Agnes of Nuremberg
Agnes von Nürnberg (* 1366 ; † May 22, 1432 ) was abbess of the Hof monastery from 1409 to 1430 or 1431 .
Agnes came from the house of the Franconian Hohenzollern family and was a daughter of the Nuremberg burgrave Friedrich V and Elisabeth von Meißen . Intended for life in the monastery at an early age, she joined the Poor Clares in Hof in 1376 . In 1386 she married Freiherr Friedrich von Daber († July 15, 1410) in Constance, but returned to the monastery and in 1409 became its abbess. After the genealogist Alban von Dobenck , she succeeded her sister as abbess. In 1430 the threat from the Hussites led the nuns to flee to Eger , today Cheb.
