The original role of the holder of the title "Pfalzgraf", of which there was only one in each of the original German provinces, is not known although presumably it related to a function at the ducal court similar to that of the palatine at the court of the Carolingian emperors[1].� Whatever the origin and original reason for the title, it became attached as an honorific to the name of the geographical base of the family who held the position from time to time.� The Pfalzgrafen in the Rhine area were originally associated with Lotharingia.� Most of the holders of the title held land in the duchy of Lower Lotharingia.� At some point during the first half of the 12th century, the Pfalzgrafen became associated with completely different territories in Franconia and gradually came to be known as the "Pfalzgrafen bei Rhein".� Presumably by this time they had lost whatever administrative role they held in Lotharingia and acquired a broader role in relation to the central German monarchy.�

The first Pfalzgraf shown by contemporary records as clearly associated with Franconia was Hermann von Stahleck, who succeeded Heinrich von Babenberg as Pfalzgraf in 1141.� His predecessor "Pfalzgrafen von Lothringen" are shown in the document LOTHARINGIA, but the families of Hermann and his successors are shown here.� Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa" appointed his first cousin Konrad von Staufen as Pfalzgraf in 1156.� The territories assigned to Konrad were in the Rhineland and had no association with Lotharingia.� It is reasonable to consider him as the first �Pfalzgraf bei Rhein�.�

On Konrad�s death in 1195, the title passed to his son-in-law Heinrich von Sachsen, son of Heinrich "der L�we" Duke of Saxony and Bavaria who abdicated as Pfalzgraf in 1212 in favour of his son Heinrich II.� When Heinrich II died in 1214, Ludwig Duke of Bavaria claimed succession to the Pfalzgrafschaft, although he appears to have had no hereditary right.� His claim was challenged by the late Heinrich II's father.� The stalemate continued until Heinrich I died in 1227, when Duke Ludwig was left unchallenged as Pfalzgraf but resigned the position to his son Otto, who had married the younger daughter of Heinrich I.�

The "Bavarian" vote in elections to appoint the kings of Germany was attributed to the position of Pfalzgraf some time in the 1220s or early 1230s, both titles being held by Otto II Duke of Bavaria when he voted as such for the first time in 1237.� The process by which this occurred is far from clear.� The 1273 election of King Rudolf I marked an evolution in the role of the Pfalzgraf in the electoral process: after the electors agreed on the successful candidate, Pfalzgraf Ludwig II was appointed to elect the king on behalf of the whole body of electors.� A similar procedure was followed in the election of Henri de Luxembourg as King Heinrich VII[2]. �

By 1400, the territorial jurisdiction of the Pfalzgrafschaft included two broad areas on either side of the Rhine, extending from Mainz in the north to Speyer in the south.� The �left bank� territories were bordered in the west by the counties of (from north to south) Sponheim, the Rheingrafschaft, and Veldenz, with Zweibr�cken to the south and Leiningen surrounding completely by Pfalzgrafschaft land.� The �right bank� part straddled the river Neckar, with the county of Katzenelnbogen (the area around Darmstadt) and the territories of the Erbach family to the north, and Baden and W�rttemberg to the south.� Tolner provides a detailed description of territories added to the jurisdiction of the Pfalzgrafen, dated precisely, between the early 13th and late 14th centuries[3].�

Chapter 5.�� HERREN von BRAUNSHORN [BRONSHORN]

Braunshorn is located east of Kastellaun, about 5 kilometres south-west of Leiningen, about 25 kilometres south of Coblenz, in the present-day German state of Rheinland-Pfalz, Rhein-Hunsr�ck-Kreis.� The 4 Jul 1273 charter cited below records that the family sold Braunshorn to Ludwig Duke of Bavaria, Pfalzgraf.� M�ller says that the Braunshorn family moved to Burg Beilstein an der Mosel[151].� The Braunshorn family acquired an interest in Kessenich (see the document LIMBURG) in the duchy of Brabant before 1321.� Reference is also made to the heerlijkheid of �Brunshorn�, also a Brabant fief.� The Wikipedia entry for Kessenich refers to �de heerlijkheid Bronshorn�, in the area of Hunsel, Groot-Beersel, Uffelse(n), Haler en Castert (in the present-day Netherlands, just north of the Belgian border), with a map showing this area to the north of Kessenich[152].� No village named Bronshorn/Brunshorn has been found in present-day online maps of the area.� The suggestion is that this heerlijkheid took its name from �Braunshorn�, which the family continued to use after they sold their castle, the name evolving to Bronshorn/Brunshorn over time.� I am grateful to Bert M. Kamp for discussing this subject and some difficult aspects of the following reconstruction[153].�

