Ulrich IV, Count of Pfannberg
Ulrich IV of Pfannberg (* 1260, † after 1318 ) was Count of Pfannberg.
Life
Ulrich was a son of Count Heinrich of Pfannberg and his wife Agnes of Plain.
1278 it is the first time, mentioned together with his older brother Hermann in a St. Pauler certificate name.
After Hermann's death in 1287 the whole property fell to Ulrich IV, where Traberg ( Unterdrauburg, Dravograd ) remained in the possession of Elizabeth, widow of Hermann, nee Countess of Heunburg, as Ulrich was always in pecuniary difficulties, and Elizabeth could not accept.
1287 or early 1288 married Ulrich Margaret of Heunburg and confirmed to lead Castle on the Sunday before Ascension Day, that he be Sweher ( father ) had Graf Ulrich von Heunburg granted 1,000 marks of silver, which he had Margarete given as home control, and that it in and of itself Margarete dispense with the inheritance in respect of all goods of Count Ulrich and his wife Agnes.
This marriage had the effect that after the extinction of the tribe of the man Heunburger 1322 passed a significant part of their possessions to the house Pfannberg.
While Ulrich IV grandfather was an active man who procured the earldom back to his tribe, and his father Heinrich a famous knight with leadership qualities, he was even worth the chroniclers hardly mentions large. Ottokar from the Gaal reported about him in his Styrian rhyming chronicle just that he had participated in the revolt of the Styrian against Duke Albrecht 1291/92 and that he had been one of those who were sent to the Archbishop Conrad of Salzburg, for him to participate to move in the uprising. He seems to have nowhere excelled in bravery. And unlike his ancestors, who had been rather at odds with the clergy, he was against monasteries and the church most bountiful, which of course his financial difficulties increased, almost all drove him to pledge and sale of his goods.
In 1291 Ulrich Herzog Albrecht should have accompanied on his ill-fated expedition to Hungary.
This autumn, in Styria, the discussions for the uprising of the Federal Landsberger had started because Duke Albrecht had refused the confirmation of their privileges the stands. Rather was his father- the engine of this intrigues Himself, who has indeed played no prominent role in this respect.
Incidentally, this rebellion had collapsed in March 1292 after the siege of Bruck by Duke Albrecht shocked and Friedrich von Stubenberg, the ringleaders, had been captured.
At the rebellion of his father against the Carinthian Duke Meinhard II in the years 1292 and 1293 he did not participate.
1292 are listed at the Stift Rein donations of Pfannberger ministeriales of Laz and Mordax.
On May 30, 1292 to grips sold Graf Ulrich von Heunburg the Abbot Conrad of St. Paul at eight marks of silver a courtyard, located on the Rain alongside Rakkonik (safe today Rainhof on the Herzogenberg nope St. Paul in the Lavant Valley; Rakkonik today Raggane ) and promised to obtain the consent of Ulrich von Pfannberg, the state, the upper right of ownership. The Pfannberger had at that time many goods east of Lavant: 1255 Puhelarn ( Unterpichling on Ragglbach arrived, and later at St. Paul ) and Entresdorf (Anders village near St. Georgen ), 1292 the roof mountain, Mühldorf, Lindhof and Götzdorf and dog village. Furthermore, the vests Rabenstein, Loschental and Lavamünd.
On December 21, 1292, died Ulrich's brother Rainold, Abbot of Rein. His death made him difficult to create, especially as his father - along with wife - from 1293 as a prisoner of Duke Albrecht was exiled to Wiener Neustadt. Probably Ulrich von Pfannberg has many of its resources to his in-laws used, at least he was always strapped for cash.
On July 5, 1294 to Jews castle pledged Count Ulrich and his wife Margaret Abbot Henry of Admont their princely fief, the Castle of St. Peter in Leoben, two situated therein large farms in Tolnich (now tolling ) and Welen and the district court " of the high Wart and Chieneinöde to the gutter of Roetenstein " ( Leoben Regional Court to the Kalte Rinne at Rothelstein ).
Count Ulrich IV of Pfannberg is buried in the monastery of Rein.
