history

Collalto Castle

Believer or compliant genealogists derived the origin of this house from the Lombard kings in Italy, where around 850 as free counts and sovereigns the Treviser Mark (Marca Trevigiana), the castles and towns of Trevigio, Collalto, Cineda etc. a. should have owned. Others gave it, according to the similarity of the name and coat of arms, a common origin with the Hohenzollern (Italian: Alto colle).

The ancestral home of this old family of the Italian nobility was Collalto Castle, located in the Tarviso Mark in Venetian. Since the year 930 (also 953) it derived its descent from Raymbaldus or Rambaldus I, Count of Treviso (Trevigio), a general of the Lombard kings, in uninterrupted order.

Emperor Friedrich I granted Schinella I, Count of Treviso, and his brothers the County of Trevigio in 1155 with confirmation of all freedoms, even with the addition of all jurisdiction, fisheries etc. usual in the Treviso district and exemption of his subjects from other princes jurisdiction. The Counts of Treviso married in the houses of the Marquis of Montferrat , Este , the Princes of Rimini , Carrara and had a splendid palace in Padua .

Rambaldus VIII, Count of Collalto and Treviso, held a high position in the history of his time and his house. Pope Benedict XI. awarded him the dignity of Margrave of Ancona in 1304 , the Republic of Venice accepted him and all his descendants into the noble patricians of Venice in 1306 and awarded him the military medal of honor customary at the time, the Stolla. Frederick the Fair of Austria drew him to his court, made him a Privy Councilor and gave him various fiefs in 1307. Together with his brother Schinella, he first took on the name Collalto, built the castle of St. Salvator (San Salvatore) from scratch on his rule of the same name and at the same time took over the castle of Credazzo with all rights and justice. Emperor Heinrich VII confirmed him in 1312 in the supremacy and complete jurisdiction over the castles Collalto and St. Salvator with all associated market towns and villages "for true knightly family life". In 1319 he became an ardent supporter of the House of Habsburg and, as the supreme general of Treviso, rendered the most important services to the region, although his wife was a Clara de Camino from the princely house of Ceneda, who freed him from the tyranny of the Counts of Camino. The family added the name of a founder (testator) and funder to him because he determined his lordships Collalto, St. Salvator, Credazzo, etc. with the imperial approval in 1323 by will in a will for a permanent entails for his descendants.

Count Rambold XIII. von Collalto (1579–1630), field marshal
Pirnitz Castle

Rambold XIII., Count of Collalto zu San Salvatore, Herr zu Ray (September 21, 1579 - November 18, 1630) became President of the Court War Council on July 31, 1624 and Imperial Field Marshal on September 20, 1625 and General on May 31, 1628 (GOL ) during the Thirty Years' War and in 1610 by Emperor Ferdinand II also raised to the rank of German Count. At that time he acquired the dominions of Pirnitz , Tscherna and Deutschrudoletz in Moravia, which he donated on June 5, 1628 to entail his house, the head of which has since been based in Vienna. His direct descendants died out with his grandson Leopold Adolf Rambold in 1706, when his brother Peter Roland's grandson, Anton Rambold (* 1681), kk Real Privy Councilor and ambassador in Rome, became the heir of all Collaltic estates in Italy and Austria. The family acquired the Bohemian Incolat on June 9, 1707 in Vienna , confirmed on March 10, 1781.

On March 6, 1781, Anton Oktavian and his descendants were elevated to the status of Austrian count in Vienna.

The award of the Austrian prince status for Odoardo Count von Collalto ( Primogenitur with "Hochgeboren") took place on November 22, 1822 in Vienna. As one of the 16 non- mediatized royal houses, the family had a hereditary seat (at Fideikommiss Pirnitz) in the manor house , the upper house of the Austrian Imperial Council since it was founded on April 18, 1861. The family resided in Palais Collalto in Vienna.

On May 20, 1905 in Bad Ischl and by ministerial confirmation document of April 24, 1906, the Austrian title "Highness" was awarded.

With the Nobility Repeal Act of 1919, the family in Austria was forced to use the surname "Collalto", but on October 12, 1940 the royal Italian confirmation of the prince's status took place.

The later born bear the name Graf or Countess of Collalto and San Salvatore and are patricians of Venice with the predicates "Nobil Uomo" or "Nobile Donna" and "Don" or "Donna".
