history

Remains of the Braida castle: the tower of Corneliano d'Alba

The Counts Braida of Ronsecco and Cornigliano are an old family, originally from Savoy, who can be traced back to the Aleramides . Aleramo I, Conte di Savona (Aledram di Vado) † 995, was Duke in Saxony and cousin and father-in-law of Emperor Otto I , who gave him the Duchy of Montferrat . Aleramos great-grandson Raimund (Raimondo), from the dynasty of the Margraves of Savona and Saluzzo , belonged to parts of Saluzzo, the city and the area of Bra (Piedmont) , from which he and his descendants had taken the name "Braida". The dispute over sovereignty and the wars under Emperor Friedrich Barbarossa forced Otto Heinrich (Oddo Enrico) Marchese di Braida i Cornigliano, Centallo and Racconigi to cede to Adelasia von Salluzzo (before 1200).

The family branched out into several lines in what is now Italy. Own coats of arms were carried. For example, one can find descendants of Odo di Braida di Molioterno (* 1269), married to Odolina D'Aimone d'Aquino, in Corneliano . In 1608 the last "Dominus von Corneliano", Count Francesco de Brayda de 'Signori di Corneliano et Podestà di Bagnasco, died there (coat of arms described below).

The full Italian title is: conti di Ronsecco; signori di Brondello, Casalgrasso, Cervere, Corneliano, La Morra, Monforte, Piobesi, Pollenzo, Racconigi, Ronsecco, Ruffia, Sanfrè, Verduno; consignori di Casalvolone, Castellar, Ceresole e Palermo .

Besso di Braida married Lucretia, heiress of the Counts of Ronsecco , whose name he took on. His son Johann († November 12, 1632), Grand Chancellor and Senate President under Karl Emanuel von Savoyen , had 14 children, of whom three sons, Johann, Franz and Julian, entered Austrian service. Julian, the imperial general, married Juliana, the heir to the Baron von Mers, which brought him several estates in Silesia. After he had received the incolate in Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia from Emperor Leopold I in 1669 , he bought the rulership of Ratschitz in the Brno district in 1670 . He was raised to the status of count in hereditary terms with a diploma dated December 10, 1674. Martha Maria widowed Baroness von Blier, née Countess von Braida, bought the Selletitz estate in the Znojmo district in 1663 . Remarried as Baroness von Portenau, she sold the property four years later to the family of the Counts of Berchtold , who in 1711 also acquired the Zerotitz and Wainitz estates from Martha Maria's heirs . Karel Antonín Graf Braida sold Ratschitz in 1800.

The family in Moravia also owned the lordships and estates of Morkowitz, Schlappanitz, Gifikowitz, Traubek, Weiss-Oehlhütten, Czekin, Klein-Pentschitz and Lhota-Zabecny, but in 1899 the family in Moravia was unmarried from the former property. She has owned the Austrian Sitzenthal Castle since 1897 .

coat of arms

Depiction of the full coat of arms on the 1608 memorial stone of Conte Francesco Brayda de 'Signori di Corneliano
Coat of arms of the Counts of Breida in the Register of Arms of the Austrian Monarchy (1835)

Three rafters are fixed as the coat of arms of the family coat of arms, but the colors of the shield and the rafters are indicated differently. Some paint the shield silver, the rafters blue. Others, for example Heinrich Kadich von Pferd and Konrad Blažek , the shield blue and the rafters silver.

A memorial stone of Francesco De Brayda (Conte Francesco Brayda de 'Signori di Corneliano et Podestà di Bagnasco) from 1608 shows the coat of arms of the Brayda (Braida) as follows: three rafters in the shield. A growing Fortuna on the helmet with helmet covers as a crest ornament . The blazon of the associated portrayal of Giuseppe Croce: three blue rafters in silver. On the helmet with blue-silver helmet covers a blue clad Fortuna growing. Panier over the helmet: "Bien faire passe tout". The proportions and ornamentation of this depiction are an early testimony to the "heraldic decay".

With the Austrian approval for the continuation of the count's status, the descendants of Count Ludwig Braida zu Vienna were given the following coat of arms on June 17, 1836: square and topped with a red-silver split bar, this topped with a silver heart shield , in it three blue rafters ( family coat of arms ). Field 1 in red shows a retrospective silver lion, field 2 red without a picture, between these two fields a golden middle field is covered with two black bars, field 3 black without a picture, field 4 split by red and gold six times. The count's crown rests on the shield.

According to Ernst Heinrich Kneschke , the increased coat of arms (in Austria) is described with this blazon and therefore represented in different ways: A main shield squared by a wide cross band, in which a broad stake is inserted between the two fields of the upper part, with a central shield. The main shield has seven fields, of which the stake is the second and the bandage is the fourth and fifth. Three blue rafters standing one above the other in the silver central shield. 1 in red a silver inward-facing lion; 2 in gold two black crossbars; 3 red, 4 blue, 5 and 6 black, all without picture, and 7 streaked with red and gold six times the length. The crown of the count covers the shield.
