From Squatters to Royalty?
"The Castle then remained a key feudal home for the Teck nobles until they were forced to give up their lands, and the castle, to the Holy Roman Empire. The last member of the Teck line passed in 1439. However, another family would come to control the castle, and the name, through Maximilian of the Holy Roman Empire. According to this narrative, the castle was, however, destroyed in 1525."

A poor family without any "royal" lineage took over the castle and assumed the family name "Teck" based on the Castle.

"The new family line that inherited the name of the castle, Teck, would go on to present their modest daughter, Mary, known as May, to the British Courts during her first “season” in the late 1800’s. As a rookie, she was courted, and later married Prince George, who would become King, making Mary of Teck Queen Consort, amongst other titles. The ruined Castle Teck, which was seemingly built into the German mountainside, was said to have been carefully rebuilt during Mary’s reign."

The Teck family name changed to "Cambridge".

Interesting video.
