INTRODUCTION

 

 

The Swabian nobility constituted a much less cohesive group than the nobility in the neighbouring province of Bavaria.  This was probably due originally to the disparate nature of the Swabian duchy which consisted of three distinct geographical areas: most of what is today the German state of Baden-Württemberg, the German-speaking part of Switzerland, and Alsace.  Looking at these areas, it can be seen that the river Rhine provided a barrier to cross-activity with Alsace on the west bank, and the Alps hampered communication with the area south of lake Constance.  In addition, large parts of the land east of the Rhine were heavily forested and uninhabited, colonisation only accelerating in the 12th and 13th centuries.  Many local families were at first modest in their ambitions, their activities being restricted to isolated parts of the Swabian province.  An example is provided by the Zähringer, which concentrated on building influence around the town of Freiburg im Breisgau, before Duke Konrad extended his ambitions into Burgundy in 1127. 

 

Following the revival of Swabian central authority in the early 10th century, the first dukes of Swabia, the Hunfriding rulers, originated in what is now northern Switzerland.  A 903 diploma of Ludwig IV "das Kind" King of Germany refers to the first Hunfriding ruler Burkhard as "marchio Curiensis Rætiæ", indicating the creation of a short-lived march in northern Switzerland.  The Hunfriding were succeeded by the Franconian Konradiner dynasty in 926, when Hermann was appointed duke by Heinrich I King of Germany.  Over the succeeding 150 years, no single family established itself as dukes of Swabia for more than three generations. 

 

Multiple powerbases were over time created in Swabia, another reason for the lack of cohesion within the noble families.  After Berthold von Zähringen lost to Friedrich von Staufen in the power struggle for appointment as duke of Swabia during the investiture crisis, he was compensated by recognition of his personal title of duke, which was also transmitted to his descendants.  This represented the first occasion when two individuals both peaceably held the title dux at any one time in any of the original German provinces.  The dukes of Zähringen developed considerable political influence in central Europe before their extinction in the male line in 1218.  In addition, the Welf family, while establishing themselves definitively as dukes of Bavaria in 1096, remained major landowners in Swabia where contemporary sources such as necrologies show that they also used the title dux

 

Besides these major families, numerous lesser noble families enjoyed limited territorial influence in Swabia around the castles which they constructed.  Some of these families used their small Swabian bases as a springboard to extend their activities on a broader European scale.  Two obvious examples were the Staufen and Zollern dynasties.  The former took their name from their castle in Swabia but acquired extensive property in Franconia, bequeathed to Friedrich II Duke of Swabia by his maternal uncle Emperor Heinrich V.  The election of Konrad von Staufen as Konrad III King of Germany in 1138, and that of his nephew as King Friedrich I "Barbarossa" in 1152, signalled the family's definitive transfer out of the local Swabian field of activity.  The Zollern family also took its name from their Swabian castle, but launched themselves on to the wider German stage with a fortunate marriage to the heiress of the Burggrafschaft of the town of Nürnberg in Bavaria, and later acquiring the electorate of Brandenburg in the early 15th century.  A third example, on a smaller scale, is provided by the Grafen von Berg who developed sufficient influence to enable them to arrange the marriages in the early 12th century of the three daughters of Graf Heinrich [I] with the king of Poland and the dukes of Bohemia and Moravia.  Finally, the roots of the Habsburg family, whose later history requires no introduction, are found in the southern part of Swabia in what is now Switzerland. 

 

Other potentially powerful Swabian nobles failed to expand beyond the local level.  A good example is provided by the Grafen von Achalm, who acquired the Alsatian castle of Montbéliard [Mömpelgard] by marriage, and founded the influential monastery of Zwiefalten in 1089.  However, no legitimate descendants are known from this family of eight brothers, the last of whom died in 1098.  

 

During the dispute between Konrad IV King of Germany and the papal party, led by Willem II Count of Holland as its figurehead and anti-king, Swabia was largely anti-Staufen.  The reaction against Staufen control enabled the local Swabian nobility to assert their autonomy, the duchy of Swabia virtually disappearing as a territorial unit and dissolving into a collection of territorial fragments[1].  The eventual fall-out was the establishment of the Markgrafen von Baden and the Herzogen von Württemberg as the major Swabian lords (see the documents BADEN and WÜRTTEMBERG). 

 

The present document shows nobility in the southern area of Swabia, now German-speaking Switzerland.  The “gau” in this area were, from west to east: Aargau which bordered the Rudolfian kingdom of Burgundy, Zürichgau with the town of Zürich in its northern part, Thurgau immediately south of lake Constance, and Rheingau straddling the upper reaches of the Rhine before it flows into Lake Constance.  South of the Rheingau lay the area of Chur-Rätien, in what is now the Swiss canton of Graubünden. 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1.    GRAFEN im AARGAU

 

 

Aargau was the area which lay south of the river Rhine and the town of Basel in the north, north of the Valais in the south, west of Zurichgau, and east of the Rudolfian kingdom of Burgundy.  Its territory was more extensive than the present-day Swiss canton which bears the same name.  It formed the frontier area between the kingdom of Burgundy and the duchy of Swabia. 

 

 

 

A.      GRAFEN von BUCHEGG

 

 

The county of Buchegg was located in the present-day Swiss canton of Solothurn.  Only two Grafen von Buchegg have been identified in primary sources during the 12th century.  Their family relationship to each other, if any, has not been ascertained nor their relationship to the later Grafen von Buchegg who descended from Graf Peter. 

 

 

1.         HUGO (-after [1130]).  Graf von Buchegg.  Lothar III King of Germany granted protection to Kloster St. Blasius, in the presence of “...graff Hug von Buchegk...” by charter dated to [1130][2].  Pope Lucius III confirmed the properties of Erlach St. Johann, including “allodium de Crissiaci” donated by “comitis Hugonis de Buchecca”, by charter dated 2 Oct 1185[3]

B.      GRAFEN von FROHBURG

 

 

The castle of Frohburg was located near Trimbach, in the present-day Swiss canton of Solothurn. 

 

 

Two brothers, parents not known. 

1.         --- .  m ---.  One child: 

a)         HERMANN (-after 1169).  Graf von Frohburg.  A charter dated 1169, located in the archives of Basel in 1752 but since disappeared, records that Ludwig Bishop of Basel donated serfs to the church of Basel with the consent of "comte Hermann de Frobourg son cousin"[31]

2.         --- .  m --- .  Two children: 

a)         VOLMAR (-after 28 Oct 1175).  Graf von Frohburg.  He is named in the 28 Oct 1175 charter of his brother Ludwig, quoted below. 

b)         LUDWIG (-[28 Oct 1175/1177]).  Bishop of Basel.  The 1169 donation referred to above was later confirmed by Ludwig Bishop of Basel, in the presence of "fratris mei comitis Volmari, domino Reingero Hassenburgense", by charter dated 28 Oct 1175 which names "domino Burchardo Hassenburgense…filii Lutoldus…et Heinricus"[32]

 

 

The primary source which confirms the relationship, if any, between the later Grafen von Frohburg and the earlier family shown above has not been identified. 

 

1.         HERMANN [II] von Frohburg (-before 1213)Graf von Frohburg.  “Hermannus comes de Vroburc et filii eius Ludewicus et Hermannus...” witnessed the charter dated 1201 under which Diethelm Bishop of Konstanz settled a dispute between the monastery of St Urban and “Bertholdum plebanum de Wimenovve[33].  “Hermannus comes de Froburch cum uxore et liberis Ludowico et Hermanno” granted rights to the monastery of St Urban by charter dated 1206[34]m --- (-after 1206).  “Hermannus comes de Froburch cum uxore et liberis Ludowico et Hermanno” granted rights to the monastery of St Urban by charter dated 1206[35].  The name of Hermann’s wife is not known.  Europäische Stammtafeln shows --- von Dillingen, possible daughter of Hartmann [III] Graf von Dillingen, as the wife of Hermann [II] Graf von Frohburg[36].  It is likely that this speculation aims to explain the consanguinity between the Kirburg and Frohburg families which is indicated by the following document.  Pope Innocent IV granted dispensation to [this couple’s grandson] “nobili viro Artimanno nato...L. comitis de Froburc” to marry “Annam filiam nobilis viri --- comitis de Rapreswiler”, who had been divorced from “H. iunior comes de Kiburch tertia te linea consanguinitatis” because he had previously contracted to marry “matertera ipsius A[nne] sponsalia”, dated 28 Jan 1251[37].  Hermann & his wife had [five] children: 

a)         LUDWIG [III] von Frohburg (-[1256/59], bur Zofingen).  “Hermannus comes de Vroburc et filii eius Ludewicus et Hermannus...” witnessed the charter dated 1201 under which Diethelm Bishop of Konstanz settled a dispute between the monastery of St Urban and “Bertholdum plebanum de Wimenovve[38]Graf von Frohburg

-        see below.    

b)         HERMANN [III] (-[25 Jan 1233/Feb 1237]).  “Hermannus comes de Vroburc et filii eius Ludewicus et Hermannus...” witnessed the charter dated 1201 under which Diethelm Bishop of Konstanz settled a dispute between the monastery of St Urban and “Bertholdum plebanum de Wimenovve[39].  “Hermannus comes de Froburch cum uxore et liberis Ludowico et Hermanno” granted rights to the monastery of St Urban by charter dated 1206[40]Graf von Frohburg.  "Uolricus comes Phirretensis" confirmed the donation to the church of Basel, made by "mater mea Helvvigis comitissa Phirretensis et Berhtoldus frater meus, Basiliensis ecclesie canonicus" with the consent of "pater meus felicis recordationis Fridericus comes Phirretensis" at the court of "consanguineo meo Alberto comite de Habespurg lantgravio Alsatie", by charter dated 25 Jan 1233, witnessed by "Hermannus comes junior de Froburg…"[41]m HEILWIG von Habsburg, daughter of RUDOLF [II] "der Alte" Graf von Habsburg, Herr zu Laufenburg & his wife Agnes von Staufen (-after 11 Oct 1263).  A Habsburg genealogy names "Alberctum, Rudolfum, Wernherum, Helwigam, Gertrudem, uxores Hermanni et Ludwici, fratrum comitum de Froburg" as the children of "Ruodolfus" and his wife[42].  Hermann [III] & his wife had one child: 

i)          LUDWIG [IV] von Frohburg (-[22 Nov] [1279/81]).  Ludwig, his wife and “Söhnen Hartman, Herman und Rudolf und dem Bruderssohn Ludwig d. j.” are named in a charter dated 3 Sep 1242[43].  “Ludewicus senior et Ludewicus junior comites de Vroburg” confirmed donations to the monastery of St Urban by charter dated 1246[44].  “Ludovicus iuvenis filius Hermanni comitis quondam de Vroburc” is named in a charter dated 15 May 1253, and “Ludewicus iunior de V, pater meus pie recordationis Hermannus comes” in charters dated 2 and 3 Jun 1255[45].  “L. senior comes de Vroburch, H. natus noster et L. patruelis noster” are named in a charter dated 1256[46].  "Ludewicus comes de Froburg...cum Hermanno filio nostro" donated property “in dem Notrife” to St Urban by charter dated 15 Jun 1279[47].  He was named as deceased in the 4 Jul 1282 charter noted below.  The Manuel généalogique pour servir à l’histoire de la Suisse suggests that the following necrology entry refers to Ludwig [IV], in which case the year must be incorrect[48]: the necrology of Frauenthal records the death “X Kal Dec” of “Ludwig graff von Froburg, mittstiffter, anno 1246[49]m ---.  The name of Ludwig’s wife is not known.  The Manuel généalogique pour servir à l’histoire de la Suisse suggests that she was named “Agnes”, based on the following necrology entry, the person in question not otherwise having been identified in the Frohburg family[50]: the necrology of Sion records the death “II Id Oct” of “Agnes coma de Froburch” and her donation[51].  Ludwig [IV] & his wife had children:

(a)       HERMANN von Frohburg (-after 1 Dec 1291).  "Ludewicus comes de Froburg...cum Hermanno filio nostro" donated property “in dem Notrife” to St Urban by charter dated 15 Jun 1279[52]Graf von Frohburg.  “Hermannus et Volmarus fratres comites de V” named “pie memorie comes Ludewicus pater noster” in a charter dated 4 Jul 1282[53].  “Hermannus et Volmarus nati...Ludowici quondam comitis de F.” are named in a charter dated 1 Dec 1291[54]

(b)       VOLMAR [IV] von Frohburg (-20 Jan [1319/20])Graf von Frohburg.  “Hermannus et Volmarus fratres comites de V” named “pie memorie comes Ludewicus pater noster” in a charter dated 4 Jul 1282[55].  “Hermannus et Volmarus nati...Ludowici quondam comitis de F.” are named in a charter dated 1 Dec 1291[56].  Volmar is named “mit seinem Sohn Haneman” in a charter dated 9 Jun 1318[57].  He is named as deceased in his sons’ 19 Nov 1320 charter quoted below.  The necrology of St Urban records the death “XIII Kal Feb” of “Folmarus com. de Froburg[58]m as her second husband, KATHARINA von Toggenburg, widow of EBERHARD Graf von Spitzenberg, daughter of FRIEDRICH Graf von Toggenburg & his wife [Clementia] [von Werdenberg] (-before 1313).  The Manuel généalogique pour servir à l’histoire de la Suisse cites two sources dated 8 May 1325 and 7 Oct 1350 indicating that “Katharina, Schwester des Propstes Kraft” married firstly Eberhard von Spitzenberg and secondly Volmar von Frohburg[59].  Volmar [IV] & his wife had children:

(1)       JOHANN von Frohburg (-[Jan/Apr] 1366).  Volmar is named “mit seinem Sohn Haneman” in a charter dated 9 Jun 1318[60]Graf von Frohburg.  “Johannes et Hermannus comites de V.“ named “pater noster Volmarus comes de V. felicis recordationis” in a charter dated 19 Nov 1320[61].  "Graf Johans von Froburg" settled a dispute between “Abbten Herman von Froburg, Abten dez klosters...ze Sant Urban” and “Gerhardum de Uzingen” by charter dated 12 Nov 1358[62]m (before 3 Nov 1326) ADELHEID von Ramstein, daughter of THURING von Ramstein & his wife --- (-after 30 Jan 1367).  “Grave Johans von Froburg, her Thuring herre ze Ramstein unser sweher, vro Adelheit sin tochter unser e frowen” are named in a charter dated 3 Nov 1326[63].  “Grave Johans von F., Adelheit von Ramstein sin...frowe hern Thuringes del. tochter” are named in a charter dated 10 Nov 1345[64]

(2)       HERMANN von Frohburg (-19 Oct 1367).  “Johannes et Hermannus comites de V.“ named “pater noster Volmarus comes de V. felicis recordationis” in a charter dated 19 Nov 1320[65]

c)         [ALBRECHT (-after 1243).  Governor [Abbot?] of Murbach [in Alsace]: “Graf Ludwig, sein Bruder Albrecht, Pfleger von Murbach (gubernator Murbacensis)” witnessed a charter for Kloster Zofingen dated 1243[66].  Assuming that the first witness was Graf von Frohburg, the date indicates that he was Ludwig [III].] 

d)         [VOLMAR (-before 1226).  Heinrich Bishop of Basel confirmed donations to Kloster Schöntal, including the donation “in villa Gozchon” made by “Hermannus comes” for the soul of “filii sui Volmari”, by charter dated 1226[67].  Without an indication of the date of the original donation, it is not possible to decide whether the donor was Hermann [II] or Hermann [III], assuming that he was one of the Grafen von Froburg.] 

e)         RICHENZA (-[20 Oct 1224/1225]).  “Bertoldus comes et dominus Novicastri” donated property “apud Linjars” to the church of St Moritz in Nugerol, with the consent of “conjuge sua Richenza et filiis eorum Rvo et Her”, by charter dated 26 Mar 1203[68].  “Bertoldus dominus Novi Castri” sold property to the bishop of Lausanne, with the consent of “uxor mea Riguencia et filii mei Rodulfus et Hermannus et Willermus”, by charter dated 20 Oct 1224[69].  “B. dominus Novicastri” donated property to Frienisberg, for the soul of “uxoris mee sororis comitum de Froburg”, with the consent of “filiorum meorum R. et H.”, by charter dated 1225[70]m BERTHOLD Comte de Neuchâtel, son of RODOLPHE [III] Comte de Neuchâtel & his wife Comitissa --- (-20 Aug 1261).

G.      GRAFEN von LENZBURG, GRAFEN von SCHÄNNIS

 

 

The castle of Lenzburg was situated in the north-east of Zurichgau, west of the town of Zurich.  The reconstruction of this family as shown below is uncertain.  However, it appears to be a reasonable interpretation of several different sources when read together.  It is of some significance because of the connections shown with the families of the Rudolfian kings of Burgundy and with Humbert I Comte de Maurienne, whose descendants were counts of Savoy. 

