Burgraves of Lienz and Lueg
The Burgraves of Lienz and zum Lueg were a noble family from the Middle Ages .
history
After the Wends were defeated by Emperor Charlemagne , a German soldier built the Lueg Fortress near Adelsberg in Carniola , and his numerous descendants, who expanded into various branches, were called the Luegers . Its last owner, Erasmus Lueger, achieved great fame partly through his frequent feuds, partly through his tragic end in 1484, which can be read in the pantheon of Frater Sartori.
A line from this generation of Lueger, the progenitor of occurring in 1165 Burggraf Friedrich Lienz may have been, came up with the Meinhardi formers in the görzische Puster Valley , and was of them with the viscount office Lienz, and later still with the Marshal office of County Gorizia enfeoffed. As hereditary castellans of Lienz, their fronts neglected the old lineage of Lueg, and it was only their descendants who brought it up again; but they used the two names "von Lienz and Lueg" differently, soon putting one in front of the other, or being content with one alone.
In 1197 the priest and canon Irmenstein of Innichen gave half an acre to the blessed Candidate (the collegiate church of Lienz) through the hands of his brother Conrad the Burgrave of Lienz.
Otto Burggraf von Lienz married Beatrix von Taufers and received an apartment from his mother-in-law Euphemia and the tower on the bridge to Lienz, courtyards in Tristach, Amlach and Leisach, as well as various other goods.
In the 13th century there was also the minstrel, simply called Burgrave of Lienz , who came from this family.
In 1271, Ernst von Lienz and other witnesses confirmed the document of the division of the lands between Count Meinhard II and Albert von Tirol and Gorizia .
Around the year 1310 Friedrich, Viscount of Lienz, and Anna had, the widow of his brother Hugo, the bishoprics of Brixen the Castle Neu-lawn with the courts, the goods and Gülten on Anraß, Aßling and Tilliach in offset.
Diemut von Lienz, titled “ Landgravine von Lienz” in the Reschic register, died in 1338 as the abbess of the aristocratic Sonnenburg monastery. In 1394 Konrad von Lienz founded a daily Holy Mass in the parish church there with his cousin Erasmus, and Erasmus, who built the St. Nikolauskirche in Thurn above Lienz in 1416, had the fourth anniversary of the 1400s with his brother Augustin introduced in Lienz.
With the permission of the Austrian dukes, the first-mentioned brothers replaced the castle and court of Sand in Taufers in 1407 from Rudolph the Laßberger for 11,000 gold guilders . Bishop Ulrich von Brixen pledged to them the rule of Anras with its authority (Tilliach, Aßling and Lienz), and this pledge was inherited by the knight and burgrave Hugo. When Hugo was attacked hostile by the Counts of Cilli and robbed of his possessions, the Brixen bishop Georg redeemed Anraß to his bishopric in 1439. In 1431 the same Hugo had also contributed to the establishment of the benefit to Nassereit with reservation of the patronage right. He was still alive in 1473 and at that time he was the Hereditary Marshal of Gorizia . But since his marriage to Anna Countess von Thierstein remained childless, his cousin Hanns Luenzer, Burgrave of Lienz and carer on Heinfels , succeeded him in the latter capacity , who in 1467 founded the chaplaincy in the citizen's hospital in Lienz with his housewife Magdalena von Gufidaun.
Their son Kaspar Burggraf called from Lienz and Lueg, and gave in 1500 the görzischen Regent and pledge gentlemen of Lienz and Lueg Virgil of digging , all his goods to Lienz, which he had inherited part of Balthasar.
In 1538 there was still a son of the same, named Franz, who had to flee the country because of a quarrel with the Count of Cilli and was later shot by his enemies. He left no offspring.
The nobles von Gsieß and von Anraß are said to have descended from the family of the Burgraves of Lienz and Lueg , but this has not been proven.
