Ferenc III. Nádasdy (Hungarian - Nádasdy III. Ferenc; 14 January 1622[1] – 30 April 1671) was a chief judge and general in Hungary. He was one of the leaders of the Magnate conspiracy against Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I. After the conspiracy was revealed, he and two other leaders (Petar Zrinski and Petar's brother-in-law Fran Krsto Frankopan) were all executed.
Life
[edit]He was descended from two royal houses.[2] He was not only descended from a son of Edmund Ironside of England who had settled in Hungary, but was also the grandson of Ferenc Nádasdy. His grandmother Elizabeth Báthory (the infamous Bloody Countess of Csejte Castle) came from the powerful Báthory family.
Nádasdy converted to Roman Catholicism on 25 November 1643 in order to marry Countess Anna Júlia Esterházy (1630–1669), daughter of Nikolaus, Count Esterházy, on 6 February the following year.[3] After the Hungarian Diet in Pressburg decided upon the return of the County of Hornstein to the Kingdom of Hungary, Nádasdy ordered Rudolf von Stotzingen to dismiss his mercenaries.
