INTRODUCTION

 

 

The eastern march, along the south bank of the river Danube between the Enns and the Wienerwald, was established by the Franks after the collapse of the Avar state[1].  Some of the Markgrafen of the East March, from the mid- to late-9th century, are set out in Chapter 1, although it has not yet been possible to establish a full chronological list of holders of the title.  It is not known how long this March remained in existence. 

 

A new march along the Hungarian frontier was established in 976 by Emperor Otto II, who installed Liutpold as Markgraf (see Chapter 2).  This new march developed into Austria.  The name "Babenberg" was first applied to the first dynasty of Austrian Markgrafen and Dukes probably in the 12th or 13th centuries.  This was due to a tradition that the first Markgrafen were descended from the "alte Babenberger" family who are set out in the document FRANCONIA.  This descent does not appear to have been based on any primary source proof.  More recently, it has been suggested that Markgraf Liutpold was the son of Arnulf Duke of Bavaria [Liutpoldinger] but this theory appears to be based solely on onomastics[2].  In fact, there are few typically "Liutpoldinger" names among Markgraf Liutpold's children, in particular Eberhard, Berthold and Arnulf are absent.  Reuter says that Markgraf Liutpold was "related both to the Liutpoldinger and indirectly to the Babenberger"[3] but the basis for this statement is not known. 

 

The March of Austria was part of the territory of the duchy of Bavaria until 1156, when it was elevated to the status of a separate duchy in order to compensate Heinrich II Markgraf of Austria for the loss of Bavaria when Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa" returned it to the Welf family[4].  The duchies of Austria and Styria were partially integrated into imperial administration after the death in 1246 of Friedrich II Duke of Austria[5].  Following the accession of the Habsburg dukes in 1276, the history of Austria became closely identified with that of the whole Holy Roman Empire, as the majority of emperors after that date were Habsburgs, the appointment becoming exclusive to the dynasty from 1452 until the dissolution of the empire by Napoleon in 1806.

1.         WILHELM [I] (-after 18 Jan 853).  "Uuilihelmus…comes" donated property "in loco…Bersnicha" to Regensburg St Emmeram by charter dated 834 which names "coniux eius Engilrada"[6].  “Comis...Vuillihelmus” donated “Sconheringa, Cheminatum, et Purcheim” to Regensburg by charter dated 837, witnessed by “Ernost comis, Vuernheri, Timo...Rihho com...[7].  Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks confirmed donations to Kloster St Emmeran by "Uuilihelmus comes" of property "inter Agastam et Nardinam ubi ipsa in Danubium fluent…et…in Nortuualt" which "Engilrade coniugi suæ" had granted during her life, by charter dated 18 Jan 853[8].  The tenor of the document suggests that Graf Wilhelm was near death at the time.  m (before 834) ENGILRAD, daughter of --- (-before 18 Jan 853).  "Uuilihelmus…comes" donated property "in loco…Bersnicha" to Regensburg St Emmeram by charter dated 834 which names "coniux eius Engilrada"[9].  Graf Wilhelm [I] & his wife had [two possible children]: 

a)         [WILHELM [II] (-killed in battle Moravia [871]).  No proof has been found that Wilhelm [II] was the son of Wilhelm [I] but this appears likely.  Markgraf in the Pannonian March.  The Annales Fuldenses record that "duo fratres Willihelmus et Engilscalcus" were granted "terminum regni Baioariorum in Oriente" by Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks and that they held the territory against the Moravians, were killed in battle, but that their sons were not confirmed as their successors, the land being granted to "Erbo"[10].  The Annales Fuldenses record that the forces of Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks fought "Engilscalcum et Willihelmum, duces Carlmanni" in 871[11].]  m ---.  The name of Wilhelm's wife is not known.  Wilhelm [II] & his wife had one child: 

i)          MEGINGOZ (-drowned Hraba river 884).  The Annales Fuldenses record that "filii Willihelmi et Engilscalchi qui maiores natu erant, Megingoz et Papo" were forced to flee and were drowned in "flumine…Hraba" in 884[12].  The Gesta regum Francorum records the same event in 884[13].  These texts appear to indicate that Megingoz was the son of Wilhelm and Poppo the son of Engilschalk, but this is not without doubt. 

b)         [ENGELSCHALK [I] (-killed in battle Moravia [871]).  No proof has been found that Engelschalk [I] was the son of Wilhelm [I] but this appears likely.  Markgraf in the Pannonian March.  The Annales Fuldenses record that "duo fratres Willihelmus et Engilscalcus" were granted "terminum regni Baioariorum in Oriente" by Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks and that they held the territory against the Moravians, were killed in battle, but that their sons were not confirmed as their successors, the land being granted to "Erbo"[14].  The Annales Fuldenses record that the forces of Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks fought "Engilscalcum et Willihelmum, duces Carlmanni" in 871[15].]  m ---.  The name of Engelschalk's wife is not known.  Engelschalk [I] & his wife had four children:

i)          POPPO (-drowned Hraba river 884).  The Annales Fuldenses record that "filii Willihelmi et Engilscalchi qui maiores natu erant, Megingoz et Papo" were forced to flee and were drowned in "flumine…Hraba" in 884[16].  The Gesta regum Francorum records the same event in 884[17].  These texts appear to indicate that Megingoz was the son of Wilhelm and Poppo the son of Engilschalk, but this is not without doubt. 

ii)         three other children.  The Annales Fuldenses record that "Werinhario" captured "septentrionali parte Histri fluminis" from "pueris Engilscalch, qui tres habuit" in 884 and mutilated "Vezziloni quoque comiti, qui illorum propinquus erat" by cutting off his right hand, tongue and genitals[18]

iii)        [WILHELM [III] (-executed Moravia 893).  No proof has been found that Wilhelm [III] was the son of Engelschalk [I] but this appears likely.  If this is correct, he was one of the three children expelled from "septentrionali parte Histri fluminis" in 884.  The Gesta regum Francorum names "Willihelmus filius patruelis eius [=Arnulfi regis]" when recording that he was sent as missus to Moravia but beheaded in 893[19].  The Annales Fuldenses record the same event in 893[20].  The Annales Alamannicorum record in 893 "Wilhelm occisus, Engilscalch obcecatur"[21].  King Arnulf granted property "quicquid Uuillihelmus et Engilscalchus germani fratres comites" to Kloster Kremsmünster by charter dated 22 Oct 893[22].] 

iv)       [ENGELSCHALK [II] .  No proof has been found that Engelschalk [II] was the son of Engelschalk [I] but this appears likely.  If this is correct, he was one of the three children expelled from "septentrionali parte Histri fluminis" in 884.  The Gesta regum Francorum names "Engilscalcus iuvenili audatia vir, qui post, rapta de concubina filia regis" when recording his exile in Moravia, his being invested with "marcensis in Oriente" on his return, but his arrest and blinding in 893[23].  The Annales Fuldenses record the same event in 893[24].  The Annales Alamannicorum record in 893 "Wilhelm occisus, Engilscalch obcecatur"[25].  King Arnulf granted property "in comitatu Ruodperti in regno Carantano iuxta flumen Gurza in loco Selizna" to "Reginhardo" at the request of "Engilscalchi comitis" by undated charter, placed in the compilation with charters dated 892[26].  King Arnulf granted property "quicquid Uuillihelmus et Engilscalchus germani fratres comites" to Kloster Kremsmünster by charter dated 22 Oct 893[27]Mistress (1): [ELLINRAT], illegitimate daughter of Emperor ARNULF & his concubine [Ellinrat] (-after ).  The Gesta regum Francorum records in 893 that "Engilscalcus iuvenili audatia vir" later "rapta de concubina filia regis"[28].  The passage does not name the king's daughter.  Ellinrat is the only daughter who is named elsewhere, but the text may refer to an otherwise unknown daughter of Emperor Arnulf.]  

 

 

1.         ARIBO, son of --- ([835/45]-after 909).  The Annales Fuldenses record that "duo fratres Willihelmus et Engilscalcus" were granted "terminum regni Baioariorum in Oriente" by Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks and that they held the territory against the Moravians, were killed in battle, but that their sons were not confirmed as their successors, the land being granted to "Erbo"[29]

1.         LIUTPOLD, son of --- ([950/55]-murdered Würzburg 10 Jul 994, bur Würzburg).  The origin of Liutpold is unknown.  According to early tradition, he was descended from the "alte Babenberger" family whose genealogy is set out in the document FRANCONIA NOBILITY, accounting for the later attribution of this name to the dynasty.  This descent does not appear to have been based on any primary source proof.  More recently, it has been suggested that Markgraf Liutpold was the son of Arnulf Duke of Bavaria [Liutpoldinger] but this theory appears to be based solely on onomastics[30].  In fact, there are few typically "Liutpoldinger" names among Markgraf Liutpold's children, in particular Eberhard, Berthold and Arnulf are absent.  Reuter says that Markgraf Liutpold was "related both to the Liutpoldinger and indirectly to the Babenberger"[31] but the basis for this statement is not known.  His birth date is estimated on the basis that he was a young adult when installed as Markgraf.  Graf in der Nordgau[32].  He was installed by Emperor Otto II in 976 as LIUTPOLD I Markgraf der bayerischen Ostmark, the newly created march bordering Hungary.  Graf im Traungau 977.  Graf im Sundergau 979.  Graf im Donaugau 983.  The necrology of Fulda records the death in 994 of "Liutbold marchio"[33].  Thietmar records that "Leopold Markgraf of the East" was murdered on 10 Jul at Würzburg by an individual who wrongly blamed him for blinding his brother, and that he was buried at Würzburg[34].  The Liber Anniversariorum of Einsiedeln records the death in Jul of "Lupoldus com et marchio in Orientali Baioaria"[35].  The necrology of Regensburg St Emmeran records the death "VI Id Jul" of "Liutpolt marchio com"[36]m RICHWARA, daughter of [ERNST Graf im Sualafeld & his wife ---] (-bur Stift Melk).  A continuator of the Gesta Treverorum records "domnus Poppo" and "patri eius Luopaldi…qui regionis Austriæ marcam tenebat, mater…Richeza…ducis Germaniæ Franciæ filia"[37].  A list of names in the Verbrüderungsbuch of Reichenau abbey reads "Luitpold marches, Rihuuar, Iudita, Heinrich, Ernust, Poppo, Luitpold, Cunigurrt, Adalbr"[38], which appears to refer to Markgraf Liutpold, his wife and children.  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[39], the wife of Markgraf I was the daughter of Graf Ernst.  The primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified.  It is possible that it is based solely on onomastic speculation, because of the transmission of the name Ernst into the Babenberg family with her son.  Markgraf Liutpold I & his wife had [eight] children: 

a)         [JUDITH .  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.  A list of names in the Verbrüderungsbuch of Reichenau abbey reads "Luitpold marches, Rihuuar, Iudita, Heinrich, Ernust, Poppo, Luitpold, Cunigurrt, Adalbr"[40], which appears to refer to Markgraf Liutpold, his wife and children.  If this is correct, it is unclear why Judith should be listed before her supposed brothers.  Another possibility is that Judith in this list was the second wife of Markgraf Liutpold.] 

b)         HEINRICH ([970/73]-23/24 Jun 1018, bur Melk).  The Auctarium Vindobonense names "marchiam Austriam…Heinricus secundus, filius Liupoldi"[41].  His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that he was at least a young adult when succeeding his father.  If this is correct, he must have been considerably older than his brothers shown below.  This does suggest that they may have been born from different mothers, although it is not considered that this speculation is sufficiently definite to show these possible two marriages of Markgraf Liutpold, even in square brackets, above.  A list of names in the Verbrüderungsbuch of Reichenau abbey reads "Luitpold marches, Rihuuar, Iudita, Heinrich, Ernust, Poppo, Luitpold, Cunigurrt, Adalbr"[42], which appears to refer to Markgraf Liutpold, his wife and children.  He succeeded his father in 994 as HEINRICH I Markgraf der Ostmark.  The Altahense Annales record the sudden death in 1018 of "Heinricus marchio Austria" and specify that he was succeeded by "Adalbertus filius eius"[43].  Thietmar records the death on 24 Jun 1018 of "Heinrich [who] held the march between the Hungarians and the Bavarians"[44].  The necrology of Melk records the death "IX Kal Jul" of "Heinricus marchio fundator unus h l…"[45].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "IX Kal Jul" of "Heinricus marchio"[46]

c)         ERNST von Babenberg ([985/90]-31 Mar 1015, bur Würzburg).  Thietmar names "Ernst son of Markgraf Leopold" when recording that he was among those sent by Heinrich II King of Germany to Lombardy after his election to quell unrest[47].  A list of names in the Verbrüderungsbuch of Reichenau abbey reads "Luitpold marches, Rihuuar, Iudita, Heinrich, Ernust, Poppo, Luitpold, Cunigurrt, Adalbr"[48], which appears to refer to Markgraf Liutpold, his wife and children.  The Chronicle of Otto von Freising, interpolated in the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, names "Ernesto duci Suevorum, fratri Alberti superioris Pannonis marchionis et archiepiscopi Treverensis Popponis" as first husband of "Gisila [imperatrix]"[49], although he was in fact her second husband.  His birth date range is estimated on the basis of his marriage in [1012].  He succeeded in 1012 as ERNST I Duke of Swabia.  Thietmar records that "Duke Ernst of Swabia" died on 31 Mar after a hunting accident and was buried in Würzburg next to his father "Markgraf Leopold"[50]

d)         POPPO (-14 Feb or 16 Apr 1047, bur Trier St Simeon, transferred 1803 to St Gervasius).  The Annales Zwetlenses name "Popponem episcopum Traverensem" as brother of "Heinricus marchio Austrie [et] frater eius Leupoldus"[51], although the reference to "Leupoldus" appears incorrect.  A list of names in the Verbrüderungsbuch of Reichenau abbey reads "Luitpold marches, Rihuuar, Iudita, Heinrich, Ernust, Poppo, Luitpold, Cunigurrt, Adalbr"[52], which appears to refer to Markgraf Liutpold, his wife and children.  Wipo names "Poppo frater Ernesti ducis", when recording the former as Archbishop of Trier[53].  Provost of Bamberg cathedral after 1007.  The Gesta Treverorum records that Heinrich II King of Germany installed "Popponem in Babenberch educatum" as Archbishop of Trier in succession to "Megingaudo" in 1015[54].  A continuator of the Gesta Treverorum records "domnus Poppo" and "patri eius Luopaldi…qui regionis Austriæ marcam tenebat, mater…Richeza…ducis Germaniæ Franciæ filia"[55].  Thietmar records the installation of "Poppo…son of Markgraf Leopold and provost of the church of Bamberg" as Archbishop of Trier in 1016[56].  Wipo, in his description of the election of Konrad II King of Germany in 1024, calls Poppo a "pious and humble man", says he was the brother of Duke Ernst, and that he was the guardian of the latter's son Ernst[57].  The necrology of Melk records the death "XVI Kal Mar" of "Poppo archieps Treverensis fr Heinrici marchionis"[58].  The Annales Necrologici Prumienses record the death in 1047 of “Boppo archiepiscopus[59]

e)         [LIUTPOLD .  A list of names in the Verbrüderungsbuch of Reichenau abbey reads "Luitpold marches, Rihuuar, Iudita, Heinrich, Ernust, Poppo, Luitpold, Cunigurrt, Adalbr"[60], which appears to refer to Markgraf Liutpold, his wife and children.  No other reference has yet been found to a son named Liutpold.] 

f)          KUNIGUNDE .  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.  A list of names in the Verbrüderungsbuch of Reichenau abbey reads "Luitpold marches, Rihuuar, Iudita, Heinrich, Ernust, Poppo, Luitpold, Cunigurrt, Adalbr"[61], which appears to refer to Markgraf Liutpold, his wife and children. 

