Dietrich von Weyer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dietrich or Theodor von Weyer (also: Weier, Wyer, Wier, Wierus) (* around 1540/42 in Grave an der Maas; † June 8, 1604 probably in Heppenheim an der Wiese ) was a Dutch-German lawyer , electoral councilor as well Envoy and Troop Inspector of the Republic of the Seven United Provinces . He was a staunch supporter of William I of Orange in the Eighty Years' War and was repeatedly suspected of corruption .

Life

Dietrich Weyer was the son of the doctor and opponent of the witch hunt Johann Weyer (1516–1588) and his first wife Judith Wintgens († 1572). His father was a city doctor in Arnhem from 1545 and was appointed to the Klever Hof as a personal doctor in 1550 .

Education

Dietrich Weyer studied in 1559 together with his brother Heinrich (around 1545–1591), who later became the personal physician of the Trier Electors Jakob III. von Eltz (1510–1581) and Johann von Schönenberg (1525–1599), at the newly founded Académie de Genève (matriculated as “Theodorus Wierus Clivanus” ). In 1560 both brothers heard the Graecist Adrianus Turnebus (1512–1565) at the Collegium Trilingue in Paris . Dietrich Weyer lived in Bourges in the house of the professor of law Hugo Donellus (1527–1591), after which he moved to Orléans . In 1561 he enrolled in Padua as "Theodoricus Wierius Clivensis" and later moved to Bologna . On 17 May 1564, he was in Pisa as "Theodorus Wierus Sicamber , f [Filius] Joannis doctor" to Dr. jur. utr. PhD . As a doctor of law, he enrolled at the University of Cologne in 1566 .

He was nominated as assessor at the Imperial Court of Justice by Duke Wilhelm V of Jülich-Kleve-Berg (1516–1592) and the Münster bishop Bernhard von Raesfeld (1508–1574; reigned 1557–1566) . 1566 tried Dietrich Weyer with the support of the governor Charles de Brimeu (* around 1525, † 1572), Count of Meghen, successor to Jheronimus Lettin († 1566) as a councilor at the court of Geldern in Arnhem. However, since his parents were suspected of Lutheran heresy, the application fails, even though he was apparently ready to take an oath on the Catholic faith. In 1568 Dietrich Weyer corresponded with Count Wilhelm IV von dem Bergh-'s-Heerenberg (1537–1586).

Pfalz-Zweibrücken

In 1568 Weyer entered the service of Duke Wolfgang of Pfalz-Zweibrücken (1526–1569) as a councilor for foreign affairs . By assuring the brokerage of a loan of allegedly 240,000 guilders, of which his own father wanted to contribute 2,000 guilders, he helped the Huguenot ambassador Gervais le Barbier (Gervasius Barberius), Sieur de Francourt (around 1512–1572), to conclude Duke Wolfgang a support contract with Louis I. de Bourbon, prince de Condé (1530–1569), to move. The Princes of Condé were leaders of the Protestants during the Huguenot Wars . The contract was concluded in Zweibrücken on September 18, 1568 and provided with a notarial instrument on October 29 . Duke Wolfgang undertook to equip 17,000 soldiers.

The amount promised by Weyer, for which the Strasbourg bankers Ingold, Wolff, Prechter, Wicker and Israel Minckel (around 1525–1569) under the guarantee of Georg Olbrecht (1500–1569), appears to have failed to materialize. On October 11, an envoy, Duke Wolfgang (Weyer?), Appealed in vain to the Strasbourg council to grant a 5% loan of 20,000 guilders. On October 21, African d'Haussonville († 1603), Olry du Châtelet († 1569) and Claude Antoine de Vienne (1534–1588), seigneur de Clervant et de Coppet, vouched for the costs in Strasbourg.

Presumably Dietrich Weyer was one of the Protestant ambassadors who, after the execution of Count Lamoral von Egmond and Philippe de Montmorency, Count von Horn , following the Rhenish Electoral Congress in Bacharach at the end of July 1568, went to Emperor Maximilian II (1527–1576) in Vienna were sent to raise support for the Netherlands. Weyer's presence in Vienna in August 1568 is documented by a letter from his father.

The Prince of Condé and Duke Wolfgang died the following year in 1569 on the campaign in France, in which William of Orange (1533–1584) took part with 1,200 horsemen.

