The Countess was born on her family estate, Rhédey castle [ro; hu] in Sankt Georgen auf der Heide (Hungarian: Erdőszentgyörgy), Transylvania (then part of the Austrian Empire, today Sângeorgiu de Pădure, Romania) to Count László Rhédey de Kis-Rhéde (29 September 1775 – 22 November 1833) and his wife, Baroness Ágnes Inczédy de Nagy-Várad (ca. 1788 – ca. 1856). Most notable member of her family was Ferenc Rhédey, the reigning Prince of Transylvania who ruled Principality of Transylvania between 1657 and 1658. At birth, she was styled as Countess Klaudina (Claudine) Rhédey de Kis-Rhéde.
The crypt of the Rhédey family is in the Reformed Church of Sângeorgiu de Pădure in present-day Romania.
Claudine died in Austria in 1841 after being thrown from her horse. The remains of the Countess were originally interred in the Rhédey Mausoleum, but were subsequently removed and placed in the family crypt in the Reformed Church of Sângeorgiu de Pădure.[3]
Issue
Countess Claudine Rhédey von Kis-Rhéde and Countess von Hohenstein had three children with Duke Alexander of Württemberg:
Countess Amalie of Hohenstein (1838–1893); married, on 24 October 1863 Baron (later Count) Paul von Hügel (1835–1897). They lived in Castle Reinthal, near Graz.
Paul-Julius, Graf von Hügel (1872–1912); married, Anna Pauline Homolatsch.
Huberta Amelia Maximilienne Pauline, Gräfin von Hügel (1897–1912)
Ferdinand Paul, Graf von Hügel (b. 1901)
All children were initially styled as Counts or Countesses von Hohenstein, taking their titles from their mother. However, in 1863, the children were created Princes and Princesses of Teck by William I of Württemberg, with the style Serene Highness in the Kingdom of Württemberg.
The Rhédey family has been known from the 13th century. It is one of the Hungarian noble families descending from the house of Aba.[5] The most notable ancestor of the Aba noble house was Samuel Aba, the third king of Hungary between 1041 and 1044, married to a sister of St. Stephen I, the first Roman Catholic (or Eastern Orthodox depending on view from the Great Schism of 1054) king of Hungary.
On her mother's side, Countess Claudine Rhédey von Kis-Rhéde, she is distantly related to Vlad the Monk, the brother of the infamous Vlad Dracula, the inspiration for the character Count Dracula.
