Friedrich (Freiburg)
Friedrich (* 1316 in Freiburg im Breisgau ; † November 9, 1356 ibid) was Count of Freiburg and Landgrave in Breisgau, son of Conrad II and Catherine of Lorraine.
Life
After the death of Konrad II, his son Friedrich took over the rule in Freiburg in 1350. Soon he got into a “dispute with his stepbrother Egino about the wild banks and mines in Breisgau, old fiefdoms from the Basel monastery. Her feudal lord, Bishop Johann von Basel , decided in 1351 that half of Egen should be ceded ”.
Like his predecessors, Friedrich piled up new debts. When the city had to pay for claims of 700 silver marks, the council forbade Friedrich in 1353 to set up new Pfandbriefe. In order to ensure this, the count should "hand over his seal to three nurses appointed from the council and they should put it in a place where the count could also come to the council".
After his death on November 9, 1356, on November 28, "Bishop Johann von Straßburg in the name and on behalf of Charles IV transferred Count Egen with the imperial fiefs and took him under oath and duty". But now there was the addition in the constitutional charter of Freiburg, "that if a gentleman in Freiburg dies and leaves no son, the citizens should marry the eldest daughter". On December 29th, the city adopted Friedrich's daughter Klara as mistress of Freiburg.
Marriage and offspring
Count Friedrich married Anna von Hachberg-Sausenberg († February 28, 1331), the daughter of Margrave Rudolf I von Hachberg-Sausenberg . With her he had a daughter:
- Clare (1321-1368)
In his second marriage he married Mahaut de Montfaucon , the widow of Count Richard de la Roche.
