• Croatian nobility intermarriage

    From Paulo Ricardo Canedo@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 19 17:24:59 2021
    Are there any cases of Croatian nobility marrying other European nobility? I haven't found any though I don't know where to look.

    Also the Erdődy family, Hungarian but including at least one ban of
    Croatia, and the Frankopani (or in western Europe Frangipani) family.

    I may be wrong (in my previous post) about where the Odescalchi
    originated, but they were certainly associated with Croatia over centuries.

    For starters, the family of Pope Innocent XI (Odescalchi) originated in
    Croatia and are long-established in Italy, marrying there and no doubt
    beyond since the 17th century - very probably in Austria-Hungary too.

    I knew about that case. Did the foreign Bans of Croatia ever marry their daughters with Croatian nobles?

    Why not? I was offering you a starting point, as requested, not
    proposing a research effort on my own part. Most of the "foreign" bans
    or dukes would have been mature men already married when they came to
    power in Croatia.

    To give an instance of a Croatian princess marrying outside Catholic
    Europe after the Great Schism:

    in the mid-12th century a daughter of Belush, ban of Croatia, married
    Vladimir III Mstislavich, grand prince of Kiev.

    To give a few instances the other way round, of Croatian rulers marrying "foreigners" (a notion that was somewhat different in medieval Croatia
    from the sense it may carry in modern Portugal):

    Zvonimir Dmitar, king of Croatia and Dalmatia in the late-11th century
    married Jelena, daughter of Bela I, king of Hungary

    Stefan Kotromanič, ban of Croatia in the mid-14th century, married a
    Polish princess.

    in the late-15th century Stefan Frangepan married a widowed countess of
    Urbino whose father was Niccolo d'Este, marquis of Modena.

    Thanks for this, Peter. The reason I asked this is I have found it hard to find Charlemagne lines to Croatia. We should note Croatia became subject to Hungary at the end of the 11th century. It was later devastated in the Hundred Years'Croatian-Ottoman
    War.


    It turns out that my first instance above is misleading, since Belush
    was actually not a Croatian but a Serbian. Marshal Tito may have been
    pleased by this, if few of his nationality would be today.

    I didn't realise this was your chase - I don't read through every SGM post.

    A reasonably likely place to start searching for conduits of Carolingian ancestry to the eastern side of the Adriatic would be the Angevins of
    Naples.

    You may find some useful lead in this book (though I recommend caution
    with unverifiable claims):
    https://books.google.com.au/books?id=dkXoQAAACAAJ.

    Whatever else you find, it seems highly likely to me that Carolingian
    blood would have entered Croatia by the late medieval period through
    Hungarian and Slovene connections that were more integrated with western European lineages. Kings of Hungary married several women from Germany,
    France and other western parts, and these princesses surely brought
    lesser noble ladies with them who would have married locally.

    Also the rulers of Istria and Carniola from the early 11th century were originally from Weimar - the first of them, Poppo I, married a daughter
    of Wezellin, count of Istria; their son Udalrich I (died 1070) married a daughter of Béla I of Hungary, a descendant of Charlemagne.

    Peter Stewart

    That hinges on Gisela's daughter Judith having married Adalbert of Thurgau. How likely do you find that?

    Not very likely, but that isn't the connection route I had in mind
    before checking.

    We know that the mother-in-law of Burkhard II of Swabia (mother of the double-duchess Reginlind and ancestor of the Polish wife of Béla I of
    Hungary) was named Gisla. In her time this is usually if not invariably
    a signifier of Carolingian ancestry. She may have been a niece of king
    Berengar I, but if so I think his sister Judith (if indeed she ever
    married) is not the most plausible sibling as candidate for this Gisla's parent.

    We don't know the name of the daughter of Berengar's elder brother
    Unruoch III of Friuli who was kidnapped from her convent and forced to
    marry a nephew of the arch-chancellor bishop Liutward of Vercelli - it
    is fairly likely, as the only recorded child and potential heiress of
    Unruoch, that she was named after her paternal grandmother, an imperial princess; and it has been speculated that she was later married to
    Walfrid, count of Verona, who occurs as marquis of Friuli. Walfrid may
    have been the father of Reginlind, though there is no certainty about this.

    Let's cut to the chase, Peter: Is there any plausible descent from Charlemagne for most or all Croats? Is there any couple through who such a descent could come?

    I didn't realise this was your chase - I don't read through every SGM post.

    A reasonably likely place to start searching for conduits of Carolingian
    ancestry to the eastern side of the Adriatic would be the Angevins of
    Naples.

    Thanks.

    I said "cut to the chase" as I hadn't been outspoken about what I was actually looking for.

    Thanks for this. Regardless, how was Béla I descended from Charlemagne? I don't see such a line.
    Not Béla - I meant his daughter was a descendant of Charlemagne, through >> her Polish mother, but on looking more carefully I see that this is
    uncertain. The questionable link is Reginlind, wife of Burkhard II of
    Swabia, who may (or may not) have been a great-granddaughter of Louis
    I's daughter Gisla.

    Peter Stewart

    That hinges on Gisela's daughter Judith having married Adalbert of Thurgau. How likely do you find that?
    Not very likely, but that isn't the connection route I had in mind
    before checking.

    We know that the mother-in-law of Burkhard II of Swabia (mother of the double-duchess Reginlind and ancestor of the Polish wife of Béla I of Hungary) was named Gisla. In her time this is usually if not invariably
    a signifier of Carolingian ancestry. She may have been a niece of king Berengar I, but if so I think his sister Judith (if indeed she ever
    married) is not the most plausible sibling as candidate for this Gisla's parent.

    We don't know the name of the daughter of Berengar's elder brother
    Unruoch III of Friuli who was kidnapped from her convent and forced to
    marry a nephew of the arch-chancellor bishop Liutward of Vercelli - it
    is fairly likely, as the only recorded child and potential heiress of Unruoch, that she was named after her paternal grandmother, an imperial princess; and it has been speculated that she was later married to
    Walfrid, count of Verona, who occurs as marquis of Friuli. Walfrid may
    have been the father of Reginlind, though there is no certainty about this.

    Thanks.
