The House of Clary-und-Aldringen or Clary-Aldringen is one of the most prominent Austro-Hungarian princely familys of Bohemian noble origin. The Bohemian princes of Clary-und-Aldringen are descending from two noble families of the Holy Roman Empire. On the one hand, the von Clarys, lords of Riva del Garda, are Upper-Italian nobles who enter the Bohemian nobility in the 14th century. On the other hand, the von Aldringens was a catholic noble family from the Spanish Netherlands who sided with the Habsburgs during the Reformation and the subsequent religious wars. In 1622, countess Anna Maria von Aldringen, sister and heir of Thirty Years War's Austrian general Reichsgraf Johann von Aldringen, married count Hieronymus von Clary, son of Bohemian lord Franz von Clary. Their descendants were allowed by imperial decree to adopt the name and arms of both families. Ever since, they are named Clary-und-Aldringen (or Clary-Aldringen). [wiki]