g)         ADALBERT ([990/994]-26 May 1055, bur Stift Melk).  A list of names in the Verbrüderungsbuch of Reichenau abbey reads "Luitpold marches, Rihuuar, Iudita, Heinrich, Ernust, Poppo, Luitpold, Cunigurrt, Adalbr"[62], which appears to refer to Markgraf Liutpold, his wife and children.  The primary sources are contradictory regarding the parentage of Markgraf Adalbert.  The Auctarium Vindobonense names "Adalbertus tertius marchio Austria", but does not specify his relationship with his predecessor[63].  The Altahense Annales record the sudden death in 1018 of "Heinricus marchio Austria" and specify that he was succeeded by "Adalbertus filius eius"[64].  However, the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines name "Ernesto duci Suevorum, fratri Alberti superioris Pannonis marchionis et archiepiscopi Treverensis Popponis"[65].  As shown above, Thietmar records both Ernst Duke of Swabia and Poppo Archbishop of Trier as sons of Markgraf Liutpold[66].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "VII Kal Jun" of "Adalbertus marchio filius Heinrici marchionis"[67], apparently confirming the parentage set out in the Atahense Annales.  On the other hand, the necrology of Melk records the death "XVI Kal Mar" of "Poppo archieps Treverensis fr Heinrici marchionis"[68].  On balance, more primary sources indicate that Adalbert was the son of Markgraf Liutpold rather than of Markgraf Heinrich.  His estimated birth date range is based on the birth date range estimated for his older son, with the death of Markgraf Liutpold in 994 representing the later limit of this range on the assumption that Adalbert was his son.  Just to confuse the question of Adalbert's parentage even further, it should be noted that this range would not be inconsistent with Adalbert having been the son of Markgraf Heinrich.  Graf im Schweinach 1010.  Graf im Künzig 1011.  He succeeded his brother in 1018 as ADALBERT "der Siegreiche" Markgraf der Ostmark [of Austria].  The necrology of Salzburg St Rudpert records the death "VII Kal Jun" of "Adalpreht marchio"[69].  The necrology of Melk records the death "VII Kal Jun" of "Adalbertus marchio"[70]m firstly (before [1020/25]) --- (-before 1041).  Markgraf Adalbert's first marriage is deduced from the estimated birth date range of his older son Liutpold.  The identity of this first wife of Markgraf Adalbert is unknown.  She has been identified as Glismod ---, daughter of Immed Graf in Utrecht & his wife Adela [von Hamaland][71].  This is presumably based on the Annales Stadenses which name "Lippoldo filio domine Glismodis" as husband of "Ida [de Elsthorpe]"[72].  "Lippoldo" has been assumed to be Liutpold Margraf der Ungarischen Mark, son of Markgraf Adalbert, but this appears to be impossible if Ida von Elstorf had four children by her first husband[73].  The only definite information concerning Glismod's husband is found in the Vita Meinwerci which names "Thiedericum, Meinwercum, Glismod et Azelam" as children of Immed and Athela and specifies that Glismod married "nobilis principis in Baioaria"[74].  Another possibility is that her name was Adelheid.  The necrology of Melk records the death "VII Kal Feb" of "Adalheida marchionissa ux Adalberti marchionis Austrie"[75].  At first sight, "Adalberti" has assumed to be an error for "Ernesti" as the latter's wife is the only known "marchionissa" of that name.  However, the entry may alternatively refer to the otherwise unknown first wife of Markgraf Adalbert.  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg also records the death "VII Kal Feb" of "Adelheidis marchionissa"[76] but does not name her husband.  m secondly (shortly before 1041) FROIZZA [Frowila] Orseolo, daughter of PIETRO OTTONE Orseolo Doge of Venice & his wife [Grimelda or Maria] of Hungary ([1015]-17 Feb 1071, bur Melk).  Herimannus refers to "sororis suæ [=Peterum regem]" as wife of "marchionem nostrum Adalbertum" when recording her marriage in 1041[77].  She is named in three imperial charters, although these are not consistent about the spelling of her name.   "Heinricus…Romanorum imperator augustus" granted property "in circuitu duorum fluminum…Zaiouua" to "marchioni Adalberto et coniugi suæ (Froiza)" by charter dated 21 Apr 1048[78].  "Heinricus…Romanorum imperator augustus" granted property to "Adelberti marchionis [et] uxorique sue Froize" dated 12 Nov 1051"[79].  "Heinricus…rex" granted property "in locis Ortvvinesdorf et Pirchehe…in marcha Osterriche et in comitatu Ernestes marchionis" to "Frovvilæ Adeberti marhchionis viduæ" by charter dated 1 Oct 1058[80].  The necrology of Melk records the death "XIII Kal Mar" of "Frouza marchionissa"[81].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "XIII Kal Mar" of "Fruoza marchionissa"[82].  Markgraf Adalbert & his first wife had two children:

i)          LIUTPOLD ([1020/25]-Ingelheim 9 Dec 1043, bur Trier)Herimannus names "Adalberto marchione et filio eius Liutpaldo" when recording their jointly leading part of the army to the southern Danube area in 1042[83].  His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that he was a young adult or late adolescent at this time.  He was installed as Markgraf der Ungarischen Mark in Dec 1043 at Ingelheim[84]Herimannus records his installation as marchio, but also his death a few days later[85].  The Chronicon of Bernold records the death in 1043 of "Liutpaldus Adalberti marchionis filius" at Ingelheim after the marriage of Heinrich III King of Germany and Agnes de Poitou[86].  The necrology of Melk records the death "V Id Dec" of "Liupoldus fortis mil fil Alberti marchionis"[87].  The first husband of Ida von "Elstorf", daughter of Liudolf Markgraf in Friesland [Braunschweig] & his wife Gertrud von Egisheim, is identified as Liutpold Markgraf der Ungarischen Mark in Europäischen Stammtafeln[88].  Presumably this is based firstly on the Annales Stadenses which name "Lippoldo filio domine Glismodis" as husband of "Ida [de Elsthorpe]"[89], and secondly on the Vita Meinwerci which names "Thiedericum, Meinwercum, Glismod et Azelam" as children of Immed and Athela, specifying that Glismod married "nobilis principis in Baioaria"[90], although there is no evidence linking the second with the first.  The fact that Ida von Elstorf had children by her first husband, if correct, also indicates that that this co-identity cannot be right[91].  She married secondly Dedo Graf von Dietmarschen, and thirdly Etheler Graf von Dietmarschen. 

ii)         ERNST (-killed in battle near Homburg/Unstrut 9 Jun 1075, bur Melk).  The Auctarium Vindobonense names "Ernust filius eius [=Adalbertus] quartus marchio Austrie" when recording that he succeeded his father[92].  He succeeded his father in 1055 as ERNST Markgraf of Austria.   

          -        see below

h)         CHRISTINA .  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.  Nun at Trier.

i)          HEMMA .  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  m RATPOTO [III] Graf von Diessen, son of RATPOTO [II] Graf im oberen Traungau & his wife --- (-18 Jun [1050]). 

2.         [---.  m ---.]  One child: 

a)         HEINRICH .  Thietmar records that "Leopold Markgraf of the East and Heinrich his nephew" were invited to attend mass by the Bishop of Würzburg 8 Jul [994][93].  Wegener states[94] that Heinrich was the same person as Heinrich von Schweinfurt Markgraf auf dem Nordgau (d. 1017), which accords with his theory (based only on onomastics) that both Markgraf Liutpold I and Berthold Markgraf auf dem Nordgau, father of Heinrich, were sons of Arnulf Duke of Bavaria [Liutpoldinger]. 

 

 

The precise relationship between the following small family sub-group and the Markgrafen of Austria has not been established: 

1.         AZZO . The Annales Zwetlenses name "Aizonem cognatum" of "Heinricus marchio Austrie [et] frater eius Leupoldus", and in the following entry record that "Aizo iste genuit tres filios, Anshelmum, Nytzonem et Adalberonem"[95], none of whom has been identified.  m ---.  The name of Azzo's wife is not known.  Azzo & his wife had three children: 

a)         ANSELM .  The Annales Zwetlenses name "Aizonem cognatum" of "Heinricus marchio Austrie [et] frater eius Leupoldus", and in the following entry record that "Aizo iste genuit tres filios, Anshelmum, Nytzonem et Adalberonem"[96]

b)         NIZO .  The Annales Zwetlenses name "Aizonem cognatum" of "Heinricus marchio Austrie [et] frater eius Leupoldus", and in the following entry record that "Aizo iste genuit tres filios, Anshelmum, Nytzonem et Adalberonem"[97]

c)         ADALBERO .  The Annales Zwetlenses name "Aizonem cognatum" of "Heinricus marchio Austrie [et] frater eius Leupoldus", and in the following entry record that "Aizo iste genuit tres filios, Anshelmum, Nytzonem et Adalberonem"[98]

 

 

ERNST von Babenberg, son of ADALBERT Markgraf der Ostmark [Austria] & his first wife --- (-killed in battle near Homburg/Unstrut 9 Jun 1075, bur Melk).  The Auctarium Vindobonense names "Ernust filius eius [=Adalbertus] quartus marchio Austrie" when recording that he succeeded his father[99].  He succeeded his father in 1055 as ERNST Markgraf of Austria.  Heinrich IV King of Germany granted property to "marchione Ernest in marcha Osterreiche" by charter dated 22 Mar 1074[100].  The Annales Gotwicenses record the death in 1075 of "Ernist marchio"[101].  The Chronicon Garstense records that "Ernust marchio Austrie et Gebehardus pater Lotharii postea imperatoris" were killed in the Saxon wars in 1075 "iuxta fluvium…(Unstrutt)"[102].  The Annales Wormatienses name "domni Eberhardi de Eberstein et domni E. filii sui, comitis de Sein et domni Ottonis de Eberstein" in 1249[103].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "V Id Jun" of "Ernsto marchio"[104]

m firstly ADELHEID von Wettin, daughter of DEDO II Markgraf der Ostmark-Lausitz [Wettin] & his first wife Oda der Ostmark (after 1039-[26 Jan] 1071, bur Melk).  The Genealogica Wettinensis names "Adelhidis…[et] Agnes" as the two daughters of "secundus filius [comitis Tiderici] Dedo" and his wife Oda, naming "Hernesto marchioni de Bavaria" as wife of Adelheid and "Luppoldum marchionem" as their son[105].  The Annales Gotwicenses record the death in 1071 of "Adalheit marchionissa"[106].  The necrology of Melk records the death "VII Kal Feb" of "Adalheida marchionissa ux Adalberti marchionis Austrie"[107].  At first sight, "Adalberti" has assumed to be an error for "Ernesti" as the latter's wife is the only known "marchionissa" of that name.  However, the entry may alternatively refer to the otherwise unknown first wife of Markgraf Adalbert.  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg also records the death "VII Kal Feb" of "Adelheidis marchionissa"[108] but does not name her husband. 

m secondly (1071 or after) SUANAHILD, daughter of ---.   The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified.   According to Europäische Stammtafeln[109], she was Suanahild, daughter of Sieghard [VII] or [VIII] Graf [Sieghardinger] & his wife Pilihild ---, but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. 

Markgraf Ernst & his first wife had [three] children:

1.         LIUTPOLD ([1058/63]-12 Oct 1095, bur Gars).  The Auctarium Vindobonense names "Liutpoldus filius eius [=Ernust] quintus marchio"[110].  His birth date range is estimated from the estimated birth dates of his mother and his son Markgraf Leopold.  He succeeded his father in 1075 as LIUTPOLD II Markgraf of Austria.  The Chronica Boemorum records that "dux Wratislaus et sui fratres Chounradus atque Otto" fought against "orientalem marchionem Lupoldum filium Lucz", the passage being undated with the date 1082 inserted in the margin of the edition[111].  It is assumed that this refers to Markgraf Liutpold II, although the reference to "filium Lucz" is unexplained.  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis records the death in 1095 of "Liupoldus marchio"[112].  The Chronicon of Mariano Scotti records the death in 1095 of "Liupoldus marchio"[113].  The necrology of Melk records the death "IV Id Oct" of "Liupoldus marchio qui monachum vitam hic instituit"[114].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "IV Id Oct" of "Liupoldus prior marchio"[115]m IDA, daughter of --- (-Asia Minor [Sep] 1101 or after).  The parentage of Markgräfin Ida is uncertain.  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[116], she was Ida von Ratelberg, daughter of Thiemo [II] Graf [Formbach] & his wife ---, although the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified.  Wegener quotes a 12th century document concerning travel tolls at Schärding dated [1060/70] which names "filios Tiemonis Ekkebertum et Henricum et dominam Itam" as participating in the foundation of Suben monastery but he does not make the connection between this Ita and the Margräfin of Austria[117].  The chronology is not favourable for Ida having been the daughter of Graf Thiemo [II], whose death is recorded in 1040.  If this paternity was correct, Ida would therefore have been about twenty years older than her husband, and at least in her early to mid-forties when she gave birth to her son Liutpold, which seems improbable.  The primary source which confirms her name "von Ratelberg" has not yet been identified.  The Auctarium Mariaecellense in 1100 records that "Ita marchionisse Austrie, Liupoldi marchionis relicta" left for Jerusalem[118].  Albert of Aix records that "Willelmus comes et princeps Pictaviensium, de sanguine et origine Henrici tertii imperatoris Romanorum" crossed Hungary peacefully with "duce Bawariorum Welfone et…comitssa…Ida de marchia Osterrich", entered the territory of the Bulgars in which "duce Bulgarorum Guz" refused their passage into Adrianople, but that Guillaume captured "ducem Bulgarorum" who was forced to allow the pilgrims to continue, undated but in a passage adjacent to text which records events in 1101[119].  The army was scattered after being defeated by the Turks near Tarsus in Asia Minor in [Sep] 1101.  It is not known what happened to Markgräfin Ida, but she was presumably killed.  Albert of Aix says that the fate of Ida is completely unknown, but adding that "some say that she was taken into permanent exile in the kingdom of Khorazan among the thousand women who were taken"[120].  According to later legend, she ended her days in a harem where she gave birth to the Muslim hero Zengi (which is chronologically impossible): the Historia Welforum records that "Itam comitissam, matrem Leopaldi marchionis orientalis" was kidnapped by "unus de principibus Sarracenorum…ex eaque Sanguinem illum sceleratissumum, ut aiunt, progenuit"[121].  Markgraf Liutpold II & his wife had seven children: 

a)         ELISABETH (-9 Oct [1107-1111]).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis refers to three (unnamed) sisters of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie", specifying that one married "Otakarus marchio Styriæ"[122].  The Genealogia Marchionum de Stire names "Elyzabet sororem marchionis Austrie Liupoldi" as wife of "Otachyr marchionem"[123].  The Altahense Annales name "Elysabeth" as the wife of "Otakarus marchio de Styria" when recording their joint foundation in 1107 of "monasterium in Gaersten"[124].  Her marriage date is estimated from the fact that the children of Markgraf Liutpold II must have been born in the period [1080/90].  The necrology of Melk records the death "VII Id Oct" of "Elisabeth marchionissa de Stiro sor Liupoldi III marchionis de Austria"[125]m ([1090/1100]) [as his second wife,] OTAKAR II Markgraf of Styria, son of OTAKAR I Markgraf der Kärnter Mark [Styria] & his wife Willibirg of Carinthia [Eppensteiner] (-28 Nov 1122). 

b)         JUDITH (6 Aug ----, bur Melk).  The necrology of Melk records the death "VIII Id Aug" of "Iudita puella filia Liupoldi marchionis"[126]

c)         IDA .  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis refers to three (unnamed) sisters of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie", specifying that the second daughter married "comes Liutoldus de Znoym"[127].  The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified.  m LUPOLD Markgraf of Moravia, son of KONRAD II Duke of the Bohemians & his wife Willibirg [of Carniola and Istria] (-15 Mar 1112). 

d)         GERBERGA [Helbirg] (-13 Jul 1142).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis refers to three (unnamed) sisters of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie", specifying that the third daughter married "dux Boemiæ Pozwaius"[128].  The Chronica Boemorum records the marriage "XV Kal Nov 1100" of "Borivoy, frater ducis Bracizlai" with "Helbirk, orientalis marchionis Lupoldi sororem"[129].  The Monachi Sazavensis Continuatio Cosmæ records the death "III Id Iul 1142" of "Kerberk coniunx Boriwoy"[130]m BOŘIWOJ of Bohemia, son of VRATISLAV II Duke of the Bohemians & his third wife Swiętoslawa [Svatana] of Poland ([1065]-2 Feb 1124).  He succeeded in 1101 as BOŘIWOJ II Duke of the Bohemians

e)         LIUTPOLD [Leopold] ([1080/86]-15 Nov 1136, bur Stift Klosterneuburg).  The Auctarium Vindobonense records in 1096 that "Liutpoldus successit dictus pius, sextus marchio" but does not specify his relationship with his predecessor[131].  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  He succeeded his father in 1095 as LEOPOLD III "der Heilige" Markgraf of Austria

-        see below.   

f)          SOPHIE (-2 or 10 May 1154, bur Stift Melk).  Wegener quotes the Landbuch von Österreich und Steier [1255] which records that "der marchgrave Liupolt von Osterrich het zwo tochter…die andern tochter gab er dem graven Sighart der daz Scharsa hiez und gab im zu der tochter Schala"[132].  Her first marriage is confirmed by the Codex Traditionum of Formbach monastery which records a donation by "Sirus qui et Sigehardus Comes de Scala et eius consors…domna Sophia…cum filio suo Henrico", for the soul of "prioris mariti sui Karinthiorum quondam ducis Heinrici"[133].  "Sirus qui et Sigehardus comes de Scala et eius consors…domna Sophia…cum filio suo Heinrico" donated property to Kloster Formbach, for the soul of "prioris mariti sui Karinthiorum quondam ducis Heinrici", by charter dated to before 1142[134].  The Annales Mellicenses record the death in 1154 of "Sophia soror nostra ducissa de Scala"[135].  The necrology of Melk records the death "VI Non May" of "Sophia ducissa de Scala sor na"[136].  The necrology of Lilienfeld records the death "VI Id May" of "Sophia com de Scalach sor fundatoris S Crucis"[137].  The necrology of Michaelbeuern records the death "VI Non May" of "Sophia ducissa"[138]m firstly (after [1106]) as his third wife, HEINRICH II Duke of Carinthia, son of MARKWART IV Graf von der Kärtner Mark [Eppenstein] & his wife Liutbirg --- [Wilhelme] (-4 Dec 1122).  m secondly (1128) SIEGHARD [XI] Graf von Burghausen und Schala, son of SIEGHARD [X] Graf von Tengling [Sieghardinger] & his wife Ida von Süpplingenburg (-19 Apr 1142). 

g)         EUPHEMIA (-[1130]).  Wegener quotes the Landbuch von Österreich und Steier [1255] which records that "der marchgrave Liupolt von Osterrich het zwo tochter…den graven Chunrat…gab im der tochter ein, unt gab im zu der tochter Peilstein"[139].  The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified.  m as his first wife, KONRAD von Tengling, son of FRIEDRICH [II] Graf von Tengling [Sieghardinger] & his wife [Mathilde von Lechsgemünd] (-15/16/17 Mar [1168]).  Graf von Peilstein. 

