Hrabiowie of Merano
Herb hrabiów of Merano The family of Counts von Meran, descends from the Archduke John (died 1859, the uncle of the Austrian Emperor Ferdinand I) and his morganatic wife - Anna Maria Plochl (died 1885). Breaking the rules of the imperial family (the married couple had to be born high enough), he married a loving daughter of the postmaster. This has led to an enormous popularity.
In 1848, during the Spring of Nations, he was elected Reich administrator. It was a prelude to the unification of Germany, but in fact the archduke did not have great powers. Bibliography Authority control (noble family):