Two brothers, parents not identified:�

Chapter 6.�� ERBACH

Reliable reconstruction of the Erbach family between the 12th and 14th centuries is challenging.� Schneider�s 18th century study reproduces numerous primary sources, but his genealogical table does not reflect the data contained therein and can only be described as wildly inaccurate[214].� Luck attempted to correct these errors in his late-18th century work, and added other useful sources, but his work, based on Schneider�s structure, is difficult to follow[215].� Simon, in the mid-19th century, published yet more sources, corrected some of Schneider�s and Luck�s errors, but still produced some surprising results.� The following reconstruction attempts to mirror the source material more precisely, but highlights several knowledge gaps, particularly in the 13th and early 14th centuries, which could only be filled by unsatisfactory guesswork.� Nevertheless, at present it represents the best which can be done pending the emergence of other sources.�

A.�� SCHENKEN von ERBACH

1. EBERHARD [I] von Erbach (-[1148]).� The Codex Laureshamensis records the death of "Eberhardus de Ertbach", in the same paragraph naming �Palatinus Reni comes frater imperatoris Cunradus� [Konrad von Staufen Pfalzgraf bei Rhein][216].� Simon dates this passage to the early years after Konrad�s appointment in 1147 and suggests that Eberhard [I] died in 1148[217].�

2. EBERHARD [II] von Erbach (-after 1184).� �De ministerialibus: Eberhardus de Erpach, Marquardus de Hirzberch...� subscribed the charter dated 1184 which records that �comes Boppo de Laufen� donated Gernsheim to Kloster Sch�nau[218].�

3. FRIEDRICH von Erbach (-after 1214).� �...Fridericus de Ertbach...� witnessed the charter dated 1214 under which Burchard Abbot of Bronnbach confirmed a donation[219].�

4. [GEORG von Erbach .� Schenk von Erbach.� Schneider names �Georg� as �erster Erd-Schenk der Chur-Pfalz� but cites no source on which he bases this information[220].� It seems possible that he assumed that �G. von Erbach�, shown below, was named Georg although this is not a name which is typical in the Erbach family.]�

5. [PHILIPP von Erbach (-after 1235).� Schenk von Erbach.� Schneider names �Philipp� as successor of Georg (he shows Philipp as Georg�s son in his genealogical table) but cites no source on which he bases this information[221].� Luck adds no information[222].� Simon refers to �den alten Turnierb�chern im Jahre 1235� which names �Philipp Schenk von Erbach� at a tournament in W�rzburg[223].� The accuracy of this information is unknown.]�

1. GERNOD von Erbach (-after 1206).� Schenk von Erbach.� �...Gernodus de Ertbach et ipsi fratres� witnessed the charter dated 1206 under which Heinrich Pfalzgraf bei Rhein confirmed the property of Kloster Bronnbach[224].� same person as...?� G--- von Erbach (-before 13 May 1223).� Heinrich VII King of Germany condemned Ludwig I Duke of Bavaria relating to his dispute with �ministerialem nostrum G. de Erpach...beate memorie� and return the latter�s fiefs to �minorem filium et filiam seniorem ipsius pincerne� by charter dated 13 May 1223[225].� m ---.� The name of G.�s wife is not known.� G. & his wife had [three or more] children:�

a) son (after [1205/08]-).� Heinrich VII King of Germany condemned Ludwig I Duke of Bavaria relating to his dispute with �ministerialem nostrum G. de Erpach...beate memorie� and return the latter�s fiefs to �minorem filium et filiam seniorem ipsius pincerne� by charter dated 13 May 1223[226].� His birth date is estimated from his being a minor at the time.� same person as...?� GERHARD [I] von Erbach (-after [1224/29]).� �Ministeriales:...Gerhardus Pincerna de Erpach...� witnessed the charter dated to [1220/29] under which �Siboto advocatus noster in Heidelberg� donated property to Sch�nau[227].�

b) daughter .� Heinrich VII King of Germany condemned Ludwig I Duke of Bavaria relating to his dispute with �ministerialem nostrum G. de Erpach...beate memorie� and return the latter�s fiefs to �minorem filium et filiam seniorem ipsius pincerne� by charter dated 13 May 1223[228].�

c) [one or more] daughter(s) .� Her/their existence is confirmed by the 13 May 1223 charter quoted above which refers to �filiam seniorem�.� The possible marriage of one of the daughters of Gernod is suggested by the following document: �Philippus et Gerhardus dapiferi de Alceia� named �Chunradum Pincernam de Erbach avunculum suum� [Konrad [I], see below] in a charter dated 12 Apr 1277[229].� [m --- von Alzey, son of ---.]�

