Batthyány

The House of Batthyány (Hungarian: [ˈbɒccaːɲi]) is an ancient and distinguished Hungarian noble magnate family. The Head of the family bears the title Prince (Fürst) of Batthyány-Strattmann, while other members of this family bear the title Count/Countess (Graf/Gräfin) Batthyány von Német-Ujvar respectively. A branch of the family (Croatian: Baćan) was notable in Bosnia and Croatia as well, producing several Bans (viceroys) of Jajce in the 15th and 16th century and later Bans of Croatia in the 16th, 17th and 18th century.