On June 4, 1569 Weyer was in Plymouth and thanked Secretary of State William Cecil (1521–1598) by letter for the English support. However, after receiving the news of Duke Wolfgang's death († June 11, 1569), Weyer is said to have only partially received a sum of money from Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603) for the campaign in La Rochelle to Admiral Gaspard II. De Coligny (1519–1572) delivered. The amount of support that Weyer carried with him also included an amount of 6,000 crowns ( coronati ), which Johannes Sturm (1507–1589) made available from his own resources in England. Before Bartholomew's Night, Claude Antoine, Herr von Clervant, Doctor Weyer, and the Geneva banker Balbini mit Sturm held a meeting at which repayment was promised.

Bergh-s'Heerenberg

In the early 1570s Dietrich Weyer was in the service of Wilhelm IV von dem Bergh-'s-Heerenberg, who shared Johann Weyer's criticism of the witch hunt. In 1570, on behalf of Wilhelm IV., He took care of the equipment of troops that Wilhelm von Orange had collected at Niedermörmter . The weapons were supplied by the Cologne merchant Philipp Palm. In Worms he entered the register of the Electoral Palatinate personal physician Joachim Strupp .

In 1571, Weyer confirmed the pledging of a collection of jewels belonging to Countess Maria von dem Bergh (1539–1599), Wilhelm IV's wife, in the name of her brother, Count Johann VI. von Nassau (1536–1606) for 1000 Reichstaler to the Cologne goldsmith Wilhelm Kaaff, citizen of Cologne.

Dietrich Weyer took in 1572 in Zutphen from the armories Klaus Bilstein, Martin Schwietering and Hermann Schuff car from Wesel, the 118 soldiers for 1750 Taler were equipped with weapons, and their suppliers gifts worth 100 taler contrary. In 1578 an investigation was therefore carried out in Ulft Castle by Commissaris Daniel van Renssen († 1584) and notary Dederich van den Pavordt († after 1593), secretary of Maria von Nassau. Weyer does not seem to have been prosecuted any further, because he was in correspondence with Wilhelm IV by letter even after leaving the service.

Palatinate-Lautern and Electoral Palatinate

Under Count Palatine Johann Kasimir (1543–1592) Dietrich Weyer was councilor of Palatinate Lautern until around 1579 and also took on diplomatic missions for Friedrich III. "The pious" of the Palatinate true. At the turn of the year 1572/73, Weyer tried to obtain armed support from the Electoral Palatinate for William of Orange. The Franco-Saxon diplomat Hubert Languet , who supported the Huguenots, asked Joachim Camerarius in May 1573 to send a letter to Dr. We will forward it in Heidelberg. In May and June 1573 Dietrich Weyer stayed with his father in Wesel and wrote to Count Johann VI from there . (1536–1606) and Ludwig von Nassau-Dillenburg (1538–1574) on ways to save Haarlem , which was besieged by the Spaniards - the city fell on July 13, 1573.

In January 1574, Weyer was on a diplomatic mission with King Charles IX. (1550–1574) was in France. When Chancellor Christoph Prob († 1579) resigned for reasons of age in 1574 , Elector Friedrich III appointed. von der Pfalz (1515–1576) Christophemann (1528–1592) as the new Elector Palatinate Chancellor and Dietrich Weyer as the Electoral Palatinate Oberrat.

After the death of King Charles IX. Weyer was on July 22, 1574 by Johann Casimir and Elector Friedrich III. sent on another trip to France. He traveled to Paris via Metz to first meet the mother of the absent King Henry III. (1551–1589), Caterina de 'Medici (1519–1589), to be won over for the Protestant side. When this attempt was unsuccessful, he traveled to Heinrich III. across Lyon . Henri I. de Bourbon, prince de Condé (1552–1588) and Théodore de Bèze (1519–1605) were informed about the progress of the negotiations at the end of August in Strasbourg by Liz. jur. Wenzeslaus Zuleger (1530–1596), who had received a despatch from Weyer from Paris before he left for Lyon.

On Savoyard area Weyer was by Henry III. receive. In return for allowing the Huguenots to practice their religion freely , Weyer offered an alliance between the Electoral Palatinate and France. Henry III. answered evasively and promised him a final decision in Lyons. In September, Caterina de 'Medici and Heinrich III. a rebuff in Lyon. Weyer, who spoke French very well , found extremely frank words against the king when the failure of the mission became apparent. On the occasion of this legation trip, Weyer also visited the cities of Bern and Basel in Switzerland - presumably on his return journey at the beginning of October 1574 .

