Friedrich von Schönburg (Czech Fridrich ze Šumburka ) was a Bohemian nobleman from the family of the Thuringian-Saxon noble family Schönburg .

biography

After the death of Bohuslav II von Riesenburg he became the guardian of his children. He did not maintain a good relationship with his neighbors, as he repeatedly made claims on their territories. The situation did not improve even after the arrival of the new Bohemian King Wenceslaus when the situation in Bohemia consolidated.

There were disputes with the Olomouc bishop Dietrich von Neuhaus ( Dětrich z Hradce ) when he had the Boršov fortress built on the west side of the Hrabischitzer dominion on the lands of the Bishop of Wroclaw. Finally he made peace with the bishop and promised to demolish the castle, a promise that he did not keep.

The Chronicle of Königsaal reports that finally the king himself had to intervene with an army in 1286/1287 against the predatory Schönburger. Wenzel occupied Moravian Trübau and Friedrich had to vouch for not disturbing the peace in the country. This commitment was just as meaningless as his promise, so that eventually his guarantors captured him and handed him over to the king. Wenzel took pity on him and instead of hanging him, he just cut off a finger as a warning.

With this he won Friedrich, who was now loyal to him. However, some of his followers continued their raids and contributions from the Hoštejn Castle. The king assembled an army once more and captured the robbery castle. Friedrich von Schönburg, Burgrave in Kaaden at Kaaden Castle , died in 1312. He is referred to in Czech literature as either "Bedřich ze Šumburka" or "Fridrich ze Šumburka".

(Note: As far as Friedrich III. Von Schönburg is concerned, the following should be noted:

  • Friedrich III. von Schönburg (dates?). In 1295 he was appointed district judge of the Egerland by the Bohemian King Wenceslaus II .)