2. [two or more] brothers .� The 1206 charter quoted above records that Gernod von Erbach had brothers.�

Three brothers.� Their parents have not been identified, but the chronology suggests that they could have been grandchildren of �G. von Erbach� who is named above.�

1. EBERHARD [III] von Erbach ([1225/30]-before 23 Nov 1267).� Schenk von Erbach. �Eberhart und Konrat Schenken von Erbach� renounced rights in favour of Kloster Sch�nau, for themselves and for �ihren Bruder Gerhart�, by charter dated 1251[230].� �Eberhardus et Cunradus Pincerne de Erpach fratres� confirmed the property transactions made by �Ludovicus dictus Ranwart...� by charter dated 22 Aug 1255[231].� �Eberhardus Pincerna de Erbach quondam� donated property to Steinbach, with the consent of �uxoris me� et meorum heredum�, by charter dated 23 Nov 1267, sealed by �fratris mei�[232].� �Quondam� in this document presumably indicates that Eberhard [III] died soon after donating, but before the charter was prepared.� m --- (-after 23 Nov 1267).� She is referred to, but not named, in the 23 Nov 1267 charter of her husband quoted above.�

2. KONRAD [I] von Erbach ([1225/30]-after 1290).� Schenk von Erbach.� �Eberhart und Konrat Schenken von Erbach� renounced rights in favour of Kloster Sch�nau, for themselves and for �ihren Bruder Gerhart�, by charter dated 1251[233].� �Eberhardus et Cunradus Pincerne de Erpach fratres� confirmed the property transactions made by �Ludovicus dictus Ranwart...� by charter dated 22 Aug 1255[234].� �...Chunerus et Eberhardus Pincern� de Erpach...� witnessed the charter dated 1269 which records the investiture of Berthold Bishop of Bamberg[235].� �...Konrad schenk von Erpach und sein sohn Eberhard...� witnessed the charter dated 24 Apr 1277 under which Hermann, Rudolf and Hesso Markgrafen von Baden sold Lindenfels[236].� �Ulricus de Rosenbach...� sold property to H�chst by charter dated 18 May 1282, sealed by �dominorum nobilium Eberhardi dicti Reitz de Bruberch et Cunradi pincerne de Erpach senioris�[237].� �Cunradus [...senior] pincerna de Erpach, Engelhardus et Eberhardus filii sui, necnon Gerhardus nepos suus� sold property �in Vlvensheim� by charter dated 6 Dec 1282[238].� �Conradus Pincerna de Erpach� donated property to Sch�nau by charter dated 1290, sealed by �Engelhardi canonici Spirensis et Eberhardi militis filiorum meorum atque Gerhardi nepotis mei�[239].� m ---.� The name of Konrad�s wife is not known.� Konrad [I] & his wife had three children:�

a) [KONRAD [II] von Erbach ([1250]-[16 May 1279]).� A late-18th century epitaph at Steinbach records the death �XVII Kal Jun� 1279 of �Conradus junior Pincerna de Erpach� and �Id Jan� of �uxor sua filia comitis de Cigenhann, Gertrudis�[240].� It is assumed that �junior� indicates that he was survived by a Konrad �senior�.� No primary source has been found which confirms that Konrad [II] was the son of Konrad [I], but the 1290 charter reference to Konrad [II]�s supposed son Gerhard [III] as �nepos� of Konrad [I] fits with this affiliation assuming that �nepos� in this case was used in the sense of grandson not nephew.� The 1290 charter makes more sense if Konrad [I] named the surviving son of his deceased older son, than a nephew, along with his two surviving sons.]� m GERTRUD von Ziegenhain, daughter of --- Graf von Ziegenhain & his wife --- (-13 Jan ----).� A late-18th century epitaph at Steinbach records the death �XVII Kal Jun� 1279 of �Conradus junior Pincerna de Erpach� and �Id Jan� of �uxor sua filia comitis de Cigenhann, Gertrudis�[241].� The primary source which identifies which of the numerous Grafen von Ziegenhain was Gertrud�s father has not been found.� Konrad [II] & his wife had [one child]:�

