List of Counts of Gorizia
Encyclopedia
The Meinhardiner or Counts of Görz/Gorizia were a comital dynasty
in the Holy Roman Empire
, originally officials in the Patriarchate of Aquileia
, who from 1127 ruled the County of Görz (Gorizia). In 1253 they inherited the County of Tyrol
, which passed to the cadet branch of Gorizia-Tyrol in 1271, also Dukes of Carinthia
from 1286 onwards. Henry of Gorizia-Tyrol by marriage even assumed the rule over the Kingdom of Bohemia
and (titular) the Kingdom of Poland in 1306 and again from 1307 to 1310. However, as he left no male heirs, the Gorizia-Tyrol branch became extinct upon the death of his daughter Margaret in 1369. The line of the Counts of Görz died out in 1500, all Meinhardiner estates were finally incorporated by the Austrian
House of Habsburg.
n Siegharding dynasty, which originally descended from the Kraichgau
region and in the 10th century ruled in the Chiemgau
of the German stem duchy
of Bavaria
. One Siegharding Meginhard (or Meinhard, d. 1090) is documented as a count in the Tyrolean Puster Valley. The progenitor of the Meinhardiner, Count Meinhard I of Gorizia, and his brother Engelbert, Count palatine
of Bavaria, may be his sons. The dynasty first appeared around Lienz
and gained the office of a vogt
at the town of Gorizia
(Görz) in the Patriarchate of Aquileia in the 11th century.
The Country of Tyrolia was already in the early and later Middle Ages an important mountain pass area with the lowermost crossings over the Central Eastern Alps
, vital for the Holy Roman Emperor
s to reach the Kingdom of Italy
. The centers of the Imperial power were initially two Prince-bishop
rics established by Emperor Conrad II
in 1027, Brixen
(Bressanone) and Trient
(Trento). The bishops were the sovereigns of many semi-free compulsory henchmen (Ministerials) and base noblemen which styled until today the scenery with their numerous castles mostly south of the Brenner Pass
. One of that noblemen families were the Counts of Tyrol, named by the Castle Tyrol
near the town of Meran. They speedily ascended as bailiffs which exercised the judiicial power for the Trient and Brixen bishops and finally took over the secular power in the southern Duchy of Bavaria
after the deposition of the Welf duke Henry the Lion
in 1180. That fact is also to comprehend by seeing that the name of the ancestral mension was finally transferred over the whole country.
Between 1253 and 1258 the Counts of Görz assumed the power in Tyrol after the Counts of Tyrol vanished in the virile succession. In 1237 Count Meinhard III of Gorizia
had married Adelheid, daughter of Count Albert III of Tyrol who died in 1253 leaving no male heirs, and could in this way demand his inheritance-claims. His son and successor Count Meinhard IV
build up not only his rule, but could also urge on the building of a passably homogeneous country not only by the erection of a for then circumstances really exemplary administration. Anyhow the three areas of reign were to large for only one sovereign and primary to much distant, so was initiated a sharing out in 1267/71, whereby Meinhard IV ceded the County of Görz to his younger brother Albert I. Albert's descendants, the so-called Görz Meinhardins, maintained until their extinction in the year 1500 the ancestral mansion at Gorizia, while the descendants of Meinhard IV (Count Meinhard II of Tyrol) ruled to their vanish in the virile succession over Tyrol.
In 1286 Meinhard IV received the rule over the Duchy of Carinthia
and the adjacent March of Carniola
by King Rudolph I of Germany
in turn for his support against King Ottokar II of Bohemia
. His son Henry in 1306 married Anne, the eldest daughter of King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia and after the sudden death of her brother King Wenceslaus III
in the same year even ascended the Bohemian
throne. He however had to deal with claims raised by the Habsburg scion Rudolph III
, son of King Albert I of Germany
, and in the long run both could not prevail against Count John of Luxembourg, who became Bohemian king in 1310. As Henry himself left no male heirs upon his death in 1335, the Austrian
House of Habsburg earned the legacy of the Görz-Tyrol branch in Carinthia and Carniola, which they held until 1918. Henry's only surviving daughter Margaret "Maultasch" and her husband John Henry of Luxembourg
were only able to retain the County of Tyrol. In 1363 she ceded the county also to the Habsburg duke Rudolph IV of Austria
after her only son with her second husband Duke Louis V of Bavaria
, Count Meinhard III of Gorizia-Tyrol
had died in the same year.
The Counts of Görz were moreover the Bailiffs of Aquileja. They are famous in numismatics as publishers of the first German golden coin, the "Zwainziger". The renowned diplomat and minnesinger Oswald von Wolkenstein
was a subordinate of the Counts of Görz. The Gorizia branch of the dynasty became extinct in the year 1500, when the last male family member Count Leonhard of Gorizia
died withoud issue. One apparent or illegitimate branch of the Meinhardiner was the Graben von Stein
family. After Leonhards of Gorizias death they became his succeeder as stadtholders at Lienz
in East Tyrol
