The Talmberk family (German: Talmberg or Talenberg) was a Bohemian noble house. The family ruled the town of Talmberk and Talmberk Castle [cs], along with various other estates.[1]

History

The Talmberk family was descended from the Kounice family [de] of Bohemia and Moravia.[2] The Talmberk family was founded at the end of the 13th century. The first known member is William of Talmberk, a descendant of Hroznata of Úžice who was first mentioned in 1297.[3]

The family came under the ownership of Jankov in 1418. They remained in possession of the village until 1702, when it was sold.[4]

The Talmberk Codex [de] remained in the family from the 16th century until the death of the last member.[5] It was later given to the Library of the National Museum [cs] of the National Museum in Prague.[6]

The Talmberks largely sided with the House of Habsburg during the Bohemian Revolt, and they were allowed to remain in the gentleman's class [de]. At the end of the 16th century, the family had split into separate branches.[2] The last male member of the family died in 1735.[citation needed]
