Lords of Wildon

Coat of arms of the Lords of Wildon 1242

The Lords of Wildon ( Wildon , Wildonier , Lords of Wildonie) were a Styrian Ministerialengeschlecht that the history of Styria in the 12th and 13th centuries, especially as the owner of the hereditary marshal - and the Truchsessenamtes significantly co-determined. After the Babenbergs died out in 1246 , they brought the Hungarians, then the Bohemians and finally in 1276 the Habsburgs into the country as "duke makers" . In 1325 the main line of the Wildonians became extinct, a branch line remained on Dürnstein (north of Friesach ) and in Arnfels until 1387.

Name variations

The name Wildon can be found in historical texts in many variations: Wildonie, Wildonia, Wildony, Wildonig etc .; the name of the Wildonier also as Wildonisere, Wildonisaere etc.

history

Coat of arms of Ulrich I von Wildon 1237

The ancestors of the Wildonians lived in Traungau : Richer von Eferding belonged to the Gundakare von Steyr clan , who were noble servants of the Traungau family even before 1122 .

Margrave Ottokar III. probably enfeoffed Richer with the Hengistburg before 1140 , which, however, already partly belonged to the Archbishopric of Salzburg and had lost its political importance. In the 1140s Richer carried the title “von Riegersburg ” after he had married the daughter of the Traisener Hartnid von Ort , who in 1142 is documented as “von Riegersburg”. At that time, the Riegersburg was the center of a huge deforestation rule that extended beyond Gleisdorf in the north-west , to the Hungarian border in the east and across the Raab in the south .

The sons of Richers, Hartnid, Herrand and Richer, were given the title "von Riegersburg" until the 1170s, but moved their headquarters back to the Hengistburg and named themselves after the one they built around 1170 on the Wildoner Schlossberg Wildon Castle .

politics

When Duke Friedrich II was ostracized in 1236 , the Wildonians turned to Emperor Friedrich II and thus achieved imperial immediacy with the other Styrian and Austrian ministerials. In 1239 Duke Friedrich succeeded in regaining sovereign power, and the Wildonians soon found themselves at his court. After the Babenbergs died out in 1246, they first favored the Hungarians as the new sovereigns, but turned away from them in 1259 and heaved the Bohemians in Styria into the saddle in 1260 ( Battle of Kressenbrunn ). After a lot of trouble with Ottokar's reign (ban on building castles in 1265, reclaiming of sovereign property, etc.), they set their hopes in Rudolf von Habsburg , helped to drive out Bohemia in 1276 and were awarded the Styrian marshal's office in 1277 . After a few years at Duke Albrecht's side, the time for an uprising had come again after King Rudolf's death in 1291, but the Wildonians lost the fight: They had to cede their fortress to Wildon in 1294 and lost a lot of influence.

art

A well-known member of the sex is Herrand von Wildonie (first documented mention 1248–1278), who appeared not only as a politician but also as a minstrel . He was strongly influenced by his father-in-law Ulrich von Liechtenstein .

coat of arms

The Wildonians' coat of arms was the sea leaf, the petal of the water lily.

In the battle of Kressenbrunn in 1260, the old Ulrich von Wildon carried the Styrian state banner, in which the colors of the Wildonian coat of arms, white and green, had already replaced the old state colors black and white. Ulrich's father Herrand I already had the panther in his seal in 1195.
