Randeck (noble family)
The Lords of Randeck were a noble family from the Palatinate who named themselves after the Randeck Castle near Mannweiler-Cölln .
Family history
The family has its beginnings in the early 13th century and evidently emerged from the Kolb von Wartenberg family , as did the von Bilenstein family .
The first sure and documented bearer of the name was Heinrich von Randeck, who was named as a witness in a comparison between Heinrich von Wartenberg and the Hane monastery in 1202 . As early as 1200 he acted as guarantor of King Philip of Swabia for a duty exemption for the Archdiocese of Trier . He reappears in 1212 as a witness in the treaty between Emperor Otto IV and Duke Ludwig I of Bavaria . Heinrich von Randeck is said to have been a grandson of Ulrich von Wartenberg. The similar coat of arms of the Kolb von Wartenberg and the Lords of Randeck also points in this direction.
From the early 13th century, the family can be shown, with no later than 1283, with Embricho of Randeck, the branch of the family of those on the eponymous family seat of Lowenstein and to Randeck called Lowenstein or burner of Lowenstein to Randeck seceded. From 1327 Johann von Randeck founded the Weissenstein branch , which was located near Mörsfeld .
Dietrich von Randeck, a grandson of Heinrich, served as Burgrave of Böckelheim from 1299 to 1303, and from 1322–1325 as Reich schultheiß in Oppenheim . In the 14th century the Randeckers were also castle men on Montabaur .
Heinrich V. von Randeck, a great-grandson of the ancestor of the family, held the dignity of abbot of the Cistercian abbey of Himmerod from 1327-1330 .
A generation later, Eberhard von Randeck († 1372) acted as dean of the cathedral in Speyer , was elected bishop of Speyer in 1363 , but had to resign because the emperor had appointed his confidante Lamprecht von Brunn to be shepherd.
With Adam von Randeck, the male line died out in 1537, inherited by their relatives Löwenstein called Randeck (died out in 1664) and von Flörsheim , into which family the last heir daughter had married.
It is unclear whether there is a relationship to the Swabian noble family von Randeck (also Randegg ).