 

 

1.         ULRICH [I] .  Graf [von Schännis].  The Liber Vitæ of Einsiedeln records the donation made in Apr by “comes Uolricus de Schennis et Mechthild uxor eius[317]m MECHTILD, daughter of ---.  The Liber Vitæ of Einsiedeln records the donation made in Apr by “comes Uolricus de Schennis et Mechthild uxor eius[318].  Ulrich [I] & his wife had three children: 

a)         ARNOLD [I] (-after 976).  The Liber Vitæ of Einsiedeln records the donation of “molendinum in Buoas et huobam in Meli” made in May by “comes Arnolt, Uodalrici de Schennis filius[319].  Herr von Kloster Schännis: Emperor Otto I renewed the donation of “curtem nostram in loco Zizuris...in comitatu Hretiæ” to the church of Chur, noting that “Arnaldus Odalrici filius” claimed it belonged to “suam ecclesiam Skennines”, by charter dated 18 Aug 972, in the presence of “Bernonis...comitis palatini, Chuonradi, Odalrici, Adalberti, Hucbaldi, Rihuuini, Gotofredi, Managoldi, Lantoldi, Vuolfradi, Liutoldi comitum[320].  Vogt von Chorherrenstifts, Zürich: the dating clause of a charter dated 2 Jan 976, which confirmed various properties of the convent of Zürich, records “sub duce Ottone et advocato Arnolto[321]

b)         HEMMA (-23 Jan ----).  The Liber Vitæ of Einsiedeln records the donation made in Jan by “Hemma abbatissa filia Uodalrici comitis de Schennis[322].  A necrology of unknown provenance, marked "Fragmenta Incerta" in the compilation, records the death "X Kal Feb" of "Hemma abba Turicensis, Ulrici comitis de Schennis soror, alibi filia"[323].  The Liber Anniversariorum of Einsiedeln records the death in Jan of "Hemma abba filia Uodalrici comitis de Schennis"[324].] 

c)         HEINRICH (-16 Jan 1019).  Bishop of Lausanne.  The Liber Vitæ of Einsiedeln records the donation made in Jan by “Henricus episcopus Lausannensis filius Uolrici comitis de Schennis[325].  The  cartulary of Notre-Dame de Lausanne records that "Henricus" was ordained Bishop of Lausanne in 985 and held the position for 35 years, and that he acquired "comitatum Waldense" from Emperor Heinrich II[326].  The necrology of the church of Bero records the death "XVII Kal Feb 1019" of "Heinricus eps Lausanensis"[327].  According to Grote[328], the bishop of Lausanne who died in 1019 was "Heinrich von Schänis".  This suggests a relationship with the family of the Grafen von Lenzburg.  This assumption appears to be supported by the necrology of unknown provenance, marked "Fragmenta Incerta" in the compilation, which records the deaths of several "comitis de Schennis"[329].  It is probably also relevant that this Heinrich's supposed nephew Heinrich was Bishop of Lausanne at a later date, in view of the contemporary practice of episcopal appointments often being made within the same family.] 

 

 

1.         ---  .  The primary source which confirms the identity of Ulrich [II]’s father has not been identified.  The chronology suggests that he could have been Arnold [I] who is named above.  m ---.  The family origin of the mother of Ulrich [II] is not known.  However, it would not be surprising if she was ---, relative of the Burgundian nobleman Anselm [II], whose daughter married Humbert [I] Comte de Maurienne (see BURGUNDY KINGDOM NOBILITY and SAVOY).  The indicators of this relationship are as follows.  Firstly, "Aimo, Sedun…episcopus", who is identified as Aimon son of Comte Humbert [I], donated property which he had inherited from "avunculo meo comite Oudolrico" to the church of Sion, by charter dated 12 Jun 1052[330].  As Aimon´s mother was probably the daughter of Anselm [I] (see BURGUNDY KINGDOM NOBILITY), "avunculo meo comite Oudolrico" can probably be identified as her brother Odalric/Ulrich.  Secondly, the same charter records that Bishop Aimon acted in this donation "per manum advocatis mei comitis Oudalrici".  Bishop Aimon also acted through "Odvolrici eiusdem ecclesie aduocati" in a charter dated 23 Dec 1043[331].  The "advocatus" of bishops and other ecclesiastical dignataries can often be identified as family members.  Thirdly, "Odalricus comes de Lenceburc" donated "allodium quod pater meus et mater in monte…Novum castrum emerunt" to the church of Sion by charter dated to [1036/54][332], which shows that the Lenzburg family had a connection with the bishopric of Sion.  It is therefore suggested that "Odalricus comes de Lenceburc" who is named in the [1036/54] charter and "advocatis mei comitis Oudalrici", named in the 23 Dec 1043 and 12 Jun 1052 documents, were the same person and can be identified as Ulrich [I] Graf von Lenzburg.  As Odalric/Ulrich, son of Anselm [II], is not recorded as having children, it is likely that the relationship with the Lenzburg family was through the female line.  The chronology suggests that this may have been through the mother of Graf Ulrich [II] who could have been a sister of Anselm [II].  [Two children]:

a)         ULRICH [II] (-20 Aug [1052/53]).  Graf von Lenzburg.  The necrology of the church of Bero, under "XIII Kal Sep", records that "Ulricus com de Lenzburg" restored the church of Bero in 1036[333].  “Vodalricus...comes” restored the church of Bero, as his patrinomy would be transmitted to his “nephews” in the absence of sons (“patrimonium meum non in filios (quoniam his orbatus sum) sed in nepotes meos sit transituram”), naming “nepoti meo Arnulfo...filius meus Henricus”, and provides for anniversaries for “mei et filii mei Conradi episcopi et filii mei Heinrici”, by charter dated 9 Feb 1036[334].  Vogt von Frauenmünster, Zürich.  "Odalricus comes de Lenceburc" donated "allodium quod pater meus et mater in monte…Novum castrum emerunt" to the church of Sion by charter dated to [1036/54][335].  As discussed above, it is possible that "advocatus Oudolricus" who is named in the following two documents was Ulrich [I] Graf von Lenzburg.  "Aymonis episcopi" enfeoffed a vassal with property "per manum Odvolrici eiusdem ecclesie aduocati" by charter dated 23 Dec 1043[336].  Heinrich III King of Germany confirmed donations made by “Ulricus comes” to the church of Bero “in pago Argowe in comitatu Arnolfi comitis” by charter dated 23 Jan 1045[337].  "Aimo, Sedun…episcopus" donated property, inherited from "avunculo meo comite Oudolrico…in villam…Ursaria", to the church of Sion "per manum advocatis mei comitis Oudalrici" by charter dated 12 Jun 1052[338].  Another advocatus ("advocati eiusdem ecclesie Upoldi") named in a charter dated 13 Mar 1054 which was also issued by Bishop Aimon[339].  This suggests that, if the co-identity with Graf Ulrich [I] is correct, that he died [1052/53].  The necrology of Sion records the death "XIII Kal Sep" of "Vdrici comitis de Lanceburc" who donated "predium suum de Nouo castro"[340].]  m ---.  The name of Ulrich’s wife is not known.  Graf Ulrich [II] & his wife had two children: 

i)          KONRAD (-1052 or after).  Bishop of Genoa 1036.  “Vodalricus...comes” restored the church of Bero, naming “nepoti meo Arnulfo...filius meus Henricus”, and provides for anniversaries for “mei et filii mei Conradi episcopi et filii mei Heinrici”, by charter dated 9 Feb 1036[341]

b)         [---.  If “nepoti” in the 9 Feb 1036 document quoted below can be interpreted in its strict sense of nephew, one of the parents of Arnold [III] was the sibling of Ulrich [II].  m ---.]  Two children: 

i)          ARNOLD [III] .  “Vodalricus...comes” restored the church of Bero, naming “nepoti meo Arnulfo...filius meus Henricus”, and provides for anniversaries for “mei et filii mei Conradi episcopi et filii mei Heinrici”, by charter dated 9 Feb 1036[345].  Graf im Aargau: Heinrich III King of Germany confirmed donations made by “Ulricus comes” to the church of Bero “in pago Argowe in comitatu Arnolfi comitis” by charter dated 23 Jan 1045[346].  “Rodulfus Suevorum dux” [Rudolf von Rheinfelden] decided the boundaries between Uri and Glarus as properties of the abbeys of Zürich and Säckingen, in the presence of “Purchardum comitem de Nellenburch, Chononem comitem de Wulvelingen, Arndoldum comitem de Lenzeburch...tunc utriusque monasterii advocatus”, by charter dated 6 May 1003 (misdated, presumably dated to [1060/70])[347]

ii)         son .  The charter dated 9 Feb 1036 states that Ulrich [II] had “nepotes” but only names Arnold [III][348]same person as...? ULRICH [III] (-after 1077).  His succession to Lenzburg suggests that he was another nephew of Ulrich [II].  Graf von Lenzburg

H.      GRAFEN von OLTINGEN

 

 

According to Zapf, Oltingen was located in the diocesis of Konstanz at the confluence of the rivers Aar and Sarine[413].  Fabri specifies that the castle, whose ruins still existed when he was writing, was built on a hundred metre rock which dominates the small town[414].  By 1241 Oltingen was held by the Grafen von Kirburg, as shown by the charter dated 9 Jul 1241 under which “H. comes de Kyburch” granted “castra Windege, Langinburc, Oltingin” to “uxori mee”, with the consent of “fratruelis mei H. comitis de Kyburch[415]

 

 

1.         BUCCO (-1089 or after).  Graf von Oltingen.  "Comes Bucco" donated property "in pago Viliacense…in villa…sancti Albini" to Lausanne by charter dated 28 Oct [1072/73], witnessed by "Episcopo Borkardo atque Amalrico et advocato Aimone, laudante Conone filio suo"[416]m ---.  The name of Bucco's wife is not known.  Graf Bucco & his wife had two children:

a)         KUNO (-after 24 Dec 1089).  The Gesta Episcoporum Lausannensium records the donation of "Cononi comiti de Oltudengas fratris suo [Borcardi Lausannensis episcopus]"[417], implying that this was made after the death of his brother.  Graf von Oltingen.  [1080/89].  [Heinrich IV King of Germany granted “castrum Arunciacum...in pago...Ochtlanden in comitatu Tirensi et villam Faverni et Salam” [Arconciel/Ergenzach in Oechtland in the county of Tirens] to “Cononi comiti” by charter dated 1082[418].  It is not certain that this charter refers to Kuno Graf von Oltingen.  However, the properties granted appear to have been in the area of Oltingen and no other Graf Kuno/Konrad has been identified in that vicinity.]  The  cartulary of Notre-Dame de Lausanne records that "Cononi comiti de Oltudenges" brother of "Borcardus Lausannensis episcopus…filius comitis Bucconis de Oltudenges" donated "curias de Resuldens et de Losnozro" to Lausanne cathedral[419]m --- [de Luxembourg, daughter of GISELBERT Comte de Luxembourg & his wife ---].  Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the charter dated 1088 under which her daughter "Regina ex prosapia non obscura…comitis Cononis filia qui frater extit Conraldi viri…in itinere Jerosolimitano defuncti, generi nimirum comitis Pictaviensis" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire for the foundation of the priory of Aiwaille[420].  Fabri identifies "Conradi" as Conrad Comte de Luxembourg, suggesting that "frater" should be interpreted to indicate brother-in-law[421].  If the speculation relating to the two possible marriages of Giselbert´s wife is correct as suggested in the document LUXEMBOURG, “frater” could indicate uterine brother, in which case Kuno´s wife may have been the full sister of Hermann [anti] King of Germany.  Graf Kuno & his wife had [two] children: 

i)          REGINA [Kuniza] (-after 12 Apr 1107).  "Regina ex prosapia non obscura…comitis Cononis filia qui frater extit Conraldi viri…in itinere Jerosolimitano defuncti, generi nimirum comitis Pictaviensis" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire where she was about to become a nun, for the foundation of the priory of Aiwaille, by charter dated 1088, which states that "me maritalis jugi sarcina exoneravit" which suggests an amicable separation from her husband[422].  The charter dated 1095 under which "Guillelmus comes" donated property to Marcigny-sur-Loire names "mater mea Cuniza Cononis filia"[423].  She is named "mater mea Regina" in her son's 1107 charter which also names her father "avi ac nutritoris mei Cononis comitis"[424].  In a charter dated 1139, "Albero…Leodiensium episcopus" notes a donation of property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire by "domna Ermensendis comitissa de Musalt, quæ uxor extitit…comitis Alberici" on the suggestion of "quadam nobili et religiosa fœmina nomine Regina, sibi enim consanguinea"[425], the original donation presumably being dated before [1109] when Ermesinde married her second husband.  It is likely that "Regina" in this charter was Regina von Oltingen, whose mother was first cousin to Ermesinde.  m (before [1085], separated) RENAUD II Comte Palatin de Bourgogne, son of GUILLAUME I "le Grand" Comte Palatin de Bourgogne & his wife Etiennette --- (-[Palestine 1097 or Summer 1101]). 

ii)         [daughter .  The name and origin of the wife of Pierre Seigneur de Glâne are not known.  However, a charter dated 1170, which records the division of revenue for Hauterive abbey, records that "Petrus dominus de Glane" had "quatuor filias…una…Emma…", adding that Emma was "mater Vldrici domini de Arconciei"[426].  It is assumed that this document means that Emma was heiress of Arconciel, which she brought to the family of the comtes de Neuchâtel.  Heinrich IV King of Germany granted “castrum Arunciacum...in pago...Ochtlanden in comitatu Tirensi et villam Faverni et Salam” {Arconciel/Ergenzach in Oechtland in the county of Tirens} to “Cononi comiti” by charter dated 1082[427].  As is noted above, “Cononi comiti” has not definitely been identified as Kuno Graf von Oltingen.  However, if this co-identity is correct, it is reasonable to suppose that Kuno granted Arconciel to his daughter on her marriage.  It is interesting to note that Pierre Seigneur de Glâne was killed during the same incident with Guillaume III Comte de Palatin de Bourgogne who, if this suggested marriage is correct, would have been the great-nephew of Pierre´s wife, the son of her presumably older sister Regina.  m PIERRE Seigneur de Glâne, son of --- (-killed Payerne Abbey 9 Feb or 1 Mar 1127, bur Cluniac priory Nirves).] 

b)         BURCHARD (-killed in battle Gleichen 24 Dec 1089).  Bishop of Lausanne 1057.  Imperial chancellor for Italy 1079.  The Gesta Episcoporum Lausannensium records the death "in vigilia natalis Domini 1089" of "Borcardus Lausannensis episcopus", recording that he was "filius comitis Bucconis de Oltudengas"[428].  The cartulary of Notre-Dame de Lausanne records the death "in vigilia natalis domini" of "Borcardus Lausannensis episcopus…filius comitis Bucconis de Oltudenges", killed "in Saxonia cum domino Henrico imperatore"[429]m ---.  The  cartulary of Notre-Dame de Lausanne records that "Borcardus Lausannensis episcopus…filius comitis Bucconis de Oltudenges" had "uxorem legitimam" who founded "capellam beati Nycholai…et ecclesiam sancti Petri de Martens apud Curtiliam" and donated "terram de Avernie" to Lausanne cathedral[430]

I.        GRAFEN von RHEINFELDEN

 

 

The old town of Rheinfelden is located on the left bank of the river Rhine in the present-day Swiss canton of Aargau, east of Basel.  The Rheinfelden family rose to prominence briefly in the late 11th century with the election of Rudolf von Rheinfelden Duke of Swabia as rival king of Germany, although his first marriage to the daughter of Emperor Heinrich III shows that Rudolf already held an important position in the imperial court.  However, definite information relating to earlier generations of the family is frustratingly limited.  According to Haverkamp, they were Burgundian nobles[440].  The basis for this statement is unknown, and no Burgundian ancestry is revealed by the primary sources quoted below.  The family’s possible ancestry was considered in 1991 by Eduard Hlawitschka, who noted a range of past theories which speculated on Lotharingian, Saxon, Franconian, Burgundian and Swabian ancestry[441].  An intriguing indication is provided by the following charter: Emperor Heinrich V confirmed the donation of “prædium Slocse” [Schluchsee] (defined by reference to adjacent properties in the document) made to Kloster St Blasius by “dux Rödolfus de Rinvelden et comes Otto et filius eius Fridericus comes, Echebertus comes de Saxonia, Ita de Saxonia et de Birctorf, Töto de Wagenhusen, Hecelo advocatus Augensis”, who held the property jointly (“in proprium communi voto”), by charter dated 8 Jan 1125[442].  The joint holding of the property by the donors indicates common ancestry.  “...Echebertus comes de Saxonia, Ita de Saxonia et de Birctorf...” are probably identifiable as Ekbert [I] Graf von Braunschweig and his presumed sister Ida von Elstorf (see the document BRUNSWICK).  If that is correct, the Rheinfelden connection may have been through their mother who was probably a member of the Alsatian family of Egisheim, about whom the available information is sketchy (see ALSACE).  Insufficient data is available to speculate sensibly on the identity of the other donors and the precise family relationships between them. 

 

 

1.         [--- von Rheinfelden .  This possible person represents the earliest reference to Rheinfelden, but he is recorded only in the unreliable Genealogia Welforum which is quoted below.  Any connection with the Zähringen family, also noted in the document, has not been traced.  The word “parenti” could indicate a remote family relationship.  If he did exist, the chronology suggests that he would have belonged to the generation of the grandparents of Rudolf von Rheinfelden King of Germany.  m [---, daughter of KONRAD Duke of Swabia & his wife Richlind --- ([970/97]-).  The Genealogia Welforum refers to the four daughters of "Chuno comes [et] filia Ottonis Magni imperatoris", specifying that the second (unnamed) married "cuidam de Rinvelden parenti Zaringorum"[443].  The Historia Welforum refers to the four daughters of "Couno comes" and "filia Ottonis magnis imperatoris…Richlint", specifying that they married "una Roudolfo isti [=Welforum], alia cuidam de Rinveldin, parenti Zaringiorum, tercia regie Rugiorum, quarta comiti de Diezon"[444].  As noted in the document SWABIA DUKES, these two sources are unreliable in their recording of the sons of Konrad I Duke of Swabia, so should not be assumed to be any more precise in recording his daughter.  The primary source which confirms her name has not been identified.]

