Irmgard von Rott
Irmgard von Rott , known as Countess Irmgard of Sulzbach (or: Ermingard of Rott , Irmengard of red ; † 14. June 1101 ), came from the daughter and heiress of the Kuno I of Rott and Uta of Dießen-Andechs the house of Pilgrimids .
Act
A vow, according to legend, in gratitude for the salvation of Count Gebhard II von Sulzbach after a hunting accident near the rock on which the Berchtesgaden collegiate church stands today, made Irmgard co-founder of the Augustinian Canons of Berchtesgaden Abbey . She had brought in the Berchtesgaden property from her first marriage to Count Engelbert V. from Sieghardingen as a widow's gift and in her vow ordered that a clerical community based on the idea of “communal life” ( “congregatio clericorum communis vite” ) should arise there. Irmgard was no longer able to initiate the foundation of the monastery himself: "Held up by various worldly affairs". Therefore, shortly before her death, she commissioned her son Berengar I von Sulzbach to promote the founding of the monastery for “her and his soul's salvation”.
In order to fulfill the maternal vow, Berengar I. von Sulzbach appointed canon Eberwin to the post of canon in the year of her death (1101) , under whose leadership he then sent three Augustinian canons and four lay brothers from the Rottenbuch monastery to Berchtesgaden. Probably between 1102 and 1105 his step-brother or half-brother Kuno II von Horburg traveled on behalf of Berengar I together with the provost Eberwin to Rome to visit Pope Paschal II , who confirmed the count's own monastery berthercatmen as a monastery foundation and "very likely" as early as 7 April 1102 placed under his protection.
family
Irmgard was married three times: First to Engelbert V., Count in Chiemgau (X 1078, Battle of Mellrichstadt ) from the Sieghardinger family , a marriage that remained childless. Irmgard brought the property he inherited, including a forest district, which later formed the heartland of the prince provost of Berchtesgaden , into his marriage with Count Gebhard I ( II. ) Von Sulzbach (1043/1071; † 1085 ) as a morning gift , with whom she the children Adelheid († before 1133) and Berengar I (* before 1080; † December 3, 1125) had. After Gebhard's death, she married Count Kuno von Horburg- Lechsgemünd , who is still known as the son of Kuno II or the younger von Horburg (* 1075 - 30 June 1138/39), who either comes from another connection Kunos , according to Walter Brugger et al., however, "there can be no doubt" that Kuno II is also a child with Irmgard - which, however, raises further questions because of the year of his birth, including the order of their marriages.
Several reasons are suspected that Irmgard went down in history as Countess von Sulzbach . Her last marriage to Count Kuno I von Horburg was shorter than her previous marriage to Count Gebhard II von Sulzbach, and with her burial in the Kastl monastery founded by the Sulzbacher family, Irmgard "returned to the lap of this very traditional family" . In addition, her son Berengar I von Sulzbach, who decisively intervened in big politics, was the far more dominant personality in contrast to his step-brother or half-brother Kuno. Some of his children were married to the nobility .
