a distant branch of the family, settled in the Diocese of Treves on the Rhine.
