Clam-Martinic family

The family originates from Berg near Henndorf am Wallersee and appeared under the name Berger or Pörger (Perger), Edle Herren von Höchenperg.

Around 1209 a Carinthian branch owned Höhenbergen castle near Völkermarkt.

This line was established when Carl Josef, Count of Clam (1760-1826), a member of an old Austrian noble Clam family, married Maria Anna, Countess of Martinic (z Martinicz or Martinicové in Czech) (1768-1832), a member of an old Bohemian noble family claimed to be descended from the Vršovci family.

[1] The other line of the Clam family, namely Counts of Clamm und Gallas, owners of the Frýdlant castle, whose other possessions were mostly in Bohemia, died out in 1930.