2.         [JUSTIZIA (-30 Jan ----, bur Thanning).  The De Fundatoribus Monasterii Diessenses names "Iusticia cometissa" as wife of "Otto comes senior de Wolfratshausen" and in a later passage records her death "18 Kal Feb" and burial at "Danningen"[140].  The necrology of Diessen records the death "Feb III Kal" of "Justicia com, sepulta Daniggen, mater Hainrici Ratisponensis ep et Ottonis comitis fundatoris nostri"[141].  Her origin is open to some debate.  Europäische Stammtafeln indicates Justizia as the daughter of Ernst Markgraf of Austria and his first wife[142], presumably based on Lechner[143], which would explain the transmission of the name Luitpold into the Wolfratshausen family.  According to Wegener, she was the daughter of Luitpold, older brother of Markgraf Ernst, on the assumption that her father must be named Luitpold to justify the name transmission[144].  It is not certain that such an assumption is correct, and in any case the evidence for Luitpold having married is slim (see above).  Hlawitschka, noting a family relationship recorded between Heinrich Bishop of Regensburg (Justizia’s son) and Leopold III Markgraf of Austria (the Historia Welforum which records “episcopus” [=Heinrich] referring during Lent to “cognatos et amicos suis” among which “marchione orientali Leopaldi seu aliis comitibus ac tocius Bawarie fortissimis” [assuming he was one of “cognatos” not “amicos”], dated to [8 Feb/25 Mar] 1133[145]), concludes that “die Herkunftsfamilie Justicias dürfte demnach feststehen”, but that “die genaue Filiation ist aber offen[146]m OTTO [II] Graf von Wolfratshausen, son of BERTHOLD [I] Graf von Diessen & his wife --- (-12 Apr [1122]).  Graf von Diessen before 1107.] 

3.         [daughter .  Wegener suggests that Graf Hermann married twice, his second wife being the daughter of Ernst I Markgraf of Austria in order to explain the transmission of the names Ernst and Adalbert to his two younger sons[147]m [as his second wife,] HERMANN [I] Graf von Poigen, son of ---.]

 

 

LIUTPOLD von Babenberg, son of LIUTPOLD II Markgraf of Austria & his wife Ida [von Ratelberg] ([1080/86]-15 Nov 1136, bur Stift Klosterneuburg).  The Auctarium Vindobonense records in 1096 that "Liutpoldus successit dictus pius, sextus marchio" but does not specify his relationship with his predecessor[148].  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis records that "Liupoldus marchio Austrie accinctus est gladio" in 1104[149], an event recorded in 1099 in the Continuatio Prædictorum Vindobonensium[150].  It is assumed that this knighting ceremony was performed around the age of 18, which means that Liutpold was born in the range [1080/86].  This appears corroborated by the same ceremony being recorded for Liutpold's oldest son Adalbert in 1125 (see below).  He succeeded his father in 1095 as LEOPOLD III "der Heilige" Markgraf of Austria.  He founded the Cistercian monastery of Heiligenkreuz in 1133.  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis records the death "1136 XVII Kal Dec" of "Liupoldus marchio Austriæ"[151].  The necrology of Nonnberg records the death "XVII Kal Dec" of "Liupoldus marchio"[152].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "XVII Kal Dec 1136" of "Liupoldus marchio fundator huius templi"[153].  He was killed while hunting.  Canonised 2 Feb 1485[154]

m firstly --- von Perg, daughter of WALCHUN von Perg & his wife --- (-before 1105).  This first marriage is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[155], but the primary source on which it is based has not yet been identified. 

m secondly ([early] 1106) AGNES of Germany, widow of FRIEDRICH von Staufen Duke of Swabia, daughter of Emperor HEINRICH IV & his first wife Berthe de Savoie ([Summer 1072/early 1073]-28 Sep 1143, bur Klosterneuburg).  The Gesta Friderici of Otto of Freising records the marriage of "filiam unicam" of King Heinrich IV and "Fridericus dux Suevorum", naming her Agnes in a later passage[156].  In a subsequent passage, the Gesta records the second marriage of Agnes to "Leopaldo Orientali marchioni"[157].  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis records the marriage of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam", specifying that the couple had seven children who died in infancy and eleven who survived into adulthood, six sons and five daughters[158].  The marriage presumably took place early in the year if it is correct, as stated by Haverkamp, that it was arranged by Agnes's brother, the future Emperor Heinrich V, to obtain her future husband's support for his rebellion against their father[159].  The Auctarium Mellicense records that Agnes, wife of "Leopoldus marchio", gave birth to 18 children[160].  The Annales Magdeburgenses record the death in 1143 of "Agnes marchionissa mater Cuonradi regis"[161].  The necrology of Nonnberg records the death "VIII Kal Oct" of "Agnes marchionissa"[162].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "VIII Kal Oct" of "Agnes marchionissa fundatrix h e"[163]

Markgraf Leopold III & his [first/second] wife had one child:

1.         ADALBERT ([1107]-8/9 Nov [1138], bur Klosterneuburg).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[164], Adalbert was Markgraf Leopold's son by his first marriage, although the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified.  On the other hand, the Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Adalbertus primogenitus", implies (although does not specifically state) that he was the son of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam", specifies that he was "advocatus Niwenburgensis ecclesiæ" and was buried "in claustro Niwenburgensi" with his parents[165].  Markgraf 1119.  The Continuatio Prædictorum Vindobonensium records that "Adelbertus filius Leupoldi marchionis Austrie accingitur gladio cum 120 consertiis" in 1125[166].  Assuming, as postulated above in the case of his father, that this knighting ceremony took place around the age of eighteen, this would place Adalbert's birth date in [1107], after his father's second marriage.  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis records the death in 1136 of "Adelbertus filius pii marchionis", recorded in the same paragraph after the death of his father but also after the statement that his brother Leopold succeeded their father[167], which confuses the conclusion about the order in which the three of them died.  The necrology of Melk records the death "VI Id Nov" of "Adalbert fil Liutpaldi marchionis"[168].  The necrology of Lilienfeld records the death "VI Id Nov" of "Albertus marchio fil fundator S Crucis" and his burial "in Neuenbuerch"[169].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "V Id Nov" of "Adelbertus Liupoldi marchionis fil advocatus"[170]m firstly ([1128/29]) ADELHEID, daughter of --- (-before 1132).  An undated charter confirms, among many donations, the earlier donation by "Adelbertus marchionis Lopoldi filius" of property "villa…Adelrichestorf" to Kloster Neuburg for the soul of "uxoris sue Adelhait"[171]m secondly (before 1132) HEDVIG of Hungary, daughter of ÁLMOS Prince of Hungary & his wife Predslava Sviatopolkovna of Kiev.  The Chronicle of Otto of Freising refers to the wife of "Alberto Leopaldo marchionis filio" as sister of King Bela but does not name her[172].  She is named “Hedwig” in Europäische Stammtafeln[173], but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. 

Markgraf Leopold & his second wife had eighteen children:

2.         LEOPOLD (-Niederalteich 18 Oct 1141, bur Heiligenkreuz).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Liupoldus" as third son of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam", specifying that he was made Duke of Bavaria and was buried "apud Sanctam Crucem"[174].  The Continuatio states that Leopold was younger than his brother Heinrich, although if this is correct it is unclear why Leopold not Heinrich should have succeeded first as Markgraf.  He succeeded his grandfather in 1136 as LEOPOLD IV Markgraf of Austria.  His uterine half-brother Konrad III King of Germany invested him as LEOPOLD Duke of Bavaria in 1139 after depriving Heinrich "der Stolze" [Welf] of the duchy.  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis for 1142 records the death of "Liupoldus dux et marchio filius Liupoldi marchionis", specifying that his brother Heinrich succeeded him[175].  The Auctarium Sancrucense specify that he was the founder of "Sancte Crucis" and that he was buried there[176].  The necrology of Nonnberg records the death "XV Kal Nov" of "Liupoldus dux"[177].  The necrology of Lilienfeld records the death "XV Kal Nov" of "Leupoldus dux Bawarie et marchio Austrie fil fundatoris S Crucis" and his burial "in S Cruce"[178].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "XV Kal Nov" of "Liupoldus Liupoldi marchionis fil, dux Bowarie" and his donation[179].  The necrology of Heiligenkreuz records the death "XV Kal Nov 1141" of "dux et marchio Leopaldus…quintus fil s Leopoldi fundatoris" and his burial "in capitulo montii no"[180]m (Sep 1138) as her first husband, MARIA of Bohemia, daughter of SOBĚSLAV I UDALRICH Duke of the Bohemians & his wife Adelheid of Hungary.  The Canonici Wissegradensis Continuatio Cosmæ records the marriage in 1138 of "dux Sobezlaus filiam suam Mariam" with "filio Leupoldi orientalis marchionis" specifying that it was celebrated in "Moravia in Olomucensi parte"[181].  The primary source which names her husband has not yet been identified.  However, it appears that Leopold is the only son to whom the text can refer.  She married secondly Hermann III Markgraf von Baden and Verona.  The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified. 

3.         HEINRICH (-13 Jan 1177, bur Vienna Schottenkloster).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Heinricus" as second son of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam"[182].  The Continuatio states that Heinrich was older than his brother Leopold, although if this is correct it is unclear why Leopold not Heinrich should have succeeded first as Markgraf.  He succeeded his brother in 1141 as HEINRICH II "Jasomirgott" Markgraf of Austria

-        see below.

4.         BERTA (-9 Apr [1150], bur St Emmeran).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Perhta" first daughter of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam", specifying that she married "Heinricus purcravius Ratisponensis"[183].  The Notæ Genealogicæ Bavaricæ record the marriage of "purcravius" and "sororem ducis Heinrici [de Austria]"[184].  "Ratisbonensis Comes Heinricus et uxor eius Pertha" donated property to St Nikolas by charter dated to [1145][185].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "V Id Apr" of "Berhta filia Liupoldi marchionis Austrie"[186].  The necrology of the Obermünster, Regensburg records the death "V Id Apr" of "Berhta com"[187].  The necrology of Admunt records the death "V Id Apr" of "Berhta com"[188]m HEINRICH [III] Burggraf von Regensburg, son of OTTO [I] Burggraf von Regensburg & his wife Adelheid von Plötzkau (-27 Nov [1174], bur St Emmeran).

5.         AGNES ([1108/1113]-Altenburg/Thür 24/25 Jan or 26 Sep [1160/63], bur Kloster Pforte/Saale).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Agnes" as second daughter of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam", specifying that she married "Poleslaus dux de Polan"[189], although there appears to be no "Bolesław" at the time to whom this could refer.  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Agnetam" as "Leopoldis marchio et Henricus…sororem germanam" and wife of "dux Vergescelaus de Polonia"[190].  Her origin is further confirmed by a charter dated Jan 1150 in which Cardinal-deacon Guido informs Konrad III King of Germany of the steps he took against "ducis Poloniæ et coniugis eius sororis vestræ…ducis W"[191].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "VIII Kal Feb" of "Agnes ducissa Polonie filia marchionis"[192].  The necrology of Lilienfeld records the death "VI Kal Oct" of "Agnes ux Wlaslai ducis Zlezorum filia fundatoris S Crucis"[193]m ([1120/25]) WŁADYSŁAW of Poland, son of BOLESŁAW III "Krzywousty/Wrymouth" Prince of Poland & his first wife Zbislava Sviatopolkovna of Kiev (1105-30 May 1159).  He succeeded in 1138 as WŁADYSŁAW II "Wygnaniec/the Exile" Prince of Krakow and Silesia

6.         OTTO (1112-Morimond 22 Sep 1158, bur Morimond).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Otto" as fifth son of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam"[194].  Provost at Klosterneuburg in [1126].  He studied in France under Hugues de Saint-Victor.  In 1133, he became a monk with the Cistercian Order at Morimond, diocese of Langres.  Abbot of Morimond.  He was elected Bishop of Freising in 1138.  He took part in the Second Crusade in 1147.  He wrote the work of historical theology Chronica sive Historia de duabus civitatibus between 1143 and 1146.  Between 1157 and 1158, he wrote the first two books of the Gesta Friderici, dealing with the history of the kings of Germany since Heinrich IV[195].  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis records the death in 1158 of "Otto Frisingensis episcopus, Liupoldi pii marchionis filius"[196].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "X Kal Sep" of "Otto Liupoldi marchionis Austrie fil, Frisingensis eps"[197]

7.         KONRAD (1116-Admont 28 Sep 1168, bur Admont).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Chunradus" as sixth son of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam"[198].  The Annales Mellicenses record the installation in 1164 of "Pataviensis episcopus Chunradus, frater Chunradi imperatoris" as Archbishop of Salzburg and his death in 1168[199].  Canon at Köln cathedral 1139.  Provost at Utrecht cathedral 1142, at Hildesheim cathedral 1143.  Bishop of Passau 1148-1164.  Archbishop of Salzburg and Primate of Germany 1164.  The necrology of Salzburg St Rudpert records the death "IV Kal Oct" of "Chonradus Iuuauensis archiep patruus Friderici imperatoris"[200].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "IV Kal Oct 1168" of "Chunradus Liupoldi marchionis fil, Saltzburgensis archieps"[201]

8.         ELISABETH (-20 May 1143).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Elisabeth" as fourth daughter of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam", specifying that she married "Hermannus…lancravius de Saxonia"[202].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "XIII Kal Jun" of "Elizabet filia marchionis"[203]m (1142) as his first wife, HERMANN [II] Graf von Winzenburg, son of HERMANN [I] Graf von Windberg, Ratelberg und Winzenburg, Markgraf von Sachsen [Formbach] & his second wife Hedwig --- (-murdered Winzenburg 29 Jan 1152). 

9.         JUDITH (-after 1178).  The wife of Marchese Guglielmo is recorded by William of Tyre as sister of Konrad III King of Germany[204].  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Iuta" as fifth daughter of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam", specifying that she married "marchio de monte Phetran Regengerus"[205], although this appears chronologically impossible and should presumably refer to Marchese Guglielmo.  The Cronica Alberti de Bezanis refers to the wife of "Gulielmus marchio Montisferati" as "sororem domini Conradi regis Romanorum et domini Frederici ducis Suevorum"[206].  "Guilelmus marchio filius quondam Rainerii…marchionis et Julita jugalis filia quondam marchionis Leopoldi de Austria" donated property to the monastery of Grassano by charter dated [15/16] Mar 1156[207]m (before 28 Mar 1133) GUGLIELMO di Monferrato, son of RANIERI III Marchese di Monferrato & his wife Gisèle de Bourgogne-Comté (1110-1191).  He succeeded his father in [1137] as GUGLIELMO V "il Vecchio" Marchese di Monferrato

10.      ERNST ([1118]-23 Jan 1137, bur Heiligenkreuz).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Ensto" as fourth son of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam", specifying that he was buried "apud Sancto Crucem"[208].  His description as "fourth son" is inconsistent with his estimated birth date, calculated from the age specified in the entry for his death in the necrology of Heiligenkreuz (see below), which is consistent with his being described as "adolescent" when he died.  The necrology of Melk records the death "X Kal Feb" of "Ernust fil Liupaldi marchionis"[209].  The necrology of Lilienfeld records the death "X Kal Feb" of "Ernestus marchio fil fundatoris S Crucis"[210].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "X Kal Feb" of "Ernestus fil marchionis Austrie Liupoldi"[211].  The necrology of Heiligenkreuz records the death "X Kal Feb 1137" of "adolescens Ernestus s Leopoldi fundatoris fil quarto genitus 18 annos vixit" and his burial "in capitulo no"[212]

11.      GERTRUD (1120-4 Aug 1150).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Gerdrudis" as third daughter of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam", specifying that she married "Lazlau duci Boemiæ"[213].  She founded Kloster Doxan in 1143[214].  The Monachi Sazavensis Continuatio Cosmæ records the death in 1150 of "Gertrudis ducissa Boemiæ"[215].  The Annales Palidenses record the death in 1150 of "Agnes soror Conradi regis uxor Bohemia ducis"[216], "Agnes" being an error for "Gertrud".  The necrology of Windberg records the death "Non Aug" of "Gerdrudis ducissa Boemie"[217].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "Non Aug" of "Gerdrudis ducissa Boemie"[218]m (1140) as his first wife, VLADISLAV II Duke of Bohemia, son of VLADISLAV I Duke of Bohemia & his wife Richinza [Richsa] von Berg (-18 Jan 1174, bur Strahow).  He was crowned King of Bohemia at Regensburg 18 Jan 1158. 

12.      [UTA (-22 Nov before 1170, bur Stift Göttweig).  Wegener states that Uta, wife of Graf Liutold [I], was the daughter of Leopold III Markgraf of Austria, basing this on the transmission of the names Liutpold and Berta into the family of the Grafen von Plain.  It is, however, inconsistent with the Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis stating that Markgraf Leopold and his second wife had five daughters[219]m [as his second wife,] LIUTOLD Graf von Plain, son of WERIGAND Graf von Plain & his wife --- (-22/23 Jan 1164).  The Salzburg Annals record the death in 1164 of "Liutoldus de Plein comes"[220].] 

13.      [7 children died young.  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis specifies that Markgraf Leopold & his second wife had seven children who died in infancy[221].  Considering the number of children attributed to Agnes by her first husband, it is unlikely that this number can be correct as it would mean that she had approaching thirty children altogether.]

