Live and act

Count Franz III. Nádasdy was of two-fold royal descent. It was derived from the English royal dynasty of the Anjou Plantagenet . A son of King Edward I , who ruled from 1272 to 1307, settled in Hungary as the ancestor of the Nadasd. Francis III was the grandson of Baron Franz Nádasdy von Fogarasföld (1555-1604), the black knight , fighter against the Turks. The grandmother Elisabeth Báthory came from the noble family of the Báthory .

On November 25, 1643 Nádasdy converted to Catholicism, the religion of the Habsburg emperor Ferdinand III. , also King of Hungary, a prerequisite for the wedding with Countess Anna Juliana Esterházy, the daughter of the palatine Count Nikolaus Esterházy on February 6, 1644.

After the Hungarian Diet in Pressburg had decided the return of the Hornstein County to the Kingdom of Hungary , Franz III. Count Nádasdy expelled the baron Rudolf von Stotzingen from his mercenaries on September 26, 1647 . A Hungarian court pronounced Franz III. on June 3, 1648 the rule against a payment of 150,000  guilders , Rudolf von Stotzingen received the amount in 1650.

The Hornstein landlord, Count Franz III. Nádasdy put today's settlement Neufeld (Neufeld an der Leitha) on a rule width ( boundary of the desolate place Ungerdorf). The earliest new field consisted of a fort , a rural part and a Judenstadtl and was designed as a Schmalanger village and also served as a border post on the now Hungarian side of the Leitha .

After the victory of the Christian troops over the Ottoman Turks near Mogersdorf with the participation of Hungarian units, the Peace of Eisenburg was concluded. This armistice left the Ottomans dominant in Hungary, which was viewed by many Hungarians as a betrayal of the emperor and led to the magnate conspiracy . On July 28, 1666, Nádasdy joined the magnate conspiracy with the aim of gaining the dignity of the palatine . As early as 1667 he was at the head of the conspiratorial secret society. In 1670, after six years of preparation, the armed rebellion was dared, with practically no support from foreign powers. However, this was immediately put down, and you were well informed of all the steps taken by the conspirators.

As one of the leaders of the magnate uprising, Franz III. arrested after the suppression of the uprising in Pottendorfer Burg and sentenced to death in the subsequent special court chaired by Johann Paul Hocher . The execution by beheading for conspiracy against King and Emperor Leopold I took place on April 30, 1671 in Vienna. The corpse of Franz III. Nádasdys was buried in the Nádasdy parish church Lockenhaus . In Hungary, Franz III. revered as a national hero. The bridge over the Raab near Sárvár is named after him.
