The Salis-Samaden family is one of the oldest and most prestigious patrician lineages in the canton of Graubünden, Switzerland. Its origins are said to date back to Andreas Salicus de Salis, born c. 1060, who is regarded as the founding ancestor of the dynasty. Over the centuries, the Salis-Samaden family held important political, diplomatic and military posts within the Graubünden Leagues and maintained close ties with the great European courts.
A branch of the powerful House of Salis, the Samaden (or Samaden/Samedan) line distinguished itself particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries through its influence and aristocratic alliances. The family also established itself in France through the marriage of Anne Marie Henriette Sophie de Salis-Samade (1776–1853) to Baron Michel de Triqueti.
