Bohuslav I of Hrabischitz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bohuslav I. von Hrabischitz (Czech Bohuslav I. z Hrabčic ) (* around 1180 , † 1241 ) was a Bohemian nobleman from the Hrabischitz family .

Bohuslav was probably the younger son of Prince Slauko the Great . An indication of this results from documents in which he is listed in second place, behind his brother Grabissa V. His name has been recorded in documents since 1202 . In 1205 he is appointed and deputy chamberlain. Since 1207 he and his father contributed to the further growth of the wealth of the monastery in Ossegg . In 1211 he is again referred to as subcamerius , but in between he lost this title, because from 1218 he is only listed as the son of the chamberlain Slauko. From 1219 he continued to appear as a witness in documents, more and more often without his father, who had grown old and who was now in his mid-50s for the time.

In 1224 , when he was appointed chamberlain, he rose to become one of the leading noblemen in Bohemia, but here still further in the shadow of his father, who also held this title. After the death of his father, he presumably withdrew from state affairs and devoted himself to the administration of the family's wealth. In a document from 1231 he attests to the sale of the village of Vranov to the convent in Kladrau by the Ossegger abbot Dietrich (Dětrich).

In 1232 he returned to the royal court and took over the office of royal chamberlain ( summus camerarius ) under the new King Wenceslaus I. In February 1238 King Wenzel visited the Ossegg monastery . The distinction made here Donation to the Cistercian - monastery in Marienthal is attested by Bohuslav with his signature.

In the meantime, the fortunes of the Hrabischitzer family continued to grow and the family owned large estates in north-west and west Bohemia. The numerous donations to the church are among his great merits. Bohuslav was closely connected with the Velehrad Monastery , to which he donated 12 hooves from the village of Velká nad Veličkou to save his soul and the soul of his ancestors . He was also buried here and not in his native Ossegg. His name is also associated with the construction or expansion of other churches. So the church of St. Jacob in Schlackenwerth . Another building was the Church of St. Jilja in Hochpetsch near Brüx . During the reign of Bohuslav, the Church of St. Lawrence was probably also built on the area of ​​today's Kostenblatt . After all, he was probably also significantly involved in the construction of the Romanesque church of St. George in Dux , of which only a few archaeological remains can be seen. This church was believed to be one of the family's feudal seats.

After Bohuslav, his eldest son Boresch II von Riesenburg took over the fate of the family.