i) [GERHARD [III] von Erbach ([1275]-[Dec 1292/1299]).� �Conradus Pincerna de Erpach� donated property to Sch�nau by charter dated 1290, sealed by �Engelhardi canonici Spirensis et Eberhardi militis filiorum meorum atque Gerhardi nepotis mei�[242].� �Gerhardus pincerna de Erpach� acknowledged holding �Castrensi in Castro suo Lindenfels� in fief from Ludwig II Duke of Bavaria by charter dated 8 Dec 1292[243].� �Gerlacus dominus de Bruberg et Ebirhardus filius noster� and �Conradus, Gerlacus, Engilhardus et Ebirhardus fratres Pincerne de Erpach� settled disputes, restoring �medie partis castri Erpach et in bona...apud quondam Gerhardum Pincernam de Erpach� to �dominum Gerlacum de Bruberg�, by charter dated 11 Jan 1300[244].�

b) EBERHARD [V] von Erbach ([1255]-after 1290, maybe after 1291, maybe 1312).� �...Chunerus et Eberhardus Pincern� de Erpach...� witnessed the charter dated 1269 which records the investiture of Berthold Bishop of Bamberg[245].� �...Konrad schenk von Erpach und sein sohn Eberhard...� witnessed the charter dated 24 Apr 1277 under which Hermann, Rudolf and Hesso Markgrafen von Baden sold Lindenfels[246].� �Iohannes, Ebirhardus et Conradus fratres Pincerne de Erpach...� sold �decimam in Pungstad� to Mainz for �villam in Mosa� by charter dated 26 Sep 1277[247].� �Ulricus de Rosenbach...� sold property to H�chst by charter dated 18 May 1282, sealed by �dominorum nobilium Eberhardi dicti Reitz de Bruberch et Cunradi pincerne de Erpach senioris�[248].� �Cunradus [...senior] pincerna de Erpach, Engelhardus et Eberhardus filii sui, necnon Gerhardus nepos suus� sold property �in Vlvensheim� by charter dated 6 Dec 1282[249].� [The following two charters could refer to Eberhard [IV], Eberhard [V] or Eberhard [VI].� �Domini Eberhardi pincerne de Erbach� sealed a charter dated 1283 which records an exchange of property between Steinach and �Hermannum militem de Eicholdesheim�[250].� Gerhard Archbishop of Mainz settled a dispute between the Teutonic Knights and �Philippum et Gotfridum de Bikkembach fratres consanguineos nostros� concerning �ecclesia de Roelbach� by charter dated 1291, witnessed by �...Eberhardus Pincerna de Erpach�[251].]� �Conradus Pincerna de Erpach� donated property to Sch�nau by charter dated 1290, sealed by �Engelhardi canonici Spirensis et Eberhardi militis filiorum meorum atque Gerhardi nepotis mei�[252].� [The following three charters could refer to Eberhard [V], Eberhard [VI] or Eberhard [VII]; they probably do not refer to Eberhard [IV] as he was called �senior� from 1310.� Andreas Bishop of W�rzburg granted �villas M�dach et Limpach� to �nobilis vir Ebirhardus dominus Pincerna de Erpach� by charter dated 18 Jul 1310[253].� �Eberhart der Schenke von Erpach, Gotfrid von Bickenbach und Wernher von Libsberg� acknowledged that Pfalzgraf Ruprecht had restored to them �die Burg zu Erpach�, lost during the Bohemian war, in the presence of �Cunradt von Winsperg, Ulrich von Bickenbach, Ulrich von Hanawe und Eberhart Schenken, Johans sun von Erpach�, by charter dated 21 Oct 1311[254].� Pfalzgraf Ruprecht granted �die Burch unn stat ze Michelstat� to �Eberhart Schenk von Erpach der elter, etwenn Schenk Eberhartes son� [=Eberhard [IV]] by charter dated 20 Oct 1311, sealed by �Ulriches und Gotfrides von Bickenbach, Wernhers von Liebsperch, Chunrats von Weinsperch, Ulriches von Hanaw unn Schenk Eberhartes mines vetern�[255].]� [An epitaph in the Eginhardscapelle at Erbach records the death in 1312 of Eberhard von Erbach[256].� This epitaph could refer to Eberhard [V], Eberhard [VI], or Eberhard [VII].]� [m AGNES, daughter of --- (-10 Jun 1302, bur Steinbach.� An epitaph at Steinbach records the death �IV Id Jun� 1302 of �Agnetis conjux Eberhardi Pincerne de Erpach�[257].� This epitaph could refer to the wife of Eberhard [V], Eberhard [VI], or Eberhard [VII].]�

c) ENGELHARD von Erbach (-after 1290).� �Cunradus [...senior] pincerna de Erpach, Engelhardus et Eberhardus filii sui, necnon Gerhardus nepos suus� sold property �in Vlvensheim� by charter dated 6 Dec 1282[258].� Canon at Speyer: �Conradus Pincerna de Erpach� donated property to Sch�nau by charter dated 1290, sealed by �Engelhardi canonici Spirensis et Eberhardi militis filiorum meorum atque Gerhardi nepotis mei�[259].�

