history

This very old and famous family, originally from the Zrmanja Valley in Croatia, which is said to have flourished very early in Greece, Albania and Bosnia, takes its name from the ancestral castle of Buzin in Bosnia , a formerly considered insurmountable, later Turkish mountain fortress (see below). According to legend, the family was related to the Prince of Montferrat, Alexander Castriotto, who is known under the name of Skanderbeg , King of Albania and Grand Duke of Epirus, the Turkish emperors and the ancient toparch in Albania, Boccali.

The family appears in documents before 1300, namely in the person of Budislaw de genere Percal (Perklye, Porichane), with whom the line of tribe begins. He appears in documents in 1260 with his sons Peter and Jacobus. The sons of Peters I. Percal, Kegel (Cegla) and Martinus, lived around 1338. The older son, Kegel, is the namesake and progenitor of the family, which initially called itself Keglewyth de genere Percal, Porichane, Porichanski . King Ladislaus II of Hungary awarded the castle and rule of Buzin to Johannes Keglewyth de Porichane on May 19, 1494 .

Peter II. Keglevich

Peter II. Keglevich (1478–1554) was characterized by great bravery during the siege of Jaicza in 1525. According to the chroniclers, it was mainly Jaicza's and thus Croatia's liberation from Ottoman rule that was to be thanked, and he was also the Ban of Croatia (1530). His son Matthias Keglevich, who reproduced the family, put down a powerful peasant revolt in Croatia in 1573 and captured the peasant leader, Matthias Gubecz . He also had to answer in court until November 1566, because the Buzin fortress had fallen into the hands of the Ottomans due to his negligence. Although enough money had been provided by the king for a sufficient crew, he had only assigned three men.

Karl Count Keglevich de Buzin

The brothers Georg, Peter, Johannes and Franciscus Keglevich de Buzin received the title of Transylvanian barons in 1602. Matthias' sons split the family into two lines: Johann founded the Croatian line, Georg the Hungarian line. The family succession is now often unmanageable.

Nicholas I acquired the Hungarian baronate in 1646. The younger, Hungarian line received with his son, the imperial-royal chamberlain Nikolaus II. (1636-1701), and the older, Hungarian line with his nephew Peter, also imperial-royal chamberlain, on August 4, 1687 in Vienna from Kaiser Leopold I. the Hungarian count. His grandson Adam (1666; † March 29, 1713) was the Imperial Field Sergeant (May 22, 1708). Peter VI († 1754), from the Croatian line, general field sergeant (May 20, 1708), was deputy to the banal dignity in 1704 and hereditary chief appointee of Posega in 1708 was raised to the rank of count by Emperor Joseph I. During this time and afterwards the family was one of the well-known and honored families of Hungary and Croatia and provided several dignitaries.

In 1742 Adam Kegkevich acquired the Topoľčianky manor and chateau , which remained in the family's possession until 1890.

Johann Nepomuk (see below), acquired the Schönburg Palace in Vienna in 1811 .

coat of arms

Family coat of arms of the Keglevich

The family coat of arms (up to 1494) shows two silver bars in red. On the helmet with red and silver covers a seated golden lion, who holds up a golden sun on a stick in his right hand.

1687 and 1708: shield with shield base. In the blue shield is an upright, shiny sword, on the tip of which stands a count's crown, which is held by two crowned golden lions facing each other, the one on the right with the left, the one on the left with the right forepaw. The red base of the shield is crossed by two silver crossbars. The count's crown lies on the shield, and two crowned helmets rise from it. On each of these stands a crowned, golden lion, facing inwards, and between the two rises from the count's crown of the shield a flag, divided five times across by red and silver, waving first to the right, then to the left and finally to the right again, which of the lions mentioned above is held with the front paws. The helmet covers are blue and gold on the right, red and silver on the left. - With this information, most of the lacquer impressions of seals from the family as well as the usually occurring descriptions and images of this coat of arms are largely correct. Only a few prints, mostly from older seals, do not show the base of the shield, but the lions in the shield are placed on a green floor: after all, this is probably an incorrect representation of the coat of arms.