 

 

 

B.      DUKES of AUSTRIA 1156-1246 (BABENBERG)

 

 

HEINRICH von Babenberg, son of LEOPOLD III "der Heilige" Markgraf of Austria & his second wife Agnes of Germany [Staufen] (-Vienna 13 Jan 1177, bur Vienna Schottenkloster).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis names "Heinricus" as second son of "Liupoldus marchio Austrie" and "Agnetem imperatoris Heinrici IV filiam"[222].  The Continuatio states that Heinrich was older than his brother Leopold, although if this is correct it is unclear why Leopold not Heinrich should have succeeded first as Markgraf.  "…Heinricus marchionis Luibaldi filius…" witnessed the charter dated 1132, after 13 Sep, under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz donated property "in pago…Weitereibia…in comitatu Sigefridi comitis de Nuringes" to Mainz cathedral[223].  He was appointed HEINRICH Pfalzgraf von Lothringen in 1140 to replace Otto von Salm Graf von Reineck.  He resigned as Pfalzgraf in 1141 when he succeeded his brother in 1141 as HEINRICH II "Jasomirgott" Markgraf of Austria.   His uterine half-brother Konrad III King of Germany installed him as HEINRICH XI Duke of Bavaria in 1143, after retaining the duchy in his own hands for more than a year after Heinrich's death[224].  After Duke Heinrich's first wife died, the Welf family renewed its claim to the duchy of Bavaria.  Markgraf Heinrich was a candidate for the imperial throne in 1152.  He founded Schottenkloster at Vienna in 1155:  the Auctarium Sancrucense specify that he was the founder of "Scotorum"[225].  He was deprived of Bavaria in 1156 by Friedrich I "Barbarossa" King of Germany, who granted the duchy to the Welf Duke Heinrich "der Löwe" in order to settle the German kings' longstanding dispute with the Welf family[226].  By way of compensation, Heinrich II was invested, jointly with his wife, at Regensburg 8 Sep 1156 with the march of Austria which was elevated to the status of duchy, Heinrich thereby becoming Duke of Austria[227].  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis records the death in 1177 in Vienna of "Heinricus dux Austriæ" and his burial "in monasterio Scotorum"[228].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "Id Jan" of "Heinricus dux Austrie"[229].  The necrology of Seccovi records the death "Id Jan" of "Hainricus dux Austrie"[230].  The necrology of Heiligenkreuz records the death "Id Jan 1177" of "Henricus dux Austriæ fil fundatoris"[231].  He died after falling from his horse. 

m firstly (1 May 1142) as her second husband, GERTRUD von Süpplingenburg, widow of HEINRICH X "der Stolze" Duke of Saxony and Bavaria [Welf], daughter of Emperor LOTHAR III King of Germany, Graf von Süpplingenburg & his wife Richenza von Northeim (18 Apr 1115-18 or 20 Apr 1143, bur Klosterneuburg).  The Annalista Saxo names "filiam suam [=Lothar] Gertrudem", when recording her marriage in 1127 to "Bawaie duci Heinrico, ducis Heinrici et Wulfilde Magni ducis filio"[232].  The Annales Mellicenses record the marriage in 1142 of "Marchio Heinricus" and "Gerdrudam, filiam Lotharii imperatoris"[233].  This marriage was agreed as part of the temporary settlement of the dispute between Konrad III King of Germany and the Welf family agreed in 1142[234].  The necrology of Melk records the death "XII Kal May" of "Gerdrut ducissa"[235].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "XII Kal May" of "Gerdrudis ducisse Heinrici ducis Austrie ux"[236].  She died in childbirth. 

m secondly (betrothed early 1148, [Sep] 1148) THEODORA Komnene, daughter of ANDRONIKOS Komnenos, sébastocrator & his wife Eirene [Aineiadissa] (-2 Jan [1184/85], bur Vienna Schottenkloster).  Niketas Choniates names "Alexius, Andronicus et…Isaacius" as the three brothers of Emperor Manuel, stating that Andronikos left daughters "Mariam, Theodoram et Eudociam"[237].  The Annales Mellicenses in 1149 record the marriage of "dux Heinricus, filius Liupaldi marchionis" and "filiam…fratris regis Grecorum Theodora"[238].  It is likely that Theodora, daughter of Andronikos, married Markgraf Heinrich as Andronikos's brother Isaakios is recorded with a daughter named Theodora and his brother Alexios is only recorded as having one child.  The marriage was arranged by Konrad III King of Germany, her husband's half-brother, while he was staying with Emperor Manuel I recuperating from ill-health.  The marriage took place during a second visit after King Konrad had left Palestine and was on his way home to Germany[239].  She was invested jointly with her husband with the march of Austria in 1156[240].  She adopted the name GERTRUD in Austria.  The Annales Mellicenses in 1185 record the death of "Theodora que et Gerdrudis ducissa"[241].  The Continuatio Zwetlensis Altera records the death "1184 IV Non Ian" of "Theodora ducissa Austrie"[242].  The necrology of Seccovi records the death "IV Non Jan" of "Theodora ducissa Austrie"[243].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "IV Non Jan" of "Theodora ux Heinrici ducis"[244]

Duke Heinrich & his first wife had one child:

1.         RICHARDIS (1143 before 18 Apr-24/25 Feb 1200, bur Klosterneuburg, later transferred to Heiligenkreuz).  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  Wegener refers to a source dated [1185] which names "Rickardis" as wife of "Heinricus comes provincialis" but does not give her origin[245].  The necrology of Vorau records the death "VI Kal Mar" of "Rickardis lantgravia"[246].  The necrology of Salzburg Cathedral records the death "V Kal Mar" of "Reichgardis lantgravia"[247]m HEINRICH [V] Landgraf von Stefling, son of OTTO [II] Burggraf von Regensburg, Landgraf von Stefling & his wife Adelheid von Wittelsbach (-1 May, after 1190). 

Duke Heinrich & his second wife had three children:

2.         AGNES ([1154]-13 Jan 1182, bur Vienna Schottenkloster).  A manuscript Genealogia marchionum Austrie, written [1181/92], names "Liupoldum et Hainricum filios et filiam Agnetem" as the children of "Hainricus dux ex coniuge Theodora Greca", adding that Agnes married firstly "Stephano regi Ungarorum" and secondly "Herimanno duci Karinthie"[248].  The Continuatio Admuntensis for 1166 records the marriage of "filia Heinrici ducis Austria" and "Stephano regi Ungariæ"[249].  She returned to Vienna with her father, who arrived at the Hungarian court at Esztergom, en route to Palestine, the day after her first husband died[250].  "Domine Agnetis ducisse…cum filio suo Wdalrico adhuc infantulo" donated property to Kloster St Paul, as planned by "mariti sui domini…Hermanni", by charter dated Dec 1181[251]m firstly (1168) ISTVÁN III King of Hungary, son of GÉZA II King of Hungary & his wife Ievfrosina Mstislavna of Kiev (1147-murdered 4 Mar 1172).  m secondly (after 1172) HERMANN II Duke of Carinthia, son of ULRICH I Duke of Carinthia & his wife Judith von Baden (-4 Oct 1181).

a)         HEINRICH "der Jüngere" (-[22 May] 1236, bur Heiligenkreuz).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Herzog von Mödling. 

 

 

LEOPOLD von Babenberg, son of HEINRICH II "Jasomirgott" Duke of Austria & his second wife Theodora Komnene (1157-Graz 31 Dec 1194, bur Heiligenkreuz).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis records the birth in 1157 of "Heinrico duci Austriæ filius…Liupoldus"[262].  The Annales Mellicenses name "Liupoldus et frater eius Heinricus, filii ducis Heinrici de Austria", recording that they "gladium acceperunt" in 1174[263].  He succeeded his father in 1177 as LEOPOLD V Duke of Austria.  He arrived in Palestine from Venice in early spring 1191, and tried to assume leadership of the German army after the death of Friedrich Duke of Swabia [Hohenstaufen][264].  He left for home a few days after the final capitulation of Acre 12 Jul 1191, after a dispute with Richard I King of England about the assignment of quarters in the town[265].  He was created Duke of Styria (Steiermark) 24 May 1192 at Worms.  The Annales Mellicenses in 1195 record the death "II Kal Ian" of "Liupoldus dux Austriæ et Stiriæ apud Graeze"[266].  He died from injuries received when he fell from his horse during a tournament[267].  The Auctarium Sancrucense specify that he was buried in "Sancte Crucis"[268]

m (12 May 1174) ILONA of Hungary, daughter of GÉZA II King of Hungary & his wife Ievfrosina Mstislavna of Kiev ([1158]-25 May 1199).  The Annales Mellicenses record the marriage in 1174 of "Helenam sororem regis Avarorum" and "Liupoldus…de Austria"[269].  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the wife of "dux Austrie Leopoldus" as "sorore regis Bele Hungarie"[270].  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis records the death in 1199 of "Helena ducissa Austrie"[271].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "VIII Kal Jan" of "Helena ducissa Austrie"[272], although this date is inconsistent with other records. 

Duke Leopold V & his wife had [four] children: 

1.         FRIEDRICH (-Palestine on crusade 16 Apr 1198, bur Heiligenkreuz).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis name "Fridericus et Leupoldus" as sons of "Leopoldus dux"[273].  He succeeded his father in 1195 as FRIEDRICH I "der Katholische" Duke of Austria.  The Continuatio Admuntensis for 1197 records the death "in peregrinatione sancte crucis" of "Fridericus dux Austrie"[274].  The necrology of Heiligenkreuz records the death "XVI Kal 1198" of "Fridericus…primus pronepos s Leopoldi fundatoris" and his burial "in capitulo no"[275]Betrothed (Feb 1194) to ELEONORE de Bretagne, daughter of GEOFFROY of England Duke of Brittany & his wife Constance Dss of Brittany (1184-Corfe Castle, Dorset or Bristol 10 Aug 1241, bur Bristol, St James, transferred to Amesbury convent).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Arturum iuvenum et filiam unam Alienordem" as children of "Gaufridus dux Britannie comes Richemontis filius Henrici regis Anglie natu tertius" & his wife[276].  She is named as daughter of "Galfridi comitis Britanniæ" by Matthew of Paris[277].  The primary source which confirms her betrothal has not yet been identified.  This betrothal was agreed as part of the terms for the release of Richard I King of England from the custody of Emperor Heinrich VI King of Germany in Feb 1194, together with that of Friedrich's younger brother to the daughter of Isaakios Dukas Komnenos ex-Emperor of Cyprus[278].  The two brides left for Vienna from Normandy in Dec 1194 in the charge of Baudouin de Béthune, but turned back when they learnt of the death of Leopold V Duke of Austria[279]

2.         LEOPOLD ([1176/77]-San Germano 28 Jul 1230, bur Lilienfeld).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis name "Fridericus et Leupoldus" sons of "Leopoldus dux"[280].  He succeeded his father in 1195 as Duke of Styria[281], and his brother in 1198 as LEOPOLD VI "der Glorreiche" Duke of Austria

-        see below.   

3.         AGNES (-4 Aug ----).  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "II Non Aug" of "Agnes filia ducis Liupoldi"[282].  It is assumed that this refers to a daughter of Duke Leopold V as the death of Agnes, daughter of Duke Leopold VI is recorded in the same document under 29 Aug. 

4.         [BERTA (-5 Mar ----).  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "III Non Mar" of "Perhta filia Liupoldi ducis"[283].  It is not certain that Berta was the daughter of Duke Leopold V.  However, this appears probable as the children of Duke Leopold VI are better documented in the sources and so are less likely to have been overlooked.] 

 

 

LEOPOLD von Babenberg, son of LEOPOLD V Duke of Austria & his wife Ilona of Hungary ([1176/77]-San Germano 28 Jul 1230, bur Lilienfeld).  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis name "Fridericus et Leupoldus" sons of "Leopoldus dux"[284].  He succeeded his father in 1195 as Duke of Styria, and his brother in 1198 as LEOPOLD VI "der Glorreiche" Duke of Austria.  He set sail from Split for Palestine on crusade in Sep 1217 and landed at Acre sixteen days later.  He helped with the reconstruction of Caesarea, and the siege of Damietta in Egypt 1218/19[285].  The Continuatio Admuntensis records the death "1230 V Kal Aug" of "Liupoldus secundus dux Austrie Stirieque"[286].  The necrology of Salzburg St Rudpert records the death "V Kal Aug" of "Liupoldus dux Austrie et Stirie"[287].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "V Kal Aug 1230" of "Liupoldus dux Austrie et Stirie"[288]

Betrothed (Feb 1194) to --- "la Damsel de Chypre", daughter of ISAAKIOS Dukas Komnenos ex-Emperor [of Cyprus] & his first wife --- of Armenia ([1177/78]-after 1204).  Her name is not recorded.  Rüdt-Collenberg[289] speculates that she was "Beatrice domicella" who received a substantial bequest under the will of Joan of England, dowager Queen of Sicily, Ctss de Toulouse, with whom "la Damsel de Chypre" spent many years.  This betrothal was agreed as part of the terms for the release of Richard I King of England from the custody of Emperor Heinrich VI King of Germany in Feb 1194, along with that of his older brother to Eléonore de Bretagne, the object being that Leopold should subsequently found a new dynasty of Kings of Cyprus with the heir to the island[290].  The two brides left for Vienna from Normandy in Dec 1194 in the charge of Baudouin de Béthune, but turned back when they learnt of the death of Leopold V Duke of Austria[291]

m (Vienna 1203) THEODORA, daughter of --- ([1180/90]-Kahlenberg 21 or 23 Jun 1246, bur Klosterneuburg).  The Annales Mellicenses record the marriage in 1203 of "Liupoldus dux Austriæ et Styriæ" and "Theodoram filiam regis Grecorum"[292], although given her absence from Byzantine sources it appears unlikely that Theodora was the daughter of an emperor.  The Continuatio Admuntensis states that she was "Constantinopolitani imperatoris ex filia neptem", specifying that her marriage was celebrated in Vienna[293].  If interpreted literally, that source would indicate that Theodora was the daughter of an emperor’s daughter.  The name of the emperor in question is not specified.  If Theodora was a member of the Angelos family, from a chronological point of view her grandfather could have been Emperor Alexios III if she had been born in the last part of the date range estimated above.  However, medieval western sources were often imprecise in describing family relationships within the Byzantine imperial families.  It is possible therefore that Theodora was more remotely related to the imperial family, or even that she belonged to the Komnenos or Dukas imperial families as suggested in the document BYZANTIUM 1057-1204.  Theodora is shown as the possible daughter of Ioannes Angelos in Europäische Stammtafeln[294], but the basis for this speculation has not been ascertained.  She became a nun at Kahlenberg.  The necrology of Salzburg St Rudpert records the death "II Kal Jun" of "Theodora ducissa Austrie et Styrie"[295].  The necrology of Lilienfeld records the death "XI Kal Jul" of "Theodora ducissa ux fundatoris ni Leupoldi"[296].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "IX Kal Jul" of "Theodora ducissa Austrie et Stirie sor na"[297]

3.         LEOPOLD (25 Mar 1207-Klosterneuburg 13 Aug 1216, bur Kloster Neuburg).  The Continuatio Admuntensis records the birth "VIII Kal Apr 1207" of "Liupoldo Austriæ Styriæque duci filius eiusdem nomine"[312].  The Continuatio Claustroneoburgensis records the death in 1216 of "Liupoldus dux puer, filius ducis Liupoldi"[313].  The Continuatio Prædictorum Vindobonensium specifies that he died "apud Naumburch"[314].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "Id Aug" of "Liupoldus, Liupoldi ducis Austrie fil fr n" and his burial at Kloster Neuburg[315].  He died after falling from a tree[316]

4.         HEINRICH "der Grausame" (1208-3 Jan 1228, bur Klosterneuburg).  The Annales Mellicenses name "Heinricus filius Liupoldi ducis" when recording his marriage[317].  The Continuatio Scotorum in 1227 records the death of "Heinricus iuvenis dux, filius ducis Liupoldi II"[318], the Continuatio Sancrucensis confirming the date as 1228[319].  The Continuatio Zwetlensis names him "Henrici de Medlico" when recording his daughter's marriage with "Henricus marchio de Paden"[320].  The Auctarium Sancrucense records that "Heinricus dux de Medlico" was buried in "Sancte Crucis" with his wife "Reiza"[321].  The necrology of Melk records the death "II Non Jan" of "Hainricus fil Liupoldi ducis"[322].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "VI Kal Jan" of "Heinricus Liupoldi ducis Austrie fil"[323], although this date is inconsistent with other records.  m (Nürnberg 20 Nov 1225) as her first husband, AGNES von Thüringen, daughter of HERMANN I Landgraf of Thuringia & his second wife Sophie von Wittelsbach ([1204]-24 Feb before 1244, bur Heiligenkreuz).  The Annales Mellicenses in 1226 record the marriage of "Heinricus filius Liupoldi ducis" and "Agnetem filiam langravii de Duringia"[324].  The Cronica Reinhardsbrunnensis names "Agnes" as second daughter of "Hermannus" & his second wife, specifying that she married "ducis Austrie"[325].  She married secondly as his second wife, Albrecht I Duke of Saxony.  The necrology of Heiligenkreuz records the death "VI Kal Mar" of "ducissa Richardis sor Ludovici Thuringiæ lantgravii mariti s Elizabethæ, ux Henrici…quinti cognomento Crudelis" and her burial "in capitulo no", specifying that her husband was last of the line and that their child was named Gertrud[326].  Although the other details are correct, the name "Richardis" is a mistake for "Agnes", resulting from confusion with the wife of Heinrich Duke of Mödling, paternal uncle of Duke Heinrich "der Grausame".  Duke Heinrich & his wife had one child: 

a)         GERTRUD ([1228]-24 Apr 1288).  Herzogin von Mödling.  She succeeded her uncle in 1246 as GERTRUD Titular Dss of Austria and Styria, although the duchies had escheated to the emperor after her uncle's death and came under direct imperial administration[327].  The Canonicorum Pragensium Continuationes Cosmæ records that "Wladislao filio regis Bohemiæ" married "filia…Henrici quondam ducis Austriæ" in 1246[328].  The Annales Mellicenses in 1246 record the marriage of "Gerdrudem, filiam ducis Heinrici" and "filius regis Boemorum" and in 1248 her marriage to "Hermannus marchio de Badem"[329].  The Continuatio Garstensis records her third marriage in 1252 with "rex Ruscie", specifying that it was arranged by Béla King of Hungary[330].  The Continuatio Florianensis names her third husband "Romanus rex Russie"[331].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "VIII Kal May" of "Gerdrudis ducissa Austrie filia ducis Henrici et nepta Leupoldi ducis"[332]m firstly (dispensation 8 Dec 1244, 1246 shortly after 15 Jun) VLADISLAV Markgraf of Moravia, son of WENZEL I King of Bohemia & his wife Kunigunde von Hohenstaufen (-3 Jan 1247).  Duke of Austria, in right of his wife, 1246-1247.  Herzog von Troppau.  m secondly (mid 1248) HERMANN VI Markgraf von Baden, son of HERMANN V Markgraf von Baden & his wife Irmgard von der Pfalz (-4 Oct 1250, bur Klosterneuburg).  Duke of Austria, in right of his wife, 1248-1250.  The Annales Mellicenses record the death in 1250 of "Hermannus marchio de Badem"[333].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "IV Non Oct" of "Hermannus dux Austrie et com de Paden"[334]m thirdly (27 Jul 1252, divorced 1253) as his first wife, ROMAN Danilovich Prince of Slonim, son of DANIIL Romanovich Prince [later King] of Galich & his first wife Anna Mstislavna of Novgorod (1230-after 1260).  Duke of Austria, by right of his wife, 1251-1252. 