3. GERHARD [II] von Erbach (-after 1251).� �Eberhart und Konrat Schenken von Erbach� renounced rights in favour of Kloster Sch�nau, for themselves and for �ihren Bruder Gerhart�, by charter dated 1251[260].� same person as...?� GERHARD von Erbach (-after 31 Jul 1287).� �...Gerhardus Pincerna de Espach...� witnessed the charter dated 31 Jul 1287 under which Ludwig II Duke of Bavaria bought �castrum Tanne�[261].� This document is too early to refer to Gerhard [III] von Erpach, assuming that his birth date is estimated correctly as shown above.� Another possibility is that the witness was Gerhard [II], although if that is correct it is surprising that no other document has been found which names him between 1251 and 1287.� He could also have been another Gerhard von Erbach whose parentage has not been traced.�

The 11 Jan 1300 and 9 Aug 1320 charters quoted below, which record joint ownership of property held by named members of the Breuberg, Erbach and Bickenbach families, suggest that all three sets of owners shared a common ancestry, presumably descent from the Erbach family.� It is possible therefore earlier heads of the Breuberg and Bickenbach families married heiresses of different Erbach branches.� If that is correct, it would not be sensible to speculate on where their wives might fit into the main Erbach family given the absence of other primary sources.�

1. [--- von Erbach ).� m --- von Breuberg, son of ---.]�

2. [--- von Erbach ).� m --- von Bickenbach, son of ---.]�

Five children.� The primary source which names their father has not been identified.� Simon indicates that he was Konrad [I], suggesting that the latter had two sons named Konrad: Konrad [II] (died 1279, see above) and Konrad [III][262].� Unfortunately, Simon produces no evidence supporting his suggestion.� Many examples are of course found of two or more children bearing the same name in German medieval noble families, although no other cases have been found in the Erbach family.� Another possibility, assuming that Konrad [I] was their father, is that Konrad [III] was born after the death of his supposed older brother Konrad [II].� However, the 11 Jan 1300 charter quoted below names Konrad [III] before his three brothers, normally a sign that he was the oldest son.� The descendants of Konrad [III], the Schenken von Erbach-Erbach, were later referred to (in terms of dynastic seniority) as the most senior branch of the Erbach family.� This could suggest descent from Eberhard [III], older brother of Konrad [I] shown above, who in that case would have been their grandfather.� Another possibility is that the five siblings were children of Eberhard [V], second son of Konrad [I] (see above).�

1.

Chapter 8.�� LEININGEN

A.�� GRAFEN von LEININGEN

The first dynasty of the Grafen von Leiningen was studied in the late 19th century by Brinckmeier who cites numerous primary sources[542].� The difficulty with the Brinckmeier study is that his sources cited simply do not justify his reconstruction of the early generations of the family, which has been largely adopted by Europ�ische Stammtafeln and other secondary sources.� Combined with information from other sources to which he does not refer, a complete reassessment has therefore been necessary as shown below.�

�

1. EMICH (-after 30 Jun [782/83]).� "Amicho" donated property "in pago Wormat. in Linunga marca" to Kloster Lorsch by charter dated 30 Jun [782/83][543].� His name, and the location of the property donated, suggests that Emich may have been the ancestor of the later Grafen von Leiningen.�

1. EMICH [I] (-after 1131).� The family relationship, if any, between Graf Emich [I] and the three earlier counts of this name shown in Part B above has not been traced, although the common name and references to Wormsgau suggest that there was a close connection.� "Willelmus comes de Luzzelenburch, Hermanus comes de Caluerlage, Reinoldus comes, Conradus comes, Arnoldus comes, Gerlagus comes, Imeko comes, Gerhardus comes de Heinnersberch, Hermannus comes de Salmena et filius eius, Friderikus comes de Sarebrugge�" witnessed the charter dated 27 Dec 1127 under which Lothar King of Germany granted property in Dreiech to "ministeriali Cuonrado de Hagen�[et] uxori su� Liuckardi"[544].� Graf von Leiningen:� "�Emercho comes de Liningen�" signed the charter dated 1128 under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz donated property to Mainz cathedral[545].� "�Emicho comes de Liningen�" witnessed the charter dated 1131 under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the donation of "villa Woverebach�in pago Wetereiba in comitatu Bertoldi comitis de Nuringe" to Mainz[546].� There is no indication of the date when Graf Emich [I] died, nor whether some of the later resources listed here, or the earlier sources listed below under Graf Emich [II], applied to him or to Emich [II].�

