Marcrad II.

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marcrad II. ( Bl. 1148-1181 / 1182 or 1190) came from the right on the border to Germania Slavica in the area around Neumünster basic gorgeous been established, and old free niederadelig-rural family of Ammoniden . In the Holy Roman Empire he was a leader of the Holstein nobility as an overbode .

Life

He was the son of Marcrad I (bl. 1127–1170) and lived on an estate in Bornhöved . In addition, six farms near Arpsdorf have belonged to the family for several generations .

Marcrad II was first mentioned in September 1148 when he was listed as a witness with his father and brother in the corroboratio of a document issued by the Saxon Duke Henry the Lion regarding property regulations. His daughter Thanbrigge married the early Hanseatic wholesale and long-distance merchant Hugo von Hildesheim ; a second daughter became a nun in Hildesheim . It is known that he posed a strong threat to the earliest Counts of Holstein and Stormarn who were employed as foreigners . Marcrad II is said to have committed “crimes”. In addition, there were disputes over responsibilities with mayor with regard to bailiffs and personnel restructuring .

In the conflict about the deposition of Heinrich the Lion , Marcrad II was allied with him and was used by him as commandant of either the Siegesburg in Bad Segeberg or a castle in Plön . In 1181 Heinrich wanted to recapture the Ratzeburg fortress, which had been occupied by counts loyal to the emperor, with the support of Marcrad's court . However, this could not be realized due to a lack of time, as the army of Emperor Frederick I "Barbarossa" was approaching too quickly. Finally the city of Lübeck was besieged , and Heinrich was also loyal to it. The contemporary chronicler Arnold von Lübeck reports that during this time Marcrad II was also staying in the city. Ultimately, Friedrich I prevailed in the conflict. Marcrad II was from the Holstein Count Adolf III. - even a former supporter of Heinrich, who had switched sides, and also a former ward of Marcrad's father - expelled and sought exile in the Danish city of Schleswig . He died there a few months later. In other specialist literature it is stated that he lived until 1190.
