Heinrich (Freiburg)
Heinrich von Freiburg († 1303 ) was titular Count of Freiburg and Lord of Badenweiler , Neuchâtel , Auggen and the rule of Hausach .
Life
Soon after the death of Konrad I , the inheritance was regulated in a letter of division from 1272, with Heinrich receiving the city of Neuchâtel on the Rhine , the rule of Badenweiler and the rule of Hausach in the Kinzig valley. Because of the rule over Neuchâtel, there was a dispute with the Basel bishop Heinrich von Neuchâtel from the dynasty of the Counts of Welsch-Neuchâtel . This wanted the territorial rule of his bishopricexpand and acted as protector of the citizens of Neuchâtel against their count and prevented him in the spring of 1272 from taking over the rule of the city by force. The bishop and the city of Neuchâtel formed an alliance. Heinrich therefore supported Count Rudolf von Habsburg in his feud against the Bishop of Basel. Rudolf moved with his troops before Neuchâtel. Due to the strong fortifications, he did not attack the city, but destroyed the surrounding area. This guerrilla war continued in 1273, which caused the rural population to suffer greatly. After Rudolf's election as the German king, he accepted Neuchâtel as an imperial city, but demanded 10 percent of their property from the citizens as compensation for Heinrich, who also extorted ransom from his prisoners.
