Frambach from Birgel

Frambach von Birgel is mentioned for the first time in documents from 1269 and 1272 as the knight Winemar Frambach . He is assigned to the gender of the Herr von Birgel .

The document of January 28, 1269, which is in the Cologne City Archives , is sealed with the coat of arms of Birgel, which has the following inscription: WInIMERI FRANBALCh D'BIRGEL MILIT † . Translated and supplemented, this means: "(Seal) of the knight Winimer Franbalch von Birgel".

The second document dated February 13, 1269 is in the historical archive of the Archdiocese of Cologne . Last among the seal witnesses is: Wenemar marschalk de Frambalg, miles .

The third document , again from the Cologne City Archives, dates from 1272. The barely decipherable document begins with Ego Winemarus mareschalcus domini W (ilhelmi) comitis Juliacensis ... and it continues ... ex parte avunculi mei mareschalci dicti de Kelse. .. . So Winemar calls Marshal von Kelz his uncle .

The document from 1269 shows that Winemar was already Marshal of Count Wilhelm von Jülich at that time. The knight Engelbrecht Nyt von Birgel is mentioned in 1301. It was probably the son of Winemar Frambach von Birgel. The last Jülich hereditary marshal from the von Birgel tribe was Engelbert Nyt, who died in 1480.
