Counts of Ortenburg

The Counts of Ortenburg (German: Grafen von Ortenburg) were a comital family in the mediaeval Duchy of Carinthia. Though they had roots in Bavarian nobility, an affiliation with the Imperial Counts of Ortenburg, a branch line of the Rhenish Franconian House of Sponheim, is not established.

This article is about the counts who were subjects of the Dukes of Carinthia. For the counts directly subject to the Holy Roman Emperors, see Imperial County of Ortenburg.
