Trotta called Treyden

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
United coat of arms Trotha-Trott from 1586, as also called Trotta Treyden from 1615 on

Trotta called Treyden , originally just Treyden or Treiden , later occasionally also Trotha-Treyden , is the name of an extinct Kurland noble family , which later also achieved great prestige in Saxony and Prussia .

The sex felt in the 16th century the meißnisch -sächsischen Trotha belonging, led still apparently in the meantime the coat of arms of Hesse Trott , later, the union arms of both sexes. More recent research assumes that none of the three sexes are agnatically related to one another. There is still no proven tribal relationship to the also Baltic Treyden .
