  • BOUNDARY CHANGES Larry O
    BOUNDARY CHANGES Larry O. Jensen P. O. Box 441, Pleasant Grove, UT 84062 Over the centuries, locality jurisdictions changed in size and in jurisdictional levels. Many of the areas began as ecclesiastical districts such as dioceses or archdioceses and then changed to a nobility jurisdiction such as “Grafschaft” (county) which was ruled over by a “Graf” or count. Some evolved from a regular “Herzogtum” (duchy) to a “Grossherzogtum” (grand duchy) which Baden and Mecklenburg did. Other areas like Bavaria and Württemberg went from being duchies to kingdoms when their rulers were raised from dukes to kings. The following list identifies some of these ecclesiastical and nobility levels: Bistum diocese König king Burgraf burgrave Königreich kingdom Erzbistum archdiocese Kurfürst elector Erzherzogtum archduchy Kurfürstentum electorate Fürst prince Landgraf landgrave Fürstentum principality Landgrafschaft landgravate Graf count Mark march or borderland Grafschaft county, shire Markgraf margrave Großfürstentum grand principality Markgrafschaft margravate or Großherzogtum grand duchy margraviate Herrschaft domain Propst provost Herzog duke Probstei diocese Herzogtum duchy Provinz province Kanton canton, district It is very important to know the histories of the areas of Germany your ancestors were from. Different records may have been kept for these areas during the time period they existed. For example, if you looked under “Hannover” in the Salt Lake City, Utah Genealogy Library=s Catalog you would be given the following four choices: 1. Germany, Preußen, Hannover 2. Germany, Preußen, Hannover, Hannover 3. Germany, Preußen, Hannover (Königreich) 4. Germany, Preußen, Hannover (Kurfürstentum) The four possibilities represent the following four different jurisdictions: 1. This choice would identify those records that the Library has acquired for Hannover when it was a province in the kingdom of Prussia (1866-1945).

  • Memories of the House of Este in England
    THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION AND ASSOCIATION ON NOBILITY (TICAN) Memories of the House of Este in England The Royal House of Windsor, in their veins runs the blood of the oldest Italian Dynasty Carmelo Currò Troiano & Don Salvatore Ferdinando Antonio Caputo (George, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith, Prince-Elector of Hanover, Duke of Brunswick. ca. 1714, the year of his succession, by Sir Godfrey Kneller) Memories of the House of Este in England The Este Royal Family still reigns, and with the world's most famous monarchy. It reigns under another name, because now is called Windsor. In their veins, however, runs the blood of the oldest Italian Dynasty. Among the many states of late medieval Italy, one stands out for its unfamiliarity to an English audience and for its neglect in historical research: that of the Este family, lords (later Dukes) of the cities of Ferrara, Modena and Reggio in northern Italy. Welf IV d'Este, son of Alberto Azzo II, moved to Germany, first to Carinthia and then to Bavaria, giving rise to one of the most important families in European history, the Guelphs. This in turn ultimately led to the ascension to the English throne in 1714 with George I of England. The Este constituted, with the Savoy, the longest Italian family dynastic among the various lordships that from the Middle Ages to the Risorgimento (The Resurgence) dominated the small states that made up the boot of Italy controlled for long periods a portion that practically reached from the Adriatic Sea to the Tyrrhenian Sea until the Republic of Lucca, acting as cushion between the states of the Church and those in the north, Venice, Mantua and Milan.

  • The Margrave
    CHAPTER 3 The Margrave Although Vladislaus Henry and Přemysl Otakar had agreed on joint govern­ ment as well as on the new arrangement of the domestic situation, the trans­ formation of ducal Moravia into a margraviate was not simple and certainly not predictable, because the shaky and frequently interrupted tradition of the title of Margrave did not go further back than to 1 July 1179. On that day, Duke of Bohemia Frederick appeared at the gate of the imperial palace in Cheb in order to settle, with the advice and help of Emperor Barbarossa, a protracted dispute with the duke of Austria. To everyone’s relief, it was possible to find an acceptable compromise, the conditions of which were recorded in an imperial charter. The document says that Frederick was surrounded by a large retinue and that also his brother Přemysl arrived in Cheb as a margrave of Moravia (Primezla margravius de Morauia).1 Barbarossa’s privilege has only been pre­ served in copies made between the end of the 13th century and the middle of the next century. The sloppy notaries offered different versions of Přemysl’s title.2 In addition, the imperial office did not seal the charter immediately, only several days later in Magdeburg.3 Therefore, it is possible that not even the actual autograph reflected reality. Nevertheless, it became widely accepted that Přemysl really was in Cheb and that he used a title unknown in the Czech lands.4 It seems that the ‘margrave’ gained some insight into the world of the Přemyslid dukes in the middle of 1178, when Frederick took control of Prague Castle and, in order to secure influence in Moravia, placed a strong garrison led by his brother Přemysl in Olomouc.
