Ulrich (Vice Count of Nablus)

Ulrich ( Latin Ulricus , French Olry ; * before 1100; † around 1155) was vice count of the reign of Nablus and lord of Vaux Moise .

He is first recorded as Vice Count of Nablus in 1115, when he is mentioned as a witness in a document from the King of Jerusalem. 1130 his brother Peter is also mentioned in a document next to him. The origin of the two brothers is not documented, but the combination of their names suggests a descent from the Counts of Brixey in Lorraine .

Between 1144 and 1152 he was enfeoffed with the castle and lordship of Vaux Moise in the southern East Bank. This castle was of some fiscal importance for the control of the caravan routes there for the king, but was subject to regular attacks by local Bedouins , which is why Queen Melisende now entrusted the security of the castle to Ulrich.

Ulrich had a son named Baldwin who inherited him when he died around 1155.
