Ulrich I. (Istria-Carniola)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Count Ulrich I ( Udalrich I ) († March 6, 1070 ) from the House of Weimar-Orlamünde was Margrave of Krain (1050 / 58-1070), Margrave of Istria (1045 / 60-1070) and Count of Weimar (1067 -1070). Some sources also refer to him as the "Margrave of (Lower) Carinthia ".

Live and act

Ulrich's father was Poppo I of Weimar, his mother Hadamut of Istria († after 1040), the daughter of Count Werigand of Istria- Friuli and Willibirg, daughter of victory Hardinger Count Ulrich von Ebersberg († 1029).

In the struggle for the inheritance of the Counts of Ebersberg , who died out with Adalbero II of Ebersberg in 1045 , Ulrich was unable to assert himself seriously (July 12, 1045 inheritance negotiations in the presence of King Heinrich III at Persenbeug Castle , with a collapse). In Thuringia , too, his son Ulrich II should only be able to re-establish himself after 1090.

His cousin Wilhelm IV was betrothed to Sophia of Hungary († 1095), the daughter of the Hungarian king Béla I , but died in 1062 when he wanted to bring his bride home; Ulrich took his place and married the daughter of Arpad ( Sophia ... cuidam de Carinthia copulata ).

Ulrich, who was a supporter of Salier and had a good relationship with Hungary, expanded his Istrian territory in 1063 to Fiume (" Meranien "); his opponents were Aquileia and Venice .

In 1064 King Heinrich IV. Ulrich also awarded 20 royal hooves in Istria (Štih).

In 1067 his cousin Otto I died and Ulrich inherited him nominally as Count of Weimar.

After Ulrich's death in 1070, Count Markwart IV. Von Eppenstein - as related to the Ebersbergers - was probably responsible for the guardianship of Ulrich's children and was also in charge of the margravates.
