Egino IV (Urach)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Egino IV. Count of Urach, called "The Bearded One"

Egino IV. (* Around 1160 in Urach ; † January 12, 1230 in Tennenbach ), Count of Urach , known as "The Bearded One", inherited their possessions on the right bank of the Rhine after the Zähringer died out .

Life

Egino IV married the daughter of Duke Bertolds IV. Agnes von Zähringen . With the death of Bertold V on February 18, 1218, the property of the Zähringer family on the right bank of the Rhine in Breisgau , in the Black Forest and on the Baar fell to the Counts of Urach. But Staufer king Friedrich II tried with the Zähringen legacy to restore imperial property and increase his household power. He narrowed the Urach inheritance claims by withdrawing the imperial fiefs of the Zähringer. In addition to Breisach , Neuchâtel and Villingen , the ancestral castle of the Zähringer also fell back to the empire. "So the inheritance was often dismembered, and among them the city of Freiburg, as an ostensible imperial fief, drawn from the emperor."

But in agreement with his son Egino the Younger , co-regent with the title “Lord of the fortress Freiburg”, Egino did not put up with this. “A fight broke out between the king and Egino, which also involved the city of Freiburg. But it soon came to a comparison, as a result of which the king returned the count's subjects who had emigrated to the territory of the empire during the war. ”King Friedrich had to give in because he had the goodwill of Konrad the Cardinal Bishop of Porto , brother Eginos V, in his quarrels with the Pope needed. The Zahringian duke title did not fall to the Counts of Urach. Egino V called himself Egino I , Count of Freiburg after the death of his father in 1230 .