2. EMICH [II] (-after 1179).� Graf von Leiningen.� "�Emicho comes de Liningen�" witnessed the charter dated 1143 under which Heinrich [I] Archbishop of Mainz donated property to Kloster Disibodenberg "per manum comitis Simsonis advocati ecclesie sancti Disibodi"[547].� "Comites:�Emmisso de Liningen�" witnessed the charter dated 23 Jul 1144 under which "Henricus dux Saxonie" confirmed the privileges of Kloster Bursfeld[548].� "�Comes Emicho de Liningen�" witnessed the charter dated 1148 under which Heinrich [I] Archbishop of Mainz confirmed a donation of property to Kloster Ichtershausen by "Frideruna linea nobis consanguinitatis propinqua et filius eius Marquardus de Grumbach"[549].� "Emichos comes de Liningen, Regenbodo de Lobendenborg" witnessed the charter datd to [1149] under which "dominus Eckardus abbas de Sunnesheim" donated property "in�Hagenauwe" to Otterberg[550].� The Annales Sancti Disibodi (Continuatio) name "�Emicho comes de Lynengen�" among those present with the king when he celebrated Christmas at Worms in 1155[551].� "Emicho�comes de Liningen" confirmed his advocatiam over Kloster Hegen by charter dated 1158, witnessed by "Hermannus, Eberhardus, Fridericus filii mei"[552].� Graf Emich donated property to Kloster H�ningen, with the consent of "collateralis me� Elis� et filiis meis Hermanno, Eberhardo, Friderico", by charter dated 1159[553].� �Emico comes de Liningen et filius eius Everardus, Gerlacus comes de Nuenburc, Emico comes hirsutus, Folmarus comes de Castello et filii eius Folmarus et Hugo, Theodoricus comes de Homberc, Warnerus de Bolandia et filius eius Philippus...� subscribed the charter dated 1172/1181 under which �Ludovicus senior comes de Sarwerden...et frater meus Ludovicus� confirmed the foundation of W�rschweiler (Wernereswilre) abbey[554].� Philipp Archbishop of K�ln exchanged property "in Rode" with Kloster Otterberg for property "in villa Boshovesheim", held by "Wernherus de Bolandia", by charter dated 1173, witnessed by "Wernherus de Bolanden eiusdem predii advocatus, comes Emicho de Liningen, Irsutus comes, comes Heinricus de Dietse�"[555].� "Emicho comes de Liningun et filius eius Eberhardus�" witnessed a charter of the bishop of Worms dated to [1173][556].� "Emicho�comes de Lyningen et consors mea Elisa et pueri mei Eberhardus et Fridericus" confirmed donations to Zell church by charter dated 1179[557].� According to Brinckmeier, Graf Emich witnessed a charter dated 1189 under which Heinrich VI King of Germany granted the advocatiam of Sittum to the bishop of Worms[558].� It is more likely that this entry refers to Graf Emich [III] than Graf Emich [II].� m ELISA, daughter of --- (-after 1179).� Graf Emich donated property to Kloster H�ningen, with the consent of "collateralis me� Elis� et filiis meis Hermanno, Eberhardo, Friderico", by charter dated 1159[559].� "Emicho�comes de Lyningen et consors mea Elisa et pueri mei Eberhardus et Fridericus" confirmed donations to Zell church by charter dated 1179[560].� Graf Emich [II] & his wife had three children:�

a) HERMANN (-[1159/73]).� "Emicho�comes de Liningen" confirmed his advocatiam over Kloster Hegen by charter dated 1158, witnessed by "Hermannus, Eberhardus, Fridericus filii mei"[561].� Graf Emich donated property to Kloster H�ningen, with the consent of "collateralis me� Elis� et filiis meis Hermanno, Eberhardo, Friderico", by charter dated 1159[562].�

b) EBERHARD (-after 1179).� "Emicho�comes de Liningen" confirmed his advocatiam over Kloster Hegen by charter dated 1158, witnessed by "Hermannus, Eberhardus, Fridericus filii mei"[563].� Graf Emich donated property to Kloster H�ningen, with the consent of "collateralis me� Elis� et filiis meis Hermanno, Eberhardo, Friderico", by charter dated 1159[564].� �Emico comes de Liningen et filius eius Everardus...� subscribed the charter dated 1172/1181 under which �Ludovicus senior comes de Sarwerden...et frater meus Ludovicus� confirmed the foundation of W�rschweiler (Wernereswilre) abbey[565].� "Emicho comes de Liningun et filius eius Eberhardus�" witnessed a charter of the bishop of Worms dated to [1173][566].� "Emicho�comes de Lyningen et consors mea Elisa et pueri mei Eberhardus et Fridericus" confirmed donations to Zell church by charter dated 1179[567].�

