Frederick I (Veldenz)
Friedrich I. von Veldenz († April 10, 1327 ) was a count of Veldenz , whose grave slab is preserved in the provost church of St. Remigius , on the Remigiusberg near Haschbach .
Life
He was born as the first son of the ruling Count Georg I von Veldenz and his wife Agnes von Leiningen , daughter of Count Friedrich IV von Leiningen. The father had officiated since 1309 at the latest as the royal bailiff in Speyergau , his brother Walram von Veldenz († 1336) ruled as bishop of Speyer from 1328 . The mother's brother, Emich von Leiningen , was his predecessor in office from 1314 to 1328.
Friedrich I married Blancheflor († 1358), daughter of Count Johann II of Sponheim-Starkenburg and grandniece (on his mother's side) of King Rudolf of Habsburg in 1313 .
The couple had their son Georg, who is called Georg II von Veldenz-Lichtenberg, as the family resided at both Michelsburg and Lichtenberg Castle.
Count Friedrich I died - while his father Georg I was still alive - on Good Friday 1327 and was buried in the nave of the provost church of St. Remigius . His grave slab with a full figure is now in the choir chapel there.
Friedrich's unmarried son Georg II died in 1377 and rests in the Meisenheim Castle Church . The heavily damaged grave monument still exists here. With him the family line established by his father expired and most of their property fell back to his brother Heinrich II von Veldenz, who had inherited the county. His great-granddaughter Anna von Veldenz married the Wittelsbacher Stefan von Pfalz-Simmern-Zweibrücken and brought the Veldenz possessions into the Wittelsbach family .
