Barons of Sagogn
The barons of Sagogn or von Sagens were a noble family in the Surselva in the Swiss canton of Graubünden in the 12th and early 13th centuries . Its ancestral seat was the Castle Schiedberg near Sagogn . After 1200, the Sagogn house is best known for the barons of Wildenberg and Greifenstein .
In the Gammerting documents, in which the brothers Ulrich and Konrad von Gammertingen transferred their entire property in the Upper Engadine to the Bishop of Chur, Chuno de Sagannio is listed as a witness in 1237/39 . In 1149 and 1160 the Sagogn Nobiles are mentioned for the first time . Further members of the family appear in the documents up to 1251.
In 1126 Hemma von Sagogn- Wolfertschwenden founded the Rot monastery near Biberach together with her son Cuno von Wildenberg . From 1126 to 1302 it was repeatedly endowed with foundations. Chuno, Friedrich, Rudolf, Heinrich von Sagogn / Schiedberg as well as Heinrich I and II: von Sagogn / Wildenberg Henrici duo fundatores de Wildenberch are named as donors . The support of the monastery over the centuries can be explained by the origin of the Sagogner from Swabia. The main line of the Sagogner family was represented for a long time by their most important representative Reinger von Sagogn. He first appeared in 1204 and died in 1252.
In the first half of the 13th century, the line of the barons of Greifenstein split off, who later referred to themselves as the barons of Wildenberg. After 1250, the original line from Sagogn split into various subsidiary lines: on the one hand to Grüneck near Ilanz and to those of Friberg . With Rainer von Friberg, the entire house of the Lords of Sagogn died out around 1330. After the Sagogn-Wildenberg family died out, Schiedberg Castle was inherited by the Counts of Werdenberg-Heiligenberg in 1320 .