 

 

1.         --- .  m [as her first husband,] ---, daughter of ---.  [The documents concerning the foundation of Kloster Muri, quoted below, indicate that the mother of Kuno von Rheinfelden was also, by a different marriage, mother of Ita, who married Radbod Graf [von Habsburg].  As noted below, the reliability of this information is uncertain.  If it is correct, the chronology of the lives of Ita and Kuno suggest that the latter was probably the older sibling, and therefore born from an earlier marriage of their mother, although this is not beyond all doubt.  A family relationship between the Rheinfelden and Habsburg families is confirmed by the continuation of the Annales of St. Gallen, quoted below under Adelaide second wife of Rudolf King of Germany, which names Ita’s son “Werinhario commite [presumably Werner Graf von Habsburg] suo cognato”, the term “cognatus” usually being used in early medieval sources to indicate varying degrees of cousinship by blood[445].  Ita’s parentage was also discussed by Parisot and Bloch in the early 20th century, but the discussion appears too speculative to draw reliable conclusions[446].  Werner Bishop of Strasbourg, also named as brother of Ita in the documents shown below, is recorded in another document as the brother of Ita’s husband (see GRAFEN von HABSBURG), above.]  [Two] children: 

a)         KUNO [von Rheinfelden] ([990/1000]-).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[447], he was the half-brother of Ita, wife of Graf Ratbod, ancestor of the Grafen von Habsburg.  This is presumably based on a Habsburg genealogy which records that "Theodricus dux Lotharingorum et Chono comes de Rinfelden" were brothers and that "horum soror Ita comitissa de Habspurg" restored the monastery of Muri[448].  The identity of "Theodricus dux Lotharingorum" in this text is confused as the passage also records that he was father of "Gerhardum ducem", who in turn was father of "Gerhardum de Egisheim, patrem Uodelrici et Sthephani".  These individuals and their supposed family relationships have not been identified with certainty[449].  No other document has been found which confirms a relationship between the Lotharingian dukes (see the document LOTHARINGIA, KINGS, DUKES & PFALZGRAFEN), the Grafen von Egisheim (see ALSACE), and the Rheinfelden family, although a possible connection with Egisheim is suggested by the 1125 charter quoted in the introduction to this section.  Another document which records the foundation of Kloster Muri names “Itam sororem Theodrici ducis ac Wernharii Argentine civitatis episcopi”, as wife of “Radeboto”, and “Chono fratrem suum de matre, patrem autem Rudolfi regis[450].  No source has been identified which names Kuno in his own capacity or indicates either the dates of his birth (considering the chronology of his daughter he was probably born in the 990s) or death.  m ---.  The name of Kuno's wife is not known.  As noted below, Armin Wolf suggests her relationship with the family of the Comtes de Genève.  This speculation is based on his views on a passage in a continuation of the Annales of St. Gallen which, as noted below under this couple’s possible daughter, is subject to another interpretation which appears to be more likely.  Kuno & his wife had [four] children: 

i)          daughter .  Her parentage is confirmed by the Chronicon Ebersheimense which names [her grandson] "Adelgaudum abbatem…filius Iudite, filia sororis Ruodolfi [dux Alemannorum]" when recording that Emperor Heinrich IV expelled him from the abbey[451].  The involvement of Emperor Heinrich IV indicates that this daughter must have been one of her parents’ older children, considering that Adelgaud was presumably adult at the time of the intervention.  m ---.  No indication has been found about the identity of her husband.  One child: 

(a)       JUDITH .  Her parentage is confirmed by the Chronicon Ebersheimense which names "Adelgaudum abbatem…filius Iudite, filia sororis Ruodolfi [dux Alemannorum]" when recording that Emperor Heinrich IV expelled him from the abbey[452].  No indication has been found about the identity of Judith’s husband.  m ---.  One child: 

(1)       ADELGAUD .  The Chronicon Ebersheimense names "Adelgaudum abbatem…filius Iudite, filia sororis Ruodolfi [dux Alemannorum]" when recording that Emperor Heinrich IV expelled him from the abbey[453].  Abbot of Ebersteinmünster. 

ii)         [daughter .  A family relationship is indicated between Rudolf von Rheinfelden King of Germany and Géraud Comte de Genève: a continuation of the Annales of St Gallen records that in 1064 “Rudolfus dux” attacked “Burgundiones” and expelled “sui sororini...rebellis Geroldi” from Geneva[454].  The term “sororinus” is rarely encountered in medieval documents.  Ducange provides three possible definitions: “sororis maritus”, “uxoris frater”, and “filiolus sororis[455].  The second of these can be excluded in the context of the Rheinfelden family given our knowledge about the families of Rudolf’s wives, as well as the third given the chronology of the lives of Géraud and Rudolf which suggests that the former was born earlier than the latter.  “Sister’s husband” is therefore the most likely possibility, with which Hlawitschka agrees[456].  This is consistent with “sororinus” being derived from “soror” and maybe being a variation of “sororius”.  As shown in the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM NOBILITY, Géraud is recorded with two possible wives, his [second] marriage being dated to [1060/70].  It is difficult to assess whether, in this scenario, his [first wife] Gisela or his [second] wife Tetberga would have been the daughter of Kuno Graf von Rheinfelden.  It should be noted that Armin Wolf, linking the etymology of “sororinus” with “sobrinus” and by extension “consobrinus”, suggests that the text quoted means that Géraud and Rudolf were first cousins, sons of two sisters[457].  However, this interpretation requires reading “sororini” as “consororini”, which stretches the natural interpretation of the passage.  If Géraud’s wife was Rudolf’s sister, presumably she could have been the same person as Kuno’s daughter shown above (in which case she would be identified as Géraud’s [first wife] Gisela).  m as his [first/second] wife, GERAUD Comte de Genève, son of --- & his wife Bertha --- ([1010/20]-after [1065/80]).] 

iii)        RUDOLF von Rheinfelden (-killed in battle near Hohenmölsen near Merseburg [15/16] Oct 1080, bur Merseburg cathedral).  A Habsburg genealogy records that "Chono comes de Rinfelden" was father of "Rudolfum regem"[458].  He was installed as Duke of Swabia in 1057.  He was elected as RUDOLF King of Germany in 1077. 

-         see below

iv)       ADALBERO (-6 Aug 1070).  Monk at St Gallen.  Bishop of Worms 1066.  The Annales of Lambert of Hersfeld record the death in 1065 of “Arnolfus Wormaciæ episcopus” and the succession of “Adalbero monachus ex monasterio sancti Galli, frater Ruodolfi ducis”, noting that the latter had “uno pede omnino debilis” but was nevertheless “vir per omnia dignus spectaculo[459].  The same source records the death in 1070 of “Adalbero Wormaciæ episcopus, propria, ut fertur, crassitudine præfocatus[460].  It is not known whether Adalbero shared both parents with Rudolf.  The date of his appointment suggests that Adalbero was younger than his brother Rudolf, who was already appointed Duke of Swabia in 1057. 

b)         [ADELHEID (-7 Dec after 1057, bur Alsleben).  The Annalista Saxo records in 1056 that “Ludigerum comitem...Udo” had married “Adelheidis...amita Rodolfi regis[461].  The Annales Stadenses name "Adelheithim amitam Rodolfi [von Rheinfelden]" as wife of "comitem Luderum"[462].  Other parts of these Annales appear unreliable and this statement should be treated with caution until corroborated by another source.  The word “amita”, if used in its strict sense, would indicate paternal aunt, but it has been observed that the terms patruus/avunculus/amita/matertera are sometimes used indiscriminately in medieval sources to indicate relationships on either the paternal or maternal side of a family.  The family relationship is also indicated by the following source: Bruno’s Buch vom Sachsenkrieg records in 1074 that “Udo noster marchio“ wounded “consobrinum suum Rodulfum ducem[463].  The Chronicon Monasterii Rosenfeld seu Hassefeld records the death “VII Id Nov” of “Luderus comes, qui capellam sancti Nicolai construxit” and in the next line “VII Id Dec” of “Adelheit cometissa uxor Luderi comitis[464]m ([1025]) LOTHAR-UDO von Stade, son of SIEGFRIED II Graf von Stade & his wife Adela von Alsleben (after 994-7 Nov 1057).  He succeeded in 1037 as LOTHAR-UDO II Graf von Stade, and in 1056 as LOTHAR-UDO I Markgraf der Nordmark.] 

 

 

RUDOLF von Rheinfelden, son of KUNO Graf von Rheinfelden & his wife --- (-killed in battle near Hohenmölsen near Merseburg [15/16] Oct 1080, bur Merseburg cathedral).  A Habsburg genealogy records that "Chono comes de Rinfelden" was father of "Rudolfum regem"[465].  [Graf im Sisgau: Emperor Heinrich III confirmed various properties to Basel cathedral, including property “in pago Sysgowe in villis Melin et Gurbulun [Möhlin, Görbelhof] in comitatu Rudolfi comitis”, by charter dated 1 Jun 1048[466].  Hlawitschka suggests that the proximity of Sisgau to Rheinfelden may indicate that “Rudolfi comitis” was Rudolf Graf von Rheinfelden[467].]  He was installed as Duke of Swabia in 1057 by Agnes de Poitou, widow of Emperor Heinrich III[468].  Frutolf von Michelsberg’s Chronicon Wirziburgense records in 1057 the death of “Otto de Svinfurte dux Suevorum IV Kal Oct“ and the appointment of “Ruodolfus de Rinveldon qui postea rex esse contendit[469].  He became rector of Burgundy, entrusted with the administration of the kingdom, in 1060[470].  He introduced the stricter monastic rules from Fruttuaria[471] into the monastery of St Blasien in 1072.  He was one of the nobles opposed to his brother-in-law King Heinrich IV.  He was elected as RUDOLF King of Germany at Forcheim in Feb 1077 by the German nobility who were affronted by Pope Gregory VI's withdrawal of the order of excommunication against King Heinrich[472].  The Pope remained neutral, but after the king's defeat near Flarcheim on the Unstrut 27 Jan 1080, he renewed the excommunication of the king and impliedly declared support for Rudolf as anti-king by granting remission to the sins of Rudolf's supporters[473].  The Chronicon of Bernold records the death "1080 Id Oct" of "Roudolfus rex", and his burial "apud Merseburc"[474].  The necrology of St Peter im Schwarzwald records the death "XVII Kal Nov" of "Ruodolfus rex"[475].  The identification of this entry with Rudolf von Rheinfelden is rendered more probable by another entry referring to his daughter Agnes as "filia Ruodolfi regis de Arle". 

m firstly (1059) MATHILDE of Germany, daughter of Emperor HEINRICH III King of Germany & his second wife Agnès de Poitou (1045-12 May 1060).  The Annales of Berthold record the marriage in 1059 of "Roudolfus Alemmanorum dux" and "Mahthildam, Heinrici regis sororem" and the death in 1060 of "Mahthilt soror regis"[476].  The Annales Sancti Blasii record the marriage in 1059 of "Roudolfus dux" and "Mahtildam regis sororem", and the death of "Mahtilt uxor Roudolfi ducis" in 1060[477]

m secondly ([1061/62]) ADELAIDE de Savoie, daughter of ODDON Comte de Chablais, Marchese di Susa & his wife Adelaida Marchesa di Susa ([1052/53]-[Schloß Twiel] early 1079, bur St Blasius).  The Annales of Berthold, which record the death in 1079 of "uxor…regis Roudolfi…Adelheit, filia Adelheidæ marchionissæ, soror Berhtæ reginæ uxoris Heinrici", prove that she was the daughter of Adelaida di Susa[478].  Her daughter Adelheid is named with "progenitoribus Rodolfo…rege et Adelheida…regina matertera Heinrici quarti inperatoris" in a charter dated [1079/10 Oct 1086][479]Europäische Stammtafeln[480] shows Adelaide's birth date as "after 1052", presumably based on the likelihood that she was born after her sister Berthe as Heinrich IV King of Germany would no doubt have married the older daughter.  Concerning her marriage date, it is likely that the marriage took place after the marriage of her older sister.  She is named "Adalheid coniux Ruodulfi ducis" in the Annales Weissemburgenses, which records that she was accused of being unchaste, was repudiated by her husband two years later, but that Pope Alexander arranged a reconciliation, dated to [1069/71][481].  A continuation of the Annales of St Gallen records that “uxor Rudolphi ducis” was accused of adultery with “Werinhario commite [presumably Werner Graf von Habsburg] suo cognato[482].  The Annales of Berthold record that "rex…Roudolfus…uxor" was "in partes Burgundiæ a Turego divertens", suffering "iniurias" in "quodam castello suo"[483].  The wife of "Rudolfus rex de Arle" is named "Adelheidis" in a list of founders of the monastery of St Peter in Schwarzwald[484].  The Annales Sancti Blasii record the death in 1079 of "Adelheit uxor Roudolfi regis" and her burial "apud Sanctum Blasium"[485].  The Annales of Berthold record the death in 1079 of "uxor…regis Roudolfi…Adelheit, filia Adelheidæ marchionissæ, soror Berhtæ reginæ uxoris Heinrici" and her burial "ad monasterium Sancti Blasii"[486].  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[487], Adelaide married firstly Guigues Comte d'Albon.  Another table in Europäische Stammtafeln[488] shows the first wife of Guigues Comte d'Albon as "Adelais (von Turin)" and their son Guigues II Comte d'Albon as co-heir of Adelaida Marchese di Susa in 1091.  The basis for this alleged first marriage has not been found but it is unlikely to be correct considering Adelaide's likely birth date. 

Rudolf & his second wife had six children: 

1.         ADELHEID von Rheinfelden ([1063/65]-3 May 1090, bur St Blasius).  "Filia eorum Adilheida regina que nupsit regi Ungariorum" and "progenitoribus Rodolfo…rege et Adelheida…regina matertera Heinrici quarti inperatoris" are named in a donation to Sankt-Blasien by charter dated [1079/10 Oct 1086] which also names "cuius filius [Rodolfo et Adelheida] Bertholfus…dux frater regine nostre…cum fratre suo Ottone"[489].  Her birth date is estimated from the estimated birth date range of her supposed daughter Piroska (although, as noted below, there is doubt concerning Piroska's parentage).  Given her likely birth date, Adelheid must have been her parents' oldest child.  The Chronicon of Bernold records that "soror quoque præfati ducis [Berthaldus dux Alemanniæ, filius Roudolfi regis] regina Ungarorum" died in the same month and year as her brother[490].  The name of her husband is not stated in any of the contemporary sources so far identified.  However, King László appears to be the most likely possibility: considering Adelheid's estimated birth date, her husband is unlikely to have been King Géza, whose death is recorded in 1077, and King Géza's son Kálmán did not succeeded until 1095, after the recorded date of Adelheid's death as "regina Ungarorum".  This supposition is confirmed by the charter dated 1201 under which Imre King of Hungary restored "prædio…Merena", donated by "regina Adulheyth, uxor…bonæ memoriæ regis Ladislai", to "ecclesiæ beati Michaëlis de Vesprimio"[491].  Her father was the candidate for the German throne supported by the Pope, this marriage being arranged by King László as part of his policy of seeking Papal support[492].  The necrology of Seeon records the death "V Non May" of "Adelheit regina Ungariorum"[493]m (1077) LÁSZLÓ I King of Hungary, son of BÉLA I King of Hungary & his wife [Ryksa] of Poland (in Poland [1046/50]-Nitra 20 Jun 1095, bur Somogyvár, transferred 1192 to Nagyvárad Cathedral). 

2.         BERTHOLD (-18 May 1090, bur St Blasius).  He was appointed BERTHOLD I Duke of Swabia in 1079 in succession to his father, in opposition to Heinrich IV King of Germany who appointed Friedrich von Staufen to the Swabian duchy.  The Chronicon of Bernold records that "Bertaldi ducis, filii regis Roudolfi" was besieged by supporters of King Heinrich in 1084[494].  The Annales Rosenveldenses records the death in 1090 of "Bertolfus dux filius Rudolfi"[495].  The Chronicon of Bernold records the death in "1090…Maio mense" of "Bertholdus dux Alemanniæ, filius Roudolfi regis"[496].  The necrology of Schaffhausen records the death "XV Kal Jun" of "Bertaldus dux Alemannia"[497]

3.         AGNES von Rheinfelden (-19 Dec 1111).  The Gesta Friderici of Otto of Freising records that "Berhtolfus de castro Zaringen" married "Radolfi filia" but does not name her[498].  The Annales of Berthold record the marriage in 1079 of "Berhtoldus marchio, ducis Berhtoldi filius, adolescens" and "Agnetem, Roudolfi regis filiam"[499].  The Genealogia Zaringorum names "Agnes filia regis Rudolfi Arulacensis" wife of "Berchtoldus", specifying that she was buried with her husband at St Peter in 1111[500].  The necrology of St Peter im Schwarzwald records the death "XIV Kal Jan" of "Agnes uxor ducis Berchtoldi et filia Ruodolfi regis de Arle"[501].  [Betrothed (1077, contract broken) to HERMANN Pfalzgraf von Lotharingen, son of [HEINRICH "Furiosus" Pfalzgraf von Lothringen [Ezzonen] & his wife Mathilde of Lotharingia] (-20 Sep 1085).  The Annales of Berthold name "Herimannus comes Palatinus, qui gener regis Roudolfi futurus erat" in 1077[502].  It is assumed that this passage indicates that Pfalzgraf Hermann was betrothed to one of the daughters of Rudolf von Rheinfelden, although no other reference to this fact has been found.  If this is correct, the daughter was presumably Agnes as Adelheid was already married in 1077.]  m ([1077/79]) BERTHOLD, son of BERTHOLD I [von Zähringen] Duke of Carinthia & his first wife Richwara of Swabia [Babenberg] ([1050]-12 Apr 1111, bur St Peter in Schwarzwald).  He was installed as BERTHOLD II Duke of Swabia in 1092 by Emperor Heinrich IV.  He renounced his claims to Swabia in favour of Friedrich I von Staufen, although he retained the title of Duke[503].  Herzog von Zähringen 1100. 

4.         BERTHA von Rheinfelden (-20 Jan after 1128, bur Mehrerau).  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "comes Oudalricus…Brigantium", records his betrothal to "filiam Wernheri comitis de Habichisburc" but states that he "concubit latenter cum Berhta filia Ruodolfi regis"[504].  Gräfin von Kellmünz.  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Bertha relicta Oudalrici" and "filiorum suorum Roudolfi et Oudalrici" recording their donation after her husband died[505].  The necrology of Augiæ Maioris records the death "XIII Kal Feb" of "Bertha com"[506]m (before 1077) ULRICH [X] Graf von Bregenz, son of ULRICH [IX] Graf von Bregenz & his wife --- (-[28/29] Oct [1097], bur Mehrerau). 

