Albert II of Störmede

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert II of Störmede († presumably 1290 ) was the Truchsess of the nobles of the Lippe and Marshal of Westphalia .

Life

The von Störmede family goes back to Albert I. von Lippe ("de Luppia"; also called von Störmede). His son was Rabodo I. If the family previously belonged to the high nobility, this has not been the case since Albert II, as the family had lost a large part of their property and he only appears in the sources in a dependent position. In spite of his relatives, he served the Lippe family as a stewardess . As Marshal of Westphalia, he was also the secular deputy of the Archbishop of Cologne in the Duchy of Westphalia.

Albert II presumably served as marshal twice. The first time 1231–1248 and the second time 1248–1256. In his first term of office he appears as a witness when Count Adolf I von Waldeck renounced the patronage rights of the church in Medebach before Archbishop Heinrich in favor of the Küstelberg monastery .

In the second term of office, Albert II led allied with other Westphalian counts such as Gottfried III. von Arnsberg on behalf of Archbishop Konrad von Hochstaden war against his relative Simon I. zur Lippe, Bishop of Paderborn. This dispute concerned the fortification of Salzkotten . During the battle on Wulves Kampe, Bishop Simon was captured and handed over to the archbishop. In the report sent to the Pope on the matter, Albert II is named first of the ministerials after the nobility. In the same year he was a witness when Archbishop Konrad granted the city of Helmarshausen the first privileges. On behalf of the archbishop, he handed over a fiefdom to the brothers Gottschalk and Hermann von Pyrmont in 1255 . Shortly afterwards Albert II lost his position as marshal.

It is mentioned in a document in 1280. Probably in 1290, at the latest in 1291 he must have died.
