14-552: The dynasty began with Otakar I, probably a son or son-in-law of Aribo (c. 850 – 909), margrave in Pannonia under King Arnulf . Otakar was Count of Steyr in the Traungau , in what is today Upper Austria . Together with Margrave Luitpold , he may have been killed at the 907 Battle of Pressburg . His descendant Ottokar I (died 1064), Count in the Chiemgau , became ruler of

28-641: A portion of the Pannonian march over Aribo's head. Aribo never reconciled with Arnulf after the Wilhelimner War and his contacts with the Moravians were kept secure. After his falling out, his son Isanrich got Moravian support against Arnulf. Around 905, Margrave Aribo issued a customs code concerning the trade along the Danube river at Raffelstetten . He survived the disastrous Battle of Pressburg , whereafter most of

42-559: The Carantanian march in 1056. The Carantanian march, then subject to the Duchy of Carinthia , was subsequently named March of Styria ( German : Steiermark ) after the dynasty's original seat at Steyr. In 1180 Margrave Ottokar IV gained the ducal title from Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa , thereby establishing the Duchy of Styria . The reign of the Otakars however ended with the extinction of

56-550: The bishopric of Freising in the past. He was already a clergyman when in 889 King Arnulf of Germany granted him a large forest, the Zillertal , which remained under the lordship of the rulers of Salzburg until 1810. Pilgrim maintained good relations with the Carolingian ruling house. When Theotmar , archbishop of Salzburg, died during the battle of Pressburg in July 907, Pilgrim

70-502: The Bavarian nobility apparently elected him king in opposition to Conrad's successor, Henry I . In 921 Henry and Arnulf came to an agreement, whereby the former recognised the latter's autonomy within Bavaria in return for his recognition as king. Henry admitted Arnulf's right to appoint bishops, which greatly reduced Pilgrim's status. He was no longer royal archchaplain whose political influence

84-790: The Carolingian March of Pannonia from 871 until his death. He is recognised as a progenitor of the Aribonid dynasty. In his day, the Pannonian march, also called marcha orientalis , corresponded to a front along the Danube river from the Bavarian Traungau up to Szombathely ( Savaria ) and the Rába river, including the Vienna Basin . Aribo was originally appointed by the East Frankish king Louis

98-568: The Duchy of Bavaria by the Liutpoldings . Pilgrim I (archbishop of Salzburg) Pilgrim I (died 8 October 923 ) was a Bavarian nobleman and churchman. He served as the archbishop of Salzburg from 907 until his death and was in charge of the East Frankish royal chapel and chancery under Conrad I from 911 until 918. Pilgrim was of old Bavarian stock, a member of the Aribonid and Sighardinger kin groups, whose members had at times held

112-633: The German to succeed the Wilhelminer brothers William and Engelschalk I , after they died on campaign against the forces of the Great Moravian realm. This has been used to support the hypothesis that he was a brother-in-law of the two margraves. Aribo maintained peace with Prince Svatopluk of Moravia and it paid off when, in 882, the sons of the late margraves Engelschalk I and William, led by Engelschalk II , rebelled against him, claiming their rights to

126-459: The dominant position in the old saltworks at Reichenhall . The nuns of the convent at Altmünster , who probably been forced to abandon the place by the incoming Hungarians, likewise came under the joint protection of Pilgrim, Margrave Aribo of Austria and King Louis. In 911, the newly-elected Conrad I , the first non-Carolingian German king, appointed Pilgrim the archchaplain and archchancellor of his court. In September 916, Pilgrim attended

140-517: The line upon Duke Ottokar's death in 1192. In the Georgenberg Pact of 1186 he had agreed that his lands should pass to Leopold V , the Babenberg duke of Austria . This European history –related article is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Aribo of Austria Aribo (or Arbo ; c.  850 – after 909) was margrave ( comes terminalis , "frontier count") of

154-594: The march. The Carolingian emperor Charles the Fat confirmed Aribo's position and Engelschalk II turned to Arnulf of Carinthia , Aribo's southern neighbour, for support. Svatopluk, however, entered the Wilhelminer War on the side of Aribo and the emperor. In 884, peace returned to the marcha . A sign of Aribo's strength after this was that he was unable to be unseated by Arnulf when the latter succeeded as King of East Francia in 887. In 893, Arnulf appointed Engelschalk II to

168-607: The margravial territory was lost. He last appeared in a 909 deed, when he and Archbishop Pilgrim of Salzburg were vested with Altmünster Abbey by King Louis the Child . Aribo allegedly died hunting wisents . His descendants of the Aribonid family rose to the most powerful Bavarian dynasties. They held the Archbishopric of Salzburg and the office of a Bavarian count palatine in the 10th century, but eventually were pushed out of power in

182-515: The synod of the entire kingdom at Hohenaltheim . There it was decided by the bishops to support the king and condemn the rebellions of Duke Arnulf of Bavaria and Duke Erchanger of Swabia . It was also decided to bring the German church close to the Papacy . Consequently, Arnulf went into exile in Hungary and Pilgrim took charge of Bavaria in his absence. Arnulf returned following Conrad's death in 918 and

196-476: Was appointed to succeed him on 7 September. He was consecrated by 22 October. He probably owed his appointment during such a crisis to his closeness to the royal court. The Hungarian victory at Pressburg, however, meant the loss for Salzburg of its primary mission field. For this, Pilgrim obtained compensation in the form of royal grants. In 908, Pilgrim received from King Louis IV the royal curtis of Salzburghofen with all its appurtenances, which included