5.         OTTO von Rheinfelden (-young, bur St Blasius).  "Filia eorum Adilheida regina que nupsit regi Ungariorum" and "progenitoribus Rodolfo…rege et Adelheida…regina matertera Heinrici quarti inperatoris" are named in a donation to Sankt-Blasien by charter dated [1079/10 Oct 1086] which also names "cuius filius [Rodolfo et Adelheida] Bertholfus…dux frater regine nostre…cum fratre suo Ottone"[507]

6.         BRUNO von Rheinfelden .  He is named as son of King Rudolf in Europäische Stammtafeln[508].  He is not named by Hlawitschka as one of Rudolf’s children[509].  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified.  Monk at Hirsau.  Abbot of Ussenhofen am Scheyern. 

 

 

 

J.      GRAFEN von SOGREN

 

 

The county of Sogren (Soihières or Soybières in French) was located on the river Birse, near Bern.  It was also referred to in primary sources as Seedorf.  The county appears to have been short-lived as references are limited to the mid-12th century.  It was inherited by the Grafen von Thierstein. 

 

 

1.         --- .  m KUNIZA, daughter of --- (-after 1131).  "Udelardus comes…de Seedorf et uxor mea Adelheid" founded the monastery of Erlach, with the consent of "matre mea Chunza", by charter dated 1131[510].  One child: 

a)         UDELHARD (-[after 23 Jul 1147]).  Graf von Sogren, Graf von Seedorf:  "Udelardus comes…de Seedorf et uxor mea Adelheid" founded the monastery of Erlach, with the consent of "matre mea Chunza", by charter dated 1131[511].  [Pope Eugene III confirmed the possessions of Beinweil, founded by "nobilium virorum Nokeri, Oudelhardi, Burchardi, Oudalrici", by bull dated 23 Jul 1147[512].  “Oudelhardi” could have been Udelhard Graf von Sogren.]  m ADELHEID, daughter of --- (-after 1170).  "Udelardus comes…de Seedorf et uxor mea Adelheid" [founded the monastery of Erlach, with the consent of "matre mea Chunza", by charter dated 1131[513].  "Comitissa Adeleidis uxor…comitis Odelardi" confirmed the donation by "prædictus vir eius comes Ovdelardus" to the abbey of Frienisberg, with the consent of "duæ filiæ sæpe dicti comitis Berhta et Agnesa…Radulfus comes prædictæ Berhtæ filius", by charter dated to [1170][514].  Udelhard & his wife had two children: 

i)          BERTA (-after [1180]).  "Comitissa Adeleidis uxor…comitis Odelardi" confirmed the donation by "prædictus vir eius comes Ovdelardus" to the abbey of Frienisberg, with the consent of "duæ filiæ sæpe dicti comitis Berhta et Agnesa…Radulfus comes prædictæ Berhtæ filius", by charter dated to [1170][515]m --- Graf von Thierstein, son of ---. 

ii)         AGNES .  "Comitissa Adeleidis uxor…comitis Odelardi" confirmed the donation by "prædictus vir eius comes Ovdelardus" to the abbey of Frienisberg, with the consent of "duæ filiæ sæpe dicti comitis Berhta et Agnesa…Radulfus comes prædictæ Berhtæ filius", by charter dated to [1170][516].  Quiquerez suggests that “la seconde fille du comte de Sogren...Agnès” married into the Ferrette family in order to explain how it acquired possession of “[le] château de Sogren, de l´avouerie du Sornegau...[et] de celle de Grandval[517].  This appears to be a good suggestion, as the acquisition of these properties is best explained by marriage, although as discussed in more detail in the document ALSACE Agnes von Sogren is not the only possible candidate.  [m ([after 1170]) --- de Ferrette, son of --- & his wife ---.] 

 

 

 

K.      GRAFEN von THIERSTEIN

Two brothers: 

1.         MANEGOLD (-1 May 991, bur Quedlinburg Cathedral).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Manegold was the possible son of Burkhard [I] Graf im Zürichgau[630].  "Otto…rex" gave property "in loco Badon…in pago Ufgouue…comitatu Cuonradi comitis" to "Managoldo comiti" by charter dated 27 Aug 987[631]m ---.  The name of Manegold's wife is not known.  Graf Manegold & his wife had [two] children:

b)         [EBERHARD [IV] (-[1030/34]).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Manegold was the possible father of Graf Eberhard [IV], Vogt of Kloster Einsiedeln and ancestor of the Grafen von Nellenburg[633].  This is certainly indicated by the charter dated 11 Mar 992 under which "Otto…rex" donated property "Saramaresheim in pago Alsaciæ ac comitatu Eberhardi comitis " to Kloster Selz after the death of "Manegoldo comiti", Manegold having started the process before he died[634].]

2.         GOTTFRIED (-995).  Brother of Graf Manegold[635].  Monk at Einsiedeln. 

 

 

EBERHARD [IV], son of [MANEGOLD Graf im Zürichgau & his wife ---] (-[1030/34]).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Manegold was the possible father of Graf Eberhard [IV], Vogt of Kloster Einsiedeln and ancestor of the Grafen von Nellenburg[636].  This is indicated by the charter dated 11 Mar 992 under which "Otto…rex" donated property "Saramaresheim in pago Alsaciæ ac comitatu Eberhardi comitis " to Kloster Selz after the death of "Manegoldo comiti", Manegold having started the process before he died[637]

m (1009) HEDWIG, daughter of --- (-after 1034).  The Annales Scafhusenses record the marriage in 1009 of "Ebbo comes de Nellenburc" and "consobrinam Heinrici regis Hedewigam…de curie regis"[638].  If "consobrinam" is here used in its precise sense, Hedwig would have been the daughter of one of the sisters of Gisela, daughter of Conrad I King of Upper Burgundy.  According to the early 12th century Vita Eberhardi[639], the mother of Eberhard Graf von Nellenburg (son of Eberhard [IV] Graf im Zürichgau) was --- of Hungary, daughter of István I King of Hungary, although it is somewhat surprising that such a prominent figure as King István, in far off Hungary, would have married his daughter to an obscure Swiss count.  If Hedwig was the daughter of King István, there is a remote possibility that she was the same daughter who supposedly married Edmund ætheling, although if this is correct she would have been much older than her second husband.  This supposed Hungarian origin appears unlikely, given Hedwig’s property holding in Rheingau mentioned in the following document: “comes Eberhardus cum domina Hadewiga matre sua” founded Kloster Pfaffen-Schwabenheim bei Kreuznach with his mother’s property “im Rheingau” by charter dated 1034[640]

Graf Eberhard [IV] & his wife had [four] children: 

1.         BURKHARD [II] (-killed in battle Civitate 18 Jun 1053, bur Reichenau).  "Eberhardus comes filius Eberhardi quondam comitis" donated property to Reichenau, for the souls of "patris mei Eberhardi et fratrum meorum Purghardi et Manegoldi" by charter dated 1056[641]

2.         MANEGOLD (-killed in battle Falkenstein, Schwarzwald 17 Aug 1030, bur Reichenau).  The Annales Sangallenses name "Manegolt comes" in 1030[642].  "Eberhardus comes filius Eberhardi quondam comitis" donated property to Reichenau, for the souls of "patris mei Eberhardi et fratrum meorum Purghardi et Manegoldi" by charter dated 1056[643]

3.         EBERHARD (-26 Mar [1076/79]).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Eberhard was the son of Graf Eberhard [IV], built the castle of Nellenburg before 1050 and was ancestor of the Grafen von Nellenburg[644].  Graf im Zürichgau.  “Comes Eberhardus cum domina Hadewiga matre sua” founded Kloster Pfaffen-Schwabenheim bei Kreuznach with his mother’s property “im Rheingau” by charter dated 1034[645].  "Eberhardus comes Turegie provincie" exchanged property with "Bertholdo Carinthiorum duce" by charter dated early Mar 1050, witnessed by "…Burchardus et Eberhardus et Adelbertus, filii Eberhardi comitis…"[646].  This charter is presumably misdated as Berthold did not become Duke of Carinthia until 1061, and his son Marchese in 1072.  The Annales Scafhusenses record that "Eberhardus comes de Nellinburc" founded "Scafhusensem locum" in 1052[647].  "Eberhardus comes filius Eberhardi quondam comitis" donated property to Reichenau, for the souls of "patris mei Eberhardi et fratrum meorum Purghardi et Manegoldi" by charter dated 1056[648].  "Heinricus…rex" granted property "in villa Kiricheim in pago Nechargovve in comitatu Eberhardi comitis" to "prefatus Eberhardus comes" by charter dated 22 Nov 1059[649].  "Heinricus…rex" granted property "duas villas Hochfeld et Suueichusen cum foresto Heiligenforst in comitatu Gerhardi comitis in pago Nortcowe" to "Eberhardo comiti" by charter dated 22 May 1065[650].  "Heinricus…rex" granted property "in pagis Cletgowe et Hegowe in comitatibus Gerungi et Lodawici comitis" to "comiti Eberhardo" by charter dated 1067[651]m ITA, daughter of --- (-26 Feb or 2 May after 1105).  The Historia Trevirensis names “ex Alamannorum prosapia oriundus patre Eberhardo comite, matre Ida” as parents of “Udo” Archibishop of Trier, adding that they founded “monasterii…Scafuse[652].  She became a nuun at St Agnes, Schaffhausen as shown by the charter dated 1 Mar 1080 under which her son "Comes Burchardus de castello Nellenburk" confirmed donations to "monasterium sancti Salvatoris in pago Cletgouve in villa Schafhusa super litus Reni" founded by "progenitoribus meis…Eberhardo, ex religioso comite in eodem monasterio monacho…facto, et Ita…monachicam…in cella sancte Agne in eadem villa"[653].  The necrology of Zwiefalten records the death "VI Non Mai" of "Ita com de Nellinburc"[654].  Graf Eberhard & his wife had [seven] children: 

a)         UDO (-killed in battle Tübingen 11 Nov 1078, bur Trier St Peter)Archbishop of Trier 1066.  The Gesta Treverorum records that "Udo Suevus nobilis" succeeded as archbishop of Trier after the death of "Cuononem"[655].  A continuator of the Gesta Treverorum records that "Uodo…ex Alamannorum prosapia oriundus" was elected at Trier in succession to Kuno, son of "patre Everhardo comite, matre Ita" who founded "cœnobii…Scafuse"[656].  The Historia Trevirensis names “ex Alamannorum prosapia oriundus patre Eberhardo comite, matre Ida” as parents of “Udo” Archibishop of Trier, adding that they founded “monasterii…Scafuse[657].  The Gesta Treverorum records the death 13 Nov 1078 and burial in "monasterio St Petri" of "domnus Cuono [error for Udo]…ex Alamannorum prosapia oriundus…patre Everhardo comite, matre Ita"[658]

b)         EKKEHARD (-24 Nov 1088).  Abbot of Reichenau 1073.  “Eggehardus...Augiensium abbas” renewed the market at Allensbach by charter dated 1075, witnessed by “pater eius Eberhardus comes[659].  Anti-bishop of Augsburg 1088. 

c)         BURKHARD [III] (-21 Jan [1106]).  "Eberhardus comes Turegie provincie" exchanged property with "Bertholdo Carinthiorum duce" by charter dated early Mar 1050, witnessed by "…Burchardus et Eberhardus et Adelbertus, filii Eberhardi comitis…"[660].  This charter is presumably misdated as Berthold did not become Duke of Carinthia until 1061, and his son Marchese in 1072.  Graf von Nellenburg.  “Rodulfus Suevorum dux” [Rudolf von Rheinfelden] decided the boundaries between Uri and Glarus as properties of the abbeys of Zürich and Säckingen, in the presence of “Purchardum comitem de Nellenburch, Chononem comitem de Wulvelingen, Arndoldum comitem de Lenzeburch...tunc utriusque monasterii advocatus”, by charter dated 6 May 1003 (misdated, presumably dated to [1060/70])[661].  "Comes Burchardus de castello Nellenburk" confirmed donations to "monasterium sancti Salvatoris in pago Cletgouve in villa Schafhusa super litus Reni" founded by "progenitoribus meis…Eberhardo, ex religioso comite in eodem monasterio monacho…facto, et Ita…monachicam…in cella sancte Agne in eadem villa", by charter dated 1 Mar 1080[662].  Vogt von Allerheiligen 1080.  "Comes Burchardus de Nellenburk, monasterii sancti Salvatoris advocatus" exchanged property with "Totoni de villa…Wagenhusa" by charter dated 1083[663].  A charter dated "1086 Kal Apr" quoted in the Fundatio Monasterii S Georgii in Nigra Silva names "comes Burchart de Nellenburg"[664].  Vogt von Beuron 1092.  "Burchardus comes cum Adelberto comite advocato predicti monasterii et Theoderico fratre illius" confirmed possessions of Schaffhausen St Salvator by charter dated to [1100/05], confirmed by "Burchardo comiti cum nepotibus suis…"[665].  "Burchardus comes de Nellenburc" donated property "in villa..:Scafhusa predium…Hemmendal cum silva Randa" to Schaffhausen St Salvator by charter dated 27 Feb 1100, witnessed by "Berhtolfi ducis de Zaringen, Herimanni marchionis de Linthburch, Theodorici comitis de Nellenburch, Ludwici comitis de Stoffeln, Berhtolfi comitis de Marstetin…"[666]m HADEWICH, daughter of --- (-26 Feb after 1105).  "Burchardus comes et uxor eius Hadewich" donated "curtim…Hemmental cum silva…Rando" to Schaffhausen St Salvator, undated[667]

C.      HERREN von REGENSBERG

a)         LÜTOLD [II] von Regensberg (-after 22 Jan 1130).  “Liutolfus laicus de Reginsberch et eius...coniunx Judintha cum filio eorum Liutolfo” donated property “Vare” to Kloster Einsiedeln by charter dated 22 Jan 1130, witnessed by “...Otto de Regensberg...[676]m JUDENTA, daughter of --- (-after 22 Jan 1130).  “Liutolfus laicus de Reginsberch et eius...coniunx Judintha cum filio eorum Liutolfo” donated property “Vare” to Kloster Einsiedeln by charter dated 22 Jan 1130[677].  Lütold [II] & his wife had one child: 

i)          LÜTOLD [III] von Regensberg (-after 12 Jan 1152).  “Liutolfus laicus de Reginsberch et eius...coniunx Judintha cum filio eorum Liutolfo” donated property “Vare” to Kloster Einsiedeln by charter dated 22 Jan 1130[678].  "...Lutolfus de Regensberch..." witnessed the charter dated 12 Jan 1152 under which Konrad III King of Germany confirmed Kloster Ochsenhausen to Kloster St. Blasius[679]

b)         OTTO von Regensberg (-after 1135).  "...Otto de Reginesberch..." witnessed the charter dated 30 Sep 1113 which confirms the dedication of Kloster St. Peter im Schwarzwald and donated property "in pago...Goudelingen"[680].  “Liutolfus laicus de Reginsberch et eius...coniunx Judintha cum filio eorum Liutolfo” donated property “Vare” to Kloster Einsiedeln by charter dated 22 Jan 1130, witnessed by “...Otto de Regensberg...[681].  “Domina B. de Rinhart” donated property to Kloster Allerheiligen Schaffhausen by charter dated 1135, witnessed by “...Otto de Reginsberc...[682]

 

 

1.         --- von Regensberg .  Nabholz assumed that this person was Lütold [III] who is named above[683].  However, so little definite information is known about the chronology of the early members of the Regensberg family that it is unwise to assert that this is the only possible case.  m as her first husband, ---.  She married secondly ---.  Her two marriages are confirmed by the charter dated 6 May 1219 under which [her son, by her second marriage] “Eberhardus...Salzepurgensis archiepiscopus” confirmed the donation of property in “Rinte” to “fratribus Premonstratensis” made by [her son by her first marriage] “dominus Liutoldus de Regensberch frater noster couterinus” by charter dated 6 May 1219[684].  Nabholz suggested that Eberhard Archbishop of Salzburg was the full brother of Lütold [IV], indicating that a source which specifies that he was “von Truchsess” (and therefore a member of the Waldburg family) has been misinterpreted[685].  If his suggestion is correct, the necessity for including “couterinus” in the document is unclear.  Examples have been observed of sources in which full brothers have described themselves as “uterine” brothers, but they are unusual.  It is more frequent that the term indicates birth from the same mother by different fathers.  The accuracy of the “Truchsess” source is a separate question, Nabholz raising reasonable doubts about the family origin of the archbishop’s supposed father.  One child: 

a)         LÜTOLD [IV] von Regensberg (-[Palestine] [13 Jan 1217/6 May 1219]).  “Comes Liutoldus de Reginsberc et filius suus eiusdem nominis” confirmed an earlier donation to Zürich St. Maria, but now divided the benefit with another religious institution, by charter dated 16 Apr 1209[686].  A charter dated 13 Jan 1217 confirms that “dominus Liutoldus de Reginsberch et filius suus eiusdem nominis” donated “predium in Rinte” to “Premonstratensium ordinem” to found a monastery[687].  The location and timing of the death of Lütold [IV] are indicated by the charter dated 6 May 1219 under which [his half-brother] “Eberhardus...Salzepurgensis archiepiscopus” confirmed the donation of property in “Rinte” to “fratribus Premonstratensis” made by “dominus Liutoldus de Regensberch frater noster couterinus”, noting that the latter had died “in transmarinis partibus” and was succeeded by “Liutoldus de Regensberch filius eius[688]m ---.  The primary source which confirms the identity of Lütold’s wife beyond doubt has not been identified.  It is possible that she was --- von Kirburg, daughter of Hartmann [III] Graf von Dillingen & his wife Richenza von Lenzburg.  An indication of a relationship between the Dillingen/Kiburg and Regensberg families is provided by the charter dated [24 Sep/31 Dec] 1253 under which “H[artmannus] comes senior de Kiburc” [identified as Hartmann [III] Graf von Kiburg] granted property “in Tunreton et in Altorf” to “nepotem meum L. beate memorie seniorem de Regensperc et filios suos” [identified as Lutold [V] von Regensberg][689].  From a chronological point of view, it appears impossible for Lutold [V] to have been the nephew of Hartmann [III].  It is likely therefore that the connection was through an earlier generation and that “nepotem” in this document should be interpreted in an extended sense.  Nabholz indicates that “G. v. Wyss” (no precise citation reference) suggested that the wife of Lutold [IV] was “eine Vatersschwester Hartmanns des Aeltern[690].  This appears to be only one of many possible family relationships so the suggestion cannot be taken as certain.  Lütold [IV] & his wife had one child: 

i)          LÜTOLD [V] von Regensberg (-[27 Oct 1246/4 Jan 1250]).  “Comes Liutoldus de Reginsberc et filius suus eiusdem nominis” confirmed an earlier donation to Zürich St. Maria, but now divided the benefit with another religious institution, by charter dated 16 Apr 1209[691]

