Konrad II of Raabs

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konrad II. Von Raabs (* around 1125/1130; † around 1191) was burgrave of the medieval burgrave of Nuremberg from around 1160 to around 1191 .

Life

Konrad II. Came from the Earl of Raab , a noble family of Edelfreien whose name in Lower Austria situated Burg Raab had been borrowed. Konrad II. The son of Konrad I von Raabs , who, together with his older brother Gottfried II von Raabs, was awarded the castle hat over the burgraviate of Nuremberg around 1105.
Konrad II succeeded his cousin in the burgrave office around 1160, after he was expressly referred to as burggravius ​​de Norinberg for the first time in 1154 . Presumably he took part in his crusade to the Holy Land under Duke Leopold V of Austria in 1190 , and died in 1191 during the siege of Acre .

He himself had no male descendants, so that with his death the male line of the Counts of Raabs died out. Konrad II. Count von Raabs, Burgrave of Nuremberg, however, left two daughters

  1. Sophia von Raabs (* around 1170/75; † after 1204), heiress of Raabs and Nuremberg , of Cadolzburg and Abenberg; ∞ (1184) Frederick III. (* around 1139; † after October 1, 1200), 1171 Count von Zollern , since 1192/93 as Friedrich I. Burgrave of Nuremberg
  2. Agnes von Raabs (* around 1154, † after 1217), heiress of the western half of the county of Raabs, the so-called county of Litschau ; ∞ Count Gebhard II. Von Dollnstein (1215), Count von Hirschberg (1224), documented mention 1186 to 1191, (* around 1150; † 1229/1232)

After the death of Conrad II, his son-in-law Friedrich I. Count von Zollern took over his inheritance as Burgrave of Nuremberg and was presumably still in 1191 by Emperor Heinrich VI. enfeoffed with the burgrave office.
