Biography
changeRudt de Collenberg was born to Ludwig Ferdinand Rüdt von Collenberg (1885–1964) and Anna Maria Zorn-Bulach (1886–1921).[1] His mother died when he was five years old. His paternal grandmother, Ferdinandina, belonged to the Hungarian Inkey noble family. As a result, he moved to Hungary with his grandmother and became fluent in Hungarian. He lived in Murarátka, Hungary, until 1945.[2]
Throughout his career, he specialized in the medieval period, focusing on the Crusader states, Cilician Armenia, the Kingdom of Cyprus, and the Byzantine Empire. A polyglot, he wrote in German, French, Hungarian, Italian, and English.
He married four times. His first marriage was to Sakuntala Blücher-Wahlstatt in 1944 in Muraszemenye. They had a daughter, Romedia Domenica, in 1945, but Sakuntala died a week after giving birth. In 1947, he married Countess Maria de Los Mercedes Wolff Metternich in Freiburg im Breisgau, and they had a daughter, Benedetta, in 1948, but divorced in 1949. His third marriage was to Rosamund Muriel Berkeley-Hill in 1952 in Vienna, and his final marriage was to Natalie von Schubert in 1968 in Rome.[1]
