Conrad the Great (ca. 1097 – 5 February 1157) was the
Margrave of Meissen
from 1123 until his retirement in 1156. He was the son of
Thimo
, Count of Brehna, of the
House of Wettin
and Ida, daughter of
Otto of Nordheim
.
والده
) Thimo (ca. 1010 – 9 March 1090/1091 or c. 1100), was count of
Wettin
and
Brehna
.
He was the son of
Dietrich II, Margrave of Lower Lusatia
, and Mathilde, daughter of
Eckard I, Margrave of Meissen
, and married Ida, daughter of
Otto of Northeim
. Thimo is buried at
Niemegk
Monastery, which he had founded.
The exact year of Thimo's death is unclear; since his son
Conrad
was born in approximately 1098, Thiemo cannot have died long before this year. Alternatively, some researchers assume that Thimo was in fact Conrad's grandfather, and that Conrad's father was an unknown son of Thimo's with the same name, making a death year of 1090/91 possible, as given in a chronicle. However, since Thimo II is not otherwise attested, this is considered unlikely.
(
He was also Count of
Wettin
,
Brehna
, and
Camburg
from before 1116.
In 1123, he became Count of
Eilenburg
. That same year,
Lothair of Supplinburg
,
Duke of Saxony
, appointed him Margrave of Meissen in opposition to
Wiprecht von Groitzsch
, the appointee of the
Emperor Henry V
. Lothair also named
Albert the Bear
Margrave of Lusatia
, while Henry named Wiprecht to that march also. Wiprecht was unable to hold his own against his two opponents and in 1124 Conrad was securely in power in Meissen. In 1136, Lothair, then emperor, appointed him to Lusatia as well. Thereafter,
Upper Lusatia
remained a part of Meissen and the march of Lusatia was reduced to
Lower Lusatia
alone.
In 1143, Conrad became Count of
Groitzsch
and
Rochlitz
and
Vogt
of
Chemnitz
and
Naumburg
. In 1147, while
Conrad III of Germany
was away on the
Second Crusade
, Conrad the Great joined
Henry the Lion
,
Adalbert of Salzwedel
, Albert the Bear, and the
Archbishops of Magdeburg
and
Bremen
to organise a
Crusade
against the
Obodrites
and
Wagri
. In August, Conrad and Albert, with the bishops of Magdeburg,
Havelburg
, and
Brandenburg
, massed their forces at
Magdeburg
. The Obodrite prince
Niklot
and his fortressess of
Dubin
and
Dimin
were besieged. Both he and
Pribislav
, another Obodrite prince, were forced to accept Christianity and make peace.
In the following years, he founded the monastery of
St Peter auf dem Lauterberg
(Petersberg), to which he retired on 30 November 1156. He died and was buried there next to his wife, Luitgard (Lucarda) von Elchingen-Ravenstein, daughter of Adalbert, Count of Elchingen-Ravenstein and Bertha of Hohenstaufen, daughter of
Frederick I, Duke of Swabia
and
Agnes of Germany
.
Marriage and issue
Luitgard of Elchingen-Ravenstein
, whom he had married before 1119, had blessed him with many children. His eldest surviving son,
Otto II, Margrave of Meissen
, succeeded him in Meissen, while his second surviving son,
Dietrich I
, succeeded in Lusatia. His son
Henry I, Count of Wettin
married Sophia of Sommerschenburg, Countess Palatine of Saxony, daughter of Count Fredrick II of Sommerschenburg and Countess
Liutgard of Stade
, queen dowager of Denmark.