5.         FRIEDRICH ([1210]-killed in battle an der Leitha 15 Jun 1246, bur Heiligenkreuz).  The Annales Mellicenses names "Fridericus filius Liuopoldi ducis" when recording his marriage[335].  He succeeded his father in 1230 as FRIEDRICH II "der Streitbare" Duke of Austria and Styria.  Lord of Carniola 1232.  His policy of territorial expansion triggered a mass of complaints against him at the imperial diets.  Emperor Friedrich II was forced to act when Wenzel of Bohemia and others expressed reluctance, in light of Duke Friedrich's hostility, to divert troops from domestic protection for an imperial expedition against the Lombards[336].  The emperor imposed an imperial ban on Duke Friedrich in Jun 1236, troops from neighbouring territories intervened to execute the order and the duke was forced to flee Vienna for Neustadt[337].  Duke Friedrich defeated the opposition at Steinfeld, and the emperor was forced to intervene and occupy Vienna where he installed Ecbert Bishop of Bamberg as imperial regent and proclaimed the annexation of Austria and Styria to the empire[338].  This move, unpopular with the original complainants, impelled King Wenzel to negotiate an alliance with Duke Friedrich, in opposition to the emperor, under which Austria transferred territories north of the Danube to Bohemia[339].  The emperor was obliged to lift the ban in 1237[340].  The Auctarium Sancrucense records that "Fredericus dux Austrie et Stirie" was killed in battle "XVI Kal Iul 1246" and buried in "Sancte Crucis"[341].  After the death of Duke Friedrich, Austria escheated to the emperor, although a general uprising against the imperial procurator, Otto von Eberstein, diminished the value of this acquisition[342].  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "XVII Kal Jul 1246" of "Fridericus dux Austrie Stirie"[343].  The necrology of Heiligenkreuz records the death "XVII Kal Jul" of "Fridericus secundus cognomento Bellicosus abnepos s Leopoldi fundatoris" and his burial "in capitulo monasterii no", specifying that he was fifth Duke of Austria and last of the line[344]Betrothed (1226, contract broken 1229) to [EVDOKIA] Laskarina, daughter of THEODOROS I Emperor in Nikaia & his first wife Anna Angelina ([1210/12]-[1247/53]).  The Annales Sancti Rudberti Salisburgenses record that “iunior filius ducis” (following the sentence recording the dispute between “Liupoldum ducem Austrie et filium suum maiorem”) married “sororem regine Ungarie” in 1226[345].  This presumably refers to Maria Laskarina, who was not queen at the time of the event but had become queen by the time the document was probably written.  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that "dux Austrie" married one of the daughters (mentioned second) of "Lascarum Grecum" and that the fourth daughter married "Anselmus de Kiev, de Pontivo natus"[346].  None of the Greek sources, presumably compiled with more accurate local knowledge than the western European sources, records that Emperor Theodoros Lascaris had four daughters.  If the emperor only had three daughters, the daughter who was betrothed to Friedrich of Austria was Evdokia.  No evidence has been found pointing to the bride of Friedrich of Austria being Theodoros’s daughter by his second or third marriages.  The following sources indicate that the marriage arrangement was terminated.  The Continuatio Prædictorum Vindobonensium records in 1229 that “dux Fridericus Austrie” repudiated his wife “neptem regis Ungarie” with the consent of “patre suo Leupoldo” and later married “filiam ducis Meranie[347].  The Continuatio Scotorum records in 1230 that “dux Fridericus” married “filiam ducis Merannie” after repudiating “sororis regine Ungarie[348].  It is difficult to assess from all these sources whether the marriage actually took place or whether the arrangement remained at the betrothal stage.  Presumably there would be some evidence of Papal intervention in the primary sources concerning the divorce if the couple had been married.  m (1229, divorced 1240) as her first husband, AGNES von Andechs-Merano, daughter of OTTO I Duke of Merano, Comte Palatin de Bourgogne [Andechs] & his first wife Beatrix de Bourgogne-Comté (-[1 Nov 1260/7 Jan 1263], bur Sittich).  The Annales Mellicenses record the marriage in 1229 of "Fridericus filius Liuopoldi ducis" and "filiam ducis Meranie"[349].  The Continuatio Garstensis names "Fridericus dux Austrie Agnetem uxorem suam de Merania", when recording the couple's separation[350].  The Continuatio Prædictorum Vindobonensium records that her husband repudiated her in 1244[351].  She married secondly (Papal dispensation 23 Dec 1248) as his first wife, Ulrich III Duke of Carinthia [Sponheim].  Pope Innocent IV issued a dispensation for the marriage of “Ulricum natum ducis Corinthie” and “Agnetem neptem patriarchæ Aquilegiensis relictam quondam ducis Austræ”, related “tertio affinitatis gradu”, dated 23 Dec 1248[352]

6.         KONSTANZE (1212-1243, before 5 Jun, bur Meissen Cathedral, Kloster Altzelle).  The Annales Mellicenses record the marriage in 1235 of "soror ducis Austrie" and "Marchio de Meissen"[353].  She is named "Constanciam" in the Continuatio Admuntensis[354].  The Continuatio Prædictorum Vindobonensium specifies that the marriage took place "aput Ringlinse ubi multi principes convenerant"[355].  The “Lochauer Inschriften” record the burial in Meissen Cathedral (“in der fursten cappellen [=Altzelle]”) of “marcgrave Henrich, marggraven Ditterichs son...”, who died 1288, and “mit dessen...dreyen frawen...Agnes, dy eynes konigis zcw Behmen schwester gewest ist, und...Constancia, dy eyne [herczoginne] von Osterreich gewest ist, und mit frawen Elisabeth...” [reversing the order of the first and second marriages][356]m (1 May 1234) as his first wife, HEINRICH "der Erlauchte" Markgraf von Meissen, son of DIETRICH "der Bedrängte" Markgraf von Meissen und der Niederlausitz [Wettin] & his wife Jutta von Thüringen ([21 May/23 Sep]1218-1288, before 8 Feb, bur Altzelle).  Landgraf of Thuringia and Pfalzgraf von Sachsen 1247.  

7.         GERTRUD (-1241).  The Annales Mellicenses in 1239 record the marriage of "sororem Friderici ducis Austrie ac Stirie" and "Lantgravius Duoringie"[357].  The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified.  m (Wiener Neustadt Feb 1238) as his second wife, HEINRICH RASPE von Thüringen, son of HERMANN I Pfalzgraf von Sachsen Landgraf of Thuringia & his second wife Sophie von Wittelsbach ([1204]-Wartburg 19 Feb 1247, bur Eisenach St Katharinenkloster).  He succeeded his nephew in 1241 as HEINRICH RASPE IV Landgraf of Thuringia.  Anti-King of Germany 22 May 1246.

Chapter 4.    DUKES of AUSTRIA 1276-1493 (HABSBURG)

 

 

RUDOLF von Habsburg, son of ALBRECHT IV "der Weise" Graf von Habsburg & his wife Heilwig von Kiburg (Burg Limburg, Upper Rhine 1 May 1216-Germersheim near Speyer 15 Jul 1291, bur Speyer Cathedral).  The Ellenhardi Chronicon names "Ruodolfus rex Romanorum" as son of "Alberti comitis in Habichburg…lantgravius Alsatie superioris"[361].  The Chronicon Colmarense records the birth "1218 Kal Mai" of "comes Rudolfus de Habisburch", specifying that he was "de progenie ducis Zeringie"[362].  He succeeded his father in 1240 as Graf von Habsburg, Landgraf von Thurgau, at which time the family’s territories extended from the left bank of the Rhine at Lake Constance to the Vosges.  He was one of the few Swabian noblemen who remained loyal to Konrad IV King of Germany against the papal party and the anti-king Willem II Count of Holland, but defected to the papal side in 1251[363].  Landgraf von Kiburg, after the death of his maternal uncle Graf Hartmann in 1264.  He was elected RUDOLF I King of Germany 1 Oct 1273 at Frankfurt-am-Main, with the support especially of Werner von Eppenstein Archbishop of Mainz and of Friedrich Burggraf von Nürnberg, defeating the rival candidate Přemysl Otakar II King of Bohemia and Duke of Austria.  He was crowned at Aachen 24 Oct 1273.  King Rudolf immediately implemented the policy of return to the empire of all properties unlawfully appropriated since the deposition of Emperor Friedrich II in 1245, promulgated at the Diet of Nürnburg 19 Nov 1274[364].  This included the return of the duchies of Austria and Styria from Přemysl Otakar II King of Bohemia, against whom Rudolf declared war.  A charter dated 19 Oct 1275 confirmed the consecration of the church of Lausanne, recording as present "Rodulfo Rege Alemaniæ…regina Anna uxor dicti Regis cum liberis eorundem Alberto, Hartmanno, Rodulfo et Samsone cum aliis quatuor filiabus dicti regis"[365].  Rudolf became Duke of Austria and Steiermark (Styria) after King Otakar’s abdication under the temporary peace of 21 Nov 1276, confirmed by treaty 6 May 1277.  Rudolf's position was confirmed definitively after he defeated King Otakar at the battle of Marchfeld near Dürnkrut 26 Aug 1278.  Duke Rudolf abdicated in Austria and Styria in favour of his sons Albrecht I and Rudolf II in Dec 1282.  Negotiations were underway with Pope Gregory X for Rudolf’s coronation as emperor 2 Feb 1276, but these were suspended by the Pope’s death 10 Jan 1276.  The premature deaths of the three succeeding Popes prevented finalisation of the negotiations, although Rudolf renounced all claims over the Romagna 14 Feb 1279 as part of the deal proposed with Pope Nicolas III.  Pope Honorius IV set 2 Feb 1287 for the ceremony but Rudolf postponed the date as he was unable to arrive in Rome in time.  German/Papal rivalry over the extent of the papal powers over the German clergy resulted in further postponements.  King Rudolf died during the papacy of Nicolas IV without the coronation ever having taken place.  The necrology of Königsfelden records the death "Id Jul 1290" of "dominus Ruod Romanorum rex"[366].  The Gesta Alberti Regis, ducis Austriæ records that King Rudolf was buried at Speyer[367]

m firstly (1243 or 1245) GERTRUD [Anna] von Hohenberg, daughter of BURCHARD V Graf von Hohenberg [Zollern] & his wife Mechtild von Tübingen ([1230/35]-Vienna 16 Feb 1281, bur Basel Münster).  The Chronicon Colmarense records that "comitissa uxor regis Rudolfi" was "filia comitis Burkardi de Hohenberg"[368].  The Annales Sindelfingenses record that "regina Rudolfi" was "filia sororis comitis Rudolfi de Tuwingen"[369].  Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 27 Feb 1271 under which her husband "Rudolfus…de Kiburch et de Hapsburch comes nec non Alsacie Lantgravius" sold property "pro dote nobilis mulieris Gerdrudis uxoris nostre" to Kloster St Märgen auf dem Schwarzwald, with the consent of "fratrum suorum Alberti, Burchardi et Ulrici Comitum de Hohinberg", by charter dated 27 Feb 1271[370].  The Annales Sancti Udalrici et Afræ Augustenses name "Anna uxor domini Rudolfi regis de Hapsburg" as sister of "comitem de Heigerloch"[371].  Heiress of Schlettstadt in Alsace.  A charter dated 19 Oct 1275 confirmed the consecration of the church of Lausanne, recording as present "Rodulfo Rege Alemaniæ…regina Anna uxor dicti Regis cum liberis eorundem Alberto, Hartmanno, Rodulfo et Samsone cum aliis quatuor filiabus dicti regis"[372].  The Ratisponensis Annales record the death in 1281 of "uxor Rudolfi Romanorum regis Anna"[373].  The Annales Hospitalis Argentinenses record the death in 1281 of "regina uxor Rudolfi regis" in Bohemia and her burial "in Basilea"[374].  The Annales Sindelfingenses record the death "1281 in vigilia Matthiæ" of "regina uxor Rudolfi regis in Wina" and her burial "in Basilea"[375].  The necrology of Königsfelden records the death "XIII Kal Mar" of "Anna regina Romanorum consors…Ruodolfi Romanorum regis"[376]

m secondly (Rumarico monte 5 Feb 1284 or Basel [28 May/24 Jun] 1284 or [5 Feb or 6 Mar] 1285) AGNES [Isabelle] de Bourgogne, daughter of HUGUES IV Duke of Burgundy & his second wife Béatrice de Champagne (-after 20 Nov 1294).  The Ellenhardi Chronicon records the marriage in 1284 "in civitate Basilicasi…intra festum Pentecostes et festum Iohannis baptiste" of King Rudolf and "Elisabetam filiam ducis Ottonis senioris Burgundie dicti de Tygun apud Rymilisberg"[377].  The Annales Colmarienses record the marriage "in Rumarico monte in festo sancte Agate" of "rex Ruodolphus" and "uxorem Gallicam" in 1284[378].  She adopted the name AGNES in 1284.  The testament of “Hugo de Burgundia, dominus Montis Regalis” dated 1 Apr 1285 names “filiam meam Beatricem…uxor mea Margarita…Ysabellam Romanorum reginam, B. comitissam Marchie, et Marguaritam dominam Allaii uxorem Johannis de Cabilone militis, sorores meas[379].  Dame de Vieux-Château et d´Aigney-le Duc by grant 20 Nov 1294[380].  According to Du Chesne, Isabelle married “Pierre de Chambly le jeune seigneur de Chambly[381].  This statement is proved incorrect by a document dated May 1321 which records that “Pierre de Chambli seigneur de Neaufle fils de Pierre seigneur de Chambli” had married “Isabeau fille de Jean de Bourgogne fils de Hugues de Vienne et d´Alis de Méranie comtesse palatine de Bourgogne” and that Isabelle “sœur de Henri de Bourgogne fils du susdit Jean” was present when the latter reached agreement with Jeanne Queen of France regarding “le château de Montrond près de Besançon[382]

Mistress (1): ITA, daughter of --- (-before 1287).  Her relationship with King Rudolf is confirmed by the charter dated 1287 under which [her son] “Albertus comes de Lewenstein” donated “jus patronatus ecclesie in Erstetten Spirensis diœceseos” to Kloster Lichtenstern in return for a mass on the anniversary of “matris nostre domine Ite prie memorie[383], read together with the source quoted below which names Albrecht Graf von Löwenstein as King Rudolf´s son.

3.         KATHARINA (1256-Landshut 4 Apr 1282, bur Kloster Seligenthal near Landshut).  The Chonicon Colmariense records the betrothal in 1276 of a daughter of King Rudolf I to "filius ducis Bavariæ" but does not name her[390].  The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified.  Her marriage was arranged after her future father-in-law swore allegiance to her father in 1276, with a dowry of 40,000 marks.  The support of Lower Bavaria was decisive in Rudolf I’s struggle with Otakar Přemysl II King of Bohemia over Austria.  The alliance broke down shortly after the marriage took place, the dowry being underpaid by 3,000 marks[391].  The necrology of Seligenthal records the death "II Non Apr" of "Katharina filia regis Romanorum"[392]m (Betrothed 1276, Vienna Jan 1279) as his first wife, OTTO von Bayern-Niederbayern, son of HEINRICH I Duke of Lower Bavaria & his wife Erszébet of Hungary (11 Feb 1261-Landshut 9 Sep 1312, bur Seligenthal).  He succeeded his father in 1290 as OTTO III Joint-Duke of Lower Bavaria.  He emerged as a rival candidate for the throne of Hungary, supported by the Hungarian nobility after the departure of Wenzel of Bohemia, and was elected at Székesfehérvár 6 Dec 1305 as BÉLA V King of Hungary.  He was captured in 1308 by supporters of Charles Robert and released only when he agreed to abandon his claim to Hungary[393].  No surviving issue.

