Personal Information
- TITLE: Landgrave in Thuringia and Hesse
- DEATH: BET 1056 AND 1080
Notes
Founder of the House of Ludoving
Louis the Bearded or Ludwig with the Beard is considered the progenitor of the House of Ludoving. Year of birth and year of death are not known. The Reinhardsbrunn Chronicle announces his year of death with 1055 vel citra, so the author did not know the year of death. He probably died between 1069 and 1084, because on this period the documented gift of the town of Schönrain and the estate Wiesenfeld can be limited to the monastery of Hirsau, by his sons Beringer and Louis, which took place from fatherly heritage for the salvation of their ancestors (pro redemtione maiorum). Louis was buried in St. Alban ahead of Mainz.
Chronicles and Historia report that Louis had a rich brother Hugo, who was in relation to Mainz and Fulda and later inherited the Louis. This fits with the assumption that the gift of Emperor Konrad II in the Thuringian Forest, which was claimed in the document of 1039, was actually a fiefdom of the Bishop of Mainz. The scope of the fief, indicated in the document, is more in line with the one it was at the beginning of the 13. Century had and the grubbing up and purchased was supposed to have been the basis.
Louis' sons call themselves 1100 in a document after the Schauenburg in the Thuringian Forest near Friedrichroda, which Louis the Bearded is said to have built from 1044 and which was located near a pass road over the Thuringian Forest, which also ran over Schmalkalden.
The fact that in the area around Schönrain, in addition to Louis, the Counts of Rieneck also owned lands and these were also closely related to Mainz and Fulda, makes a kinship of Louis with the Rieneckers likely.
The name (Louis, Hugo) also considers a kinship with Hugo VI of Egisheim or Louis von Mousson, whereby a kinship to Gisela von Schwaben would also result.
Louis married around 1039 Cäcilie von Sangerhausen, the heiress of Sangerhausen, among others.
