Christoph von Moers

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Count Christoph or Christoffel von Moers und Saar Werden (* around 1486 probably in Cracau ; † October 9, 1566 in Arnhem ) was a German nobleman in the service of the Duchy of Geldern .

Life

origin

Christoph von Moers-Saar Werden was a grandson of Count Vincenz von Moers-Saar Werden (1414–1499). In older literature he was considered to be a " bastard son " of Hereditary Count Friedrich V. von Moers-Saar Werden († 1477) and an abbess of St. Cäcilien or a son of his brother Arnold von Moers-Saar Werden. Entries in the Krefeld pension bills of 1490/91 and 1493 prove that he and his brother Dietrich, who died young, were sons of the deceased young count Dietrich von Moers-Saar Werden (* before 1449; † before 1490). Presumably he had a sister Clara († after 1526), ​​who became a nun in the Franciscan ( tertiary ) convent of St. Johannes Baptista in Krefeld.

Vincenz von Moers-Saar Werden sold the indebted county of Moers in 1493 to Count Wilhelm III. zu Wied-Ysenburg-Runkel (* around 1455/60; † 1526), ​​the son-in-law of his deceased son Friedrich V. Wilhelm III. von Wied officiated from 1493 to 1500 and from 1510 to 1519 as Count von Moers.

In the service of Duke Karl von Geldern

Like his uncle Bernhard von Moers-Saar Werden († 1501) before him, Christoph von Moers-Saar Werden entered the service of the Duchy of Geldern as a "servant ind haeffgesinde". Duke Karl von Geldern (1467–1538) from the House of Egmond enfeoffed Christoph von Moers in 1510 with pensions in the office of Krickenbeck and in 1517 with the county of Dalem (near Gorinchem ). Christoph von Moers was commander in Zaltbommel from 1513 to 1518/19 .

Count Christoph held office in Sneek from 1519 to 1522 as governor in the provinces of Friesland , Groningen with the Ommelande and Drenthe . The Burgundian-Austrian governor of Friesland, Wilhelm von Roggendorf, expelled the Gelderschen under Christoph von Moers from Kuinre ( Cuinder ) in 1521 , whereupon Count Christoph had the city's castle and church burn down. The siege of the fortress Steenwijk , in which the colonels Michiel van Pommern, Michiel van Bombergen, Werner Spiegel and 300 Geldrische soldiers were killed, had to be broken off in 1522 without success. In 1524 Christoph von Moers returned to Gelderland and was appointed governor in the upper district in 1525 and prefect in Utrecht in 1527 . When the city threatened to be pillaged by the occupation, whose wages Karl von Egmont could no longer pay, the citizens went over to the other side. Utrecht was conquered on July 1, 1528 by Margaret of Austria , the governor of the Habsburg Netherlands . Bishop Heinrich von der Pfalz ceded the secular rule of the diocese to Emperor Charles V as Duke of Brabant and Count of Holland . On the retreat, Count Christoph von Moers was betrayed and captured by the “peasant rabble ” ( boerengespuys ) on the Overijsselse Vecht . Together with Walraven van Arkel († 1556/57), Heer van Weerdenburg, and the advice of Geldern Winand van Arnhem († 1533) he was brought back to Utrecht, detained and after the Peace of Gorcum (Gorinchem) released in October 1528.

In 1530, Karl von Geldern transferred Cracau Castle as a hereditary fiefdom to Count Christoph von Moers, who immediately pledged it to his drosten Goswin von Honselaer (Hanxler; Hanxleden). Count Christoph also received the remains of the Moersian pledges in Millen , Gangelt , Vücht and Roermond and was a co-signatory of the Peace of Grave (October 10, 1536). In 1532 he was a witness to the marriage talk of Kathrina Bastardin van Geldern (* around 1515; † 1601) with Walrave van Arkel († 1556/57). When Elisabeth von Bueren († before 1557) - a natural granddaughter of Karl von Egmont - signed the marriage contract with Bergh's landdrosten Cracht van Camphuysen († before 1546), "Cristoffell, Count of Moers and Saar Werden " acted as one of the seal witnesses. In 1538 he became one of the executors of Duke Karl von Geldern's will.

Geldern under Jülich-Kleve-Berg

After the death of the childless duke, rule of Geldern briefly passed to Duke Wilhelm V of Jülich-Kleve-Berg in 1538 . After a settlement brokered by Chancellor Johann Ghogreff in autumn 1541 about mutual claims between Kleve and Moers, Count Wilhelm II. Von Neuenahr , widower of Countess Anna von Wied and Moers (* around 1500; † 1528) and Wilhelm III's son-in-law. von Wied, from Duke Wilhelm V. von Jülich-Kleve-Berg and Geldern enfeoffed with Krefeld and Cracau Castle. According to the contract, Haus Crakau and Krefeld were handed over with all accessories, subject to the rights of "Goiswyn von Honxler" and Christoffel von Moers, which were compensated.

