Heinrich von Hückeswagen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich von Hückeswagen (first mentioned 1176; † 1205 ) was Count von Hückeswagen .

Parts of the tenure of Count Heinrich von Hückeswagen were characterized by the fact that the Counts of Berg were unable to grasp. The Counts von Berg tried to make the Hückeswagen family dependent by enfeoffing them. This is shown by documents from the year 1189. Heinrich von Hückeswagen managed to remain independent of the Bergers by entering into a further fiefdom commitment to the Archbishop of Cologne ( Philipp von Heinsberg ). The result of the connection to Cologne was that from then on it appeared more frequently in documents of the archbishop, where he appeared as a witness. Count Heinrich supports King Otto IV. In a controversy for the succession to the throne of the German Empire, at the coronation in August 1198 the Count from Hückeswagen is present.
