East Frisia at the time of the chiefs .

Tanno Duren (attested 1442 ; † August 19, 1468 ) was an East Frisian chief in Jever .

Life

Tanno Duren was the (presumably) first son from the marriage of Hayo Harlda (attested 1420–1441), chief of Jever, with Ivese, daughter of Dide Lubben (attested 1384–1414), chief in the Stadland . His date of birth is unknown.

As chief of Jever he appeared on documents from 1442 to 1448 several times together with his brother Sibet († 1462), who then apparently remained in the background politically. In May 1442 he was named in connection with a peace agreement after a dispute between the East Frisian chief house Cirksena and the city of Hamburg around Wittmund . Tanno and Sibet had supported the Wittmund chiefs house Kankena , from which their mother was also descended, and its chief Tanne Kankena and at the same time pursued their own property claims in Wittmund. When the old, childless Tanno Kankena wanted to cede the town of Tanno Duren, the fight broke out again in 1456 and 1457. Tanno's opponent was now Sibet Attena , chief of Esens , who was allied with Ulrich Cirksena . From 1444 he called himself chief of East Friesland and tried to establish this claim to rule accordingly. Tanno, for his part, was allied with the Oldenburg Count Gerd von Oldenburg . In 1461 there was finally peace, in which Sibet Attena and Tanno finally settled their opposition and Wittmund remained in Attena's hands. To seal the peace, Tanno gave his daughter Tiadera (also: Tyader) Sibet's son Wibet as his wife. Tanno remained ruler of Jever and the immediate area. As under Hayo Harlda, the states of Östringen , Wangerland and Rüstringen (the old district of Bant) were initially independent. Tanno's rule was presumably confirmed by local authority elections, at least in the rest of Östringen and in Wangerland.

In Rüstringen, after the death of Hayo Harldas, the chief Edo Boing von Gödens , grandson of a sister of Edo Wiemkens the Elder , had inheritance-based claims to the position of the state chief, which on the other hand - probably from July 1444 - but also from Tanno and his uncle, the Chief Kniphausens , Lubbe Onneken was claimed due to elections. Several times there were therefore armed conflicts that brought Tanno Duren in 1456 and 1457 into the situation of a two-front war , as he was also fighting for Wittmund.

From 1454 onwards, Count Gerd von Oldenburg, as an ally of Tannos, also got involved in Rüstringen. Through his approach, however, he pushed the Rüstringen farmers to the side of Edo Boing. However, when he was captured in March 1457 during an invasion of the Ammerland , Tanno was able to take over the rule. In the period that followed, there was apparently a settlement with Edo Boing, who confirmed Tanno as Rüstringen's chief. Tanno received support for this from Lubbe Onneken, who only ever chartered as Chief of Kniphausen (Knipens), and from 1459 also from Chief Alke von Inhausen , who later also acted as the guardian of his son.

Marriage and offspring

Tanno Duren was married to Teite, a daughter of Ike "tor Oldeborch" from Wüppels . His second wife was then Almet von Werdum . When he died in Jever in 1468 , his son from his first marriage, Edo Wiemken the Younger (* around 1454; † 1511), was still underage.
