!!!Jörger von Tollet, Adelsfamilie

Joerger von Tollet, noble family, can be traced back to the 13th 
century in Upper Austria. They became barons in 1577 and counts in 
1657. During the 16th century, the family was among the most respected 
in Austria and among the leaders of the Protestant Estates (Baron 
Helmhard  Joerger von Tollet). After 1620, however, their situation 
worsened considerably; some of their members converted back to 
Catholicism. The family died out in 1772 with Helmhard V.
