Egino III. (Freiburg)
Egino III. († 1385 ) was Count of Freiburg . He was the second eldest son of Conrad II of Freiburg († 1350) and the Mahaut of Montfaucon.
Takeover of rule
After Egino's older half-brother Friedrich (from the marriage of Konrad II with Anna von Hachberg) had died as a successor to Konrad in 1356, his daughter Klara entered the line of succession. On the other hand, Egino successfully sued Charles IV and took over in 1358, against the will of the Freiburg residents, after the emperor had decreed the eight over the city, as Count Egino III. the rule. As the Freiburg residents feared a dispute with their new master, they tried hastily to renew the protective and defensive alliances with neighboring cities that had been concluded under his father Konrad, but this only partially succeeded. The feared dispute with Egino broke out openly in 1366.
War between the city and Count Egino
"Graffe Egon came in jar Christi 1366. with his place in such great unity that in Mertzen (March) with his friends, and with a great addition of the nobility, with knights and servants, at night he attacked the place." Johann Schilter, p. 33) “On the same night, however, warned that she was about to surrender, an expelled beggar, who had overheard the gentleman stop in the nearby village of Lehen. The storm bell rang just as the Count and his family were quietly approaching. He recognized the tones immediately and turned to the accompanying Margrave von Hochberg (Hachberg) with the words: 'Oh dear, today Lord of Freiburg and never more!' "(Heinrich Schreiber, p. 19)
On April 12, 1366, Freiburg took the first mercenaries "against Count Egen von Friburg and against all sin helpers and servants" under contract to defend it. "A great war arose in which the villages burned, and the people were robbed and treasured" and that " Eginos castle and castle were won and torn by the burgers from the city in the middle of the Meyens" (Johann Schilter, p. 34) ( in May 1366). Subsequently, on October 18, 1366, the Freiburgers and their auxiliaries suffered a devastating defeat in an open field battle near Endingen with over a thousand dead. Count Egino saw that he could no longer rule the city in peace and consented to his abdication.
Handover of rule to the House of Austria
The peace treaty of March 30, 1368 between the city and Egino III. “It was made that the citizens of Freyburg bought the rulership and all of his claims from the Count, and gave him (him) and his helpers twenty thousand marck silver. Bought for Freyburg the rulership Badenweyler with jrer assigned (with their accessories). According to this, the rulership of the Counts of Freyburg ended in Freyburg after much damage, costs and work.
Though Freyburg in Breisgaw should have a lord, she came to the praiseworthy house of Austria, in the jar (year) when the birth of Christ our lords was announced in 1368, at the times when the lucid, high-born princes ruled and Messrs. Hertzog Albrecht and Hertzog Lupolt von Oesterreich. ”(Johann Schilter, p. 34) Egino died on August 23, 1385 as Lord of Badenweiler . His tombstone is in the local, today Protestant, Paulus Church.
