Eberhard IV of Walsee
. Eberhard IV of Walsee (also Eberhard IV./II of Walsee. , Eberhard II of Walsee-Linz. , † 10. October 1325 ), from the Ministerialengeschlecht the Walseer , henchman I. Duke Albrecht , was 1288 to 1322 provincial judge whether the Enns . In the year 1300 Eberhard von Walsee was already called Hauptmann ob der Enns and his office was not much later Hauptmannschaft ob der Enns (1322). Around the middle of the 14th century the title of captain became permanent.
Life
As early as the winter of 1287/88, Duke Albrecht I gave Eberhard IV von Walsee an independent sphere of activity by making him district judge - later (regional) captain ob der Enns - as the successor to Ulrich II von Kapellen . This office was to remain in the hands of the House of Walsee almost continuously for 190 years. Eberhard IV thus set up his residence in the ducal castle in Linz , after which the line he founded was called the Walsee. His first advice as “Lantrihter ob Ens” is handed down from January 29, 1288.
After the capture of Zawisch von Falkenstein , who named himself after the Falkenstein Castle in the upper Mühlviertel , the Bohemian King Wenzel II came to an understanding with Duke Albrecht, for whom this advanced post against Passau and the County of Schaunberg was important, and Eberhard IV. took the fortress Falkenstein in 1289 after a long siege. In the same year Eberhard IV and his brother Heinrich I von Walsee made a significant contribution to the ducal war costs, for which the latter temporarily pledged Freistadt , the Riedmark and the Machland . As a result, Duke Albrecht withdrew these areas from Bavarian aspirations.
During his tenure, Eberhard IV and his brothers Heinrich I and Ulrich I von Walsee repeatedly took part in the campaigns, sieges and contracts between the dukes and kings Albrecht and Rudolf. In 1300 Eberhard IV accompanied Rudolf , the eldest son of King Albrecht I, on his wedding trip to Paris , where he married Blanka of France , the half-sister of King Philip IV of France .
In 1311 Eberhard IV von Walsee and Dietrich von Pillichdorf moved to Northern Italy to see King Heinrich VII , who welcomed them both benevolently. On this occasion, the future emperor confirmed to the Walsee on June 5, 1311 in the camp in Brescia that the bailiwick of the Waldsee monastery had been pledged .
In 1321 Eberhard IV handed over the administration of all goods to his son of the same name Eberhard V. von Walsee , but still retained the office of district judge on the Enns.
Possessions
From 1297 Eberhard IV was able to acquire larger estates in Lower Austria ( Guntersdorf Castle , Stronsdorf Market, Wulzeshofen Market , etc.). In Upper Austria , Eberhard only gained a firm foothold later (Freistadt, Klostervogteien von St. Florian and Lambach ). The acquisition of Neuburg am Inn was strategically significant and remained with the Walseers as a pledge almost continuously for over a hundred years.
family
In 1290 Eberhard IV von Walsee married Maria von Kuenring († 1320). The only son Eberhard followed him in all his possessions as well as in the office of district judge or captain ob der Enns.
