Schwanberg (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The lords of Schwanberg , also Schwamberg (Czech ze Švamberka , z Sswamberka , z Sswamberka and z Krasikowa ) were a ministerial family from the clan of the Burgraves of Pfraumberg ( Přimda ) in the Pilsener Kreis in western Bohemia, which with Ratmir von Skrziwin, chamberlain in the Pilsener district 1224-1247 first appeared in a document in Libri erectionem I. as the founder of the Mies monastery.

His great-grandson Bussek (Bohuslaw II.) Von Schwanberg, 1306 Burgrave von Pfraumberg, built the Schwanberg (Krasikow) castle near Tepl in the Elbogner district in western Bohemia before 1330. His descendants in the 14th and 15th centuries branched out in numerous lines, in particular with Hanowetz, Lestkowsky, Milikowecz, Muszkowsky and Krussina von Schwanberg. The Barons von Schwanberg (z Krasikowa) had ninth place according to the oldest Bohemian lordship order from 1501. Coats-of-arms association was with the Count's House of Rosenberg in Bohemian-Budweis on February 24, 1614 for Johann Freiherrn von Schwanberg as heir to his uncle Peter Wok, last regent of the House of Rosenberg, and with the Barons of Paar on November 28, 1665 for Karl Freiherr von Paar and his wife Franziska Polyxena, née Freiin von Schwanberg.

history

The family of the Lords of Schwanberg, who came from West Bohemia in the settlement area of ​​the West Slavic tribe of the Chods , had been living there since the 13th century and since 1330 at the Schwanberg Castle near the town of Krasíkov, Bohuslav II. (Bussek) from Haid (Bor) built. From this swan (en) mountain, presumably an old cult site of the Svantovite from pre-Christian times, the family named after the name of the mountain and the castle of Schwanberg leads the coat of arms of a white swan with a golden beak and golden feet. From the 14th century to the 17th century, the von Schwanberg family acquired numerous estates in western and southern Bohemia and were a widespread noble family with branches and twigs and descended from the main tribe House Hayd (Bor). The first family member who carried the title of nobility from Schwanberg was the builder of the castle on the plateau of the Schwanberg, the burgrave of Pfraumberg (Primda), Bohuslav II. Bussek from Bor u Tachova (Hayd, Haida).

From Kokašice (Kokaschitz), the Schwanbergs expanded their property to southern Bohemia in the 15th and 16th centuries. The sex, whose members were also given important political tasks, was divided into several branches. The members of the main branch included Bor , Krasíkov , Kuttenplan , and later Zvíkov Castle , Ratais , Grünberg , German Beneschau , Ronsperg , Blowitz , Mühlhausen , Orlík and Libějovice .

The greatest personality in this branch was Bohuslav von Schwanberg . His brother Hynek Krušina , captain of the Pilsen region, defended the city against the Hussites in 1431. On August 22nd, 1420, the Roman-German King Sigismund gave the brothers Bohuslav and Hynek Krušina von Schwanberg all property of the destroyed monastery of Nepomuk near Pomuk , on the property of which Hynek had the Grünberg Castle built in 1436 .

Bohuslav the Younger sold this property to Zdenko von Sternberg in 1464 . Bohuslav, an opponent of the King of Bohemia George of Podebrady , was one of the founders of the so-called Grüneberger Einheit ( Jednota zelenohorská ). In 1473 he bought Zvíkov Castle . He also owned Bečov , Leskau and Karlsberg . In 1484 a mutual inheritance contract was signed with the Rosenbergs in the event of the male lines becoming extinct. In 1651 Johann Wilhelm, the last member of the main branch, died without descendants.

Another important line was the von Pfraumberg family . They owned Rabenstein , Kynžvart and Weseritz , among others . This line died out in 1659. The most important personality was Johann Friedrich, court advisor and royal advisor, regional judge and captain of the Pilsen district.

Another branch of the family settled on Ronsperg since 1548 . Johann Georg was the highest chamberlain and after the death of Peter Wok von Rosenberg in 1611 inherited the property of the Rosenbergs, including Wittingau , Forbes , Rosenberg , Gratzen , but not without inheritance disputes. When the childless Peter Wok handed over the rule of Rožmberk nad Vltavou to Johann Zrinski von Seryn, the son from the marriage of a sister Eva and Nikola Šubić Zrinski , in 1597 and attributed Wittingau and Hohenfurth to him after his death, this led to disputes about the inheritance which came to a head when, in 1601, Rosenberger, who was over-indebted, sold the rule of Bohemian Krumlov to Emperor Rudolf II . The disputes were finally documented in 1610 in the will of Peter Wok, in which the relapse of the Rožmberk rule to the Schwanbergs at Zrinski's death was laid down and this had been preserved according to the old Wittingau and Hohenfurth hereditary process. Already in 1612 Johann Georg von Schwanberg received the rule of Rožmberk after the unexpected death of Johann Zrinski.

His son Peter († 1620) was the head of the district in Pilsen, took part in several campaigns himself and supported the estates with the delivery of weapons. He was a member of the registry office and was the highest judge under the Evangelical Lutheran King of Bohemia Friedrich von der Pfalz . In 1621 he was sentenced post mortem to the loss of his entire property during the re-Catholicization of Bohemia . King Ferdinand II of Habsburg had his property move in and handed it over to his victorious general Charles Bonaventure de Longueval, Comte de Bucquoy, in 1621 .
