CELJE, CILLI, CILLY

  • "The coat of arms with three golden six-pointed stars belonged to the noble house of Celje, which hailed from Žovnek and was first mentioned in the medieval annals around 1130. In the succeeding centuries, it went on to create an influential realm, establishing control over most of the Slovenian territories by 1436. At that time, the family's court in the city of Celje was the focal point of humanist thought and renaissance on Slovenian soil. The assassination of the last male descendant of the Celje dynasty in 1456 brought to an end the period of native rule in the Slovenian lands. From then on and until the 20th century, Slovenians were ruled from abroad by foreigners, most notably by the Habsburgs."

Adolph was alike eminent as warrior, statesman, and savant; he became the founder of several of the rather pedantic societies of those days of declining chivalry; such as the Fools' Fraternity, and the Knights of the Rose-wreath and of the Horse-comb; but the sense of justice of the Duke of Cloves is commemorated by a fine sentence, expressive of his integrity in an era of deceit and corruption.'" - This, however, did not hinder him from being engaged in violent disputes and bloody feuds with the Archbishops of Cologne."  (Koppen, p. 175)
