Fagana

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Fagana are an old Bavarian nobility and nobility. They are expressly mentioned in the Lex Baiuvariorum , in which the old popular law of the Bavarian tribal duchy from 635 onwards, alongside the Trozza , Huosi , Hahilinga , Anniona and the ducal family of the Agilolfinger , and were thus one of the six Bavarian progenitor families. The ancestral land of the Fagana was the area between the Isar and Inn and between Mangfall and the lower reaches of the Amper . The Erdinggau also belonged to their areaand the Isengau .

history

Under Duke Odilo , Fagan Anulo appears in the first existing Freising tradition note from 744 as the first witness to a donation and in his function as judex , followed by Fagan Regino, also judex and later Fagan Wurmhart. In the second Freising tradition note from 748, Fagan Wetti signed in second place. Likewise, in the third Freising tradition note, which is a confirmation of Odilo's donations by Tassilo III. contains, in addition to huosin names, the Fagan Re (a) gino.

The Fagana appear again in 750 in a traditional Freising note. On July 3, 750 the only nine-year-old Tassilo III. as dux the locus Erching under the bishop Joseph of Verona to the cathedral church Freising. This Freising Bishop is also called Fagan. Two families appear as donors, namely the Feringa (for whom there is an Alfrid) and the Fagana , represented by Re (a) gino, Anulo, Wetti, Wurmhart et cuncti participes eorum (= all other participants on both sides). The exhibition venue was the Agilolphian Herzogshof in Niederding . Anulo and Regino already officiated under Odilo as ducal judges in castrum Freising. This Regino could have been the head of the clan, who in 760 was given the title praeses , which is unusual for a count (the designation praeses and dux is otherwise only used by the Churrätischen Viktoriden ). Fagan Wetti, son of Anulo, passed on his paternal inheritance in villa Rudlfing 759/60 to the Marienkirche in Freising. The writer of the document is Oadalker, a brother of Wetti; Both donate property to Kienberg in 772 to the Huosi monastery in Schlehdorf . A grandson of the same name of this Wetti is attested between 883 to 926/37 as a comes in the area north of the lower Amper , his brother Kepolf also bears the title of count in 853. The name Regino appears relatively frequently from the 780s to 864: Regino and his (Huosi) wife Oaspirin, for example, donate their property in Hohenkammer around 783 , and Regino and his son Liuto also appear as donors after 792. They mostly appear in close and also family contact with the Huosians.

The oldest Gaugraf of Fagana known to us is Count Job (Jakob, around 790 to 820), who was wealthy on the Isen . Fastlinger's studies of the Fagana show that the Isengau is to be regarded as the main district of Fagan possessions and that the upper Isental in particular exerted an attraction on this clan. The fact that many families settled in and around Isen when Bavaria was settled is evident from the place names ending in -ing such as B. Pemmering, Penzing, Schnaupping, etc. emerge. The ending "ing" was added to the names of the original Bavarian settlements.

The name Fagana represents a characterizing epithet that since the Brothers Grimm with the Frohen or rejoice translates.

One of the main places of the Fagana was the Burgrain dominion . Atto der Kienberger , Bishop of Freising , acquired Burgrain in exchange from the Fagan Riphwin in 808, confirmation of the exchange was made by Charlemagne on May 4, 811. The place Vagen ( fagana locus around 948) on the Mangfall river , which up to In the 10th century Fagana (later Fagen or Vagen) was called, is attributed to the noble family of Fagana. The lords of Vagen derived from it are attested to the 13th century. The claim that Vagen was a main place of the Fagana is rejected by the more recent historical research, also a derivation of the name of Einfang (= clearing land) is considered.

In conclusion, it can be stated that the Fagana clan played important political roles as comites and advocati until the 10th century .
