Franz III. Graf Nádasdy in 1656
His wife Anna Juliana Esterházy in 1656

Franz III. Nádasdy (Hungarian - Nádasdy III. Ferenc; 14 January 1622[1] – 30 April 1671) was a chief judge and general in Hungary. He was one of the leaders of the Magnate conspiracy against Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I. After the conspiracy was revealed, he and two other leaders (Petar Zrinski and Petar's brother-in-law Fran Krsto Frankopan) were all executed.

Life

He was descended from two royal houses.[2] He not only descended from a son of Edward I of England who had settled in Hungary, but also the grandson of Ferenc Nádasdy. His grandmother Elizabeth Báthory (the infamous Bloody Countess of Csejte Castle) came from the powerful Báthory family.

Nádasdy converted to Roman Catholicism on 25 November 1643 in order to marry Countess Anna Júlia Esterházy (1630–1669), daughter of Nikolaus, Count Esterházy, on 6 February the following year.[3] After the Hungarian Diet in Pressburg decided upon the return of the County of Hornstein to the Kingdom of Hungary, Nádasdy ordered Rudolf von Stotzingen to dismiss his mercenaries.