c) FRIEDRICH [I] (-[1190/28 Apr 1193]).� "Emicho�comes de Liningen" confirmed his advocatiam over Kloster Hegen by charter dated 1158, witnessed by "Hermannus, Eberhardus, Fridericus filii mei"[568].� Graf Emich donated property to Kloster H�ningen, with the consent of "collateralis me� Elis� et filiis meis Hermanno, Eberhardo, Friderico", by charter dated 1159[569].� "Emicho�comes de Lyningen et consors mea Elisa et pueri mei Eberhardus et Fridericus" confirmed donations to Zell church by charter dated 1179[570].� Graf von Leiningen.� "Fridericus comes de Liningen�" witnessed the charter dated 14 Apr 1189 under which Emperor Friedrich I an exchange of property "in Grevenhusen et in Mettenbach et in Rodenbach" for the bishop of Strasbourg[571].� "�Der edele von Liningen grave Friderich�" is named among those who accompanied Ludwig III Landgraf of Thuringia on crusade in 1190[572].� "Comes Fridericus de Lyninge, Sifridus de Runchele, Crafto de Bilestein, Godebertus de Lyningen�" witnessed the charter dated 1191 under which Gottfried Abbot of Trier St. Euchar confirmed the foundation of �capellam in minore Vilmere� by �comitis Friderici de Lyninge�[573].�

Two possible brothers.� The source dated 31 Mar 1205 quoted below states that Graf Friedrich [II] von Leiningen was "fratruelis" of Graf Emich [III], and that Friedrich was the junior count.� The term �fratruelis� usually indicates nephew, in the sense of brother�s son.� The precise chronology of the lives of Emich [III] and Friedrich [II] is difficult to ascertain.� Emich [III] could have been the son of one of the three brothers who are shown above as sons of Emich [II].� Another possibility is that Emich and Friedrich were first cousins, rather than uncle/nephew, assuming that �fratruelis� can be interpreted in a broader sense, in which case Friedrich [II] would have been the son of another of those three brothers.�

1. EMICH [III] (-after 2 Jun 1208).� Graf von Leiningen.� According to Brinckmeier, Graf Emich witnessed a charter dated 1189 under which Heinrich VI King of Germany granted the advocatiam of Sittum to the bishop of Worms[574].� It is more likely that this entry refers to Graf Emich [III] than Graf Emich [II].� "�Emmecho com. de Liningen�" witnessed the charter dated 28 Apr 1193 under which Emperor Heinrich VI confirmed the properties of Springiersbach abbey[575].� Emperor Heinrich VI confirmed the sale of "villam�Hillensheim�de manu nostra iure feodali comes habuit de Liningen" by "Hellingero de Frankenstein" to Kloster Hemmenrode by charter dated 19 Jul 1195[576].� "�Embrecho comes de Liningen�" witnessed the charter dated 20 Jan 1197 under which Johann Archbishop of Trier confirmed the property of Kloster Arnstein[577].� "Emicho comes de Liningen et Fridericus fratruelis meus comes iunior" confirmed the charter dated 31 Mar 1205 under which "Conradum filum Merbodonis militis de Wartenberg" granted dower to his wife[578].� "�Emicho comes de Liningen�" witnessed the charter dated 2 Jun 1208 under which Emperor Otto IV confirmed the privileges and properties of Neuburg abbey[579].�

m [firstly] (before [1202/05]) [AGNES] von Eberstein, daughter of EBERHARD [III] Graf von Eberstein & his wife Kunigunde [von Andechs-Merano] ([1185/87]-).� Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 29 Aug 1227 under which her son "Symon comes de Dauborc" recorded his peace agreement with "domino Johanne Metensi episcopo" and named "dominum Evrardum de Vrestein avunculum meum"[614].� Given the marriage date of her parents, she must have been one of their older children as her son�s marriage is estimated to 1224.� �Fridericus comes de Liningin...et uxoris nostre Agnetis...et liberorum nostrorum� donated property to the Teutonic Order by charter dated 30 Nov 1221[615].� Brinckmeier quotes a charter of "Emichs IV und Friedrichs III" dated 10 Mar 1263 which refers to "post obitum nobilis domine Agnetis comitisse"[616].� If the speculation about Friedrich�s second marriage is correct, these documents could refer to his second wife.�

