Early life

Count Nádasdy was born in Felsőlendva in 1697.[2] He was eldest son of Ferenc IV Nádasdy de Nádasd et Fogarasföld (c. 1650–1717) and Rosalia "Róza" von Schrattenbach (1673–1717). Among his siblings were Count Ferenc Leopold Nádasdy, a Lieutenant General, Count Boldizsár Nádasdy, an Imperial and Royal Chamberlain, and Count Ferenc Nádasdy, the Ban of Croatia.[3]

His paternal grandparents were Ferenc III Nádasdy de Nádasd et Fogarasföld (a grandson of Count Ferenc II Nádasdy), and Countess Anna Júlia Esterházy de Galántha. His maternal grandparents were Baron Johann Balthasar von Schrattenbach and Countess Anna Elisabeth von Wagensperg.[3]

Nádasdy inherited ownership of the Upper Lendava manor. From 1730 he was a Governor's Councilor, from 1737 an Inner Privy Councilor, from 1739 a Royal Treasurer (tárnokmester), from 1744 the President of the Provincial Committee, from 1746 a Royal Master of the Stables, a Grand Cross of the Order of Saint Stephen and the Chancellor of Hungary.[2]
