Arnold von Viermund

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arnold von Viermund (* after 1534; † 1592 ) was canon in Paderborn and Münster as well as bailiff in Medebach .

Life

Origin and family

Arnold von Viermund came from the noble family Viermund , which had its origins in the Hessian town of Viermünden and spread in Westphalia in the 15th century and on the Lower Rhine in the 16th century . He was the son of Johann von Viermund (1498–1547), Lord of Viermünden and Bladenhorst , and his wife Anna von Bevern zu Langen († 1538). He had two brothers, Philipp (1534–1584) and Johann († 1564). The eldest brother Philipp inherited the paternal rule of Bladenhorst in 1547 . They were still a minor when their father died in 1547 and were therefore initially under the tutelage of their uncle Hermann von Viermund (1501–1563), Herr von Nordenbeck , Elector of Cologne from Medebach and Episcopal Paderborn Landdrost from Dringenberg.

Act

Arnold was already a canon in Paderborn , when he by Pope Pius IV. On Feb. 14, 1560 an agreement for the Münstersche Dompräbende received canon of the late Hermann von Furstenberg. On August 18, 1567 , Arnold resigned after having married Anna Spiegel zu Peckelsheim in 1563 . He became court judge in Munster and magistrate in Medebach. His marriage was childless.

Others

After the death of the uncle Hermann von Viermund in 1563 there was a long and fierce inheritance dispute between the brothers Arnold and Philipp, who refused to acknowledge the inheritance of their cousin Anna von Viermund . Anna had been raised Protestant while the two brothers remained Catholic . When Anna's father Hermann von Viermund died in 1563, Nordenbeck Castle was captured and occupied by Arnold and Philipp. The brother Johann was murdered in 1564 in a dispute with his local rival Johann von Dersch († 1590), whereupon Arnold appropriated the holdings of the family in Viermünden, including some farms and the fortified Herrmansberg estate.

In 1577 Anna's first husband, Count Heinrich von Waldeck , tried to recapture Nordenbeck Castle. As he was approaching, he fell from his horse and died. The dispute, which was fought before the Imperial Court of Justice, ended in 1580 with a verdict in favor of Anna. Her father's goods in Nordenbeck and Viermünden were awarded.
