Lieli (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Lords of Lieli (also Liele , Liel or Liela ) were a ministerial family in the wake of the Counts of Kyburg , later the Counts of Habsburg . Their ancestral seat was the Lieli Castle of the same name, today called "Nünegg" (Neun-Eck) after the shape of the ruined palace building, in the village of the same name, Lieli , which is part of today's Hohenrain community . Five generations from the 13th and 14th centuries are known.

history

The Lords of Lieli probably belonged to the barons earlier, but appear as vassals of the Counts of Kyburg from the first mention in 1223 . They owned the headquarters as their own ( Allod ), plus the lower jurisdiction of Lieli, Sulz and Mosen . They also owned free float in the Seetal and Freiamt , as well as the Kyburg feudal fishing on Lake Hallwil and Habsburg deposit income . They promoted the German knights Coming from Hitzkirch and the Johanniter Coming Hohenrain by way of donations; several from the family entered the two knight houses.

Presumably as a result of a division of property, they built the castle " lower Lieli " as a fief of the Kyburg family , also called "upper castle Richensee" because of its proximity to the likewise Kyburg town of Richensee .

The last male representative died before 1357, the last female representative before 1400. The two parts of the rulership passed to the two related families: Lieli to the barons of Schönau , the lower Lieli to the lords of Grünenberg . Both castles were destroyed around 1386 in connection with the Battle of Sempach . Because the lower Lieli was rebuilt by Hemman I. von Grünenberg, it was named "Grünenberg", which the facility has kept as a ruin to this day. The Schönau sold their part in 1431, the Grünenberg the other part in 1437 to the lordship of Heidegg .
