Ulrich I. von Walsee
Ulrich I of Walsee († 13. December 1329 ) from which Ministerialengeschlecht the Walseer , follower of Duke I. Albrecht was 1299-1329 Styria Governor . He became the founder of the Walsee-Graz line, which was also called "Walsee ob der Steiermark" and, with Ulrich II. Von Walsee and Eberhard VIII. Von Walsee, provided two other captains in Styria.
Life
Of all the sons of Eberhard III. Ulrich I was the most outstanding personality of Walsee. Like his older brothers Eberhard IV (founder of the Walsee-Linz line) and Heinrich I (founder of the Walsee-Enns line), he grew up in Swabia , but only came to Austria much later than these two . His younger brother Friedrich I became the founder of Walsee-Drosendorf, the fourth line on Austrian soil. Ulrich's first marriage in 1294 already pointed to Styria, where he then made his home and established the Walsee-Graz line.
Albrecht I appointed Ulrich I von Walsee, Eberhard IV von Walsee and Hermann von Landenberg as advisors to his son Rudolf . Ulrich I moved with Rudolf via Vienna to Wiener Neustadt , where the Styrians paid homage to the young duke on March 12, 1299. There Ulrich was appointed captain of Styria in agreement with the Styrian estates, in which he already owned goods. Soon after, Ulrich took up residence in Graz Castle .
In the following years Ulrich I undertook several campaigns that were determined by King Albrecht's imperial policy. In July 1301 he took part in the siege of Bensheim on Bergstrasse , in 1302 he was again on the Rhine with 100 Styrians.
When, after the death of Rudolf I in 1307, fighting for the succession to the throne broke out, Ulrich I was the commander in Brno for six months . At the end of 1307 Ulrich I and Friedrich von Heunburg occupied the city of St. Veit , after which Ulrich I administered the conquered parts of Carinthia for the Habsburgs and did not return to Graz until the winter of 1307/08.
In the controversy over Germany's succession to the throne, Ulrich I accompanied Friedrich the beautiful in the spring of 1314 on the procession he took to campaign for election in the foreland and the Upper Rhine. In Styria, Konrad von Drauburg was his deputy for the duration of his absence. Ulrich I stayed on the side of his master on the coronation trip and on the Upper Rhine in 1315. In the spring of 1316 Ulrich I and, for the first time, his son Ulrich II von Walsee took part in the campaigns in Swabia. Ulrich I stayed in the foreland with Duke Leopold I until the end of 1317 and did not return to Styria for a short time until the spring of 1318. In autumn 1319 Ulrich I moved with the imperial vicar Heinrich III. from Gorizia to northern Italy to fight against Cangrande I della Scala , the city lord of Verona . Padua was handed over to the Austrians on November 4, 1319, and Ulrich I was temporarily appointed governor on January 5, 1320. In the Battle of Mühldorf in 1322, Ulrich I and his wounded son Ulrich II were captured and taken to strict custody in Prague , where they were only released for ransom at the end of 1323 .
After the death of Heinrich von Gorizia, Ulrich I and his son Ulrich II von Walsee accompanied the Dukes Otto of Austria and Heinrich of Carinthia on the train to Northern Italy, where the Paduans had asked for help against Cane della Scala again in 1324. This campaign was unsuccessful, however, and the Habsburg-Görzische army returned home.
Ulrich I was the last of his brothers to die on January 29, 1329, after which his son Ulrich II succeeded him as captain of Styria.
Possessions
Ulrich I. von Walsee acquired the Riegersburg in 1299 and in the following years most of the estates of the Lords of Wildon and the Counts of Pfannberg , two noble families from Central Styria , both of which were in rapid decline.