In 1575 Dietrich Weyer was bailiff of the royal seat of Kaiserslautern . In May he met in Cologne with the French ambassador General Caspar von Schönberg (Schomberg) (1540–1599) and Count Albrecht VII von Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt (1537–1605), the brother-in-law of William of Orange, about the peace treaty of Breda . He then took part in the meeting between Wilhelm V von Jülich-Kleve-Berg (1516–1592) and the ambassadors of the Electoral Palatinate, Hesse and Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttels in Hambach Castle , where after the death of Karl Friedrich von Jülich-Kleve Berg (1555–1575), the next steps in the diocese of Münster were discussed if Bishop Johann Wilhelm (1562–1609) would give up his office as the new heir to the throne at Jülich-Kleve-Berg.

In September 1575 Dietrich Weyer signed a contract for Count Palatine Johann Kasimir in Heidelberg with Henri I (Heinrich I) de Bourbon, prince de Condé, about the recruitment of an army of 15,000 men. Weyer and the Palatinate Council Dr. Peter Beutterich (around 1545–1587) accepted an obligation from the prince for 50,000 Escus . The secretary of Heinrich I and ambassador at the court of the Electoral Palatinate, Michel de la Huguerye (around 1545-1616) insinuated that Weyer had used unclean means when signing the contract. Huguerye relied on the lawyer François d'Averly, Herr von Minay, who worked in Heidelberg for Charlotte de Bourbon-Montpensier (1546 / 47–1582), since June 1575 the wife of William I of Orange. In 1575/76, Weyer took part as a councilor from the Palatinate in Johann Kasimir's second campaign to France.

After the death of Elector Friedrich III. von der Pfalz In 1576, Dietrich Weyer and Peter Beutterich received instructions from Johann Kasimir for regulating the religious system in the Electorate of Palatinate. At the end of April 1577, Weyer had a detailed conversation with the Lutheran Duke Reichard von Pfalz-Simmern (1521–1598) about his inheritance dispute with Johann Casimir and the plans for a new religious conversation . In May 1577, Weyer and Beutterich and Johann Kasimirs Kämmerer Steuererburg von Löwenstein-Schweinsberg (1552-1619) had a meeting with the British ambassador Philip Sidney (1554-1586) in Heidelberg . In the event that Queen Elizabeth I joined the planned Protestant Union, Johann Kasimir had guaranteed support for the common cause amounting to 100,000 “ dollars ” . The elector also intended, as a reaction to the Lutheran formula of the Concord, to explore the possibilities for a joint confession of the Reformed Churches in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Poland and campaigned for England to participate in the project. A corresponding multinational reformed convention in Frankfurt am Main on 27./28. September 1577 was only able to agree on a synopsis of the already existing confessional writings.

In 1578 Weyer participated in the "brotherly comparison" between the Reformed Johann Casimir and the Lutheran Elector Ludwig VI. von der Pfalz (1539–1583). In 1579 he represented Johann Kasimir as bailiff to Lautern on the Weissenburg Land Rescue Day. After that he resigned - possibly in connection with the simultaneous dismissal of the Zuleger council - from the service of Pfalz-Lautern.

Pfalz-Veldenz-Lützelstein

From 1581/82 to 1588 Dr. Dietrich Weyer mentioned as the chief bailiff ("Archisatrapa") of Count Palatine Georg Johann I von Veldenz-Lützelstein (1543–1592), who resided in Veldenz , Lützelstein ( La Petite-Pierre in Crooked Alsace ) and in Lauterecken .

In 1582 Dietrich Weyer wrote twice to William Cecil on the occasion of a trip to England of Georg Gustav von Pfalz-Veldenz (1564–1634), the son of Georg Johann I, and his brother, the Palatine councilor Johann Weyer (* around 1555–1610) , who in the meantime had advanced to Lord High Treasurer and 1st Baron Burghley , in order to prepare a benevolent reception for the two and to thank Queen Elisabeth and Cecil for their conversations.

