Jutta von Rosdorf

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jutta von Rosdorf (* around 1250 at Rosdorf Castle near Rosdorf ; † after 1305 at Schwalenberg Castle ) became Countess of Schwalenberg through her marriage to Count Albrecht I of Schwalenberg before 1274 .

Life

Although only a few documents have survived about Jutta von Rosdorf's life in which she is personally mentioned, she is of some importance as the ancestor of today's European nobility. She is an ancestor of Charles, Prince of Wales , King Juan Carlos I , King Philippe (Belgium) and Queen Beatrix (Netherlands) .

She was a daughter of Konrad von Rosdorf , who is documented between 1240 and 1248 and who was Count von Rosdorf for the Archdiocese of Mainz. Konrad's father, Jutta's grandfather Helmbold von Rosdorf (Helmboldus de Rostorp), was a witness and guarantor of the Fritzlar peace treaty negotiated by Archbishop Siegfried II von Eppstein in 1213 in what was then Hessengau . In 1250, Hildebold's granddaughter Walburgis (the elder) von Rosdorf, Jutta's sister, married Eberhard Wolff von Gudenberg at Gudenberg Castle in Hessengau. Walburgis and Jutta's uncle, a cousin of their father, Count Conrad von Hebel (Conradus de Hebelde, comes morans in Maden) was at the same time deputy for the still underage Landgrave of Hesse, Heinrich I (Hesse) , as the counting count in the county of Maden .

Jutta von Rosdorf was directed with great pomp from the ancestral seat of the noble lords of Rosdorf, newly acquired in 1252 and 1266, Hardeg Castle in the County of Hardegsen and Moringen Castle in the County of Moringen , to the County of Schwalenberg in order to go to Schwalenberg Castle, Count Albrecht I, Son of Count Volkwin IV. (Schwalenberg) , builder of the new Schwalenberg Castle, to marry. Her husband, Count Albrecht I, referred to himself in documents as " dei gratia Comite de Swalenbergh ", as Count by God's grace , a term that up to now only emperors and kings had used. That shows a certain sense of class. Nevertheless, Count Albrecht I's rich dowry from his wife Jutta, with which she was endowed by her brothers, the noble lords Ludwig II of Rosdorf , Dethard I and Conrad von Rosdorf zu Hardegsen, came in very handy. That shows u. a. the sale of the tithe to Diemarden from this dowry to the Archbishop of Mainz Gerhard II von Eppstein in 1297.

In addition to her main role as the supplier of a regular owner, Jutta von Rosdorf's importance for the Schwalenberg family lies in the fact that she has given the county, which has already been weakened financially by the first divisions, new financial resources from the rich Rosdorf property and assets. As a result, Jutta's husband was allowed to act as a top witness in the memorable document of the Paderborn bishop Count Otto von Rietberg in 1294/95 , with which the bishop confirmed the legitimate acquisition of the Burg-Grafschaft Moringen along with church patronage from the diocese of Paderborn as an allod . With reference to the later illegal usurpation of the rule of Rosdorf-Hardegsen-Moringen, this document is of legal importance, since Duke Otto des Quaden's claim that this was a Brunswick fiefdom turns out to be a lie and the three documents related to it as subsequent documents Forgeries that were nevertheless taken over by Sudendorf in his document book.

progeny

There is documentary evidence of five sons and three daughters from the marriage of Countess Juttas to Count Albrecht I von Schwalenberg:

A) Children:

  • 1. Heinrich II. Count of Schwalenberg (around 1280–1349)

He was married to Countess Elisabeth von Kleve and Countess Mechthild von Rietberg. Heinrich had ten children, which makes Jutta von Rosdorf a grandmother more than ten times. Details under grandchildren.

  • 2. Gunter Graf von Schwalenberg (around 1275 – after 1310) Canon and Canon of Minden
  • 3. Konrad Graf von Schwalenberg (around 1275–1297) - named after Jutta's father Conrad von Rosdorf
  • 4. Albrecht II. Count of Schwalenberg (around 1280-1317)
  • 5. Ludwig Graf von Schwalenberg (around 1277–1298) - named after Jutta's brother Ludwig II von Rosdorf
  • 6. Jutta von Schwalenberg (-1305) - named after her mother
  • 7. Irmgard von Schwalenberg (–1308) married to nobleman Gottschalk von Plesse
  • 8. Luitgard von Schwalenberg (around 1285 – after 1340) married to Count Hermann von Pyrmont from a Schwalenberg branch

B) Grandchildren: of the children of their son, Count Heinrich II. Von Schwalenberg, were spiritual:

  • 1. Jutta von Schwalenberg (–1357) first a nun, then abbess von Gandersheim
  • 2. Henry III. Count von Schwalenberg (- after 1369), Canon and Canon of Braunschweig
  • 3. Irmgard von Schwalenberg (-1358) was first a nun in Mariensee, then in Gandersheim
  • 4. Wilbergis von Schwalenberg (-1329) was a nun in Mariensee

Family tree assignment

It has been proven that Jutta von Rosdorf lived and was married to Count Albert I. von Schwalenberg. Their family assignment, however, is unnecessarily controversial. In panel 87 of his Europ. Detlev Schwennicke Jutta von Rosdorf (the elder) keeps family tables as the daughter of Konrad von Rosdorf. Erwin Steinmetz, on the other hand, classifies Jutta von Rosdorf (the elder) in his family tree as the daughter of Dethard von Rosdorf.

Frederik D. Tunnat, who follows Schwennicke in terms of content, refers in his essays about the Rosdorfs to the newly translated document on the acquisition of Moringen in the State Archives of Münster, Principality of Paderborn No. 323, while Steinmetz refers to the incorrect and incomplete document Westf. UB IV No. 2595 refers. Steinmetz's conclusions in the 1982 essay are largely wrong, both with regard to Juttas von Rosdorf and her ancestors, father and descendants, and with regard to the acquisition of Moringen by the noble lords of Rosdorf. Moringen legitimately acquired these from the diocese of Paderborn - without the support of the Counts of Schwalenberg as claimed by Steinmetz - as Bishop Otto von Rietberg expressly confirms in the document. The conclusions of Sudendorf and Steinmetz regarding the forced eviction and the subsequent alleged acquisition of the noble lords of Rosdorf's own property by Duke Otto den Quaden thus also prove to be factually incorrect. The two related documents in the document book of the Dukes of Braunschweig are crude forgeries. Contrary to the assertion by Sudendorf and Steinmetz that the Rosdorf residents died out shortly after 1391, three Thuringian-Meissnian documents from 1394 to 1399 and four Hessian feudal documents from 1428 to 1524 show that the Lords of Rosdorf were initially donors in Thuringia after 1379 Duke Balthasars of Meissen and Thuringia as well as the buyer of new allodes and fiefs such as Dorf and Burg Mihla appeared and later in Hesse, partly through new fiefs (Burg Normannstein), partly by taking over fiefs from their relatives from Hebel, until well into the 16th century respected nobles existed at the court of the landgraves.
