Noble from Friesack

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The nobles of Friesack are a mark brandenburg ical Ritter family. It was the first documented family that ruled Friesack Castle . The period of mention as Herren von Friesack spanned 1256 to 1290. A daughter of the family married Prince Pribislaw I. von Parchim-Richenberg , which proves the family's outstanding position in Brandenburg at that time.

In documents from 1256 and 1259 Richard von Friesack, a Magdeburg ministerial from Jerichow and his son Heinrich, whose family probably came into possession of Friesack as a result of the Wendenkreuzzug of 1147, are mentioned. The nickname "nobilis" indicates that the birth status definitely exceeded that of the ordinary knightly nobility. They even had the right to strike coins. A joint coin from this period by HARDVS DE VRIS (Richard von Friesack) and IOHANNES DE PLOV (Johannes von Plaue ) is kept in the Dresden Coin Cabinet . Richard von Friesack became the father-in-law of Prince Pribislaw I von Parchim-Richenberg, a great-grandson of Pribislaw (Mecklenburg) . As a result, he mediated between the Werle princes fighting for his property and his liege lords, the Margraves of Brandenburg . After that Richard is no longer named, while Heinrich often appears as a witness in documents. The son of Pribislaw I, Pribislaw II. Received in 1287 from the Brandenburg margrave Belgard , Dobren and Welfenburg as a fief. At the same time, the nobles Heinrich v. Friesack and his son Richard (II) v. Friesack included. In 1290 Heinrich and his son Richard II found themselves in the Dome in Brandenburg, where they left the Zolchow fiefdom to the cathedral monastery for 8 silver marks . Then the news about the family and where it occurs again is missing for a long time, e.g. B. 1351 in a Rathenow document or 1386, where an Arndt v. Friesack together with Eckhard v. Stechow is named as a co-owner of the Ländchen Rhinow , they no longer appear as the owner of Friesack.