Habsburg council in Arnhem

After Emperor Charles V took possession of Geldern, Christoph von Moers became a member of the council at the Habsburg “Hof von Geldern and Zutphen” in Arnhem on March 5, 1543. In July 1544, Christoph, the "grave van Meurs / comes de Moerza", took in Arnhem with Chancellor Joost van Sasbout (1487–1546) and the counselors Jacob Hermansz. Pieck († 1570), Heer van Isendoorn, Johannes von Keppel († 1547), Adrian Marius Nicolai Everard († 1568), Johannes Stratius (Johan van der Straten) († 1555) and Jean Baptiste de Berty († 1579) at interrogation of the printer Albert Paeffrait († after 1548) from Deventer , who u. a. was suspected of having printed books by the Baptist David Joris . Paeffrait was sentenced to a church fine and to pay the prison costs for printing anonymous books without specifying the place of printing. Johan van Wittenhorst († 1569) to Horst also belonged to the Geldrian council in 1544/45 . According to the imperial statutes of 1547, in addition to the governor and chancellor, the college in Arnhem should include four aristocratic councils from the four quarters of the country and six learned councilors.

In 1549 Christoffel von Moers concluded a "friendly" settlement with Herrmann von Neuenahr and Moers on all still disputed questions.

In 1552 the Geldrische council consisted of governor Philip de Lalaing , Count von Hoogstraten, Chancellor Adrian Marius Everard, Christoffel van Moers, Jacob Pieck, Johan van Wittenhorst-Horst, Johannes Stratius, Johan van Stalbergen (Stalborch) († 1573), Johan Gillis ( Johannes Aegidius) († 1558) from 's-Hertogenbosch, Jheronimus Lettin († 1566), Fiscal Attorney ( momboir ) Joost van Cranevelt (1516–1591), Godart Pannekoek († 1577) from Harderwijck, General Landrentmeister Thomas II. Gramaye ( † 1574) and secretary ( griffier ) Jean Baptiste de Berty.

Councilors with their judges at the court of Geldern in Arnhem, woodcut around 1580 by Sebastian Henricpetri . In the accompanying text by Lodovico Guicciardini u. a. the council called "Christoff Graue von Moers vnnd Herr zu Zerwalden (sic!) ".

After the death of Philips de Lalaing in 1555, Philippe de Montmorency, Count of Hoorn , became governor of Geldern . In the year of Christoph von Moer's death in 1566, the following were members of the Geldrischen council: Lieutenants Charles de Brimeu , Count von Meghen, Chancellor Adrian Marius Everard, Joost van Cranevelt, Jacob Pieck, Johan van Wittenhorst-Horst, Johan van Stalbergen, Godart Pannekoek, Peter van Apeldoorn († 1592) to Duistervoorde, Amelis van Amstel van Mynden (1531–1593) to Kronenburg and secretary Thomas Roos († after 1579). The councilor Jheronimus Lettin, who died shortly before Count Christoph on August 17th, to whose successor Dietrich von Weyer tried in vain, was replaced in 1567 by Willem van Gent († 1603) from Nijmegen.

Christoph von Moers was buried in the Sint-Walburgiskerk in Arnhem.

family

Christoph von Moers-Saarbaren is said not to have been married, but had some children. His daughter Anna became a nun in the Krefeld Franciscan convent around 1526. The son Christoffel van Moers († April 19, 1570) died as a canon of the Sint-Walburgiskerk in Arnhem. He - or a grandson of the same name of Christoph von Moers-Saar Werden - had attended the Latin school in Emmerich and was accepted under Johannes Rethius in autumn 1558 as "Canonicus" among the students of the Cologne Jesuit Convict at the Dreikronenburse . One daughter was called Maria von Moers († around 1590); she had a son Jacob († after 1590) and wanted to be buried in the Sint-Walburgiskerk in her father's grave. The daughter Geertruyd van Moers († March 1, 1563) was married to Frederik van Zuylen van Nievelt (1531–1591), heer van Gerenfeld, 1570 Drost der Nieder- Veluwe .

Jan van Moers (Johannes de Muersa; Moersa; Muers; Muyrs; Moyrs; Mons) - very likely also a son of Count Christophs - is documented as a dean of the Sint-Maartenskerk in Zaltbommel between 1543 and 1557/59. In 1558 the archdeacon and imperial councilor Philippe Negri became the grandson ( zoon zijns natuurlijke zoons ) “Christoffel Derricksz. "Or" van Moers "on one of the death of Gysbert Petersz. de Roever († 1558) proposed prebend in the Zaltbommel chapter ; accordingly Christoffel von Moers had a natural son Dietrich van Moers with the grandson Christoffel.