[m secondly [AGNES] von Zollern, daughter of KONRAD III Burggraf von N�rnberg & his [first wife Clementia ---] (-[18 Feb 1251/10 Mar 1263]).� Her supposed parentage and marriage are indicated by the charter dated 1262 under which [her son] "Bertholdus�Babenbergensis ecclesie episcopus" conferred property of "avunculus noster Ch. Burgravius de Nurenberch" on "avunculus noster Fridericus Burgravius de Nurenberch"[617].� This conclusion assumes that "avunculus" should be interpreted in this document in its strict sense of maternal uncle.� The likelihood of this second marriage is also indicated by the probable date of birth of Graf Friedrich�s [first] wife, and bearing in mind the chronology of the careers of his younger children.� A charter dated 18 Feb 1251 records a dispute between Otterberg and "Heinricus�Spirensis electus, E--- comes de Liningen et --- relicta quondam Friderici comitis de Liningen" concerning property "apud Bockenheim"[618].� Brinckmeier quotes a charter of "Emichs IV und Friedrichs III" dated 10 Mar 1263 which refers to "post obitum nobilis domine Agnetis comitisse"[619].]�

Chapter 11.� VELDENZ

The county of Veldenz lay south of the county of Sponheim and the Rheingrafschaft, south-east of the river Mosel, its territory lying around the town of Lichtenberg, although the town of Veldenz itself lay within the lay jurisdiction of the archbishopric of Trier.� The county originally formed part of the county of Nahegau.� Croll studied the first dynasty of the Grafen von Veldenz in the 18th century and concluded that they probably descended from the Grafen im Nahegau (see FRANCONIA) and in whose family the names Emich and Gerlach are repeated[1122].� It is not impossible that Gerlach [I] Graf von Veldenz and his brother Emich, ancestor of the Wildgrafen, were the same persons as Graf Emich (named in various sources dated between 1108 and 1135 as Graf im Nahegau, Graf von Schmidburg and Graf von Kirburg) and his brother Gerlach.� The mentions of the two sets of brothers cover approximately the same period, and no other record has been identified of the marriages and descendants of Graf Emich im Nahegau and his brother Gerlach.� The only apparent difficulty is that most sources, in which the brothers are named together, name the Veldenz brothers in a different order from the Nahegau/Schmidburg brothers, which suggests a different order of seniority by age.� Another possibility is that the Veldenz brothers were first cousins of the Nahegau/Schmidburg brothers, maybe sons of an otherwise unrecorded sister.�

The primary sources reveal five successive counts of Veldenz named Gerlach between the 1130s and the mid-13th century.� Given the birth of Graf Gerlach [V], dated to after 1228, the chronology suggests that these five counts belonged to at least five successive generations. However, it should be noted that no primary sources have yet been identified which confirm the parentage of either Graf Gerlach [II] or Graf Gerlach [IV].� On the basis of our current knowledge, it cannot therefore be confirmed that these five counts represented a continuous succession from father to son.� Little information about the lives and careers of the Grafen von Veldenz is gleaned from the primary sources, apart from their enjoyment of a prominent position in the courts of both the archbishop of Mainz and the archbishop of Trier, at least throughout most of the 12th century, as shown by their witnessing numerous imperial and archiepiscopal charters.� The county of Veldenz was closely linked to the church of Verdun whose ownership of property within the county is recorded in several sources.� Laurence of Laon�s Gesta Episcoporum Virdunensium records that Richer Bishop of Verdun travelled northwards along the river Mosel "ad Valdentiam alodium ecclesi�" where he died in 1107[1123].� Emperor Friedrich I confirmed the privileges of the church of Verdun by charter dated 17 Aug 1156, which lists "Valdentiam�castrum cum advocatia et banno" among the church�s possessions[1124].� Graf Gerlach [IV] confirmed his allegiance to the bishop of Verdun for his castle in 1235.� No primary source has yet been identified which shows that the Veldenz comital family founded a specific monastic establishment themselves or that they enjoyed a continuous association with one particular church or abbey.� No indication has yet been found of the identities of the wives of Graf Gerlach [II] or Graf Gerlach [III], although they presumably belonged to prominent local Franconian comital families as judged by the known marriages of the three other counts named Gerlach.� The heiress of Graf Gerlach [V] married the Swabian nobleman Heinrich von Geroldseck in the late 1260s.� The couple were ancestors of the second dynasty of Grafen von Veldenz (not treated in the present document) until its extinction in the male line in 1444, when the county passed to Stefan Pfalzgraf in Simmern und Zweibr�cken who had married the heiress, and through whom he also succeeded in reuniting the frequently divided territories of the county of Sponheim.�
