Adalbero II of Ebersberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adalbero II von Ebersberg (* around 980/85; † March 27, 1045 at Persenbeug Castle ) from the Sieghardinger family was Count von Ebersberg from 1029 to 1045 .

Life

He was the eldest son of Count Ulrich von Ebersberg († 1029) and Richardis von Viehbach, daughter of Count Markwarts II. Von Viehbach ( Eppensteiner ).

He received the Ebersberg canons , which he converted into a Benedictine monastery around 1040. In 1040 he ceded his imperial fiefdom Benediktbeuern to the newly founded monastery of the same name .

Adalbero was married to Richlind († 1045), the only daughter of the Guelph Count Rudolf II of Altdorf and the Ita of Swabia. With Adalbero II the Counts of Ebersberg died out.

The traveling party of Heinrich III. had stopped at the Countess Richlinde von Ebersberg at Persenbeug Castle , who was faced with the task of distributing the inheritance of her recently deceased husband. During an extensive feast of the hostess, a supporting pillar broke below the ballroom and caused the entire floor to collapse. The king was slightly injured, but the hostess, the Würzburg bishop Bruno and the abbot Altmann of the Ebersberg monastery so badly that they did not survive the next few days.