4.         AGNES [Gertrud] ([1257]-Wittenberg 11 Oct 1322, bur Wittenberg Franciscan Monastery, removed 1883 to Wittenberg Schloßkirche).  The Chonicon Colmariense records that one daughter of King Rudolf I married "ducis Saxonie" in 1273[394].  The Cronica Principum Saxonie refers to the wife of "Albertum [filium Alberti dux]" as "filiam Rodolphi regis Romanorum"[395].  Her marriage was arranged to secure her future father-in-law’s support for her father’s election as King of Germany.  “Agnes...Alberti quondam ducis Saxonie relicta nec non Rudolfus...dux et comes in Bren” confirmed a purchase by the citizens of Wittenberg by charter dated Jun 1301[396].  An epitaph at Wittenberg Franciscans records the death 1322 of “domina Hagnæ uxor Alberti II ducis Saxoniæ filia imperat. Rodolphi[397]m (Oct 1273) ALBRECHT II Duke of Saxony Burggraf von Magdeburg, son of ALBRECHT I Duke of Saxony [Askanier] & his third wife Helene von Braunschweig (-in battle near Acre, Palestine 25 Aug 1298, bur Wittenberg, Franciscan Monastery, removed 1883 Wittenberg Schloßkirche). 

5.         HEDWIG (-[26 Jan 1285/27 Oct 1286], bur Kloster Lehnin).  Pulcawa's Bohemian Chronicle records the marriage of "Ottoko, filius Ottonis tercii et frater Ottonis longi" and "filiam Rudolphi regis Romanorum"[398].  The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified.  m (Vienna Feb 1270, confirmed Vienna Dominikanerkirche 1279) OTTO VI "der Kleine" Markgraf von Brandenburg, son of OTTO III Markgraf von Brandenburg [Askanier] & his wife Beatrix [Božena] of Bohemia ([3/17] Nov 1264-Lehnin 6 Jul 1303, bur Kloster Lehnin).  After his wife died, he entered the Order of the Templars, and shortly after became a Cistercian monk at Lehnin.   No issue.

6.         KLEMENTIA von Habsburg ([1262]-end-Aug 1295, bur Naples, Cathedral of San Gennaro).  The Annales Colmarienses record that "filia regis Ruodolphi" was sent to Lombardy for her marriage to "filio regis Caroli" in 1281[399].  The Chronicon Dubnicense records that "Karolum Marcellum" married "filia imperatoris Rodolphi Clemencia"[400].  Her marriage was planned between her father and Pope Gregory X Oct 1275 to confirm her father’s alliance with Charles I King of Sicily, her future husband’s grandfather.  m (Vienna Jan 1281) CHARLES MARTEL of Sicily, son of CHARLES Principe di Salerno [later CHARLES II King of Sicily] & his wife Maria of Hungary (early Sep 1271-Naples from the plague 12 Aug 1295, bur Naples, Cathedral of San Gennaro).  He styled himself KAROLY King of Hungary from 20 Mar 1292, but it does not seem that he was ever crowned or indeed ruled in his kingdom. 

7.         HARTMANN von Habsburg (Rheinfelden 1263-between Breisach and Strasbourg 21 Dec 1281, bur Basel Münster).  A charter dated 19 Oct 1275 confirmed the consecration of the church of Lausanne, recording as present "Rodulfo Rege Alemaniæ…regina Anna uxor dicti Regis cum liberis eorundem Alberto, Hartmanno, Rodulfo et Samsone cum aliis quatuor filiabus dicti regis"[401].  Graf von Kiburg, Landgraf in Alsace.  His father proposed Hartmann as ruler of a newly-formed kingdom of Burgundy at the same time as his betrothal to the King of England's daughter.  He drowned when his ship sank on the Rhine.  The Annales Hospitalis Argentinenses record that "comes Hartmannus [filius reginæ uxoris Rudolfi Regis]" was drowned "apud Rinougiam" specifying that he was 17 years old and betrothed to "filia regis Anglie"[402].  The Annales Sindelfingenses record that "filius regis Rudolfi" was drowned in the Rhine "in vigilia Thomæ apostoli"[403].  The necrology of Wettingen records the death "XII Kal Jan 1281" of "Hartmannus com de Habsburg in Reno submersus"[404].  The Annales Colmarienses record that "Herimannus filius regis Alemanniæ", betrothed to "filiam regis Anglie", was drowned[405].  The Necrology of Basel records the death "XIII Kal Jan" in 1281 of "Hartmannus filius R. Romanorum regis de Habchsburg" and his burial "in choro huius ecclesie…"[406]Betrothed ([1276]) to KUNIGUNDE of Bohemia, daughter of PŘEMYSL OTAKAR II King of Bohemia & his second wife Kunigunde [Kunguta] Rostislavna of Mačva (Jan 1265-27 Nov 1321).  The Chonicon Colmariense records the betrothal in 1276 of a daughter of the King of Bohemia to "filio regis Ruodolphi"[407].  The Chronica Pragensis (Chronicon Francisci) records that "filia Regis…Chungundis" became a nun "ad sanctum Franciscum" in 1276, but that she was later taken from the monastery by her brother and married to "Duci Mazouiæ", after whose death she became "Abbatissa ad sanctum Georgium in castro Pragensis"[408]Betrothed (1276) to JOAN of England "of Acre", daughter of EDWARD I King of England & his first wife Infanta doña Leonor de Castilla (Acre, Palestine Spring 1272-Clare Manor, Suffolk 23 Apr 1307, bur 26 Apr 1307 Priory Church of the Austin Friars, Clare, Suffolk).  The Annales Hospitalis Argentinenses record that "comes Hartmannus [filius reginæ uxoris Rudolfi Regis]" was betrothed to "filia regis Anglie"[409].  This betrothal was arranged by King Rudolf to exploit Anglo/French rivalry.   Two charters dated 1276 record negotiations for the marriage between “dominus rex Alemaniæ...filium suum Hartmannum” and “filiam regis Angliæ Johannam[410].  A charter dated Dec 1278 records the agreement that the marriage between “R. Romanorum rex...Hartmannum comitem de Habspurg et de Kyburg, Alsatiæ langravium natum suum” and “Johannæ...Edwardi...regis Angliæ...filiæ”, already betrothed, should be celebrated[411].   

8.         RUDOLF (1270-Prague 10 May 1290, bur Prague, transferred 1293 to St Veit’s Cathedral).  A charter dated 19 Oct 1275 confirmed the consecration of the church of Lausanne, recording as present "Rodulfo Rege Alemaniæ…regina Anna uxor dicti Regis cum liberis eorundem Alberto, Hartmanno, Rodulfo et Samsone cum aliis quatuor filiabus dicti regis"[412].  The Chonicon Colmariense names "Rudolfus puer quinque annorum filius regis Rudolfi" in 1276 when recording that he recovered from fever[413].  He succeeded his father in Dec 1282 as RUDOLF II joint-Duke of Austria, Steiermark, Carniola (Krain) and the Windische Mark, ruling jointly with his brother Albrecht I until removed by the Rheinfeldene Hausordnung of 1 Jun 1283.  His father intended him as his successor as king of Germany, in view of the unpopularity of his older son Albrecht I.  The Annales Colmarienses record the death in 1290 of "dux Alsatiæ Rudolphus, filius regis Rudolphi" and his burial in Prague[414]m (Contract Iglau 1278, Mar 1289) AGNES of Bohemia, daughter of PŘEMYSL OTAKAR II King of Bohemia & his second wife Kunigunde [Kunguta] Rostislavna of Mačva (5 Sep 1269-Prague 17 May 1296, bur Prague, Clarissan convent).  The Chronica Pragensis (Chronicon Francisci) records the betrothal in 1278 of "Wencezslaus filius regis Boemiæ" and "filiam Domini Rudolphi Electi" and of "filius Electi filiam Regis Boemiæ"[415].  The Dytheri de Helmestat Notæ Historicæ record that "rex Rudolfus…filium suum dominum Hartmudum [error for Rudolfum]" married "sororem regis Bohemie"[416].  The Chronicon Francisci records the death "XVI Kal Jun" in 1296 of "Domina Agnes soror Regis Boemiæ, Ducissa Austriæ, relicta Ducis Rudolphi Romanorum Regis filii" and her burial "in Ecclesia sanctæ Claræ ordinis fratrum minorem apud sanctum Franciscum in Praga"[417].  After her husband died, she lived at Schloß Brugg im Aargau until 1295, thereafter becoming a nun at the Clarissan convent of Prague.  Duke Rudolf II & his wife had one child: 

a)         JOHANN “Parricida” (posthumously 1290-13 Dec 1313, bur Pisa, Monastery of San Niccolò).  The Dytheri de Helmestat Notæ Historicæ names "Johannes" as son of "rex Rudolfus…filium suum dominum Hartmudum [error for Rudolfum]" and his wife[418].  The Necrologium Austriacum names "patruele suo duce Iohannis dicto Alant" as the murderer of Albrecht I King of Germany[419].  He considered that his uncle King Albrecht I had deprived him of his right to succeed to the throne of Bohemia, and murdered him in 1308.  He fled first to Speyer from where he was exiled 18 Sep 1309 by Heinrich VII, the new king of Germany.  In early 1312, he sought Heinrich VII’s mercy in Pisa. 

9.         GUTA (13 Mar 1271-Prague 18 Jun 1297, bur Prague, St Veit’s Cathedral).  The Chonicon Colmariense records the betrothal in 1278 of a daughter of King Rudolf I to "regina Bohemiæ…filius"[420].  The Chronicon Francisci records the birth "circa festum beatæ Gerdrudis" in 1271 of "Dominam Gutam Reginam Boemiæ"[421].  The Chronica Pragensis (Chronicon Francisci) records the betrothal in 1278 of "Wencezslaus filius regis Boemiæ" and "filiam Domini Rudolphi Electi" and of "filius Electi filiam Regis Boemiæ"[422].  It appears that Guta used her good influence to try to improve relations between her husband and her brother Albrecht I.  The Chronica Pragensis (Chronicon Francisci) records the death "XIV Kal Jul" in 1297 of "Domina Guta Regina" in childbirth and her burial "in Ecclesia Pragensi circa sepulchrum Regis Ottakari"[423]m (Betrothed Iglau 1278, Eger 24 Jan 1285) as his first wife, WENZEL II King of Bohemia, son of OTAKAR PŘEMYSL II King of Bohemia & his second wife Kunguta [Kunigunde] Rostislavna of Mačva [Rurikid] (17 Sep 1271-21 Jun 1305, bur Prague Königsaal).  King of Poland 1300.

11.      KARL (Rheinfelden 14 Feb 1276-Rheinfelden 16 Aug 1276, bur Basel Münster).  The Annales Basilienses record that "regina regis Rudolfi" gave birth to a son "in Rinfeldia festo Valentini" but that he only lived a short time, in a later passage recording that "Carolus Ruodolphi regis filius natus festo Valentini hoc anno" was buried "in medio chori maioris ecclesiæ Basiliensis"[425]

ALBRECHT von Habsburg, son of RUDOLF I King of Germany, Duke of Austria & his first wife Gertrud [Anna] von Hohenberg [Zollern] (Jul 1255-murdered near Brugg-an-der-Reuß 1 May 1308, bur Wettingen Cistercian convent, removed 1309 to Speyer Cathedral).  A charter dated 19 Oct 1275 confirmed the consecration of the church of Lausanne, recording as present "Rodulfo Rege Alemaniæ…regina Anna uxor dicti Regis cum liberis eorundem Alberto, Hartmanno, Rodulfo et Samsone cum aliis quatuor filiabus dicti regis"[427].  He was installed as Statthalter in Austria in 1281 by his father, whom he succeeded in Dec 1282 as ALBRECHT I joint-Duke of Austria, Styria, Carniola (Krain) and the Windische Mark, ruling jointly with his brother Rudolf II until the latter was removed by the Rheinfeldene Hausordnung of 1 Jun 1283.  Unpopular in Austria, he repressed the winter 1287/88 uprising in Vienna and the Feb 1292 revolt of Styria.  An unsuccessful candidate to succeed his father as king of Germany in 1292, Albrecht was elected to succeed as ALBRECHT I King of Germany at Mainz 24 Jun 1298 when King Adolf was deposed.  King Adolf refused to accept the ruling and was killed in battle by Albrecht at Göllheim 2 Jul 1298.  Albrecht's election was confirmed at Frankfurt-am-Main 27 Jul 1298.  Crowned at Aachen 24 Aug 1298.  He reversed his predecessor's anti-French policy, confirmed in 1299 by the betrothal of his son Rudolf to the French king's sister[428].  He was murdered by his nephew Johann, who felt himself cheated of his inheritance, on the site where the monastery of Königsfelden was later built by his widow and daughter Agnes[429].  The necrology of Königsfelden records the death "Kal May 1308 occisus" of "Albertus Romanorum rex conthoralis domine Elizabeth regine"[430]

m (Vienna [20 Dec] 1274) ELISABETH von Görz-Tirol, daughter of MEINHARD IV Graf von Görz und Tirol [later MEINHARD II Duke of Carinthia] & his wife Elisabeth von Bayern (before 1262-Vienna 28 Oct 1313, bur 1316 Königsfelden).  The Dytheri de Helmestat Notæ Historicæ record that "rex Rudolfus filio suo domino Alberto duci Austrie" married "filiam Einhardi ducis Karintie"[431].  The necrology of Königsfelden records the death "V Kal Nov 1313" of "Elizabet Romanorum regina fundatrix nostra in Chungsvelt"[432]

Albrecht I & his wife had twenty one children: 

1.         ANNA ([1275/80]-Breslau 19 Mar 1327, bur Breslau, Kloster St Anna/St Klara).  The Necrologium Austriacum records "Annam ducissam Bratislavie" third in its list of the daughters of King Albrecht & his wife, after "Agnetam reginam Ungarie, Elyzabet ducissam Lotharingie"[433].  This appears improbable assuming that the birth date of her sister Agnes is correct as shown below.  Considering that Anna gave birth to her fourth child by her first marriage in 1302, it is unlikely that she could have been born after 1282.  If this is correct, it is probable that she was her parents' first child.  Pulcawa's Bohemian Chronicle records the marriage of "Hermannus filius Ottonis longi" and "filiam Alberti Regis Romanorum, quondam ducis Austrie"[434].  An undated memorial of the foundation of Kloster Arendsee names "Hermanni et Anne uxoris eius" among donors to the monastery[435].  The Chronica principum Polonie records that "Heinrico" married "filia ducis Austrie, que fuit quondam marchionissa Brandenburgensis"[436].  "Anna…ducissa Slesie dominaque Wratizlauensis et Arneborch" donated property to Kloster Arendsee by charter dated 31 May 1320[437].  Pope John XXII issued a dispensation for the marriage of “Henrico duci Slesie et domino Wratislavie ac...Anne uxori eius”, despite their ignorance of the 4o consanguinity with “quondam Hermannus marchio Brandenburgensis prior vir tuus”, at the request of “Fredericum ducem Austrie in Romanum Regem electum, fratrem tui Anne”, dated 28 May 1322[438].  The necrology of Königsfelden records the death "XIV Kal Apr" of "Anna ducissa Preslavie, soror dominarum duci Austrie et Styrie"[439]m firstly (Graz Oct 1295) HERMANN II Markgraf von Brandenburg, son of OTTO V Markgraf von Brandenburg & his wife Judith von Henneberg ([1275/80]-Eldenburg, Priegnitz 1 Jan 1308, bur Kloster Lehnin).  m secondly (1310, dispensation Avignon 28 May 1322) HEINRICH VI Duke of Breslau, son of HEINRICH V "the Fat" Duke of Liegnitz [Piast] & his wife Elźbieta of Poland [Piast] (18 Mar 1294-24 Nov 1335).

2.         AGNES (18 May 1281-Königsfelden 10 Jun 1364, bur Königsfelden).  Her parentage is confirmed by the necrology of Königsfelden which records the death "XIX Kal Feb" of "Andreas rex Ungarie…conthoralis domine Agnetis, Alberti regis Romanorum filia et domine Elizabeth…"[440].  After the death of her husband, she returned to Austria.  She founded Kloster Königsfelden with her mother, in memory of her murdered father, and lived there[441].  The mid-14th century Königsfelden chronicle depicts Agnes as a humble and pious individual.  On the other hand, according to the 16th century Chronicon helveticum of Aegidius Tschudi, she avenged her father's murder by ordering the execution and expulsion of 1000 people (families and followers of his murderers), but it appears this report was to a large extent based on Swiss anti-Habsburg propaganda[442].  It appears that Agnes acted as adviser to her brothers the Dukes of Austria and was politically active, in particular settling a conflict between Duke Albrecht II and the Swiss confederation[443].  The necrology of Feldbach records the death "IV Id Jun" of "Agnes regina Ungario"[444].  The necrology of Wettingen records the death "IV Id 1364" of "Agnes quondam regina Ungarie, fundatrix monasterii in Campo Regis, inclite mater pauperum et religiosorum, celebratur in Künigsfelden"[445]m (Vienna 13 Feb 1296) as his second wife, ANDRÁS III "Velencei/the Venetian" King of Hungary, son of ISTVÁN of Hungary Duke of Slavonia & his second wife Tomasina Morosini (Venice [1265]-Buda 14 Jan 1301, bur Buda). 

