      the Great
      Margrave of Meissen, 1127-1156
      Margrave of Lower Lusatia, 1123-1156
      Conrad the Great (c.1097–1157) was the Margrave of Meissen from 1123 until his retirement in 1156. He was the son of Thimo, Count of Brehna, of the House of Wettin and Ida, daughter of Otto of Nordheim. He was also Count of Wettin, Brehna, and Camburg from before 1116.
      In 1123, he became Count of Eilenburg. That same year, Lothair of Supplinburg, Duke of Saxony, appointed him Margrave of Meissen in opposition to Wiprecht von Groitzsch, the appointee of the Emperor Henry V. Lothair also named Albert the Bear Margrave of Lusatia, while Henry named Wiprecht to that march also. Wiprecht was unable to hold his own against his two opponents and in 1124 Conrad was securely in power in Meissen. In 1136, Lothair, then emperor, appointed him to Lusatia as well. Thereafter, Lower Lusatia alone. remained a part of Meissen and the march of Lusatia was reduced to Lower Lusatia alone.  In 1143, Conrad became Count of Groitzsch and Rochlitz and Vogt of Chemnitz and Naumburg. In 1147, while Conrad III of Germany was away on the Second Crusade, Conrad the Great joined Henry the Lion, Adalbert of Salzwedel, Albert the Bear, and the Archbishops of Magdeburg and Bremen to organise a Crusade against the Obodrites and Wagri. In August, Conrad and Albert, with the bishops of Magdeburg, Havelburg, and Brandenburg, massed their forces at Magdeburg. The Obodrite prince Niklot and his fortressess of Dubin and Dimin were besieged. Both he and Pribislav, another Obodrite prince, were forced to accept Christianity and make peace.  In the following years, he founded the monastery of St Peter auf dem Lauterberg (Petersberg), to which he retired on 30 November 1156. He died and was buried there next to his wife, Luitgard (Lucarda) von Elchingen-Ravenstein, daughter of Adalbert, Count of Elchingen-Ravenstein and Bertha of Hohenstaufen, daughter of Frederick I, Duke of Swabia and Agnes of Germany.  (Wikipedia)

      "Conrad the Great...was invested in 1127 with the dignity of margrave of Meissen by the emperor Lothair, who also conferred on him the margraviate of Lower Lusatia in 1136. In his disputes with his predecessor Henry of Eulenburg, he was taken prisoner by the latter, and, on his release after the death of his enemy, joined the crusade to Palestine, agreeably to a vow made during his confinement.  Wearied at length of the world, he determined to leave it, and, having given his arms and knightly insignia to the church of Meissen, he assumed the religious habit in the convent of Lauterburg, having previously divided his territories among his five sons.  He died two months afterwards, in 1157.  The prince first granted to the city of Leipzig the privilege of holding two annual fairs at Easter and Michaelmas, which have since conferred on it such great commercial importance." (Shoberl, pp. 9-10)

      "...Conrad...in 1127 received from the Emperor Lothair the investiture of the Margraviate of Meissen, and acquired that of Lusatia in 1136 by military achievements.  He joined a crusade to Palestine;  his piety was ingivorated by this approach to the holy sepulchre;  and, on his return, finding his bodily strength abated, he determined to assume the religious habit in the convent of Lauterberg.  He therefore consecrated his arms at Meissen, divided his worldly property among his five sons, and died in 1157."  (Shoberl in The Monthly Review, p. 65)
      Otto the Rich
      1156-1190
      "Otho, the eldest son of Conrad, began to work the mines at Freyberg in Saxony, and was surnamed the rich, on account of the marked increase of prosperity which this undertaking diffused in his territories.  He was succeeded by his brothers Diederich and Henry; then by his sons Albert and Diederich...."  (Shoberl in The Monthly Magazine, p. 65)

      Albrecht I
      Margrave of Meissen, 1190-1195
      the Proud

      "ALBRECHT, margrave of Meissen, (son and successor of Otho the Rich,) called " the Proud " by some writers, reigned from 1190 to 1195. During the life of Otho, Albrecht, irritated by his attempt to transfer the inheritance to his younger brother Dietrich, kept him for some time a prisoner, and, obliged to release him by the emperor's commands, still carried on a war against him. Albrecht, after his father's death, took forcible possession of a large sum of money, which he had deposited for security under our Lady's altar in the monastery of Alten Zelle. Dietrich, to whom his father had left the territory of Weissenfels, laid claim to a share of the treasure, and on receiving a denial, formed an alliance with some of the neighbouring prelates who were inimical to Albrecht. Their united forces proved inadequate to keep the field against the margrave; and Dietrich, being obliged to seek additional assistance, was reduced to the necessity of marrying, in 1193, Jutta, daughter of Hermann, landgrave of Thuringen, who, according to the chroniclers, was " very ugly," in order to obtain the support of her father. An attack, made upon the lands of Weissenfels in January, 1195, was repelled by Hermann and Dietrich. About the same time that he experienced this defeat, the margrave learned that the Emperor Heinrich VI. was concerting measures to deprive him of the rich mines which were wrought within his territory: the otherwise unprosperous state of his affairs led Albrecht to endeavour to avert this storm by making his peace at court. With this view he undertook a journey to Italy, where the emperor then was, but returned without effecting his purpose. He died at Meissen on the 21st of June, 1195, while engaged in his preparations to resist the Imperial troops concentrating on his frontier. His death, and that of his wife, which took place only thirty days later, have been attributed to poison, some writers imputing the crime to the emperor, and others to the monks of Alten Zelle. Our accounts of Albrecht, as well those that are favourable to him as those that are otherwise, are derived from writers infected with the spirit of party, and little reliance is to be placed upon them. Enough however appears to indicate a bold and reckless spirit and stormy career.  (SDUK, P. 375

      "Albert, son of Henry, was surnamed the Degenerate;  he married Margaret, daughter of the Emperor Frederic II:  but, having fallen in love with a lady of her train named Cunegonda of Eisenberg, he attempted to have his wife smothered.  She, however, discovered the plot, and fled to her father, but died of regret and apprehension.  Albert then married his mistress, and diminished the family-domains as much as he could in favour of the children by the second wife.  He died in 1314...."  (Shoberl in The Monthly Magazine, p. 65)

      MONTFORT

      The Swabian Counts of Montfort were a German noble dynasty.

      The influential and wealthy counts of Montfort have their name from an ancestral castle, "Montfort", which was situated quite close to today's Swiss border near Götzis in Vorarlberg.


      They had the lordships of Feldkirch (until 1390), Bregenz (until 1523) and Tettnang (until 1779) and had territorial impact in Upper Swabia and particularly Vorarlberg, most of which they ruled. The counts of Montfort were until the 18th century a remarkable family of high nobility, the most important in the region of Lake Constance, but went finally extinct. In a number of places, including Feldkirch, Bregenz or Langenargen there are signs of their history.


      The Montfort counts derive from rulers of the county palatine of Tübingen and had Bregenz and Tettnang as their main seats. In 1780 the county was sold to Austria in order to pay debts. The dynasty became extinct in 1787 upon the death of Count Anton IV.
      The "Minnesinger" Hugo of Montfort was count of the Bregenz branch.