At the beginning of 1584, Weyer tried in negotiations with Henry IV of Navarra (1553-1610) - at that time still the leader of the Huguenot party - to get Georg Gustav von Pfalz-Veldenz a bishop's seat in France. In the summer of 1584, on behalf of Georg Johann I, he conducted secret negotiations with Archbishop Ernst von Bayern (1554–1612) in Cologne to protect him against the Strasbourg Bishop Johann IV of Manderscheid-Blankenheim (1538–1592, ruled 1568) a planned military campaign to take possession of the county of Dagsburg .

Weyer was involved in numerous ventures that the indebted Count Georg Johann I von Veldenz with Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria (1529-1595), Duke Alexander Farnese of Parma (1545-1592), the city of Cologne and others over an import monopoly for the coal trade, the construction of canals and making it navigable, the exploitation of his inventions in mining technology and other possible sources of money. Weyer denied to Johann Kasimir in 1586 that the talks between Georg Johann I and his “cousin” Wilhelm V of Bavaria (1548–1626) in Mittenwald and Innsbruck were about a possible lucrative marriage.

In 1588, Weyer refused to ratify the “Heidelberg Treaty” between Georg Johann I, Georg Gustav, Johann Kasimir and other members of the Palatinate House on the redemption of the 1584 from Georg Johann I to Karl III for 400,000 guilders . Pfalzburg pledged by Lorraine (1543–1608) .

Burgrave of Starkenburg (Electoral Palatinate)

Around 1589, Dietrich Weyer was brought back to the Electoral Palatinate by Johann Kasimir as “councilor and servant from home” (1589, 1591). He explored the possibility of marrying the underage Elector Friedrich IV of the Palatinate (1574–1610) with a daughter of Marie Eleonore von Jülich-Kleve-Berg (1550–1608), Duchess of Prussia.

He was ennobled as "Diethrich von Weyher" and from 1591/92 to around 1596 he was burgrave and bailiff of Starkenburg , a Mainz office near Heidelberg that was pledged to the Electoral Palatinate .

In 1591 Dietrich von Weyer traveled to Poland , Düsseldorf and Prussia to win Anna of Prussia (1576–1625) , possible heir to the Duchies of Jülich-Kleve-Berg , as a bride for Friedrich IV. He suggested, in order to "almost or tomorrow cursing and heartache and reprimand" that Duchess Maria Eleonore should come with her daughters Anna and Marie of Prussia (1579–1649) to bathe in Ems so that the possible bride could be inspected could. It was then decided in 1593 to marry Frederick IV with Princess Luise Juliana of Oranien-Nassau (1576–1644) and in 1594 to marry Anna with Johann Sigismund von Brandenburg (1572–1620), the son of Joachim, the administrator of the Magdeburg Monastery Friedrich of Brandenburg (1546–1608).

After Johann Casimir's death, Weyer, against whom Johann I von Pfalz-Zweibrücken (1550–1604) had spoken out in February 1592, was dismissed from the Elector Palatinate by Elector Friedrich IV of the Palatinate (1574–1610).

Talks with Brandenburg-Prussia

In 1593 the "former Burgrave of Starkenburg" stayed in Worms . In 1594, Weyer informed Margrave Georg Friedrich I of Brandenburg-Ansbach (1539-1603) in detail about alleged extramarital affairs and alcohol consumption of Jakobe von Baden-Baden (1558-1597), the wife of Duke Johann Wilhelm von Jülich-Kleve-Berg, and a few months before she was charged with adultery on January 29, 1595 by the duke's sister, Sibylle von Jülich-Kleve-Berg (1557–1627), in front of the estates.

Dietrich von Weyer was always well informed about what was going on at the court in Jülich-Kleve-Berg, not least because his brother Galenus Weyer (1547–1619) was the personal physician of Dukes Wilhelm V and Johann Wilhelm von Jülich in Düsseldorf from 1578 to 1609. Kleve-Berg officiated.

Weyer apparently tried to get an appointment in Brandenburg-Ansbach at this time, but the Palatinate government advised prince friends from his employment. The Ansbach Lutheran councilor Stephan Mumm (1532–1601) - at the same time the Electoral Palatinate councilor in Amberg - said Weyer was "a dangerous man and to some extent subject to corruptionibus".