3.         RUDOLF ([1282]-Heerlager/Horazdiowitz/Horaždovice an der Otava/Mottawa 4 Jul 1307, bur Prague, St Veit’s Cathedral).  The Chronicle of Matthias Nueweburgensis names "Rudolfum primogenitum…Fridericum…Lupoldum…Henricum, Albertum et Ottonem" as the six sons of "Alberti regis"[446].  He succeeded in 1298 as RUDOLF III Duke of Austria and Styria, on his father’s election as King of Germany.  After Wenzel III King of Bohemia was murdered 1306, Rudolf’s father forced his succession as RUDOLF King of Bohemia, at which time he abdicated as Duke of Austria and Steiermark in favour of his younger brother.  The necrology of Königsfelden records the death "V Non Jul 1307" of "Ruodolfus rex Boemie filius regis Alberti"[447].  The Necrologium Austriacum records the death "1307 die s Udalrici" of "Rudolfus rex Bohemie fil regis Alberti" and his burial in Prague[448]m firstly (by treaty Aug 1299, Paris 19 or 29 May 1300) BLANCHE de France, daughter of PHILIPPE III "le Hardi" King of France & his second wife Marie de Brabant ([1278/85]-Vienna 19 Mar 1306, bur Vienna, Minoritenkirche).  The Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis names "Ludovicum comitem Ebroiciæ civitatis, Margaretamque reginam Angliæ ac Blancham ducissam Austriæ" as the three children of King Philippe III and his second wife, recording in a later passage the marriage of Blanche and "regis Romanorum Alberti filius Radulfus dux Austriæ" in 1299 "apud Parisius"[449].  This marriage was arranged to confirm King Albrecht's new alliance with France[450].  The Continuatio of the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis records the death in Mar 1306 of "ducissa Austriæ Blancha, regis Franciæ soror ex patre...cum filio suo unico", poisoned[451].  The necrology of Königsfelden records the death "XIV Kal Apr" of "domina Blanka" without giving further details to identify her[452].  The necrology of Feldbach records the death "XIV Kal Apr" of "Blanka relicta Ruodolfi quondam regis Boemie"[453], although this implies, wrongly it appears, that her husband predeceased her.  The necrology of Kloster Neuburg records the death "XIV Kal Apr 1305" of "Blanka filia regis Francie, ducissa Austrie et Styrie"[454].  The necrology of Minoritenkirche, Vienna records the death "XIV Kal 1305" of "Blanka ducissa Austrie filia Philippi regis Francie consors Rudolfi ducis Austrie hic sepulta"[455].  The necrology of Rein records the death "IV Non Mar" of "Planca ducissa Austrie et Stirie"[456], although this date is inconsistent with other sources.  m secondly (shortly after 8 Sep 1306, maybe 6 Oct 1306) as her second husband, RYKSA ELŹBIETA of Poland, widow of WENZEL II King of Bohemia, daughter of PRZEMYSŁ I Prince of Poznan, Kalisch and Gniezien [Piast] & his wife Rikissa of Sweden (1 Sep 1288-Königgrätz 19 Oct 1335, bur Brno, Cistercian Kloster Marienkirche).  The Annales Polonorum record the birth "1288 in die sancti Egidii" of a daughter to "ducissa Polonie nomine Richca, uxor ducis Primislii secundi"[457].  The Chronica principum Polonie names "Elizabet filia ducis Kalisiensis" as the second wife of "Wenczeslai regis Bohemie"[458].  The Chronica Pragensis (Chronicon Francisci) records the betrothal in 1300, and the marriage three years later, of King Wenzel and "Elizabeth filia Regis Poloniæ", aged 13[459].  The Chronica Pragensis (Chronicon Francisci) records the marriage of "Albertus Rex Romanorum…Rudolphus filius suus" and "Elizabeth relictam Regis Wencezslai"[460].  She [married] thirdly (1319) [as his second wife,] Heinrich de Lipa.  The Chronica Pragensis (Chronicon Francisci) records the relationship in 1319 between "Henricus de Lipa" and "Dominam Elizabeth novercam…Reginæ", adding that they caused much scandal[461].  Duke Rudolf III & his first wife had one child: 

a)         son (-Mar 1306).  The Continuatio of the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis records the death in Mar 1306 of "ducissa Austriæ Blancha, regis Franciæ soror ex patre...cum filio suo unico", poisoned[462]

4.         ELISABETH (-19 May 1353, bur Nancy St Georges, transferred to St Paul im Lavanttal, Königsfelden).  The Chronicle of Matthias Nueweburgensis records that "aliam [filiam]…Alberti regis" married "duci Lotharingie"[463].   She was known as ISABELLE in Lorraine.  Regent of Lorraine 1329-1331 during the minority of her son.  m (contract Saint-Dié 6 Aug 1306, before 18 May 1307) FERRY de Lorraine, son of THIBAUT II Duke of Lorraine & his wife Isabelle de Rumigny (Gondreville 15 Apr 1282-Paris 21 May 1329, bur Abbaye de Beaupré).  He succeeded his father in 1312 as FERRY IV Duke of Lorraine

5.         FRIEDRICH (1289-Gutenstein, Lower Austria 13 Jan 1330, bur Carthusian Mauerbach, near Vienna, transferred 1783/1789 Vienna St Stephan).  The Chronicle of Matthias Nueweburgensis names "Rudolfum primogenitum…Fridericum…Lupoldum…Henricum, Albertum et Ottonem" as the six sons of "Alberti regis"[464].  He succeeded on the abdication of his brother in 1306 as FRIEDRICH I "der Schöne"[465] Duke of Austria & Steiermark.  He unsuccessfully claimed the throne of Bavaria when his brother died in 1307.  Elected FRIEDRICH III King of Germany 19 Oct 1314 at Sachsenhausen, in opposition to Ludwig Duke of Upper Bavaria who was elected in Frankfurt-am-Main.  Crowned 25 Nov 1314 at Bonn by the Archbishop of Köln.  After several years of war with his rival, Friedrich was defeated at Mühldorf 1322.  He was imprisoned at Burg Trausnitz (Oberpfalz) until 1325, when Ludwig finally recognised Friedrich as joint-King.  The necrology of Königsfelden records the death "Id Jan 1330" of "Fridericus rex Romanorum regis Alberti filius et regine Elizabeth…"[466].  The Necrologium Austriacum records the death "1330 in octava epiphanye" of "Fridericus Romanorum rex…in Guetenstain", his foundation of Mauerbach and his burial there[467]m (by proxy Barcelona 1313 in person Judenburg Jan [1314/15]) Infanta doña ISABEL de Aragón, daughter of JAIME II King of Aragon and Sicily & his second wife Blanche of Sicily [Anjou-Capet] (Barcelona 1300-12 Jul 1330, bur Vienna Minoritenkirche, St Ludwigskapelle).  The Crónica de San Juan de la Peña names "la primera…Doña Maria…la segunda Doña Costança…la tercera…Doña Isabel…la quarta…Doña Blancha…la quinta…Doña Violante" as the five daughters of King Jaime II and his wife Blanca, stating that Isabel was the wife "del Duch Daustria"[468].  She was known as ELISABETH in Austria.  Crowned Queen of the Romans at Basel in 1315.  The necrology of Königsfelden records the death "IV Id Jul 1330" of "domina Elizabeth regina relicta regis Friderici Romanorum regis, filia domini Iacobi regis Arragonie, sepulta in choro Fratrum Minorum in Wienna"[469].  The Necrologium Austriacum records the death "1330 in die S Margarete virginis" of "Elyzabeth filia regis Arroganie ac regis Friderici conthuralis", her blindness during the last six years of her life and her burial in "Wienne in domo frum Minorum[470]Mistresses (1) to (3): ---.  The names of Duke Friedrich's mistresses are not known.  Duke Friedrich & his wife had three children:

Chapter 5.    GRAFEN von PEILSTEIN, MÖRLE und KLEEBERG

 

 

The Grafen von Peilstein were descendants of a younger branch of the Grafen von Ebersberg, the whole family often referred to collectively as the "Sieghardinger" from their frequent use of the first name Sieghard.  The town of Peilstein (also known as Beilenstein or Pilastein), which no longer exists, was located next to St Leonhard am Forst in Lower Austria[648].  According to the Landbuch von Österreich und Steier [1255], Peilstein was given to Konrad von Tengling by his father-in-law Luitpold II Markgraf of Austria as dowry (see below)[649].  The family appears to have moved their centre of operations to Franconia, probably in the mid-12th century, following their acquisition of the county of Kleeberg.  This is shown by the possible marriages into the Leiningen and Isenburg families, both of which were Franconian.  It is not known how Kleeberg was acquired but it may have been through the marriage of Graf Konrad [I] into the family of the Grafen von Orlamünde, which although originally Thuringian may have held property in Franconia. 

 

 

KONRAD [I] von Tengling, son of FRIEDRICH [II] Graf von Tengling [Sieghardinger] & his wife [Mathilde von Lechsgemünd] (-15/16/17 Mar [1168]).  The Codex Traditionum of Suben monastery records that "Comes Udalscalchus et coniunx Adalheit" transferred the monastery to "Altmanno suo" witnessed by "Fridericus Comes de Tengilingen et filius eius Chunrat"[650]Graf von Peilstein [1118].  "Comes Chunradus de Pilstaine", before leaving for Jerusalem, sold property to Admont "cum coniuge sua Adela et cum filiis Friderico, Sigifredo et Chounrado" by charter dated to [1147][651].  The necrology of Admont records the death "Id Mar" of "Chunradus com et m" and "XVII Kal Apr" of "Chunradus com"[652].  The necrology of Salzburg St Rudpert records the death "XVI Kal Apr" of "Chonradus com de Pilstein"[653].  The necrology of Michaelbeuern records the death "XVII Kal Apr" of "Conradus com"[654]

m firstly EUPHEMIA of Austria, daughter of LUITPOLD II Markgraf of Austria & his wife Ita von Ratelburg (-[1130]).  Wegener quotes the Landbuch von Österreich und Steier [1255] which records that "der marchgrave Liupolt von Osterrich het zwo tochter…den graven Chunrat…gab im der tochter ein, unt gab im zu der tochter Peilstein"[655].  The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. 

m secondly ADELA von Orlamünde, daughter of SIEGFRIED Graf von Orlamünde [Ballenstedt] & his wife Gertrud von Northeim (-10 Aug [1155]).  "Clementia comitissa de Glizberg cum meis nepotibus Ottone et Wilhelmo" confirmed the foundation of Schiffenberg, with the consent of "domne Gertrudis palatine…[et] Adela filia eiusdem palatine", by charter dated 1141[656].  "Wilhelmus et Otto comites de Glizperch, consanguinei" confirmed the foundation of Schiffenberg, by "domna Clementia quondam in Glizpurch comitissa, consanguinea nostra", with the consent of "domne Gertrudis palatine comitisse…et…domna Adala filia eiusdem domnæ palatine", by charter dated 1141, which names "Sifridus…filius predicte Adale"[657].  The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified.  Heiress of Mörle and Cleeberg.  "Comes Chunradus de Pilstaine", before leaving for Jerusalem, sold property to Admont "cum coniuge sua Adela et cum filiis Friderico, Sigifredo et Chounrado" by charter dated to [1147][658].  The necrology of Melk records the death "IV Id Aug" of "Adala com"[659].  The necrology of Admont records the death "IV Id Aug" of "Adala com"[660]

Graf Konrad [I] & his first wife had [one probable] child: 

1.         [UTA (-22 Nov before 1170, bur Stift Göttweig).  Wegener suggests that Uta, wife of Graf Liutold [I], was the daughter of Luitpold III Markgraf of Austria, basing this on the transmission of the names Luitpold and Berta into the family of the Grafen von Plain.  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[661], she was the daughter of Konrad [I] Graf von Peilstein [Sieghardinger], presumably by his first wife Euphemia of Austria.  It is not known on what information this proposed origin is based but it would provide an alternative explanation for the introduction of the name Luitpold into the family of the Grafen von Plain, as Graf Konrad's first wife was a Babenberg.  m [as his second wife,] LIUTOLD Graf von Plain, son of WERIGAND Graf von Plain & his wife --- (-22/23 Jan 1164).  The Salzburg Annals record the death in 1164 of "Liutoldus de Plein comes"[662].]

Graf Konrad [I] & his second wife had five children:

2.         FRIEDRICH [IV] .  "Comes Chunradus de Pilstaine", before leaving for Jerusalem, sold property to Admont "cum coniuge sua Adela et cum filiis Friderico, Sigifredo et Chounrado" by charter dated to [1147][663]Graf von Peilstein und Kleeberg/Nassau.  1145/62. 

3.         SIEGFRIED [I] (-1174 or after).  "Wilhelmus et Otto comites de Glizperch, consanguinei" confirmed the foundation of Schiffenberg, by "domna Clementia quondam in Glizpurch comitissa, consanguinea nostra", with the consent of "domne Gertrudis palatine comitisse…et…domna Adala filia eiusdem domnæ palatine", by charter dated 1141, which names "Sifridus…filius predicte Adale"[664].  "Comes Chunradus de Pilstaine", before leaving for Jerusalem, sold property to Admont "cum coniuge sua Adela et cum filiis Friderico, Sigifredo et Chounrado" by charter dated to [1147][665]Graf von Peilstein und Kleeberg.  Graf von Mörle 1158.  The necrology of Michaelbeuern records the death "VI Kal Jun" of "Sifridus com"[666].  The necrology of Reitenhaslach records the death "VI Kal Jun" of "Syffridus com"[667]m ---.  The name of Siegfried's wife is not known.  Graf Siegfried [I] & his wife had one child: 

a)         SIEGFRIED [II] (-11 Aug [1194]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Graf von Mörle und Kleeberg 1188.  Herr von Limburg an der Lahn 1193/94.  m EUPHEMIA, daughter of --- (-after 1218).  "Domina E. Cometissa de Bilstein" donated property to St Zeno bei Reichenfall, for the souls of "sui mariti Comitis Sivridi" and for "filii sui Comitis Friderici", by charter dated 1208[668].  Graf Siegfried [II] & his wife had [two] children: 

i)          [[SIEGFRIED] (-before 24 Nov 1196).  Wegener speculates that the husband of Alveradis was an older brother of Graf Friedrich [VI] and assumes that his name must have been Siegfried[669].  This appears to be a reasonable speculation but there appears to be no proof that it is correct.  One difficulty is the absence of a reference to a second son from the donation of his supposed mother Euphemia (see above).  Graf von Kleeberg.  m ALVERADIS von Leiningen, daughter of --- (-after 1235).  Ulrich Provost at Worms confirmed the donation of Bockenheim church to Kloster Wadgassen made by "comes Simon de Saarbrucken et uxor eius Lutgardis…[et] comitissa Alberadis de Cleberc soror prenominate comitisse, marito et liberis orbata zelo pietatis agitata" by charter dated 1196[670].  "Alberhardis nobilis comitissa de Cleberc marito et liberius orbata" donated “ius patronatus ecclesie b.

Chapter 6.    GRAFEN von PERNEGG

 

 

ULRICH [III] von Raabs, son of KONRAD [I] Burggraf von Nürnberg & his wife --- (-[1170] or after).  The Vita Bertholdi Abbatis Garstensis records that “quidam nobilis de Rachez” had “parvulum filium...Oulricum” who was afflicted by demons[689].  “Oudalricus de Gossisheim” confirmed donations to Kloster Göttweig “manu nepotis sui Oudalrici” by undated charter[690].  Herr von Deggendorf, Pernegg und Weitenegg. 

m (after Jun 1151) as her second husband, KUNIGUNDE von Formbach, widow of BERTHOLD [I] von Andechs Graf von Diessen, daughter of EKBERT [II] Graf von Formbach & his wife Willibirg ---.  The Codex Traditionum of Formbach monastery records a donation by "Comes Ekkebertus", with the consent of "Willebirga et filia ipsorum Chunigunda"[691].  The Vita Wirntonis names "dux Dalmatie et marchio Ystrie Berchtoldus" as brother-in-law of "comes Eckebertus" but does not name his wife[692].  The primary source which confirms her two marriages has not yet been identified. 

