Ursel is the name of a Belgian noble family. Members carry the title of duke or count.
History
The Ursel family roots are in Schmalkalden, Germany, and it originally had the name Schetz. In the late 15th century, some members moved to Hasselt and Antwerp. Gaspar Schetz (1513-1580) married Catherine van Ursel. Their children started carrying the name 'van Ursel' after an adoption by their mother's family.
