Then, the Hofers had become very devoted employees in the Emperor's service. They participated in the Turkish wars and assisted in the defence of the imperial territory against Venice. Rence was still in their possession, but the family preferred to reside in Devin. The last male descendant of the family was Mathias Hofer († 1587). He had two daughters, Clara Ursula and Ludovica. The latter married Raymond IV of Thurn Valsassina from the castle of Vipolže (Vipolzano) in the hinterland of Gorica. Archduke Carl I, ruler of Inner Austria (Carantania), appointed Raymond lord and head of the Devin seigniory. His consort owned half of the seigniory; the other half belonged to her sister. Nevertheless, his consort Ludovica died, leaving 11 children behind. Then, Raymond married her widowed sister Clara Ursula, who already lived in the castle for some time.
In this way, Raymond passed the Devin legacy into one hand. Furthermore, he adopted the family name Thurn - Hofer - Valsassina, and he added his arms to those on the Thurn - Valsassina shield. He died in 1623. His descendants negotiated with the Emperor so as to acquire the castle, which until then was in pledge.
Count Raymond IV of Thurn - Hofer - Valsassina invited the Order of Servites (Servants of Mary) to Devin. One of them, Alasio da Sommaripa, published the first Italian - Slovenian dictionary (Udine 1607). The work was dedicated to Mathias, Raymond IV' third son, to whom he expressed his thanks for instructions of the Slovenian language.(Feb. 25, 2007)
