Eberhard II. (Ebersberg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eberhard II of Ebersberg (* around 995, † after 1040) from the house of the Counts of Ebersberg was Count of Ebersberg, Margrave of Krain and Vogt of Ebersberg Monastery and Geisenfeld Monastery .

Life

Eberhard II was the second and youngest son of Count Ulrich von Ebersberg and Richardis von Viehbach († April 23, 1013), daughter of Markwart II von Viehbach.

Eberhard II decided with his brother Adalbero II to share the family property, transfer it to foundations and thus enable the church to be built. The brothers renewed the Ebersberg monastery in 1037 , in the same year he founded the Geisenfeld monastery and became the governor of both monasteries. In 1040 the foundation was confirmed by Heinrich III.

His wife was Adelheid von Sachsen († February 6, 1037) and tragically the marriage remained without adult children. Since the children (3 sons are reported) died early, the couple decided to use their wealth completely " to praise and honor the name of God and Mary and the saints ".

However, new sources attribute Eberhard II to two sons:

He was the imperial supporter and often mentioned as a witness in the documents.

1040 it is mentioned that one of King Heinrich III. Property given to the diocese of Brixen is located in the marchia Creina in comitatu Eberhardi marchionis . Eberhard was able to consolidate and expand his father's position in the southeast of the empire. The margraviate could even pass to Hadamut, Eberhard's niece, to her son Ulrich I of Weimar-Orlamünde . Hadamut's mother and Eberhard's sister Willibirg were married to Count Werigant of Friuli , who also appears in 1027 as comes Wezelinus advocatus ducis Adelperonis .
