Dear all, The traditional pedigree of the Tirolean Counts of Spaur states that Hildebrand von Spaur, a knight and Erblandmundschenk of Tirol in 1507, married as his first wife on Clara von Roß / de Cavallis [1]. They had three children, of whom Chrysanth von Spaur (c.1494-after 1540) has numerous modern descendants. My questions concerns Clara. Her surname would seem to suggest that she is somehow related to Anton vom Roß / Antonio de Cavallis, the Genoan banker who partnered with the Fuggers in 1487 to advance money to Archduke Sigismund of Tirol [2]. Less clear to me, though, is the exact nature of their relationship and the larger history of this family. Are they related to the Cavalli of Verona or is this a different family entirely? Any suggestions would be very welcome. All the best, Kelsey [1] Bucelin, _Germania_, ii. sig. X3v; BLKO, xxxvi. pedigree IV facing 89. [2] http://tinyurl.com/y9dtcfxy