Republic of the Seven United Provinces

From 1595 to 1599 Dietrich Weyer succeeded Laurentius Myller as agent (envoy) of the Republic of the Seven United Provinces in the Empire. In the summer of 1595 he was sent on a secret mission to the Duchy of Cleves to explore cooperation against the Spanish Netherlands. In a similar mission he was appointed to the Jülisch-Klevischen diplomat Wirich VI in 1596 . Sent by Daun-Falkenstein († 1598).

In 1596 Weyer pushed the idea of ​​an alliance between Brandenburg - Prussia and Holland . On the way to Holland Weyer was intercepted in May 1596 near Wesel by the Spanish horsemen of Archduke Albrecht VII of Austria (1559–1621). Instructions that he carried with him allegedly suggested that Brandenburg and Pfalz-Zweibrücken-Neuburg planned to abduct Duke Johann Wilhelm von Jülich-Kleve-Berg and his sister Sibylle from Hambach to the Netherlands. The Brandenburg Agent and later Düsseldorf Mayor John of Megen († 1639) was lured to Hambach, thrown as co-conspirators to Weyer to jail and before the main course in Jülich for treason accused. Von Megen - like Weyer before him - was released on bail in September.

In the summer of 1596 Weyer was sent by the States General to Copenhagen for the coronation of Christian IV of Denmark and Norway (1577–1648). The legation obtained confirmation of old privileges. In November Weyer received instructions with which he, together with the French ambassador in Prague Guilliaume d'Ancel († 1625), should move the German princes to join an alliance against Spain. In 1597 he warned the States General that the Protestant princes felt threatened by the surrounding Catholic archbishoprics, in which Spanish troops were located, and that the empire was in danger of breaking up; one should start alliance negotiations.

In May 1597, Weyer was commissioned to negotiate with the "administrateurs" of the Magdeburg Monastery about an alliance; The administrator was Joachim Friedrich von Brandenburg. Weyer was therefore sent to Germany in August and reported by letter from Halle in October . Previously, in July 1597, Weyer had accompanied the Polish envoy Paweł Działyński (1560–1609) on his onward journey from 's-Gravenhage to the English Queen Elizabeth I with carriages and warships to Zeeland . In 1598 he informed Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (1547–1619) about the claims of several German princes on Jülich-Kleve-Berg , the status of planned peace negotiations with Spain, considerations about the Sund tariff and a threat to free shipping on the North Sea by the Hanseatic cities. Dietrich Weier registered as “envoy of the States General in the Reich and Denmark” in the register of the Palatinate-Neuburger Landmarschall Johann von Leublfing (1578-1624) on Gansheim.

On January 2 and 14, 1599, at his own request, " glimpelijck " (in the sense of "consensual") decided to end Weyer's service as an agent in Germany and to give him the office of monster commissaris (mustering Commissioner, troop inspector) over the riders and the infantry. Weyer's successor as agent of the States General was from 1602 to 1622 Pieter Cornelisz. van Brederode (1558-1637). In 1599 Weiers stayed in Kitzingen .

It is possible that Weyer still had a subsidiary appointment towards the end of his life as a councilor to the strictly Calvinist Count Wolfgang Ernst von Ysenburg (1560–1633) in Büdingen .

Tomb in Heppenheim an der Wiese

In 1602 Junker Dietrich Weier is mentioned in Heppenheim an der Wiese . There were several free goods there and north of the village in the direction of Pfeddersheim an abandoned castle or a permanent house . Heppenheim an der Wiese in the Oberamt Alzey belonged to the Electoral Palatinate.

The tomb of "Dieterich Weier, U. I. D. , the unuirten Herren Staden in Hollandt, war commissarius ord.," Is made of red sandstone in the choir of the Evangelical Parish Church of Worms-Heppenheim, walled into the wall behind the pulpit. The grave slab names the families of the ancestors "Weier, Wintgen, Bocksmer" and "Denholt" in inscriptions and bears their coats of arms .

A son Georg Dietrich Weyer is mentioned in 1596 as the owner of the register of Duke Georg von Braunschweig-Lüneburg (1582–1641) and in 1601 ( "George Diederich Weyer, zoon van den monstercommissaris" ) as an applicant to the States General. The register entries (1596) Johann Casimir Weyer and Johann Dietrich (Theodor) Weyer are also likely to have been sons of Dietrich Weyer. Johann Theodor Weyer "de Veldenz" ( Iohannes Theodorus Weyerus Veldentinus stud. Iur. ) Received his doctorate from the Geneva Academy in 1584.
