Aribo II.

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aribo II. (* Around 1024 ; † March 18, 1102 ) from the high free family of the Aribones was Count Palatine of Bavaria from 1041 to 1055 .

Life

Aribo or Eribo was the eldest son of Count Palatine Hartwig II of Bavaria and Friderun, daughter of Count Reding / Reting and Immedingerin Glismod. His father died in 1027 when he was still a small child, his brother Boto or Poto was only born after his father's death. The mother Friderun was possibly put in a monastery soon after Hartwig II's death. Hartwig II in turn was the son of Count Palatine Aribos I , the founder of the Seeon and Göss monasteries .

Aribo was named as Count Palatine and Count of the Lower Salzburggau as early as 1041, so still quite young. He and Boto had possessions a. a. in Carinthia, Styria, Salzburggau, Freising, around Regensburg and Nordgau. He himself is a possible namesake u. a. for Arndorf near St. Ruprecht / Raab , for Erbendorf (district Tirschenreuth , Opf.), perhaps also for Ermreuth (Markt Neunkirchen aB, district of Forchheim , Ofr.) and Ermreus ( district of Kunreuth , district of Forchheim, Ofr.).

In 1053, Aribo and Boto joined the uprising of Duke Konrad of Bavaria and Duke Welf of Carinthia against Emperor Heinrich III. on. In 1055 Aribo was deposed for high treason and outlawed together with Boto. Both lost their imperial fiefs and parts of their property . Boto married Judith, a Schweinfurt heiress , the widow of the late Bavarian duke, and through her came to estates in Franconia. At least from that time on he called himself Boto von Pottenstein . Aribo reappeared in the documents for the first time in 1059 after his dismissal, as a witness to a Bamberg bishopric synod under the name "Erbo de Wizenaha ".

Around 1070 the two brothers founded the Millstatt Abbey in Carinthia. At that time Aribo was probably married to a Liutkard. Whether a son Hartwig emerged from this marriage is uncertain; at least this one seems to have died before him. Probably in his second marriage, Aribo was married to a villa of unknown origin and founded with her monastery Weißenohe . This marriage seems to have remained childless, because the founding confirmation by Pope Paschalis II from 1109 mentions only one niece, Hadamoth or Hadimuoth, in addition to the donor couple.

Although Aribo appears in various functions and with different titles in the documents after his dismissal, he did not get the palatine count back. He died very old in 1102 and was buried in the Seeon family monastery. With the death of his brother Boto in 1104, the Palatine line of the Aribones died out.
