Coat of arms of those of Milwalt (tinctures unknown)

The Lords of Milwalt were a noble noble family with property and privileges on the Middle Rhine and in the Hunsrück .

coat of arms

Inclined beam ( tinctures unknown). It is possible that there were family ties to the gentlemen von Ehrenberg , who led a golden diagonal bar in blue. The two sexes appeared together several times in documents.

history

The family appears for the first time with Heinrich von Mylwalt in 1189, in two documents from Archbishop Philipp of Cologne .

Together with the noble von Walebach family (later Frey von Pfaffenau), the family held the patronage of the Liebfrauenkirche in Oberwesel and, in part, the associated tithe right. Each of them was entitled to three canons of the collegiate foundation founded on December 26, 1258 .

The family was often involved in conflicts. For example, Werner von Milwalt and his brothers occupied the Palatine Kaub , but according to a document dated April 15, 1289, they had to compensate the Count Palatine Ludwig for all damage caused by it. The Wepeling Dietrich von Milwalt was involved in the riots on the Schönburg , in which Werner von Schönburg called Randeck and Anton Wissmann von Schönburg were killed on August 17, 1341 . On 14 February 1436 Johann said of Milwalt the Counts of Katzenelnbogen the feud on. As a result, he was taken prisoner in 1438 and was only accepted after he had vowed to do nothing more against the count than his husband.

The sex appears to have died out in the mid-15th century. On December 8, 1455, Archbishop Jakob of Trier wrote a letter to Count Philipp von Katzenelnbogen against Johann Heiderich von Lorch, called Milwald, because Johann von Milwalt and Hermann Frey von Pfaffenau had their shares in the tithe right after the death of Johann von Milwalt and Hermann Frey von Pfaffenau as well as the patronage right over the Liebfrauenkirche without receiving these rights from the Archbishopric Trier, to which they belonged after the two sexes died out. In the following, these rights fall to the von der Leyen family .

Headquarters

The family seat is mentioned for the first and only time in 1262, when Hermann von Milwalt and his family gave the Count von Katzenelnbogen their castle as a fief . Their location is not mentioned here. There are various assumptions about the location of this castle, which range from Mielle or Miehlen to “between Rheinfels and Oberwesel” and “a farm in Mühlwald near Oberwesel” to Mühlpfad in the Hunsrück. More recent versions name the Old Castle near Laudert as a possible ancestral home of the family. This is supported by the properties in the immediate vicinity (the village of Maisborn was owned by the aristocratic family at the beginning of the 14th century, before Wepeling Theoderich von Milewald fiefdomed half of the village in 1330 and the jurisdiction of Mensborn Kurtrier in 1333 ) and the tithe rights in Laudert and surrounding places, as well as the close relationships with the nearby Oberwesel and the noble families resident there such as the von Schönburg. There may also have been closer ties to the von Braunshorn family , as they often appear together as witnesses in the documents. This is also supported by the fact that in a document from 1189 a Gundolf was considered to be a relative of Heinrich v. Milwalts is called. Gundolf was also the name of the first known Braunshorners in 1098 and practically only appeared in this sex. The ancestral castle of the Braunshorners is only a few kilometers away from Laudert.