LÜTOLD [V] von Regensberg, son of LÜTOLD [IV] von Regensberg & his wife --- (-[27 Oct 1246/4 Jan 1250]).  “Comes Liutoldus de Reginsberc et filius suus eiusdem nominis” confirmed an earlier donation to Zürich St. Maria, but now divided the benefit with another religious institution, by charter dated 16 Apr 1209[692].  A charter dated 13 Jan 1217 confirms that “dominus Liutoldus de Reginsberch et filius suus eiusdem nominis” donated “predium in Rinte” to “Premonstratensium ordinem” to found a monastery[693].  “Liutoldus de Reginsberc” confirmed the donation of “predium in Rinte” to “fratribus Premonstratensis”, made by “pater meus Liutoldus”, by charter dated 6 May 1219[694].  “Liutoldus de Reginsperk” donated “predium meum in Segrebre” to Kloster Ruti, with the consent of “uxoris mee Berhte ac liberorum nostrorum”, by charter dated 1219 (presumably after 6 May)[695].  “Harthmannus comes senior de Chibuch” [Hartmann [III] Graf von Kiburg] confirmed that “viri nobiles Lutoldus senior de Reginsperch et Lutoldus miles filius eius” had sold property to Kloster Kreuzlingen, with the consent of “Bertha uxore senioris...filii senioris et fratres iunioris tres...Lutoldus, Eberhardus, Ulricus”, by charter dated 15 Feb 1244[696].  “Lutoldus senior de Reginsberg...et uxor mea Berchta” sold “domum nostram in Turego...in Littore” to “monasterio Turicensi...domine Judente...abbatisse”, with the consent of “Ul. filio nostro...etiam filio nostro Lutoldo”, by charter dated 27 Oct 1246[697].  He died before 4 Jan 1250, the date of a charter in which his two sons are named as “domin[i]” (see below).  “H[artmannus] comes senior de Kiburc” granted property “in Tunreton et in Altorf” to “nepotem meum L. beate memorie seniorem de Regensperc et filios suos” [identified as Lutold [V] von Regensberg] by charter dated to [24 Sep/31 Dec] 1253[698]

Europäische Stammtafeln records Gerold [I] as "Graf im Mittelrheingebiet", implying a Franconian origin.  However, a strong connection with Swabia is indicated by the places where his sons were recorded as counts.

d)         HILDEGARD (758-Thionville, Moselle 30 Apr 783, bur Metz, église abbatiale de Saint-Arnoul).  Einhard refers to Hildegard as "de gente Suavorum"[773].  Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names her "Hildigardam quæ erat de cognatione Gotefridi ducis Alamannorum" and specifies that she was the daughter of Imma[774].  The Annales Laurissenses record the death "783 pridie Kal Mai" of "Hildegardis regina" and her burial "iuxta urbem Mettensem in basilica apostolorum et beati Arnulfi"[775].  She died from the after effects of childbirth, according to the epitaph of her daughter Hildegarde[776].  Paulus Diaconus wrote an epitaph to "Hildegardis regina"[777]m (Aix-la-Chapelle 771 before 30 Apr) as his second wife, CHARLES I King of the Franks, son of PEPIN "le Bref" King of the Franks & his wife Bertrada [Berta] "au Grand Pied" ([near Aix-la-Chapelle] 2 Apr [747/48]-Aix-la-Chapelle 28 Jan 814, bur Aix-la-Chapelle, Chapelle Sainte-Marie).  He was crowned CHARLES I “Charlemagne” Emperor of the Romans in 800. 

e)         ADRIAN .  "Adrianus filius Geroldi" donated property "in pago Worm. in Flannenheimire marca…" to Kloster Lorsch, for the soul of "Erbionis germani mei", by charter dated 11 Jul 793[778]same person as…?  ADRIAN (-before 10 Nov 821).  No proof has so far been found which confirms this co-identity.  However, the name Adrianus was unusual at that time which indicates that it may be correct.  m WALDRADA, daughter of --- (-after 15 Feb 824).  "Uualtrat relicta Adriani" donated property "in castello Pingi in pago Wormacense" to Fulda by charter dated 10 Nov 821 with the consent of "Votoni comitis"[779].  "Uualtrat et Voto" donated property "in pago Wormacense in castello Pingna" to Fulda by charter dated 15 Feb 824, subscribed by "Albrichi comitis"[780].  Adrianus & his wife had two children: 

i)          ODO (-after 15 Feb 824).  "Uualtrat relicta Adriani" donated property "in castello Pingi in pago Wormacense" to Fulda by charter dated 10 Nov 821 with the consent of "Votoni comitis"[781].  "Uualtrat et Voto" donated property "in pago Wormacense in castello Pingna" to Fulda by charter dated 15 Feb 824[782].  Neither of these charters states that Odo was the son of Waldrada, but this is a fair assumption.  [same person as …?  EUDES [Odo] (-killed in battle Jun 834).  Comte d´Orléans.  Levillain identifies Odo, son of Waldrada, with Eudes Comte d'Orléans[783].  This seems unlikely to be correct as the name Guillaume/Wilhelm (brother of Eudes Comte d´Orléans) does not appear at all in the Udalrichinger family.] 

[-        CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY.] 

ii)         WILTRUD .  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.  "Wialdruth et Guntram" donated property "in Buosinesheim" to Kloster Lorsch for the soul of "Rutperti comitis quondam viri mei" by charter dated 19 Feb 834[784]m ([808]) ROBERT [III] Graf im Wormsgau, son of --- (-before 19 Feb 834).  "Karolus…augustus…imperator Romanum…rex Francorum et Langobardorum" issued a judgment by charter dated 8 Mar 812 which names "fidelibus nostri: Gerulfus, Guntlandus, Hedo, Armannus, Hamricus, Sicardus, Rotbertus comitibus…Amalricus comiti palatii nostro"[785]

f)          ERBIO (-before 11 Jul 793).  "Adrianus filius Geroldi" donated property "in pago Worm. in Flannenheimire marca…" to Kloster Lorsch, for the soul of "Erbionis germani mei", by charter dated 11 Jul 793[786]

 

 

1.         --- .  [m --- of the Franks, daughter of Emperor LOUIS I & his first wife Ermengard --- ([820/25]-).  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records that "rex Francorum qui et imperator Romanorum" gave his sister in marriage to "vir nobilissimo genere decoratus", that the couple had two sons to whom their uncle gave "in Alemannia loca…Potamum et Brigantium, Ubirlingin et Buochorn, Ahihusin et Turingen atque Heistirgou, Wintirture…et in Retia Curiensi Mesouch", and that one of the sons returned to France while the other "Oudalricus" retained all the property in Alamannia[787].  The editor of the MGH SS compilation dates this source to the mid-12th century[788].  The information has not been corroborated in any earlier primary source, although it is not known what prior documentation may have been available to the compiler of the Casus.  There are several other difficulties with this marriage which suggest that the report in the Casus should be treated with caution.  If the information is accurate, it is likely that the bride was a full sister of King Charles, although if this is correct her absence from contemporary documentation is surprising.  If she had been Charles's half-sister, it is difficult to see how Charles would have had much influence on her marriage, which would have been arranged by one of her full brothers.  In any case, it is unlikely that Emperor Louis's first wife would have had further children after [812/15] at the latest, given the birth of her eldest son in 795.  If that estimated birth date is correct, then it is more likely that this daughter's marriage would have been arranged by her father Emperor Louis before his death in 840.  Another problem is the potential consanguinity between the parties.  Although the precise relationship between the couple's son Udalrich [III] and the earlier Udalrichinger cannot be established from available documentation, it is probable that he was closely related to Hildegard, first wife of Emperor Charles I, who was the paternal grandmother of Emperor Louis's children.  Lastly, Udalrich [III] is recorded in charters dated 847 and 854, suggesting a birth date in the 820s assuming that he was adult at the time, which is inconsistent with Charles II "le Chauve" (born in 823) having arranged his parents' marriage.]  Two children: 

a)         son .  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records that one of the nephews of Emperor Louis I returned to France[789]

b)         UDALRICH [III] ([820/25]-13 Apr before [896/900]).  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records that Emperor Louis I gave his nephews "in Alemannia loca…Potamum et Brigantium, Ubirlingin et Buochorn, Ahihusin et Turingen atque Heistirgou, Wintirture…et in Retia Curiensi Mesouch", "Oudalricus" retaining all the property in Alamannia[790].  There is no proof of a connection with the preceding family of Graf Gerold and his wife Imma, but this is suggested by Udalrich's name and the similar geographical area of activity.  "…Odelrih…" is among those listed as present in the charter dated 12 Oct 847 under which King Ludwig granted property to "Pribina"[791].  A charter of Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks dated 22 Jul 854 records the settlement of a dispute between Kloster St Gallen and the bishop of Konstanz related to property "…in comitatu Odalrici comiti in pagello Goldineshuntare in villa Heriprahttinga"[792].  Ludwig "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks gave instructions to "Atoni et Odalricho ceterisque comitibus nostris in Alamannia" relating to Kloster St Gallen in an undated charter, inserted in the compilation with charters dated [854/55][793].  Charters dated 25 Mar 860, 3 Oct 861 (property "in pago Argengauue"), 15 May 866, 1 Jul 869, Jun 874, Oct 878, Apr 879, 1 May 879 (jointly with "Adalberto comitis"), Jun 882, 1 May 885 recording donations to St Gallen are dated to "sub Uadalricho comite"[794].  Ludwig "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks donated property "res…nostris in comitatu Odalrici…Mathasco et…Sauariæ" to Kloster Mattsee by charter dated 8 May 860[795].  Ludwig "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks donated property "Sabariam civitatem et Peinihhan, sicut Odolricus comes noster" to Salzburg church by charter dated 28 Nov 860[796].  Ludwig "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks granted property to Podoholt and his brother Folcherat naming "nepos noster Odolricus comes et Hildeboldus missus noster" in a charter dated 17 Aug 867 relating to Argengau[797].  Ludwig "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks granted property "res in ducatu Alamannico in pago Linzgoue in comitatu Odelrici comitis in villa…Eilinga" to "clericus Baldinc" by charter dated 3 Oct 875[798].  Graf on the north coast of Bodensee 885/90.  Graf im Argengau 885/86.  Graf im Linzgau 889.  "Arnolfus…rex" granted property "in pago pago Quinzingouue in comitatu Hunolfi" to Kloster St Emmeran by charter dated 21 Mar 890 which names "Engildeo comes, Odalrich comes, Meginhart comes, Chunipercht comes, Kerolt comes, Rumolt comes, Geio comes"[799].  "Arnolfus…rex" confirmed an exchange of property between the monks of Ottobeuren "per manum advocati eorum…Reginhoh" and "fidelis Yringis" with the consent of "Odalrici comitis" by charter dated 26 Jun 890[800].  "Arnolfus…rex" commanded "Adalberto, Perehtolto, Purgharto, Vodalrico et cunctis regni istius primatibus" to grant rights to Kloster St Gallen by an undated charter, placed in the compilation among charters dated [891/92][801].  The necrology of St Gall records the death "Id Apr" of "Uodalrici comitis regum nepotis"[802]m ---.  The name of Udalrich's wife is not known.  Graf Udalrich [III] & his wife had one child:

i)          UDALRICH [IV] (-[27 Mar, 30 Sep or 8 Oct] ----, [27 Sep 894/26 May 896-900]).  He is named "Udalrich junior" in 894.  Graf on the north coast of Bodensee 885/94.  Graf im Argengau 885 and 894.  Graf im Linzgau und Rheingau 891.  The necrology of St Gall records the death "VI Kal Apr" of "Uodalrici benigni comitis", "II Kal Oct" of "Uodalrici comitis" and "VIII Id Nov" of "Uodalrici benigni comitis"[803], one of which could refer to Udalrich [IV] and Udalrich [V].  m PEREHTHEIDE, daughter of ---.  886/90.  "Arnolfus…rex" confiscated all property "quas in Alamannia vel Alsatia" of "Odalricum…cum Perehtheda uxore sua" and donated it to Hatto Abbot of Reichenau by charter dated 890[804].  Graf Udalrich [IV] & his wife had three children: 

(a)       GEROLD .  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  886. 

(b)       IRMINDRUD .  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.  Abbess at Aadorf 886/94.

1.         UDALRICH [V] (-[27 Mar, 30 Sep or 8 Sep] 924).  There is no proof of a connection with the preceding families but this is suggested by his name and the similar geographical area of activity.  Charters dated 10 May 905 and 24 Feb 909 recording donations to St Gallen are dated to "sub comite Odalrico"[805].  "Chuonradus…rex" granted property "in loco Munichinga in pago Chlethgeuue" to Kloster St Gallen by charter dated 11 Mar 912 at the request of "comitum quoque Erchangarii et Chuonradi, Odalrici, Hugonis"[806].  "Chuonradus…rex" made donations by charter dated 5 Mar 912 with the consent of "fidelium nostrorum comitum vero Sigihardi, Arnolfi, Erchangarii, Odalrici, Perchtoldi, Chuonradi, Herimanni, Luitfredi atque Iringi"[807].  "Chuonradus…rex" granted property "in pago Tuhrlamensi in comitatu Odalrici…in loco Helfotesuuilare" to Bishop Salomon by charter dated 3 Oct 912[808].  "Chuonradus…rex" confirmed privileges to Kloster Murbach by charter dated 12 Mar 913 with the consent of "fidelium nostrorum…Erchangarii, Chuonradi, Hugonis, Ottonis, Heinrici, Bopponis, Udalrici, Eberhardi"[809].  "Oudalrich quidam comes de Karoli prosapia" is named in the Chronicle of St Gallen, which also names his wife and their two sons[810].  The Annales Necrologici Fuldenses record the death "924" of "Uodalrih com"[811].  The necrology of St Gall records the death "VI Kal Apr" of "Uodalrici benigni comitis", "II Kal Oct" of "Uodalrici comitis" and "VIII Id Nov" of "Uodalrici benigni comitis"[812], one of which could refer to Udalrich [IV] and Udalrich [V].  m WUNDELGART, daughter of EKKEHARD [I] & his wife --- ([885/90]-).  Her birth date range is estimated from the likely birth date range of her supposed mother, assuming that the origin shown here is correct, and the likely ages of her children.  "Wundilgartam Henrici regis de filia neptim" is named in the Chronicle of St Gall, which also names her husband[813].  The editor's commentary in the printed text interprets this as "granddaughter of Heinrich I King of Germany", but this is impossible chronologically assuming the approximate death date of Wundelgart's husband is correct.  Assuming there is any truth in the text, it is more likely that Wundelgart was the niece of King Heinrich by his sister, although this is far from certain considering the broad range of interpretation possible for the word "neptis".  The same source in a later passage names "Ekkehardo…diacono et Purchardo puero post abate consobrinis suis"[814].  As Wundelgart was the mother of Abbot Burkhard, this gives the essential clue to her origin.  Graf Udalrich [V] & his wife had [six or more] children: 

a)         UDALRICH [VI] [Outzo] (-25 Aug [950/57], bur Lindau Frauenkloster).  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Outzo comes qui habitabat apud Brigantium" as a descendant (“ex huius itaque semine”) of "Oudalricus" (see above)[815].  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Graf im Bregenz.

b)         BURCHARD (-9 Aug 975).  The Casuum Sancti Galli, Continuatio I, Ekkehardo IV names "Ekkehardo…diacono et Purchardo puero post abate consobrinis suis"[816].  The Casuum Sancti Galli, Continuatio I, Ekkehardo IV refers to Abbot Burkhard as "nepotem meum", referring to Emperor Otto I[817].  Abbot of St Gallen494 958, resigned 971[818].  The necrology of St Gallen records the death "V Id Aug" of "Purchardi…abbatis"[819]

c)         ADALHARD .  "Adalhardum qui Gallo Altstetin post tradidit" is named as son of "Oudalrich and Wundilgartem" in the Chronicle of St Gallen[820].  The commentary calls him "Adalhart comes Buchhorni" and also names his son and brother[821].  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records that "Adilhardus comes" donated property to "nepoti suo beato Gebehardo epicopo"[822].  Graf im Thurgau 920/[970].  m ---.  The name of Adalhard's wife is not known.  Graf Adalhard & his wife had one child: 

i)          RICHERE .  The Casuum Sancti Galli, Continuatio I, Ekkehardo IV names "camerarius…suus Richere, fratris quidem filius", referring to Burkhard abbot of St Gallen[823].  Monk at St Gallen, and camerarius, son of Adalhard494

d)         WITO . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.   913. 

e)         daughters .  The Chronicle of St Gallen refers to unnamed daughters of "Oudalrich et Wundilgartem"[824]

 

 

UDALRICH [VI] [Outzo], son of Graf UDALRICH [V] & his wife Wundelgart --- (-25 Aug [950/57], bur Lindau Frauenkloster).  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Outzo comes qui habitabat apud Brigantium" as a descendant (“ex huius itaque semine”) of "Oudalricus" (see above)[825].  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Graf im Bregenz.  Graf in Rätien:  "Heinricus…rex" granted property "Luminius in pago Curiensi in comitatu Udalrici comitis" to Waldo Bishop of Chur by charter dated 3 Nov 926[826].  "Otto…rex" confirmed the rights and privileges of Kloster Pfävers including property "in pago Retia…in comitatu Odalrrici comitis" by charter dated 9 Feb 950[827]

m DIEPURGA, daughter of --- (-9 Aug 946 or 949).  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records that "Outzo comes qui habitabat apud Brigantium" married "Diepirgam"[828].  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis specifies that the wife of "Outzo comes" died when giving birth to Gebhard[829]

