Philip I of Viermund

Philip I of four mouth Nordenbeck and Bladenhorst (also of Virmundt or of Viermünden , * before 1470; † 9. November 1528 ) was Mr von Nordenbeck , Bladenhorst and Mallem and bailiff of Medebach .

Life

He came from the Hessian noble family von Viermund , who resided at Burg Nordenbeck . He was the eldest son of Konrad IV von Viermund , Herr von Nordenbeck and Fürstenberg , bailiff of Medebach, and his wife Margaretha von Hatzfeld zu Wildenburg. He had two younger brothers, Johann († 1510) and Ambrosius († 1539).

When his father died around 1493, his estate was divided among the three brothers. Philipp received half of the castle and rule of Nordenbeck and the office of Medebach. Johann received the other half of the castle and lordship of Nordenbeck and half of the court in Viermünden . Ambrosius received the rule of Fürstenberg.

In 1496, Philipp married Beatrix von Düngelen († 1514), daughter of Hermann von Düngelen , Herr von Bladenhorst, from whose right Philipp inherited the rule of Bladenhorst. There he founded the Westphalian line Viermund-Bladenhorst , which Bladenhorst held until 1624.

When his brother Johann died childless in 1510, his share went to Nordenbeck Philipp, while Ambrosius received half of the court in Viermünden. Ambrosius had meanwhile acquired the rule of Neersen on the Lower Rhine through marriage and sold the rule of Fürstenberg. He now sold half of the Viermünden court to Philipp. In 1519 Philipp also became lord of Mallem in the Duchy of Geldern (today's Netherlands, municipality of Berkelland ).

After the death of his first wife, in 1515 he married Margarethe von Schönfeld called Grasdorf, the widow of Mathias von Saasen.
