Usslacht (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usslacht even Uslacht and Uschlacht (probably Uschlag , Uslach , Uzlaht , Uslait , Uslayth ) is the name of the 13th and in the early years of the 15th century expressed the north Hessian noble family . It can only be documented through occasional mentions of individual family members. It is not to be confused with the Goslar council dynasty, the von Uslar family, or the Lower Saxon nobility dynasty of the Barons von Uslar-Gleichen .

Headquarters

The family's ancestral seat was probably the village of Uschlag about 7 km east of Kassel , today part of the community of Staufenberg in the district of Göttingen in southern Lower Saxony . However, she also had important property near Zierenberg and in the vicinity of Malsburg Castle .

history

The first documentary mention is probably that of the year 1242, when the convent of the Berich monastery stated that Ludwig von Uslacht and his daughter Lutgardt had transferred two thirds of their hooves to the convent in Altenstädt and that the convent had the remaining third for 6 talents from Isentrud von Uslacht bought.

In 1243 a knight Heinrich von Uslar appears as a witness in a document from the Aulisberg monastery ; he is referred to as Heinricus de Uslait in 1252 and as Heinricus de Uslach in 1265.

Another Heinrich von Uschlacht donated the tithe for Rohkotzen to Hasungen Monastery in 1295.

The next of the sex is the knight Tyle / Tile / Diele von Usslacht , who is wealthy in the Zierenberg and Grebenstein area - also as Thilo von Uschlacht and Dieterich von Uslacht. In February 1356, Landgrave Heinrich II of Hesse named him as one of the two Hessian members of a Mainz- Hesse court of arbitration . In February 1364 he and his brother Heinrich pledged their house in Grebenstein with their garden in front of the city to Johann von Haldessen . In May 1365, Diele von Usslacht is mentioned as a participant in a raid by landgraves against Unrode (between Fritzlar and Obermöllrich ), where the control room in the Mainz city of Fritzlar was broken down, the archbishop's courtroom , gallows and straightening wheels were destroyed and fields were plundered and devastated.

In the years 1357-1367 bequeathed members of the family to their souls a pension and numerous plots, especially gardens, in the later desolate fallen village Rohrbach in Zierenberg the Hasungen Abbey , and in 1376 over pointed Heinrich von Uslacht accrued to him in this village Fruit interest to the Monastery.

The best documented and probably most prominent member of the family was Heinrich, who appeared in the last quarter of the 14th century and acted as district judge. In 1377 he pledged his entire property in what was then the church village of Rangen bei Zierenberg to Hermann von der Malsburg ; the pledge was evidently no longer redeemed and the small town remained in the possession of those from the Malsburg. On September 14, 1386, Heinrich von Usslacht and Gerlach von Lynne announced that they had prescribed a grain gel from their farm and property in Heckershausen to two sisters from Schachten , nuns in Ahnaberg and, after their death, to the convent in addition to a piece of equipment belonging to the late Otto von Wichdorf would have. The same Heinrich von Uslacht was in March 1390 one of the two witnesses that the Hessian Landgrave HermannII. Citizens of Kassel reported a conspiracy that resulted in a number of executions . In September 1391, or only 1394/95, Heinrich von Usslacht was named as a member of the Knight Society of the Sickle. In September 1396 Heinrich von Usslacht was one of Landgrave Hermann's three negotiators who negotiated with Hans and Hermann von Wintzigerode the handover of Allerburg Castle to the Landgrave. On January 28, 1397, the district judge Heinrich von Usslacht was a contractual partner in a Wittumsvertrag , on December 15, 1398 he is referred to as the “district judge of peace”, and on April 16, 1401 he ruled together with other district judges from Hesse and Braunschweig in a pilgrimage . In both 1400 and 1402 Henrich von Uschlacht and other Hessian knights took part in feuds against Fritzlar in Mainz . The last known documentary news about him comes from June 27, 1402.

The widow Kunne von Ußlacht, mentioned on August 14, 1421 in a regest of Landgrave Ludwig I of Hesse, who as Wittum held the minor and major tithe in Rengshausen , is likely to be the widow of the district judge Heinrich; with her the von Usslacht are mentioned for the last time.
