Knight of the Golden Fleece, patron of Haydn’s Erdődy quartets. OP.76.  The House of Erdődy by Monyorókerék and Monoszló (also House of Erdödy) is the name of an old Hungarian-Croatian noble family with possessions in Hungary and Croatia. Elevated to the Hungarian nobility in 1459, the family was subsequently raised to the rank of Count in 1485. In 1565, the family was then recognized by the Habsburg monarchy, which granted them the title Reichsgraf / Gräfin.
