Bertha family

Contents

The Bertha de Felsőőr family (or Felső-Eőr in the Middle Ages) is a still existing Hungarian noble family from Vas county, who moved to Sopron and Zala counties also. The family received noble title in exchange for his service as a border guard at Oberwart (Felsőőr). The family's nobility was confirmed on July 1, 1327, by Charles I.[1][2][3] The first documented family name version (felső-eőri Bertha) was on January 18, 1582, by Rudolf II in Pressburg, when the family members were Márton, Mihály and Ferenc Bertha.[4][5][6][7]