Graf Udalrich [VI] & his wife had five children: 

1.         UDALRICH [VII] (-16 Mar 973).  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Oudalricum alterum Marquardum tercium Liutfridum quartum Gebehardum" as the four sons of "Outzo comes", specifying that Udalrich fought in the war of Emperor Otto I against the Hungarians, founded "Lindaugense monasterium" where he was buried and left posterity "apud Brigantium"[830].  Graf 955.  The Annales Sangallenses record the deaths in 973 of "Udalricus comes et Ekkehardus monachus"[831].  The necrology of Petrishusen records the death "XVII Kal Apr" of "Uodolricus com frater s Gebehardi"[832]

-        GRAFEN von BREGENZ

2.         MARQUARD .  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Oudalricum alterum Marquardum tercium Liutfridum quartum Gebehardum" as the four sons of "Outzo comes", specifying that Marquard was "comes effectus, in amicitia Ottonis imperatoris plurimum potuit"[833]

3.         LIUTFRIED .  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Oudalricum alterum Marquardum tercium Liutfridum quartum Gebehardum" as the four sons of "Outzo comes", specifying that Liutfried received Winterthur in the inheritance of his father[834]m --- .  The name of Liutfried's wife is not known.  Liutfried & his wife had one child: 

a)         ADALBERT [II] (-8 Sep [1030]).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  "Pirctelo…cum manu fratris mei Gebehardi" donated property to Sulzburg monastery "in pago Prisicheuue in comitatu Adalberoni comitis", and granted the monastery to the church of Basel, by charter dated 28 Mar 1008, witnessed by "Adalbero comes, Beretholt comes, Ruodolf comes…"[835].  The necrology of Neresheim records the death "VI Id Sep" of "Adalbertus comes de Bregantia, avus com Adelhaidis fundatricis nostra"[836]m --- .  The name of Adalbert's wife is not known.  Graf Adalbert [II] & his wife had three children:

i)          ADALBERT [III] (-killed in battle Civitate, Apulia 13 Jun 1053).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Adilbertum…[et] Adilheidis" as son and daughter of Liutfried & his wife, specifying that Adilbert went to Apulia with Pope Leo[837], but this appears to skip a generation in light of the necrology entry for Adalbert's father Adalbert (see above).  Europäische Stammtafeln shows the brothers Adalbert, Liutfried and Hermann as possible sons of Werner [I] Graf [von Gröningen][838] but this is not consistent with the other sources which refer to Adalbert, his father and daughter.  A list of donations to Einsiedeln records that “Adelbertus de Winterthur frater...Hermanni abbatis” donated “Kempten..in Richenbach....” for “Luitfrido fratre suo...in Boëmannico bello occisus[839].  The necrology of Neresheim records the death "XIV Kal Jul" of "Adalbertus comes de Bregantia, pater com Adelhardis fundatricis nostræ"[840]m --- .  The name of Adalbert's wife is not known.  Graf Adalbert [III] & his wife had three children:

(a)       ADELHEID (1053 or before-).  The necrology of Neresheim records the death "XIV Kal Jul" of "Adalbertus comes de Bregantia, pater com Adelhardis fundatricis nostræ"[841], Adelheid's husband being recorded in the same source as founder of Kloster Neresheim.  Alternatively, the Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Adilbertum…[et] Adilheidis" as son and daughter of Liutfried & his wife, specifying that Adelheid married "comes Hartmannus senior de Dilinga"[842].  This parentage for Adelheid is chronologically impossible without two or three intervening generations, assuming that Liutfried was the son of Udalrich [VI] Outzo as shown above.  Adelheid and her husband were buried in Kloster Neresheim according to a monumental inscription which reads "AD 1121 obiit Hartmannus fundator noster, comes de Dillingen, et uxor eius de Kyburg Adelhaid"[843].  This suggests that Adelheid was the heiress of Kiburg which, if correct, was transmitted into the family of the Grafen von Dillingen through her marriage.  m HARTMANN [I] Graf von Dillingen, son of HUPOLD [III] Graf [von Dillingen] & his wife Adelheid von Gerhausen (-16 Apr 1120, bur Neresheim). 

ii)         LIUTFRIED (-killed in battle 23 Aug 1040).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  A list of donations to Einsiedeln records that “Adelbertus de Winterthur frater...Hermanni abbatis” donated “Kempten..in Richenbach....” for “Luitfrido fratre suo...in Boëmannico bello occisus[844]Europäische Stammtafeln shows the brothers Adalbert, Liutfried and Hermann as possible sons of Werner [I] Graf [von Gröningen][845].  This is not consistent with the other sources which refer to Adalbert, his father and daughter, although no direct reference has been found either to Liutfried or Hermann. 

iii)        HERMANN (-8 Apr 1065).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Abbot of Einsiedeln 1051.  A list of donations to Einsiedeln records that “Adelbertus de Winterthur frater...Hermanni abbatis” donated “Kempten..in Richenbach....” for “Luitfrido fratre suo...in Boëmannico bello occisus[846]Europäische Stammtafeln shows the brothers Adalbert, Liutfried and Hermann as possible sons of Werner [I] Graf [von Gröningen][847].  This is not consistent with the other sources which refer to Adalbert, his father and daughter, although no direct reference has been found either to Liutfried or Hermann. 

4.         GEBHARD (9 Aug 946 or 949-Konstanz 27 Aug 995, bur Petershausen).  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Oudalricum alterum Marquardum tercium Liutfridum quartum Gebehardum" as the four sons of "Outzo comes", specifying that his mother died giving birth to Gebhard who became a canon at Konstanz, later Bishop of Konstanz[848].  He founded Kloster Petershausen in 983[849].  Bishop of Konstanz 979. 

 

 

 

B.      GRAFEN von KIBURG

 

 

The Grafen von Kiburg inherited the lands of the Zähringer family located in Burgundy and Switzerland on the death of Berthold IV Herzog von Zähringen in 1218.  The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of members of these families have not yet been identified, unless otherwise stated below.

ULRICH von Dillingen und Kiburg, son of HARTMANN [III] Graf von Dillingen und Kiburg & his wife Richenza von Lenzburg (-1227, bur Schänis)Graf von Kiburg.  "...Albertus et Ulricus comites de Chiburch…" witnessed the charter dated 1186 under which Friedrich Duke of Swabia confirmed property of Kloster Salem[852].  Crusader 1190.  Vogt von Schänis, Beromünster und Glarus 1212.  "…Ulricus comes de Kiburc et filii eius Wernerus et Hardemannu…" witnessed a charter of Friedrich II King of Germany dated 31 Mar 1213[853]

m ANNA von Zähringen, daughter of BERTHOLD IV Herzog von Zähringen & his first wife Heilwig [von Froburg] (-after 1226).  The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "ducem Bertoldum…et duas sorores" as children of "ducem Bertoldum" & his wife, specifying that the younger daughter was "comitissa Kiburgensis" and had many children[854].  This is confirmed by the charter dated 1226 under which "Haimonem dominum de Fucignie" reached an agreement with the bishop of Lausanne concerning the advocacy of the church of Lausanne, which Aimon claimed had been granted by "comitibus de Ciburc", which names "comitibus de Kibor Vuernerio et Armanno…quia filii erant sororis Bertoldi ducis Faringie"[855]

Graf Ulrich & his wife had six children:

i)          ULRICH von Klingen (-after 2 Sep 1256).  “Waltherus nobilis de Klingen” donated property “in valle Werra” to Huseren convent, with the consent of “Sophie uxoris mee et Ulrici filii mei et quatuor filiarum mearum Agnetis, Verene, Hertzelande et Katharine ac fratris mei Ulrici Waltheri”, by charter dated 2 Sep 1256[966]

ii)         AGNES von Klingen (-after 2 Sep 1256).  “Waltherus nobilis de Klingen” donated property “in valle Werra” to Huseren convent, with the consent of “Sophie uxoris mee et Ulrici filii mei et quatuor filiarum mearum Agnetis, Verene, Hertzelande et Katharine ac fratris mei Ulrici Waltheri”, by charter dated 2 Sep 1256[967]

iii)        VERENA von Klingen (-[25 Nov 1310/27 Jul 1314]).  “Waltherus nobilis de Klingen” donated property “in valle Werra” to Huseren convent, with the consent of “Sophie uxoris mee et Ulrici filii mei et quatuor filiarum mearum Agnetis, Verene, Hertzelande et Katharine ac fratris mei Ulrici Waltheri”, by charter dated 2 Sep 1256[968].  Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 10 Apr 1269 under which [her father] Walter von Klingen sold serfs to St. Blasien, sealed by “viri nobilis Heinrici comitis de Veringen generi nostri cum omnes filie nostre[969].  “Grave Hainrich von Veringen” renounced rights “in Clinginowe”, held by “Verene min Husvrowe...ir vatir”, by charter dated 1269[970].  "Waltherus nobilis de Klingen" sold properties to “Mangoldo sutori civi in Loufenberch”, with the consent of “uxoris nostræ Sophiæ quam filiarum nostrarum dominæ Verneæ comitissæ de Veringen, dominarum Herzlandæ et Katerinæ dominarum de Liechtenberch...et Claræ”, by charter dated 9 May 1270[971]Verena diu grevin von Veringen” confirmed property to “ihre Tochter Anna” after her death by charter dated 25 Nov 1310[972].  She is named as deceased in the 27 Jul 1314 charter of her daughter Anna.  m (before 10 Apr 1270) HEINRICH Graf von Veringen, son of WOLFRAD [III] Graf von Veringen & his wife Anna --- (-after 15 Mar 1282). 

iv)       HERZLAUDE von Klingen (-after 9 May 1270).  “Waltherus nobilis de Klingen” donated property “in valle Werra” to Huseren convent, with the consent of “Sophie uxoris mee et Ulrici filii mei et quatuor filiarum mearum Agnetis, Verene, Hertzelande et Katharine ac fratris mei Ulrici Waltheri”, by charter dated 2 Sep 1256[973].  The following document shows that Herzlaude married a member of the Lichtenberg family: "Waltherus nobilis de Klingen" sold properties to “Mangoldo sutori civi in Loufenberch”, with the consent of “uxoris nostræ Sophiæ quam filiarum nostrarum dominæ Verneæ comitissæ de Veringen, dominarum Herzlandæ et Katerinæ dominarum de Liechtenberch...et Claræ”, by charter dated 9 May 1270[974].  No document has been found which names her husband.  There appear to be two possibilities.  Firstly, Johann [I] “der Aeltere” von Lichtenberg: his possible brother Rudolf (see above) married Herzlaude’s sister Katharina von Klingen.  A double marriage between the two brothers and two sisters seems possible.  If that is correct, Herzlaude would have been Johann [I]’s first wife.  One problem with this case is that Johann [I] appears to have been his father’s second son, in which case he is more likely to have married the younger of Walter von Klingen’s daughters.  Secondly, Ludwig von Lichtenberg, first cousin of Johann [I]: Ludwig is last named in a source dated 7 Jun 1274.  No other indication has been found of his possible marriage, but his early death (and maybe the early death of his wife) may explain the absence of further relevant documentation concerning Herzlaude’s husband.  A double marriage between first cousins and the Klingen sisters also appears to be a likely possibility.  Herzlaude may have died before 25 Mar 1272 (O.S.?), the date of a charter which refers to arrangements made at the time of her sister Katharina’s marriage (see below).  m (before 9 May 1270) EITHER [as his first wife, JOHANN [I] “der Aeltere” Herr von Lichtenberg, son of LUDWIG [II] Herr von Lichtenberg & his wife Elisabeth von Baden (-22 Aug 1315, bur Buchsweiler)] OR [LUDWIG von Lichtenberg, son of HEINRICH [II] von Lichtenberg & his wife Elisabeth --- (-after 7 Jun 1274)]. 

v)        KATHARINA von Klingen (-1296).  “Waltherus nobilis de Klingen” donated property “in valle Werra” to Huseren convent, with the consent of “Sophie uxoris mee et Ulrici filii mei et quatuor filiarum mearum Agnetis, Verene, Hertzelande et Katharine ac fratris mei Ulrici Waltheri”, by charter dated 2 Sep 1256[975].  "Waltherus nobilis de Klingen" sold properties to “Mangoldo sutori civi in Loufenberch”, with the consent of “uxoris nostræ Sophiæ quam filiarum nostrarum dominæ Verneæ comitissæ de Veringen, dominarum Herzlandæ et Katerinæ dominarum de Liechtenberch...et Claræ”, by charter dated 9 May 1270[976].  Her first marriage is suggested by the following document: a charter dated 25 Mar 1272 (O.S.?) records an agreement between Heinrich Bishop of Strasbourg and “Ludowicum, Rudolfum de Liechtenberg advocatos civitatis Argent. et vener. virum dom. cantorem ecclesie Argent. ipsorum et reliquorum...filiorum...Heinrici et Ludewici quondam de Liechtenberg nomine”, relating to a promise made by “Waltherus felicis recordationis quondam episcopus Argent.” to “eisdem dnis de Liechtenberg ad. dom. Katharinam maritandam”, and naming “dom. Walthero nobili viro de Clingen[977].  Her second marriage is confirmed by the following document: "Ul de Ulingen" renounced “feodo...in Nider-Endingen”, held from “quondam dominus meus Wa. nobilis de Klingen avus vester”, in favour of “Ul...comiti juniori de Phirt” by charter dated 21 Mar 1298[978].  Heinrich Bishop of Basel and "Grave Thiebalt von Phirrete" record various sales of property, naming “Grevin Vron Katherinen sine...vrowen”, by charter dated 9 Mar 1278[979]m firstly (before 9 May 1270) RUDOLF von Lichtenberg, son of [LUDWIG [II] Herr von Lichtenberg & his wife Elisabeth von Baden] (-[Mar/Oct] 1273).  m secondly (before Oct 1273) as his first wife, THIEBAUT Comte de Ferrette, son of ULRIC [II] Comte de Ferrette [Pfirt] & his second wife Agnes de Vergy (-Basel [4 Dec 1310/7 Feb 1311]). 

vi)       KLARA von Klingen ([after 2 Sep 1256]-before 10 Jun 1291, bur Kloster Klingental).  Klara was presumably born after her father’s 2 Sep 1256 charter, quoted above, in which she is not named.  "Waltherus nobilis de Klingen" sold properties to “Mangoldo sutori civi in Loufenberch”, with the consent of “uxoris nostræ Sophiæ quam filiarum nostrarum dominæ Verneæ comitissæ de Veringen, dominarum Herzlandæ et Katerinæ dominarum de Liechtenberch...et Claræ”, by charter dated 9 May 1270[980].  The primary source which confirms her marriage has not been identified.  m (before 5 Jan 1278) as his first wife, HESSO I Markgraf von Baden, son of RUDOLF I Markgraf von Baden & his wife Kunigunde von Eberstein (-13 Feb [1296/97]). 

c)         ULRICH von Klingen (-after Mar 1280).  “Itta nobilis de Klingen uxor Ulrici nobilis de Klingen” donated property inherited from her father “in parrochia de Bukhein” to the Teutonic Knights at Beuken, with the consent of her husband and “ihrer Söhne Waltheri, Ulrici et Ulrici, qui etiam Waltherus dicitur”, by charter dated 27 Jun 1247[981].  "Nobiles Walterus et Ulricus dicti de Chlingen...cum fratre nostro Ulrich Waltero...puerolo" granted privileges to the Knights Hospitallers at Lüggern by charter dated Mar 1251, confirmed 22 Oct 1253 by “Waltherum et dictum fratrem meum Ulricum” with the consent of “fratris mei Rlrich Walteri pueri et...Sophiæ uxoris meæ[982].  "Fratres Waltherus et Ulricus nec non Ulricus Waltherus nobiles de Clingen" donated vines “apud Brugge” to Lüggern hospital by charter dated 18 Mar 1254, in the presence of “H. nepote nostro de Chrenkingen...[983].  “Waltherus nobilis de Klingen” donated property “in valle Werra” to Huseren convent, with the consent of “Sophie uxoris mee et Ulrici filii mei et quatuor filiarum mearum Agnetis, Verene, Hertzelande et Katharine ac fratris mei Ulrici Waltheri”, by charter dated 2 Sep 1256, witnessed by “...Ulricus frater meus de Klingen...[984].  “Walther der eltest, hr.

