Ludolf II of Dassel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludolf II of Dassel (* before 1174, † after 1209) was Count von Dassel . He was the eldest son and heir of Count Ludolf I von Dassel .

In his time at the latest, his family was enfeoffed with Nienover Castle , the associated Solling and other rights associated with this county. This shifted the focus from Dassel to Nienover and the Weser.

Ludolf took part in the Third Crusade in 1189 . In order to finance his participation, he sold free float in Sülbeck (today's municipality of Nienstädt ) in 1188 , which the Counts of Dassel had acquired through their relatives with the Counts of Schauenburg and Holstein . In the following year he also sold the free float in Salbke that came from this relationship .

With his brother Adolf I. von Dassel he fought against Heinrich the Lion . Its fall brought them more property and an initially undisturbed expansion of their rule in southern Lower Saxony.

Marriage and children
