Barbo von Waxenstein is the name of an old and influential Carniolan noble family of Italian origin, active mostly in the territory of present-day Slovenia and in Istria. The family belonged to the Austrian nobility.
The Barbo family originated in Veneto, later moving to Inner Austria, especially Carniola (present-day Slovenia). Although first documented in the 13th century, they claimed descent from Roman Emperor Claudius. In 1547 the family settled in Kožljak (Waxenstein, in German) in Habsburg March of Istria. They were elevated to the rank of Barons in 1622, and to the rank of Imperial Count in 1674 by the Emperor Leopold II. [1] They held the titles barons of Guteneck, Pass and Zobelsberg, lords of Schlüsselstein, Kreussenbach and Dragomel. [2]
The family produced several high-ranking officials and politicians in the Duchy of Carniola. The last male member, count Robert Barbo von Waxenstein died in 1977. He had one daughter, Countess Livia Barbo von Waxenstein, later Baroness von Reden (1921-2018).
The Counts of Celje or the Counts of Cilli were the most influential late medieval noble dynasty on the territory of present-day Slovenia. Risen as vassals of the Habsburg dukes of Styria in the early 14th century, they ruled the County of Cilli as immediate counts (Reichsgrafen) from 1341 and rose to Princes of the Holy Roman Empire in 1436.