Ulrich gebrüdere von Clingen ob Stein und Ikr Ulrich von Clingen genannt von Twiel” reached agreement with Stein monastery by charter dated 19 Aug 1267[985].  “Waltherus nobilis vir de Klingen quondam dominus in Klingenowe” donated propery to Sion St Wilhelm, in the presence of “Uolrici fratris nostri [...Uol. de Klingen dominus castri in Nuwenberch] quam etiam Uolrici patruelis nostri [...Uol. senior de Klingen advocatus monasterii in Stain] dominorum de Klingen”, by charter dated Mar 1280[986].  [It is not known to which Ulrich von Klingen the following document relates: Rudolf I King of Germany confirmed that “nobili viro Ulrico de antiquo castro Clingen et suis filiis” had renounced the advocacy of Münsterlingen by charter dated 25 Jan 1291[987].] 

d)         ULRICH WALTER von Klingen (-after 19 Aug 1267).  “Itta nobilis de Klingen uxor Ulrici nobilis de Klingen” donated property inherited from her father “in parrochia de Bukhein” to the Teutonic Knights at Beuken, with the consent of her husband and “ihrer Söhne Waltheri, Ulrici et Ulrici, qui etiam Waltherus dicitur”, by charter dated 27 Jun 1247[988].  "Nobiles Walterus et Ulricus dicti de Chlingen...cum fratre nostro Ulrich Waltero...puerolo" granted privileges to the Knights Hospitallers at Lüggern by charter dated Mar 1251, confirmed 22 Oct 1253 by “Waltherum et dictum fratrem meum Ulricum” with the consent of “fratris mei Rlrich Walteri pueri et...Sophiæ uxoris meæ[989].  "Fratres Waltherus et Ulricus nec non Ulricus Waltherus nobiles de Clingen" donated vines “apud Brugge” to Lüggern hospital by charter dated 18 Mar 1254, in the presence of “H. nepote nostro de Chrenkingen...[990].  “Waltherus nobilis de Klingen” donated property “in valle Werra” to Huseren convent, with the consent of “Sophie uxoris mee et Ulrici filii mei et quatuor filiarum mearum Agnetis, Verene, Hertzelande et Katharine ac fratris mei Ulrici Waltheri”, by charter dated 2 Sep 1256[991].  “Volricus Waltherus nobilis de Clingen” confirmed the donation made by “dns Waltherus carnalis frater suus” to St Blasius by charter dated 29 Sep 1257[992].  “Walther der eltest, hr. Walter Ritter, Ikr. Ulrich gebrüdere von Clingen ob Stein und Ikr Ulrich von Clingen genannt von Twiel” reached agreement with Stein monastery by charter dated 19 Aug 1267[993]

2.         ULRICH von Klingen (-after 19 Aug 1267).  "...Walteri et Ulrici patrui sui de Clinge" witnessed the charter dated 1258 under which “Hartmannus comes de Chiburhe” donated property to “conventui...de Paradiso[994].  “Walther der eltest, hr. Walter Ritter, Ikr. Ulrich gebrüdere von Clingen ob Stein und Ikr Ulrich von Clingen genannt von Twiel” reached agreement with Stein monastery by charter dated 19 Aug 1267[995]m ---.  Ulrich & his wife had [one child]:

1.         ULRICH von Klingen (-[before 7 Oct 1310?]).  “Rudolf Probst und Pfleger zu Chor und Ulrich Bruder Graven von Montfort, und Anna Grävinne von Montfort, Graven Hugen seligen Husfwrawe von Montfort” acknowledged receiving payments from the town of Konstanz, relating to a debt of “unserm Ohan Ulrich von Clingen”, by charter dated 7 Oct 1310[999].  It is unclear from the text whether Ulrich was alive or deceased at the time.  The precise relationship between the Klingen and Montfort families has not been traced. 

 

 

The reference to Stein suggests that the following family was descended from one of the younger brothers of Walter [III] von Klingen, see above. 

 

1.         ULRICH von Hohenklingen ob Stein (-[1362/1366]).  He is named in his son’s 7 Apr 1362 marriage contract.  He is named as deceased in the 15 Nov 1367 charter quoted below, but must have died at least a couple of years before that date as the same document records his widow married to her second husband.  m firstly --- von Bechburg, daughter of ---.  She is named in her son’s 7 Apr 1362 marriage contract.  m secondly as her first husband, CLEMENTIA von Toggenburg, daughter of DIETHELM [X] Graf von Toggenburg & his wife Adelheid von Grießenberg (-after 15 Nov 1367).  She married secondly Heinrich von Hewen.  “Graf Cunrat von Fúrstenberg mit fro Adelhaiten siner...frowen geborn von Griessenberg und ir tochter fro Clementen herr Hainrichs von Hewen...frowen und ir sun iunkherr Diethelm von der Hohenclingen, hern Ulrichs saligen sun von der Hohenclingen” mortgaged certain properties, naming “graf Hainrich sins bruder saligen”, by charter dated 15 Nov 1367[1000].

The primary sources which confirm the relationships between the following persons and Diethelm [I] von Toggenburg have not been identified.  From a chronological point of view only, Folknand and Diethelm [II] could belong to the generation which succeeded Diethelm [I]’s sons, and Diethelm [III] and Diethelm [IV] the two succeeding generations. 

 

1.         FOLKNAND (-killed in battle 1081).  A chronicle of St. Gallen records that "nobili milite Folcnanco" was killed in battle when St. Gallen was attacked by papal and imperial forces, dated to 1081[1007]

-        see below

b)         FRIEDRICH [II] von Toggenburg (-murdered Schloß Rengerswil 12 Dec 1226, bur St Gallen).  The chronicle of Conradi de Fabaria names "duo fratres originem a castro Toggenburg…filii Diethelmi comitis, Diethelmum et Fridericum iuniorem", referring to Friedrich as "neoptolemus in curia Friderici imperatoris iungi" and recording that he was murdered by his older brother[1029].  "Diethalmus de Togginburch comes…cum fratre suo Friderico et matre sua Guota comitissa" donated property to St Gallen by charter dated 29 Mar 1214[1030].  The necrology of St Gall records the death "II Id Dec 1226" of "Friderici comitis de Tokinburc occisi a proprio fratre"[1031]Betrothed ([1226]) to --- von Montfort, daughter of HUGO [I] Graf von Montfort & his wife ---.  The chronicle of Conradi de Fabaria records the betrothal of of "[filium] Diethelmi comitis, Fridericum" and "filiam comitis Hugonis", dated to [1226] from the context[1032]

2.         BERTHOLD von Toggenburg (-8 Sep before 1256).  Konrad Bishop of Konstanz confirmed that “Diethelmus comes senior de Toggenburck ac filius ipsius Diethelmus” had donated property to the Knights of St. John, with the consent of “Diethelmus, Bertoldus, Krafto, Rudolfus filii Diethelmi iunioris comitis”, to the Knights of St. John at Bubikon by charter dated [1 Jan/23 Sep] 1228[1048].  A manuscript records the following deaths: “Diethelmus comes de Togginburc...in conversione Pauli Apostoli...Pertoldus filius...in nativitate beate Marie virginis[1049]

a)         DIETHELM [IX] von Toggenburg (-after 23 Apr 1282).  "Fridericus comes de Toggenburch et Willehelmus frater meus carnalis et Diethelmus et Crafto et Fridericus filii fratris nostri bone memorie Craftonis de Toggenburch" donated property to Kloster St Johann im Turtal by charter dated 27 May 1260[1053]Graf von Toggenburg.  “Diethelmus comes iunior...de Tokkenburg” donated “patronatus...ecclesiarum in Meerwiller et in Tüffenbrunnen” to the hospital of Tobel by charter dated 26 Dec 1276 and “domina Elisabeth mater mea” other property “die Hylarii anni 1276 [O.S.]”[1054].  Rudolf Bishop of Konstanz granted possessions "in Affoltrangen Sanctæ Margarethæ", relinquished by “Diethelmo et Friderico comitibus de Toggenburch fratribus”, to “Magister Heinricus de Vischinum carpentarius” by charter dated 23 Apr 1282[1055]

c)         FRIEDRICH [III] von Toggenburg (-[22 Nov 1303/7 Dec 1305]).  "Fridericus comes de Toggenburch et Willehelmus frater meus carnalis et Diethelmus et Crafto et Fridericus filii fratris nostri bone memorie Craftonis de Toggenburch" donated property to Kloster St Johann im Turtal by charter dated 27 May 1260[1057]Graf von Toggenburg.  Rudolf Bishop of Konstanz granted possessions "in Affoltrangen Sanctæ Margarethæ", relinquished by “Diethelmo et Friderico comitibus de Toggenburch fratribus”, to “Magister Heinricus de Vischinum carpentarius” by charter dated 23 Apr 1282[1058].  “Fridericus de Toggenburk comes...unacum filiis meis Friderico et Kraftone” donated “patronatus...ecclesiarum in Merrviller et in Affeltrangen” to the hospital of Tobel by charter dated 5 Jun 1286[1059].  Friedrich [IV] was named “der Junge” in a charter dated 22 Nov 1303, suggesting that his father was still living[1060].  Friedrich [III] presumably died before 7 Dec 1305, the date of his son’s charter in which his name is unqualified.  m [CLEMENTIA, daughter of --- ([before 1245]-28 Feb 1282).  The primary source which confirms the name of the wife of Friedrich [III] Graf von Toggenburg has not been identified.  Zeller-Werdmüller, noting the absence of sources naming her, suggests that she was named Clementia, citing an epitaph recording the death 1282 “pridie Kal Mar” of “frow Clementa ein Gräfin von Toggenburg” for whom no other Toggenburg husband has been identified.  Concerning her family origin, he suggests that she was Clementia von Werdenberg, daughter of Rudolf [I] von Montfort Graf von Werdenberg & his wife Clementia von Kiburg[1061].  He suggests that this parentage would explain the Papal dispensation required for the marriage of [her grandson] Friedrich [V] Graf von Toggenburg and Kunigunde von Vaz, whose paternal grandfather Walter [IV] von Vaz married the supposed sister of Rudolf [I] von Werdenberg.  The chronology appears favourable for Zeller-Werdmüller’s suggestion, given the likely birth date in [1230/45] of any daughters of Rudolf [I] and the probable marriage date before 31 Dec 1277 of Friedrich [III]’s daughter Margareta.  Another possibility is that Clementia was Friedrich [III]’s mother, which would be chronologically feasible if she was born shortly before [1230].  Friedrich [III] & his wife had [five] children: 

i)          FRIEDRICH [IV] von Toggenburg (-15 Nov [1315]).  “Fridericus de Toggenburk comes...unacum filiis meis Friderico et Kraftone” donated “patronatus...ecclesiarum in Merrviller et in Affeltrangen” to the hospital of Tobel by charter dated 5 Jun 1286[1062]Graf von Toggenburg

iii)        KATHARINA von Toggenburg (-before 1313).  The Manuel généalogique pour servir à l’histoire de la Suisse cites two sources dated 8 May 1325 and 7 Oct 1350 indicating that “Katharina, Schwester des Propstes Kraft” married firstly Eberhard von Spitzenberg and secondly Volmar von Frohburg[1066]m firstly EBERHARD Graf von Spitzenberg, son of --- (-1292 or 1296).  m secondly VOLMAR [IV] Graf von Frohburg, son of LUDWIG [IV] Graf von Frohburg & his wife --- (-20 Jan [1319/20]). 

iv)       [CLEMENTIA (-[Jan] 1303, bur Wonnental).  The Manuel généalogique pour servir à l’histoire de la Suisse records the burial 1 Feb 1303 in Kloster Wonnental of “Clementa...Gattin des Hesso von Usenberg” and suggests that her name indicates a connection with “Clementia von Werdenberg”, supposed wife of Friedrich [III] Graf von Toggenburg[1067].  The suggestion about her parentage appears highly speculative, implying (1) that the identity of Friedrich [III]’s wife is confirmed (open to debate, see above) and (2) that no other families in southern Germany used the name Clementia (which is clearly not the case as the name arrived in the Werdenberg family from the comital family of Kiburg).  m HESSO von Usenberg, son of --- (-after 1306).] 

v)        MARGARETA von Toggenburg (-after 3 May 1295).  The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified.  Stälin records that Margareta’s family origin is confirmed by the arms featured on her epitaph (without providing further details)[1068].  “Ulricus comes de Helfenstein” sold property “in Schalksteten et in Stubersheim” to Kaisheim, with the consent of “dominæ Margarethæ conjugis suæ et filiarum suarum Agnetis et Adelheidis”, by charter dated 3 May 1295[1069]m (before 31 Dec 1277) as his second wife, ULRICH [III] Graf von Helfenstein, son of ULRICH [II] Graf von Helfenstein & his [first wife Willibirg von Dillingen] (-after 1315).

A.      GRAFEN in CHUR-RÄTIEN

 

 

The area of Chur-Rätien lay south of Rheingau, in what is today the Swiss canton of Graubünden.  An early reference to the county of Chur is provided by the bull of Pope Leo III dated 14 May 779 issued to Kloster Pfeffers “in comitatu Curiensi[1141].  The early history of the county is obscure, the surviving primary sources including insufficient data to confirm an unbroken succession of counts between the 9th and early 11th centuries.  After the late 11th century, the county of Chur-Rhätien was held by the Grafen von Bregenz (see Chapter 5.A). 

 

 

1.         HUNFRID [I], son of --- (-808 or after)Marchese in Istria 799.  Pope Leo III wrote a letter to Emperor Charlemagne dated 806 which names “missi vestry Helmengaudus…atque Hunfridus…comites[1142].  Graf in Rätien 806/808.  m ---.  The name of Hunfrid's wife is not known.  Jackman quotes the Memorial book of Reichenau which lists (in order) "Hunfridus, Hitta, Adelpreht, Odalrih, Hunfrid, Liutsind, Hitta, Imma, Aba", whom he links with the family of Hunfried, and the Memorial book of St Gallen which lists the same persons with Robert, whom he identifies as son of Udalrich [I], deducing that "Hitta" was the wife of Hunfried [I] and sister of Robert, therefore Hidda, daughter of Udalrich [I] [Udalrichinger] & his wife ---[1143].  Graf Hunfrid [I] & his wife had [seven] children: 

a)         [ADALBERT [I] (-killed in battle Retiense 13 May 841).  Jackman quotes the Memorial book of Reichenau which lists (in order) "Hunfridus, Hitta, Adelpreht, Odalrih, Hunfrid, Liutsind, Hitta, Imma, Aba", whom he identifies as Hunfried, his wife, their three sons and possible four daughters[1144].  Graf im Thurgau [836]/[838].  "Hludowicum regem" donated Abersee to Kloster Mondsee by charter dated 829 by the intervention of "Ernosto et Adalperto"[1145].  The Gesta Francorum names "Adalberti comitis" in 839 and records his death in battle "in Retiense…841 III Id Mai"[1146].  Although it is not certain that the latter two entries relate to Adalbert [I], the reference to "Retiense" connects with "Rätien" where Adalbert's supposed father was Count.]  m ---.  The name of Adalbert's wife is not known.  Graf Adalbert [I] & his wife had one child: 

i)          UDALRICH (-[before 15 May 857]).  The Translatio sanguinis Domini names Udalrich as son of Adalbert [I][1147].  Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks donated property to deacon Adalhelm which was previously in "comitatum Adelhelmi comitis…in pago Durgouue in locis…Bussenanc et Uuichrammesuuilare" which "temporibus Odelric comitis post illum Adelhelmi comitis in benefitium habuit" by charter dated 15 May 857[1148], which suggests that Udalrich Graf im Thurgau had died before the date of the charter, his lands passing to Adalhelm, probably a relative. 

b)         [UDALRICH .  Jackman quotes the Memorial book of Reichenau which lists (in order) "Hunfridus, Hitta, Adelpreht, Odalrih, Hunfrid, Liutsind, Hitta, Imma, Aba", whom he identifies as Hunfried, his wife, their three sons and possible four daughters609same person as…?  UDALRICH .  Marquis of Septimania [Gothie].  This co-identity is suggested by Jackman[1149]

c)         [HUNFRID [II] (-824 or after).  Jackman quotes the Memorial book of Reichenau which lists (in order) "Hunfridus, Hitta, Adelpreht, Odalrih, Hunfrid, Liutsind, Hitta, Imma, Aba", whom he identifies as Hunfried, his wife, their three sons and possible four daughters609.  Graf in Rätien 823/824.  Einhard's Annales name "Adalungus abbas monasterii sancti Vedasti et Hunfridus comes Curiensis" as missi to "Liudemuhslum avunculum Bornæ ducis"[1150].  Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names "Adalungum…abbatum et presbyterum et Hunfridum qui erat dux super Redicam" as the emperor's missi sent to Rome, dated to 823[1151].  Founder of Schänis.] 

d)         [LIUTSWIND .  Jackman quotes the Memorial book of Reichenau which lists (in order) "Hunfridus, Hitta, Adelpreht, Odalrih, Hunfrid, Liutsind, Hitta, Imma, Aba", whom he identifies as Hunfried, his wife, their three sons and possible four daughters[1152].] 

e)         [HITTA .  Jackman quotes the Memorial book of Reichenau which lists (in order) "Hunfridus, Hitta, Adelpreht, Odalrih, Hunfrid, Liutsind, Hitta, Imma, Aba", whom he identifies as Hunfried, his wife, their three sons and possible four daughters[1153].] 

f)          [IMMA .  Jackman quotes the Memorial book of Reichenau which lists (in order) "Hunfridus, Hitta, Adelpreht, Odalrih, Hunfrid, Liutsind, Hitta, Imma, Aba", whom he identifies as Hunfried, his wife, their three sons and possible four daughters[1154].] 

g)         [ABA .  Jackman quotes the Memorial book of Reichenau which lists (in order) "Hunfridus, Hitta, Adelpreht, Odalrih, Hunfrid, Liutsind, Hitta, Imma, Aba", whom he identifies as Hunfried, his wife, their three sons and possible four daughters[1155].] 

