Lubbe Sibets

East Frisia at the time of the chiefs .

Lubbe Sibets (attested 1397 ; † 1420 ) was an East Frisian chief at Burhave in Butjadingen .

Life

Lubbe Sibets was the son of Sibet Hunrikes, who is addressed in a document from 1384 as "hovetlingh to Waddensen" ( Waddens ) and is considered the first local chief in this Butjadinger parish. Together with the chief of Bant Edo Wiemken the Elder and as an ally of the city of Bremen , he fought against the chief of Esenshamm Husseko Hayen . His son, who was not named, presumably Lubbe, vouched as a hostage in Bremen for his loyalty to the Alliance.

In 1397, Lubbe Sibets himself appears as a contractual partner of the city of Bremen, acting politically. Like his father, he was in close contact with Edo Wiemken, to whose daughter Frouwa he was married to his first marriage. In 1409 he was chartered in Burhave. His brother Memme Sibets appears at the same time as chief to Waddens. Presumably, the chieftain's right in Burhave had passed to her son Lubbe through her mother, who was not known by name, while Memme Sibets took over her father's inheritance.

In Butjadingen Lubbe Sibets remained one of several parish chiefs, but he never achieved the position of Butjadingen regional chief. His dominant center was the church at Burhave, which he fortified so strongly that in 1419 the people of Bremen called it “de vasteste kercke” in all of Friesland . However, when the rural population of the country rose up against the local chiefs of Butjadingen in 1418 in alliance with Bremen, the church did not save him. Lubbe Sibets was expelled after conquering the church in 1419 and lost its public rights. Only his private property was left to him.

In October 1420 he - like his brother Memme and other Butjadinger chiefs - is attested in the vicinity of his son Sibet von Rüstringen and is said to have lived in Kniphausen afterwards .

family

Lubbe Sibets was first married to Frouwa, the daughter of Edo Wiemken the elder. The son Sibet Lubben (also Sibet Lubbenson , attested 1416; † 1433) comes from this marriage . In his second marriage he was married to Eva, daughter of Tanno Diuren (also Duren) von Wittmund from the Kankena family of chiefs. The sons Hayo Harlda (attested in 1420, † 1441), the later chief of Jever , Ineke Tannen and a daughter Rineld, who later married the chief of Kniphausen , come from this marriage .
