Sophia (bar)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sophia von Bar (French: Sophie de Bar ; * around 1018 ; † June 21, 1093 ) was Countess of Bar between 1033 and 1092 .

She was the daughter of Friedrich II. , Count of Bar and Duke of Upper Lorraine , and Mathilde of Swabia . After the death of her father, she won the inheritance disputes in 1033 and was with the Lützelburg and the city of Bar-le-Duc invested . In 1038 she married Ludwig von Mousson , Count von Mömpelgard , Altkirch and Pfirt , and gave birth to seven children. Mathilde von Tuszien was one of her cousins.

Countess Sophia of Bar, Mousson and Amance eased in 1076 a Lady Chapel at the castle of Amance quit that already from her grandfather Dietrich I started. In Laître-sous-Amance , she founded a priory in 1088 , which was under the Abbey of Saint-Mihiel and which lasted until 1592. It came to cooperation with the Bishop of Toul . With the abbess of Saint-Mihiel, on the other hand, Sophia had already got into a dispute in 1076 because she wanted to ensure that the church of Laître-sous-Amance , which had previously been dependent on Dommartin-sous-Amance , should now be subordinate to the Abbey of Saint-Mihiel. The abbot Siegfried, elected in 1076, had initially received the investiture (→ investiture controversy ) from Sophia in accordance with the old custom , later gave the abbot's staff to Pope Gregory VII out of repentance about the discrepancies with the canons when he was appointed, but was returned by him after absolution was granted used, as recorded in a document in 1147. In order to secure the monastery of Saint-Mihiel, which she ruled, Sophia built a castle on monastery property in 1090.