Ulrich [III] & his wife had one child: 

1.         EKBERT (-19 Jan [1200]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Graf 1180.  “Nobilis vir Ekebertus de Berueke et uxor eius Hadewich et liberi eorum Udalricus, Ekebertus, Eufemia” founded Kloster Geras and Kloster Berneck by charter dated 1188[693].  The necrology of Pernegg records the death "XIV Kal Feb" of "Ekbertus com de Pernegg fundator"[694]m HEDWIG, daughter of --- (-13 Jun ----).  “Nobilis vir Ekebertus de Berueke et uxor eius Hadewich et liberi eorum Udalricus, Ekebertus, Eufemia” founded Kloster Geras and Kloster Berneck by charter dated 1188[695].  The necrology of Windberg records the death "Id Jun" of "Haedewic de Tekendorf coma"[696].  Her origin is not known.  However, Wegener suggests that she was Hedwig von Bogen, daughter of Berthold [II] Graf von Bogen & his wife Liutgard von Burghausen, without giving the basis for this speculation other than stating that the wife of Ekbert von Deggendorf "must be from the family of the Grafen von Bogen"[697].  Ekbert & his wife had [four] children: 

a)         ULRICH [IV] (-25 Jan [1218]).  “Nobilis vir Ekebertus de Berueke et uxor eius Hadewich et liberi eorum Udalricus, Ekebertus, Eufemia” founded Kloster Geras and Kloster Berneck by charter dated 1188[698].  The necrology of Pernegg records the death "VIII Kal Feb" of "Ulricus com de Pernegg fil Ekberti comitis de Pernegg fundator"[699]m ---.  The name of Ulrich's wife is not known.  Ulrich [IV] & his wife had one child:

d)         [WENCHEL (-14 Jul ----).  The necrology of Pernegg records the death "II Id Jul" of "Wenchel coma de Pernegg di Udalrici fundatoris filia"[704], although there must be some error in this entry as the founder's name was Ekbert.] 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 7.    GRAFEN von POIGEN, BERGTHEIM und VELBURG

 

 

 

1.         HERMANN [I], son of --- (-after [1105]).  Wegener suggests that Hermann [I] Graf von Poigen was the son of Gebhard [I] Graf von Sulzbach in order to explain the transmission of the name Gebhard into the family of the Grafen von Poigen[705].  This suggestion must be considered highly speculative.  It seems unlikely to be correct considering the geographical distance between the two properties.  Graf von Poigen.  "Herman comes de Buigin" donated property to Göttweig “cum manu filii sui Gebhardi”, for the soul of “Gebhardi”, by charter dated to [1105][706]m [firstly] --- .  Wegener suggests that Graf Hermann married twice, his first wife being --- von Diessen, daughter of Berthold [I] Graf von Diessen & his wife ---, in order to explain the transmission of the name Berthold to his second son[707].  Unfortunately, Wegener reduces the effect of his own argument when, on the next page, he highlights the absence of proof that Berthold was in fact the son of Graf Hermann [I][708].  [m secondly --- .  Wegener suggests that Graf Hermann married twice, his second wife being --- of Austria, daughter of Ernst I Markgraf of Austria & his first wife Adelheid von Wettin, in order to explain the transmission of the names Ernst and Adalbert to his two younger sons[709].  Graf Hermann [I] & his [first/second] wife had [five] children: 

a)         GEBHARD [I] von Poigen (-19 Nov [1143]).  "Herman comes de Buigin" donated property to Göttweig “cum manu filii sui Gebhardi”, for the soul of “Gebhardi”, by charter dated to [1105][710]Graf von Poigen.  "Herman comes de Buigin" donated property to Göttweig “cum manu filii sui Gebhardi”, for the soul of “Gebhardi”, by charter dated to [1105][711].  A charter dated to [1122/25] records an exchange of property between the abbot of Göttweig and Gebhard von Poigen acting "cum manu uxoris Hiltipurge et filii eius H."[712].  The necrology of Altenburg records the death "XIII Kal Dec" of "Gebhardus com de Boige maritus næ fundatricis post cuius obitum ipsa cum filio suo Hermanno com de Lapide fundavit cœnobium 1144"[713]m HILDBURG von Rebegau, daughter of [ADALBERT Graf von Rebegau & his wife ---] (-4 Dec after 1144).  A charter dated to [1122/25] records an exchange of property between the abbot of Göttweig and Gebhard von Poigen acting "cum manu uxoris Hiltipurge et filii eius H."[714].  "Domina Hildeburch…cum filio suo…Hermanno" founded Kloster Altenburg, after the death of "viro suo…comite Gebehardo de Bouige", by charter dated 25 Jul 1144, witnessed by "…comes Adelbertus de Rebegou…"[715].  The necrology of Altenburg records the death "II Non Dec" of "Hildiburgis de Rebegaw in Svevia fundatrix h m", with the date 1144 although this presumably refers to the foundation of the monastery (as shown by another entry in the same necrology which records her husband's death) rather than her own death[716].  The necrology of Altenburg also records the death "VII Kal Mar" of "Albertus come de Rebegau", which may refer to Hildburg's father[717].  Graf Gebhard [I] & his wife had one child: 

i)          HERMANN [II] von Poigen (-after 1144).  A charter dated to [1122/25] records an exchange of property between the abbot of Göttweig and Gebhard von Poigen acting "cum manu uxoris Hiltipurge et filii eius H."[718]Graf von Poigen.  The necrology of Altenburg names "filio suo [Geberhari comitis de Boige] Hermanno com de Lapide" in the record of his father's death, noting that he and his mother founded the monastery in 1144[719].  "Domina Hildeburch…cum filio suo…Hermanno" founded Kloster Altenburg, after the death of "viro suo…comite Gebehardo de Bouige", by charter dated 25 Jul 1144, witnessed by "…comes Adelbertus de Rebegou…"[720]

b)         [BERTHOLD (-28 Feb or 10 Oct [1140/44]).  Wegener highlights the absence of sources which prove that Graf Berthold was the son of Hermann [I] Graf von Poigen, but suggests this affiliation to explain the transmission of the name Hermann to Berthold's son[721].  Graf von Bergtheim.  “...Comes Pertolfus de Berhtheim...” witnessed the charter dated 29 Sep 1108 issued by Heinrich V King of Germany for the church of Bamberg[722].  The necrology of Michelsberg which records the deaths "II Kal Mar" and "VI Id Oct" of "Bertholdus com" and "Bertholdus com et m" respectively[723], either of which may refer to Berthold Graf von Bergtheim.  The same necrology records the deaths "VII Id Aug" and "IX Kal Aug" of "Tiemo laicus pater Berhtoldi comitis" and "Adelheit laica mater Berhtoldi comitis" respectively[724], although it is not clear to which of the previously mentioned Graf Berthold this refers.  m BEATRIX, daughter of --- (-4 Feb [before her husband]).  The necrology of Michelsberg records the death "II Non Nov" of "Beatrix com pro cuius anima dedit maritus eius Berth com predium Richpach"[725].  Wegener suggests that she was Beatrix von Mainz, daughter of Gerhard Stadtgraf von Mainz, presumably on the basis of the name Gerhard having passed to her older son[726].  Graf Berthold & his wife had two children: 

i)          GERHARD (-10 Nov ----).  Wegener refers to a source which names Gerhard and Hermann as sons of Graf Berthold when recording that they divided his property after their father's death[727].  Graf von Bergtheim und Velburg.  The necrology of Michelsberg records the death "IV Id Nov" of "Gerhardus comes"[728]

ii)         HERMANN (-[22 Jul] ----).  Wegener refers to a source which names Gerhard and Hermann as sons of Graf Berthold when recording that they divided his property after their father's death[729].  Graf von Bergtheim und Velburg.  The necrology of Admont records the death "XI Kal Aug" of "Hermannus com"[730], although it is not certain that this entry refers to this Graf Hermann.  m ADELHEID von Klamm, daughter of WALCHUN von Klamm & his wife Beatrix von Wilhering (-18 Feb 1154).  The necrology of Michelsberg records the death "XIV Kal Dec" of "Adelheit com de Bercheim"[731].  Graf Hermann & his wife had one child: 

(a)       OTTO (-[1197/98]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Graf von Bergtheim und Velburg.  m ELISABETH, daughter of ---.  The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified.   Graf Otto & his wife had [two] children: 

(1)       ULRICH (-11 Jul [1218]).  Wegener cites a source which names "Ulricus puer filius Ottonis comitis de Velburc"[732].  Graf von Velburg und Klamm. 

(2)       [daughter .  The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.  m ALBERT von Endsee.] 

c)         daughters .  Nuns at Geisenfeld [1115].  "Ernestus de Hohenburch" donated property to Geisenfeld monastery "in manus amite sue Abbatisse Friderune", on the occasion of the entry of one of his sisters in the monastery, witnessed by "frater eius Adalbreth…"[733]

d)         ERNST [I] von Poigen (-1122 or after).  "Gebehardus comes de Piugin et frater eius Ernist" witnessed a charter dated [1121/22][734].  "Ernestus de Hohenburch" donated property to Geisenfeld monastery "in manus amite sue Abbatisse Friderune", on the occasion of the entry of one of his sisters in the monastery, witnessed by "frater eius Adalbreth…"[735].  Graf von Hohenburg. 

-        GRAFEN von HOHENBURG

e)         ADALBERT [I] von Poigen (-[6 Jan] ----).  Wegener quotes a source dated [1122/25] which names "Gebehardus comes de Piugin", his wife Hiltipurg, son Hermann and brother Adelbert[736].  "Ernestus de Hohenburch" donated property to Geisenfeld monastery "in manus amite sue Abbatisse Friderune", on the occasion of the entry of one of his sisters in the monastery, witnessed by "frater eius Adalbreth…"[737].  Wegener highlights two references to Adalbert Graf von Rebegau, which he assumes refer to this Adalbert.  However, it appears that this is not correct and that Adalbert Graf von Rebegau was probably the father of Hildburg, wife of Gebhard [I] Graf von Poigen who was Adalbert's older brother (see above).  The necrology of Traunkirchen records the death "VIII Id Jan" of "Albertus com"[738], which Wegener links to this Graf Adalbert[739] although it is not certain that this is the only possibility.  [m firstly --- von Nalb, daughter of [WOLFGER [I] von Nalb & his wife ---].  See below, for the explanation provided by Wegener for the existence of this first wife of Graf Adalbert [I].]  m [secondly] GERTRUD, daughter of ---.  The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified.  Graf Adalbert [I] & his [first] wife had [one] child:   

i)          [WOLFGER (-21 Jul ----).  Wegener cites sources, dated [1157/58] and 1161 respectively, which name "comes Wolfkerus et frater eius Gebehardus de Stain" and "Wolfger de Naliube, Adelbertus Gebehardus comites"[740].  He assumes therefore that Wolfger was the son of Graf Adalbert by a first marriage with a daughter of Wolfger [I] von Nalb, who transmitted Nalb to her son.  It is, however, curious that Wolfger is not mentioned with his brothers Adalbert and Gebhard as another son of Graf Adalbert in the source referred to below.  A better explanation for this would be that Graf Adalbert was married to the widow of Wolfger [I] von Nalb and that Wolfger [II] was her son by her first marriage.  Graf von Stein.  Graf von Nalb.] 

Graf Adalbert [I] & his [second] wife had two children: 

ii)         ADALBERT [II] von Poigen (-23 Feb ----).  Wegener cites a source which names Adalbert and Gebhard as sons of Adalbert and their patruelis Ernst von Hohenberg[741].  1173.  Wegener cites a source in which Leopold Duke of Austria confirms 4 Jan 1189 that the brothers Adelbert and Gebehard Graf von Rebgowe were deceased[742].  The coincidence is striking between the reference to these sons of Graf Adalbert as Grafen von Rebegau and the reference to Hildburg, wife of Gebhard [I] Graf von Poigen (see above), as "von Rebegau".  It is possible that this family is constructed completely differently from as shown by Wegener, as follows: (1) Adalbert, brother of Graf Gebhard [I] and Graf Ernst [I] died without issue; (2) a sister of Graf Gebhard [I] and Graf Ernst [I] married Adalbert Graf von Rebegau, who was the brother of Hildburg wife of Graf Gebhard [I].  (3) this sister may have married Wolfger [I] von Nalb as her first husband.  In this way, Graf Ernst [II] could still be described as patruelis of the brothers Adalbert and Gebhard, and the connection between these brothers and the monastery of Altenburg would be more easily explained as it would have been founded by their paternal aunt. 

iii)        GEBHARD [II] von Poigen (-10 Feb ----).  Graf von Stein.  1186.  The necrology of Altenburg records the donation "IV Id Feb" by "Gebehardus comes" of "ecclesiam Stroegen et ecclesiam ad Sta Margaretham"[743], which may refer to this Graf Gebhard.  The necrology of Asbach records the death "IV Id Feb" of "Gebhardus com"[744]

2.         [FREDERUNA .  Abbess of Geisenfeld [1115].  Her parentage is suggested by the donation by "Ernestus de Hohenburch" to Geisenfeld monastery "in manus amite sue Abbatisse Friderune", witnessed by "frater eius Adalbreth…"[745].]

Mistress (1): [MARGARETA von Edelsheim, daughter of ---.  Secondary sources name Margareta von Edelsheim as mother of Emperor Maximilian’s daughter Margareta.  No reliable source which names her has been identified.] 

[Mistress (2): MARGARETA von Rappach, wife of GEORG Freiherr von Rottal und Thalberg, daughter of ---.  As noted below, no reliable indication has been found that Margareta was the mistress of Emperor Maximilian and that he was the father of her daughter Barbara von Rottal.]

-        see below

2.         MARGARETA Archduchess of Austria (Brussels 10 Jan 1480-Mechelen 1 Dec 1530, bur Brou near Bourg-en-Bresse).  This betrothal was arranged as part of King Louis XI's plan for the dismemberment of the territories of the Dukes of Burgundy, agreed under the Treaty of Arras signed 23 Dec 1482 with the Flemish.  The Chronique Scandaleuse of Louis XI records the negotiations started in Jan 1482 (O.S.) for the marriage of “monseigneur le Daulphin” and “Damoiselle Marguerite d’Auteriche Contesse de Flandres fille [du] Duc en Auteriche” and their betrothal in Jul 1483 at Amboise[749]Stadhouderin of the Netherlands 1507-1515 and 1518-1530.  Betrothed (Amboise 22 Jun 1483) to CHARLES de France Dauphin de Viennois, son of LOUIS XI King of France & his second wife Charlotte de Savoie (Château d'Amboise, Indre-et-Loire 30 Jun 1470-Château d'Amboise 7 Apr 1498, bur église de l'Abbaye royale de Saint-Denis).  He succeeded his father in 1483 as CHARLES VIII "l'Affable" King of Francem firstly (Burgos 3 Apr 1497) Infante don JUAN de Castilla y Aragón Principe de Asturias, son of FERNANDO II King of Aragon & his first wife doña Isabel Queen of Castile (28 Jun 1478-Salamanca 4 Oct 1497, bur Avila).  m secondly (Romainmôtier, Vaud 3 Dec 1501) PHILIBERT II "le Beau" Duke of Savoy, son of PHILIPPE I Duke of Savoy & his first wife Marguerite de Bourbon (Pont d'Ain 10 Apr 1480-Pont d'Ain 10 Sep 1504).

Maximilian I had one illegitimate child by Mistress (1):

4.          MARGARETA [von Edelsheim] (-Liège Jun 1537).  Called “Margareta von Edelsheim”, illegitimate daughter of Emperor Maximilian I by an earlier Margareta von Edelsheim, in secondary sources, no indication has been found of a primary source which confirms her name and parentage.  Her birth date is assessed as “[1480]” in modern secondary sources, but this seems early in view of the date of her second marriage and her having given birth to two children by her second husband.  It is possible that the date was extrapolated from the supposed date of her first marriage, but no reliable information has yet been identified which corroborates that date.  Margareta lived at Weinsberg after her second marriage[750].  After the death of her second husband, she retired to Liège where her [half?] brother Georg was bishop[751]m firstly ([1497]) JOHANN von Hille, son of ---.  Forstmeister of the county of Tirol[752]m secondly (1520[753]) LUDWIG [V] HELFRICH Graf von Helfenstein-Wiesensteig, son of LUDWIG [IV] Graf von Helfenstein-Wiesensteig & his wife Elisabeth Schenkin von Limpurg (Weinsberg 13 Nov 1498-murdered Weinsberg 16 Apr 1525).  He was killed by farmers at the tower of Weinsberg during the German Peasants’ War[754]

Maximilian I had [one possible illegitimate child by Mistress (2)]:

5.          [BARBARA von Rottal ([1500]-[3 Mar 1550 or Vienna 1556][755]).  No conclusive evidence has been found to confirm that Barbara was the daughter of Emperor Maximilian I.  Histories of the Dietrichstein family record her as the daughter of Georg Freiherr von Rottal und Thalberg[756] .  The marriage contract for her first marriage names her as his “ehelichen einzigen” daughter[757].  According to Karl Lind, Georg’s wife, Margareta von Rappach, was “die Mutter einer natürlichen Tochter Kaisers Max I namens Barbara” but he cites no primary source to support his statement[758].  Köhler records Barbara’s second marriage with “Ulrich von Zettritz” and third marriage with “einem von Schweinitz[759], the latter being named Balthasar in modern secondary sources.  Bergmann comments that no trace of her supposed third husband is found in Sinapius’s review of the Schweinitz family[760]m firstly (contract Augsburg 22 Dec 1513, Vienna 22 Jul 1515[761]) SIGMUND Freiherr von Dietrichstein, Freiherr zu Hollenburg und Finckenstein, son of PANKRAZ von Dietrichstein & his wife Barbara Gößin von Thurn ([1484][762]-Schloß Finkenstein, Carinthia [15 or 18] May 1533 or 20 May 1538[763]).  Statthalter of Inner-Austria.  m secondly ([1535]) ULRICH von Czettritz [Zettritz], son of --- (-1541).  [m thirdly ([1544]) [BALTHASAR] von Schweinitz, son of --- (-1572).]

6.          GEORG von Österreich [Piret] (Gent 1504-Liège 4 May 1557, bur Liège Saint-Lambert).  His paternity is confirmed by the testament of his brother Leopoldo de Austria, quoted below.  No reliable indication has been found about the identity of his mother.  Gallia Christiana names “Georgius Austriacus, Maximiliani imperatoris filius naturalis[764].  The Neue Deutsche Biographie names his mother as “einer Salzburgerin” or “nach anderen Angaben einer ungarische Edeldame aus der Familie Valkai” but does not cite specific sources[765].  The origin of his alternative name “Piret” has not been ascertained.  Bishop of Brixen 1526.  Bishop of Valencia 1538.  Bishop of Liège 1544.  Chapeauville records the arrival of “Georgius Austriacus Archiepiscopus Valentinus” as bishop of Liège “ex Hispania”, but gives no information about his family origin[766].  The testament of [his brother] “don Leopoldo de Austria...obispo de Córdoba”, dated 27 Sep 1557, ordered masses for the soul of “don Jorge de Austria obispo de Lieja mió hermano” and for the souls of “nuestras hermanas difuntas[767].  Georg had three illegitimate children by unknown mistresses (no reliable information has yet been found about these children):
