Ekbert I. (Tecklenburg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ekbert I. von Tecklenburg (* around 1090; † February 4, 1150 ) was Count of Tecklenburg .

Life

Ekbert I. von Tecklenburg was named as the son of a count from the house of Saarbrücken and Gisela von Lothringen, daughter of Dietrich II . Another source names Ekbert's I father as Heinrich I von Tecklenburg (* 1065), who appears in 1118 as a count with estates in Oesede . According to the source, Gisela is later married to Friedrich I von Saarbrücken and has three other children with him.

Ekbert was a Saxon vassal and from 1127 a count. In 1139, part of the inheritance of Count Heinrich von Zutphen († around 1122, before 1127) fell to him and he has since called himself Tecklenburg after the castle . He moved to the position of the old Counts of Zutphen.

The dispute, on the one hand about this inheritance with the Counts of Ravensberg and Oldenburg , and on the other hand with the bishops of Osnabrück and Münster, was decisive for his house. In addition to the most important legal titles for the establishment of territorial rule, Vogt von Münster , Vizevogt in Osnabrücker Nordland and in Corvey , he also owned a number of free chairs, such as Friesoythe , Addrup and on the Hümmling .
