Dauba (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lords of Dauba (Czech z Dubé ) were an old Bohemian noble family, a branch of the Lords of Ronow .

The gender split into several branches:

  • Berka by Dauba (Berkové z Dubé)
  • Shkopka by Dauba (Škopkové z Dubé)
  • Adersbach of Dauba (Adršpachové z Dubé)
  • Rotenbergerberger (?) From Dauba (Červenohorští z Dubé)

Not related to them are the Mratsch of Dauba (Mračtí z Dubé), who descended from the noble Beneschau family.

One of the proven rulers was Matthew , who owned farms on the lower reaches of the Sázava . His descendant Andreas († after 1361) built Rubá Castle at the end of the 13th century. His son Andreas von Dauba (Ondřej z Dubé) († 1400) was a land judge , master of the royal chamber and from 1384 to 1394 the highest land judge. His brothers divided the sex into two branches.

Vaněk von Dauba held Humpolec . His grandson Kunesch , a supporter of Georg von Podiebrad , lost all of his fortune during the armed conflict. This branch died out in the same century.

Benesch von Dauba built the Leštno (also Líšno) castle near Bystřice . The grandson of his second son Andreas, Jan Roháč z Dubé and his uncle Wenzel accompanied Jan Hus on his trip to Constance . Later, however, Jan Roháč joined the emperor Sigismund . This branch also died out at the end of the 15th century.
