Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Konrad von Thüringen (English: Conrad of Thuringia; ca. 1206 24 July 1240) was the fifth Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, serving from 1239-40. A Landgrave of Thuringia from 1231-1234, he was the first major noble to join the military order. Conrad was the youngest son of Hermann I, Landgrave of Thuringia, and Sophia, daughter of Otto I, Duke of Swabia and Bavaria. His elder brother Ludwig IV of Thuringia was married to Saint Elisabeth of Hungary. When Ludwig died in 1227 during the Sixth Crusade, his brother Henry Raspe became regent for Ludwig's minor son Hermann II, and Conrad took on the title of Count of Gudensberg in Hesse, assisting his brother in ruling the area. On Elisabeth's death in 1231, Henry took Thuringia for himself, and together with Conrad, worked to consolidate power. Conrad engaged in battle a number of times with Siegfried III, Archbishop of Mainz, at one point personally swinging him around and threatening tocut him in two. He also made an unsuccessful siege of the city of Fritzlar in 1232.
