East Frisia at the time of the chiefs .

Hayo Harlda (attested 1420 ; † 1441 ) was an East Frisian chief in Jever .

Life

Hayo "Harlda" was the first son from the marriage of the Lubbe Sibets (attested 1397–1420), chief of Burhave in Butjadingen , with Eva, daughter of Tanno Diuren von Wittmund from the family of chiefs Kankena. Unlike his half-brother Sibet (attested 1416; † 1433), he was not related to Edo Wiemken the Elder - Sibet's mother Frouwa was Hayo Harlda's stepmother. It is first attested to in 1420 when he defended Jever against Ocko II tom Brok for Sibet - unsuccessfully - and was taken prisoner. In the alliance treaty between Sibet and Ocko of October 23, 1420 he still appears as Haye Lubbensone , in 1431 (December 21) he calls himself Hayo Harlde, to Jever, Wytmunde hovetling . He is said to have rebuilt Jever Castle, which was demolished in 1427 according to the contract, in 1428. With the self-designation as chief also "zu Wittmund" - which was only handed down in 1431 - he shows his affiliation to the Kankena, which was probably also politically relevant for him with regard to Östringen and Jever. It is unclear whether his nickname Harlda points to the Harlingerland and thus to an awareness of ancestry that was conveyed through his mother and oriented towards the Kankena.

Despite the demarcation from Sibet, who called himself chief to Rüstringen and Östringen , and whose Östringian chief authority apparently also applied to Jever, Hayo stayed with his half-brother in the East Frisian disputes around and after 1430. He allied himself with him, together with Focko Ukena von Leer, against the freedom federation of the Seven East Friesland directed against this under the Cirksena family . After Sibet's defeat and fatal wound near Bargebur on July 29, 1433, Hayo, together with Lubbe Onneken , his sister Rineld's husband, defended the Sibetsburg against the Hamburg and East Frisian besiegers, but had to give up after a few weeks due to lack of supplies. Since the castle had long served the Vitalienbrothers as a refuge, the Hanseatic League was not ready to give the castle back to Hayo and Lubbe. It was therefore demolished in 1435.

As a result, Hayo focused on Jever, after whom he later named himself. He also came into the possession of the Wangerland Oldeburg and apparently also assumed rulership functions for Östringen and the Wangerland. Presumably out of consideration for the local community movement that was critical of the chiefs during this time, he did not call himself, like Sibet before, chief of Östringen . Together with his brother-in-law Lubbe Onneken, however, he tried - recognizable for 1438 - for the chieftain's rights in Rüstringen and the old Rüstringen district Bant, which had not been exercised since Sibet's death. In doing so, Hayo and Lubbe apparently referred to inheritance claims that they derived from their relationship with Sibet, who died childless. The state community took this into account and, avoiding the term chief, chose both to hereditary vorstender and tutelere eres land in 1438 . However, Hayo continued to call himself Chief of Jever , thereby emphasizing the importance of Jever as the center of power in his area of ​​authority, which at that time had not yet merged into Jeverland .

Marriage and offspring

Hayo Harlda was married to Ivese, a daughter of the Stadländer chief Dide Lubben (attested 1384-1414), who was expelled from the city of Bremen in 1414 . Four sons can be proven from their marriage, including Tanno Duren (attested in 1442; † 1468), who was also chief of Jever. Hayo Harlda died of the plague in the autumn of 1441 .
