Lords of Talmberk
The Lords of Talmberg were late medieval rulers in Eastern Europe.
Genealogy 1291-1473
The coat of arms of the Lords of Talmberg consists of two water-lily leaves argent (silver) on a field gules (red). The dynasty dates back to 1291, when Talmberg Castle was under the administration of Vilém (William), son of the then Prague Burgrave, Hroznata of Úžic (Uzhitz). His descendants later owned estates in South and East Bohemia, including Slatíňany, Miličín and the area around Čáslav. Some of the Talmberg lords achieved such influential posts in administration as Burgrave or magistrate.
