ancestry

The parents of Adelheid von Gorizia were Count Meinhard III. von Gorizia and Tyrol (I.) (* approx. 1192/1194, † 1258) and Adelheid (* approx. 1217, † 1278), the daughter of Count Albert III. of Tyrol. Her brothers were Count Meinhard II of Tyrol (and Gorizia IV), who is considered the founder of Tyrol, and Count Albert I of Gorizia.

Life

Adelheid was born after her brothers, i.e. 1241 or later. It is mentioned for the first time in a document after the death of her father in a comparison between her mother and Bishop Heinrich von Chur on September 12, 1258. Approx. In 1262 she married Count Friedrich I (II.) Von Ortenburg (Carinthia). When her brothers in Lienz split up the paternal inheritance among themselves in February 1267 , her mother asked her sister Adelheid to equip it.

Four children of Count Friedrich I. von Ortenburg and Adelheid are mentioned in a document: The sons Meinhard, Otto and Albrecht as well as the daughter Eufemia, who married Count Hugo II von Werdenberg in 1281 (marriage contract June 3rd) . The Counts of Görz / Tirol and the Ortenburgers were closely related, since Adelheid's brother Albert I (of Görz and Tirol) married the sister Eufemia of her husband Friedrich I for the second time in 1275.

Countess Adelheid von Ortenburg (Gorizia) died in 1291, according to the necrology of the Ossiach monastery on January 1st. She was buried in the Dominican monastery in Cividale , the inscription of her lost epitaph has been handed down by De Rubeis: Hic jacet Dna Adaleyta Comitissa uxor Dni Federici de Ortenburch soror Domini Maynardi Ducis Karinciae u. Dni Alberti Comitis Goriciae. In the same column of his writing, De Rubeis quotes from the necrology of the monastery archives in Cividale that Count Friedrich von Ortenburg died on March 28, 1304.