 

 

1.         RODERICH (-after 831).  Graf in Rätien: Victor Bishop of Chur complained to Emperor Louis I about the predations of “Aroderico et suo pravo socio Herloino post acceptum comitatum facta est” by charter dated to [821][1156].  Emperor Louis I restored property to Victor Bishop of Chur which had been appropriated by “comite nostro...Rodorico...infra provinciam Retia” by charter dated 25 Jul 825[1157].  Emperor Louis I restored property to Kloster Pfeffers which had been appropriated by “comite...Rodericum” by charter dated 831 "villam Tatinriet" in "oppidum"[1158]

 

2.         ROCHAR (-after 12 Jun 849).  Graf [in Rätien]: Ludwig II King of Germany confirmed privileges, granted to the bishopric of Chur by his father Emperor Louis I after the invasions of “comite...Hrodericum”, after investigations carried out by Bernold Bishop of Strasbourg “Gotafridum sancti Gregorii monasterii abbatem...et Hrocharium comitem”, by charter dated 12 Jun 849[1159]

 

 

1.         ADALBERT [II] "der Erlauchte" (-9 Jan [900] or after 24 Jun 903).  Europäische Stammtafeln suggests that Adalbert [II] was the possible son of Adalbert [I] (see above)[1160].  Assuming that he was a descendant of Hunfrid [I] (and the family names suggest that this is likely), he could have been the son of any of the possible sons and daughters of Hunfrid who are named above.  "Ludowicus…rex" confirmed two exchanges between Hartmut abbot of St Gallen and "Adelbertus comes" of (firstly) a church in Filsingen "in suo comitatu…Scherra in loco…Filisininga" for farming land and (secondly) farming land "in suo comitatu…Durgauge in loco Turbatun" for property in Wizzinwang both charters dated 3 [Apr] 875[1161].  A charter dated 1 May 879 recording a donation to St Gallen is dated to "sub Uadelricho et Adalberto comitibus"[1162].  Charters dated 10 Dec 882, 16 May 885 and 897 recording donations to St Gallen similarly name "Adalberto comitem"[1163].  "Arnolfus…rex" donated property "in pago Scerra in comitatu Adalebrti in loco Nuspilinga" to "capellano nostro…Elolfo" by charter dated 20 Jan 889[1164].  Graf im Alpgau 854/885.  Graf im Thurgau 855/893.  "Arnolfus…rex" donated property "in pago Perahtoltespara…in villa Esginga que ad comitatum Adalperti qui Skerra dicitur…pertinebant" previously owned by "A[da]lpertus…comes" to Kloster Reichenau by charter dated 5 Jun 889[1165].  "Arnolfus…rex" granted property "in pago Turgouue in comitatu Adalperti in villis Utteuuilare et Rihchinbahc" to "Alberico Adalperti…vassallo" by charter dated 20 Jun 889[1166].  "Arnolfus…rex" granted property "in pago Turgouue in comitatu Adalperti in villa Kachanang" to "fideli nostro Deothelm" by charter dated 4 Dec 889[1167].  "Arnolfus…rex" commanded "Adalberto, Perehtolto, Purgharto, Vodalrico et cunctis regni istius primatibus" to grant rights to Kloster St Gallen by an undated charter, placed in the compilation among charters dated [891/92][1168].  Graf im Osten der Bertoldsbaar 868/889.  Graf im Hegau 882/888.  "Hludowicus…rex" confirmed privileges to Kloster St Gallen by charter dated 24 Jun 903 in which among "fidelium nostrum" was listed "comites…Adalpreht…"[1169]m ---.  The name of Adalbert's wife is not known.  Graf Adalbert [II] & his wife had three children: 

a)         BURKHARD [I] (-killed in battle [5 Nov] 911).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Marchio in Rätien 891/911.  Graf in der Baar 893.  He succeeded in 909 as BURKHARD I Duke of Swabia

-        DUKES of SWABIA

b)         ADALBERT [III] (-killed in battle 911).  The Annales Alamannicorum record that "Adalbertus frater eius [=Purghart comes et princeps Alamannorum]" was killed in 911 at "ecclesie Salamonis"[1170].  Graf im Thurgau 894/910.  Graf im Klettgau 901/902. 

c)         MANEGOLD .  Pope John VIII names "Manegoldum filium Adelberti" in a letter addressed to "Carolo regis" dated 879[1171]

 

 

1.         HUNFRID [III] (-after 876)Europäische Stammtafeln suggests that Hunfrid [III] was the possible son of Adalbert [I] (see above)[1172].  Assuming that he was a descendant of Hunfrid [I] (and the family names suggest that this is likely), he could have been the son of any of the possible sons and daughters of Hunfrid who are named above.  A document of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated 21 Mar 858 is subscribed by "Hungarius, Engilramnus, Isembardus, Odo, Osbertus, Ratbodus, Hunfridus, Odalricus, Rhodulfus, Engilschalcus, Herluinus, Hitto"[1173]Marquis of Septimania: Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks donated property "in pago Narbonensi…in villa Ripa-alta" to "fidelem…Isembertum" at the request of "Humfridi…comitis et marchionis", by charter dated 20 Jun 859[1174].  An agreement between Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks and his brother Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of Germany dated Jun 860 names "nobilis ac fidelibus laicis…Chuonradus, Evrardus, Adalardus, Arnustus, Warnarius, Liutfridus, Hruodolfus, Erkingarius, Gislebertus, Ratbodus, Arnulfus, Hugo, item Chuonradus, Liutharius, Berengarius, Matfridus, Boso, Sigeri, Hartmannus, Liuthardus, Richuinus, Wigricus, Hunfridus, Bernoldus, Hatto, Adalbertus, Burchardus, Christianus, Leutulfus, Hessi, Herimannus, item Hruodulfus, Sigehardus"[1175].  The Annales Bertiniani record that "Hunfridus Gothiæ marchio" expelled Comte Raymond from Toulouse in 863[1176].  He fled to Italy in 864, then Swabia[1177].  Graf im Zürichgau 872/76. 

 

 

The parentage of the following individual is not known, but it is likely that he was related to the Hunfriding family as explained below: 

1.         ADALHELM (-after 12 Apr 858).  Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks donated property to deacon Adalhelm which was previously in "comitatum Adelhelmi comitis…in pago Durgouue in locis…Bussenanc et Uuichrammesuuilare" which "temporibus Odelric comitis post illum Adelhelmi comitis in benefitium habuit" by charter dated 15 May 857[1178].  It appears from this charter that Adalhelm had succeeded his predecessor, Udalrich probably a close relative, as Graf im Thurgau.  It is probable that deacon Adalhelm was a close relative of Graf Adalhelm.  Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks granted property to Wolvene for life and after his death to Kloster Rheinau "in ducatu Alemannico in pago Turgauue videlicet comitatu Adalhelmi" by charter dated 12 Apr 858[1179].  This charter provides one of the few examples of a pagus being co-extensive with a county in the 9th century.

Chapter 5.    GRAFEN im RHEINGAU

 

 

The Rheingau straddled the upper reaches of the river Rhine before it flows into Lake Constance. 

 

 

A.      GRAFEN von BREGENZ

 

 

Bregenz is located on the south-east shore of Lake Constance, in the Rheingau, and is now in the western Austrian province of Vorarlberg.  According to the Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis[1248], the Grafen von Bregenz were descended from Graf Udalrich [VII].  Europäische Stammtafeln, on the other hand, shows Adalbert, brother of Graf Udalrich [VII], as the likely ancestor of the Grafen von Bregenz[1249] although the basis for this speculation has not yet been found. 

 

 

UDALRICH [VII], son of UDALRICH [VI] [Outzo] & his wife Diepurga --- (-16 Mar 973).  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Oudalricum alterum Marquardum tercium Liutfridum quartum Gebehardum" as the four sons of "Outzo comes", specifying that Udalrich fought in the war of Emperor Otto I against the Hungarians, founded "Lindaugense monasterium" where he was buried and left posterity "apud Brigantium"[1250].  Graf 955.  The Annales Sangallenses record the deaths in 973 of "Udalricus comes et Ekkehardus monachus"[1251].  The necrology of Petrishusen records the death "XVII Kal Apr" of "Uodolricus com frater s Gebehardi"[1252]

m ---.  The name of Udalrich's wife is not known. 

Graf Udalrich [VII] & his wife had [two] children:

1.         [MARQUARD [I] (-1019).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Marquard [I] was the possible son of Adalbert[1253], but this is inconsistent with the Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis which names Graf Udalrich [VII], brother of Adalbert, as ancestor of the Grafen von Bregenz[1254].  Whatever the precise relationship, it is likely that Graf Marquard [I] belonged to this family as the name Marquard was also borne by another brother of Udalrich [VII] and Adalbert.  The Annales Einsidlenses record the death in 1019 of "Marahward comes"[1255]

2.         [ADALBERTm ---.  The name of Adalbert's wife is not known.]  Adalbert & his wife had [one possible child]:

a)         [WERNER [I] (-killed in battle 23 Aug 1040).  Vogt von Kaufungen. 

-        GRAFEN von GRÖNINGEN

 

 

1.         MARQUARD [II] (-after 30 Jan 1032).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Marquard [II] was the possible son of Marquard [I][1256], presumably because they shared the same name.  Graf in Rätien: Emperor Konrad II confirmed property of Kloster Pfeffers “situm in pago Retia Curiensi in comitatu Marquuardo” by charter dated 30 Jan 1032[1257]

 

 

According to Europäische Stammtafeln, the following four brothers were sons of Graf Marquard [II] (see above)[1258].  The basis for this speculation is not known, although continuity in the use of the names Ulrich and Marquard does suggest a close relationship with the previous family. 

 

1.         OTTO [I] (-1 Dec ----).  Graf [im Rheingau]: Emperor Heinrich III granted jurisdiction to the bishop of Chur over a forest "in comitatu Ottonis comitis", on one side from "valle Versamia ex utraque parti Rheni usque ad fluvium Langorum", with the consent of “prædicti Ottonis comitis et Roudolfi, Eginonis et filiorum eius, alterius Eginonis, Hunberti, Adelberonis et cæterorum conprovincialium” and on the other side from “Rheni usque ad Tuminga, quæ fluit per Regacium” with the consent of “abbatis Fabariensis Pirihtilonis et advocati sui Werenheri”, by charter dated 12 Jul 1050[1259].  Graf im Linzgau, Buchhorn und Oberrätien 1058.  He founded Kloster Hofen before 1089.  "Johanna" donated property "in pago Linzigouva in comitatu Ottonis in loco…Urenouva" to Schaffhausen St Salvator by charter dated 4 Apr 1094, witnessed by "Berhtoldi ducis Suevorum, Burchardi comitis de Nellenburg advocati predicti monasterii, Manegoldi comitis et Wolfradi filii sui de Alshusen, Burchardi comitis de Frickinga…"[1260].  The necrology of Hofen records the death "XVIII Kal Jan" of "Otto com"[1261], which could refer to the husband of Berta of their son.  m BERTA, daughter of --- (-31 Jan ----).  The necrology of Hofen records the death "XI Kal Feb" of "Bertha com vidua fundatoris huius monasterii"[1262].  Graf Otto [I] & his wife had one child:

ULRICH [X] von Bregenz, son of ULRICH [IX] Graf von Bregenz & his wife --- (-[26/28] Oct 1097, bur Mehrerau).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.  Graf von Bregenz.  He founded Kloster Andelsbach, and in 1094 Kloster Mehrerau.  King Heinrich IV donated Kloster Pfeffers “sita...in Curwalia in comitatu Odalrici comitis de Bragancia” to the bishopric of Basel by charter dated Mar 1095[1270].  The Chronicon of Bernold records the death "1097 VI Kal Nov" of "Oudalricus comes" at "apud Brigantium" where he had become a monk[1271].  The necrology of Augiæ Maioris records the death "VI Kal Nov" of "Ulricus com fundator huius loci"[1272].  The necrology of Zwiefalten records the death "VII Kal Nov" of "Uodalricus com de Brigantia"[1273]

m (before 1077) BERTHA  von Rheinfelden, daughter of RUDOLF Graf von Rheinfelden [later King of Germany] & his wife Adelaide de Savoie (-20 Jan after 1128, bur Mehrerau).  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "comes Oudalricus…Brigantium", records his betrothal to "filiam Wernheri comitis de Habichisburc" but states that he "concubit latenter cum Berhta filia Ruodolfi regis"[1275].  Gräfin von Kellmunz.  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Bertha relicta Oudalrici" and "filiorum suorum Roudolfi et Oudalrici" recording their donation after her husband died[1276].  The necrology of Augiæ Maioris records the death "XIII Kal Feb" of "Bertha com"[1277].  The necrology of Zwiefalten records the death "XIII Kal Feb" of "Berhta com de Brigantia"[1278]

Graf Ulrich [X] & his wife had [four] children: 

1.         [ADELHEID (-before 28 Jun 1165).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln[1279], the wife of Graf Ulrich may have been the daughter of Ulrich [X] Graf von Bregenz & his wife Bertha von Rheinfelden.  This is presumably based on a chronicle about the bishopric of Konstanz written by Jakob Manlius (date not specified) which records that in 1098 Kloster Bregenz was founded by “Ulrico...Rhetorum et Brigantiæ comite qui fuit avus...comitis Rudolphi de Pfullendorf[1280].  The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records details relating to both the Bregenz and Ramsberg/Pfullendorf families, including the marriage of Graf Ulrich [X], which suggests that this family connection may be correct[1281].  Her name is confirmed by the Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis which records the donation by [her son] "Roudolfus comes de Rammisberch" dated 1163 which names "matris meæ Adilheide"[1282]m [ULRICH Graf von Ramsperg, son of ---.  1111/1155.]

B.      GRAFEN von MONTFORT

 

 

Schloß Montfort was located near Götzis, in present-day Vorarlberg in western Austria on the frontier with Switzerland.  The county of Montfort expanded eastwards and northwards to include the larger county of Bregenz, the Herrschaft of Tettnang west of Bregenz along the north-east shore of Lake Constance, and the Herrschaften of Dornbirn, Feldkirch and Hohenems, which lay along the upper reaches of the river Rhine north of what is today the principality of Liechtenstein.  The Grafen von Montfort also owned the Herrschaft of Jagdberg, an isolated territory west of the town of Chur. 

 

 

HUGO von Tübingen, son of HUGO [IV] Pfalzgraf von Tübingen & his wife Elisabeth von Bregenz (-12 Mar [1230/34]).  "Hugo comes de Monteforti et carnalis frater eius Rudolfus…palatinus Tüwingen et mater eorum" donated property to St Gallen by charter dated 24 Jun 1209, witnessed by "…comes Diethalmus junior de Togginburg…"[1299].  Graf von Bregenz 1191.  Graf von Montfort 1208. 

m MECHTILD, daughter of ---.  Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 20 Dec 1251 under which [her daughter] "Elisabet comitissa de Werde" donated property to Kloster Salem and renounced certain rights for the souls of “patris nostri Hugonis comitis de Monfort necnon matris nostre Metilde et omnium fratrum et sororum nostrarum[1300].  The Manuel généalogique pour servir à l’histoire de la Suisse suggests that she may have been “Tochter des Edelherren Walther von Schnabelburg und Schwester des Walther von Eschenbach und des Berthold von Schabelburg(-Schwarzenberg)[1301].  This speculation is based on an imprecise relationship between the Montfort and Schnabelberg families which is indicated by the following charter: “Hugo comes Montisfortis” [Hugo [II], see below] recognised the rights of Kloster Kappel in certain property, naming “consanguinei nostri Ulrici de Snabelburch”, by charter dated 8 Sep 1247[1302].  According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Hugo [I] married twice: firstly “[--- von Eschenbach-Schnabelberg]”, and secondly “Mechtild von Wangen, daughter of Friedrich von Wangen”[1303].  The basis for this information has not been ascertained and no indication has been found in the primary sources consulted that Hugo [I] married twice.  It should be noted that, if the speculation about the Eschenbach-Schnabelberg connection is limited to the information shown above, Hugo’s supposed first wife would have been called Mechtild which suggests that some confusion lies behind the Europäische Stammtafeln suggestion. 

Hugo [I] & his wife had seven children: 

1.         RUDOLF [I] (-[Sep 1244/19 May 1248]).  Graf von Werdenberg. 

-        GRAFEN von WERDENBERG

2.         HUGO [II] (-[11 Aug] [1257/60]).  "Comes Hugo Brigantinus" confirmed the donation of property to Kloster Boos made by "Fr[idericus] de Zwirgunberc ministerialis noster" by charter dated Jun 1234[1304].  “Hugo comes Montisfortis” renounced rights over property in Gaisweiler which had been donated to Kloster Wald, by charter dated 1257[1305].  The necrology of Mehrerau records the deaths “III Id Aug” of “Hugo com. de Monteforti[1306], which could refer to Hugo [II].  m --- von Burgau, daughter of HEINRICH [III] Graf von Berg, Markgraf von Burgau & his wife Adelheid ---.  Her parentage and marriage are indicated by a source which records that [her son] Wilhelm Abbot of St. Gallen was the son of the sister of Heinrich Burggraf von Burgau[1307].  Fickler indicates that her name was Elisabeth, based on the following necrology entry[1308]: the necrology of Mehrerau records the deaths “XIV Kal Sep” (19 Aug) of “Elisabeth coma. Hugo com. de Monteforti, qui in partibus transmarinis in insula Ctpro sepultus est 1363[1309].  Clearly this represents a misinterpretation as “Hugo com.” who died in 1363 could not be Hugo [II].  In addition, there is no link between the two entries “Elisabeth coma” and “Hugo com...”: if there had been a link, Elisabeth’s name would have appeared after Hugo’s (presumably following “et uxor eius...” or similar).  The conclusion is that the name of the wife of Hugo [II] remains unknown.  Hugo [II] & his wife had seven children: 

a)         RUDOLF [II] (-19 Oct 1302).  A charter dated 5 Oct 1252 records the appointment of arbitrators, including “Rudolfus filius comitis Ugonis de Monteforti et Egeno advocatus de Amatia”, in a dispute involving Heinrich Bishop of Chur[1310]Graf von Montfort in Feldkirch.

3.         [CLEMENTIA ([before 1245]-28 Feb 1282).  The primary source which confirms the name of the wife of Friedrich [III] Graf von Toggenburg has not been identified.  Zeller-Werdmüller, noting the absence of sources naming her, suggests that she was named Clementia, citing an epitaph recording the death 1282 “pridie Kal Mar” of “frow Clementa ein Gräfin von Toggenburg” for whom no other Toggenburg husband has been identified.  Concerning her family origin, he suggests that she was the daughter of Rudolf [I] von Montfort Graf von Werdenberg & his wife Clementia von Kiburg[1477].  He suggests that this parentage would explain the Papal dispensation required for the marriage of [her grandson] Friedrich [V] Graf von Toggenburg and Kunigunde von Vaz, whose paternal grandfather Walter [IV] von Vaz married the supposed sister of Rudolf [I] von Werdenberg.  The chronology appears favourable for Zeller-Werdmüller’s suggestion, given the likely birth date in [1230/45] of any daughters of Rudolf [I] and the probable marriage date before 31 Dec 1277 of Friedrich [III]’s daughter Margareta.  Another possibility is that Clementia was Friedrich [III]’s mother, which would be chronologically feasible if she was born shortly before [1230].  m FRIEDRICH [III] Graf von Toggenburg, son of KRAFT Graf von Toggenburg & his wife --- (-[22 Nov 1303/7 Dec 1305]).]
