Valley (noble family)
The Counts of Valley were a sideline of the Counts of Scheyern , who had their headquarters in Valley on the upper reaches of the Mangfall in the Miesbach district . The Counts of Valley founded the Augustinian canons of Bernried am Starnberger See in 1121 and were also governors of this monastery until they died out in the male line in 1268 . Their sphere of influence extended as far as the Pustertal , where they were entrusted by the Freising Bishop in the second half of the 12th century with the bailiwick of the Innichen monastery . A welfare-loyal attitude was typical for this family .
history
Otto de Grube (named after Grub am Mangfallknie, but also called Otto von Dachau or Otto de Ualein ) appears for the first time on October 16, 1102 as a witness for Bishop Heinrich I von Freising in the founding document of Dietramszell Monastery . Through his marriage to Adelheid von Weilheim he came into the Grub inheritance of the Sachsenkamer . He moved his seat from Burg Grub to the new Burg Valley , after which his successors were named.
His two children, Konrad I and Mathilde, both married into the Morit- Greifenstein family . Otto II from the marriage of Konrad I, succeeded his uncle Arnold von Greifenstein in 1165 as Vogt of Innichen . Mathilde and her husband are considered to be the founder of the St. Maria in der Au monastery . Konrad II married into the Ortenburger family , one of the most influential families in Bavaria. The sister of Konrad II, Mathilde, was married twice, once to Count Siegfried von Lebenau and then to the free Heinrich von Trixen .
After the last of the family, Otto III. von Valley, the ducal line of the Wittelsbach drew the possessions to itself. The Burg Valley was given to ministerials .
The estates of the Counts of Valley were scattered; Fixed borders of a county ("Mangfallgrafschaft") cannot be drawn. The focus was on Scheyern , Dachau and Valley as well as possessions in the Inn and Puster Valley. The Counts of Valley were buried in the Schäftlarn monastery . This pen, but also Weihenstephan Monastery , Monastery Bernried , Benediktbeuern Abbey and Stift St. Paul in Lavanttal were promoted by the family with numerous donations.
