Haolde

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Family table of the Haolde and their presumed descent

The Haolde (or Haholde ) were only a fragmentary family of counts who held office in the 10th and 11th centuries in the western part of the Paderborn - Warburg area and in southern Lower Saxony . According to Reinhard Wenskus, the headquarters of the Haolde are believed to be in Lehmhausen in the Leinegraben . The sex is likely to have been related to the neighboring Esikonen and also to the Erpones . Donations from members of the house (Haoldus, Hoboldus, Hoaldus) to the Corvey monastery are reported in 856/857 and 900/916.

The two places Holtershausen and Brunsen in the Northeim district , which were first verifiably mentioned as Haholdeshusen and Brunessen, may have been foundations or former property of the Haolde (Haold I had a brother and a son named Brun). A Saxon noble farm Haholdeshusen is said to have existed as early as the 8th century, which was mistakenly believed to be the nucleus of today's Bad Arolsen . On June 29, 1148, Haholdeshusen reappeared in a document from the Gandersheim Monastery when Count Hermann II of Winzenburg 14 Hufen Land u. a. in Haholdeshusen and Brunessen for the Schildberg Castle near Seesen . A Hahold de Ruden and Hahold de Burnham are listed as witnesses in this document. Furthermore, the still existing influence of the Haholde in the 12th century can be proven in the region around Holtershausen by means of further documents.

Haold I.

After the death of the Conradin Duke Eberhard von Franken in the battle of Andernach in 939 , King Otto I seized his property and enfeoffed loyal followers with it, including mainly Saxon nobles in the Franconian-Saxon border area. Among them was a Count Haold (or Hahold), who is notarized in 949 when Otto I transferred a Hufengut ("mansa") in the Ittergau ("Nitherga"), which had previously been held as an imperial fief, to him alongside other royal estates. Haold's county also extended into the Brukterergau west of the Ittergau in 966 . Haold was related to the Ottonians through his mother, a Liudolfingerin , and one of his sons was named Brun.

In 946 this Count Haold, with his brothers Brun and Friedrich I and his sister Wichburg , founded the women's monastery Geseke in honor of the Holy Virgin and St. Cyriakus , which Otto I confirmed six years later and took under his protection. Haold became Vogt of Geseke Abbey and Wichburg became the first abbess . In this document Haold is given the name “de Anehald” - an indication of his Saxon descent. In 952 Wichburg donated the "Almundoraf" settlement, today's Brilon district of Alme, to Geseke Abbey .

Wichburg by Geseke

Wichburg von Geseke (also Wichburga), the sister of Haold I, was from 952 until her death in 984 the first abbess of the Geseke dynasty, founded in 946 by her brothers Haold I, Brun and Friedrich and her direct imperial abbey during her tenure.

Haold II.

In 1011 another Count Haold is mentioned, probably a grandson of the aforementioned Haold. On April 10, 1011, King Heinrich II gave the county of Haold, who obviously died without an heir, and thus the area around Geseke , to Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn . Haolds Grafschaft extended over 16 different small areas and places, in which other counts also had rights, and was spatially very fragmented.

Haold II had a brother, Friedrich II, and a sister, Wicsuit (Wigswid), who was the second abbess of Geseke Abbey.

Haold III.

In a certificate issued by Emperor Konrad II in 1030 , a count "Haholde Pathberch" is mentioned, who died in 1029 and inherited a castle on a mountain above the Diemel in Ittergau from his ancestors . This castle, on what is now called "Alter Hagen", the Padberg, is said to have been completed in 972. Since Haold II. Had no male descendants, Haold III. a son of Frederick II and thus nephew of Haold II. Haold III. lived in cohabitation with the daughter of a Count Bernhard. The future Counts of Padberg presumably originate from this connection , as the seat of Padberg Castle was named when they were sold to Kurköln in 1120 .

Bernhard

Bernhard was probably a son of Haold III. from his cohabitation. Ibike, Erpo I. and Weganus are known to be children from his marriage to Hazecha. The Counts of Padberg descend from him, who died out in the male line in 1120 and whose county was sold to Kurköln by Beatrix, widow of Erpo II . Also Hildegund , abbess of Geseke is called the daughter of Bernard.

According to Edgar Lüüs, Godescalcus, Otto and Wecelo are descendants of Weganus. Diether Pöppel sees these three as the ancestors of the Lords of Padberg .

Dodiko

Dodiko von Warburg is also counted among the Haolden . He may have been a grandson of the first and brother of the second Haold. In the first decades of the 11th century he ruled from his castle on the Wartberg in Warburg large areas in the Saxon Hessengau , Ittergau and Nethegau . His property extended from Höxter in the north to far south in the north Hessian area. After his intended heir, his only (illegitimate) son, had a fatal accident in a riding accident in 1018, Dodiko signed a " precarious " contract with Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn . In it he bequeathed all of his possessions to the Paderborn bishopric , but retained their use for the rest of his life. Dodiko died on August 29, 1020.

Sigebodo

Sigebode I. was the brother of Dodikos.
