Brandlecht also Brandtelghet or other strongly deviating spellings Bran + (d / t) + L + (e / i / ij / y) + (ch / g / gh) + (d / t) is a lower aristocratic family from the county of Bentheim , which is before 1326 may have been noble-free and whose headquarters were in the town of the same name, Brandlecht , which is now part of Nordhorn ( County of Bentheim ).

history

From the early 14th century until 1483 the family v. Brandlecht resident in the glory Brandlecht and the associated knight seat Gut Brandlecht . In 1321 a squire of the Utrecht diocese named Adolphus de Brantelghete is mentioned for the first time . It is not entirely clear whether they were already dependent on the Counts of Bentheim before 1326 or only afterwards became dependent on fiefdoms, i.e. whether they owned an allodial glory before that.

from bad to bad

Not long after this family appeared around 1321, the family often appeared in connection with disputes with the surrounding rulers. Around 1331 she was involved in a feud with the noblemen of Steinfurt and the Diocese of Osnabrück because of a servant executed in Osnabrück. In 1360 Brandlecht Castle was even razed by the diocese of Münster, only to finally come into conflict with the diocese of Osnabrück again between 1370 and 1400. After that, things calmed down for this family.

In the second half of the 15th century the von Brandlecht could no longer hold the knight seat Brandlecht due to excessive indebtedness. The social decline of this family began without a knight seat suitable for the state assembly. In neighboring Overijssel she would have been included in the hoveluden social class . One of the brothers who sold the Brandlecht estate to von Rhede in 1473 was Johann von Brandlecht , gographer of Bentheim. He died in 1491. It is not certain whether he was the last of his line, as there was a non-aristocratic Neuenhauser mayor family named Brandlecht until the 18th century .

von Brandlecht called von Heest on Große Heest

Another branch moved to the knightly estate Große Heest (contemporary called Grote Heest ) in Laar around 1490 . In the 17th century and probably before that, both the small and the large Heest were not among the knights' seats in the county of Bentheim that were eligible for state assembly, as they were probably allode or allodified goods belonging to the von Laar family.

This branch of those von Brandlecht seems to have also belonged to the social class of the hoveluden . The son of Arndt von Brandlecht (* before 1490, † around 1507) on Große Heest , Hendrik and his sons, no longer called himself von Brandlecht , but like his resident predecessors, van Heest , a branch of the von Laar zu Laar family . On November 22nd, 1735, the last of this line, called van Heest, died in Laar: Angenis van Heest . Presumably in the following year 1736 grave slabs were attached in the Emlichheim church with the Brandlecht kettle hook and the Laar's three-legged tournament collar .

coat of arms

The von Brandlecht family had a kettle hook placed diagonally in the shield, with the three hooks on this kettle hook swinging counterclockwise, similar to a triskele . A branch of this family, called van Heest , also carried a cauldron hook and partly in seals and on grave slabs flanked with the three-legged Laar bench. The helmet figure consisted of either four flowers with stems or four peacock feathers. Due to the proximity to Twickelo (approx. 20 km as the crow flies from Brandlecht), a tribal relationship to the family v. Twickel / Twickeloe conceivable, which also had a kettle hook in the shield and which appears around the same time.

The Landkomtur von Münster, Herman von Brandlecht, is said to have led a five-pointed diagonal right-hand bar, but here too, albeit in a highly abstract manner, it is probably a sloping boiler hook.
