Notes

It is a kind of additional guarantee. Based on the documents presented, the ancien régime nobility of a person is confirmed, but in the situation where the authority nevertheless raises certain questions about the quality of previous nobility, it adds that, insofar as necessary, the nobility is also conceded, for the case it would appear later that the confirmation was based on insufficiently reliable data. This has been encountered on several occasions. Indeed a concession of nobility made under the old regime, sometimes lent the flank to doubts. If it had been conceded by the Holy Roman Empire, had it or not been confirmed by the Heraldic Chamber of the Austrian Netherlands, failing which it would not be valid, ditto for the concessions granted by one or the another head of one of the small German states, or by the king of France or Spain. In order to avoid both the impetrant and the conceding authority any disappointment, it was therefore a way of guaranteeing the state of nobility by adding this "if necessary ".
