DET TYSKE OMRÅDE
THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE
STATSDANNELSER OG REGENTER

Indhold

Indledning

Det tyske eller germanske område har fra den tidlige middelalder til det tyvende århundrede været delt og samlet mange gange og i forskellige kombinationer. Det er derfor temmeligt komplekst at få styr på regenter og regerende fyrstehuse og deres indbyrdes forbindelser.

Som kejserdømme var det tyske rige meget forskelligt fra det romerske kejserrige. De tyske kejsere var til tider kun kejsere af navn, men uden nogen større udøvende magt over de tilknyttede kongeriger; til andre tider havde de stor magt og herskede over store dele af Europa. Til tider var kejsertitlen givet i samdrægtighed med paven, mens den til andre tider var givet imod pavedømmets ønske. I perioder var kejsertitlen ikke benyttet. Tillægsordet »hellig« blev først tilknyttet senere. Kejserdømmet bestod til 1806.

Tyskland var indenrigs et valgkongedømme efter rigsdagen i Forchheim 1077. Tidligere havde det været et arverige, og efter 1077 forblev det i praksis et arverige, indtil Lothar blev valgt i Supplinburg i 1125. Derefter fungerede valgprocedurerne.

I denne tekst opridser jeg nogle enkeltheder om områderne og regenterne. Da hovedparten af kildeteksterne er på engelsk, bibeholdes engelsk i regenttabellerne.

Det Tysk-Romerske Kejserrige fra 800-

Den første kejserslægt er den Karolingiske Slægt, der indledte sin regeringsperiode med Karl den Store.

Karl den Store
Karl den Store blev kronet til kejser i Peterskirken juledag år 800. Senere, i 806, fordelte han sit rige mellem sine tre sønner, således at Karl fik Frankrig og Tyskland = Saxen, der dengang svarede til området mellem Holland og Magdeburg og ned til Harzen. Pepin blev konge over Italien og Bayern, og Ludvig I fik Aquitanien. Ludvig overlevede sine brødre og blev kejser over imperiet efter Karl den Store.

Styrkemæssigt var de adelige familier magtfulde. Der regnes med 42 adelige slægter, hvoraf de 19 var tæt forbundet til kejserslægten. Der var en begrænset centraladministration, og styret hvilede på den tætte tilknytning mellem kejsere og de lokale fyrster.
[9495 p.14, 9690 p.20]

Kirkehistorisk set delte Karl riget i 21 ærkebiskopdømmer, og det nordligste er Hamburg, hvor den første ærkebiskop hed Willehad. Jf. [1919 p.222] var den første dog Ansgar, udnævnt i 831. Karl afholdt koncilier, der var betydende, selv om de ikke kirke-territorialt var særligt omfattende. Der står mere om kirkeforholdene under kirkehistorien.

Ludvig den Fromme
Ludvig I den Fromme delte riget mellem sine tre sønner, Lothar - Pepin - Ludvig, men da en fjerde søn kom til i 823, ønskede faderen, at også denne søn fik en bid af kagen, nemlig Aquitanien, der ellers var lovet Pepin. Denne ændring fik de tre ældste sønner til at gøre oprør. Faderens oprindelige plan var at lade Lothair få Germania, og han blev også forudbestemt til at overtage kejserværdigheden efter faderen.

Pepin skulle være konge over Aquitanien, Pepin I af Aquitaine fra 814, og Ludvig (005) skulle herske over Bayern og omliggende lande. Inden planen gennemføres, døde Pepin i 838.

Da Ludvig den Fromme døde i Ingelheim 840, brød sønnernes oprør for alvor ud, og Ludvig den Tyske og Karl den Skaldede slog sig sammen og kæmpede mod Lothair, der fra Italien forsøgte at få magt også nord for Alperne. Kampenes hovedslag stod i Frankrig ved Fontenoy i 841. De to brødre svor hinanden at stå sammen mod Lothair, og det er fra denne lejlighed, i 842, at vi har det første dokument med sprogene fransk og tysk: den ene svor på fransk og den anden på tysk. I 843 blev alle brødrene forligte, eller Lothair blev tvunget til at acceptere kejserrigets deling. Traktaten kaldes efter byen for Verduntraktaten, men det er usikkert, om det var Verdun ved Meusefloden, eller Verdun-sur-le-Doubs, lidt syd for Dijon, der var stedet.

Nogle måneder senere, i november samme år i Coulaines, sluttede kejseren en traktat med adelen om rigets styring. Denne aftale er senere blevet betragtet som grundlæggelsen af det Vestfrankiske Rige, altså begyndelsen til Frankrigs selvstændighed.

Ved disse aftaler fik Karl den Skaldede Frankrig og Baskerlandet = Vestfranken; Ludvig den Tyske fik Germania, der stadig kan kaldes Østfranken, og Lothair fik Italien, Burgund og en mindre bufferzone, Lotharingien = Lothari Regnum = Lorraine, mellem Karl og Ludvig, men med de vigtige byer: Rom, Pavia og Aachen. Lothair fik også kejserværdigheden.

Bufferzonens nordlige del fra Nordfrisien til Basel og mod vest til Verdun og Brügge dannede Nedre Lothringen og Øvre Lothringen = Lower Lorraine og Upper Lorraine - navne afledt af Lothairs navn. Samme område med nogen forlængelse mod øst kendes også under navnet Austrasien.

Sønden derfor strækker Burgund sig til Marseilles, grænsende mod øst til Lombardiet i Italien. Mod vest ligger Aquitanien og norden for Aquitanien kaldes Frankrigsområdet for Neustrien.

Da Lothair døde i 855 havde ingen af hans tre sønner produceret en mandlig arving, så Lothair IIs Lothringen deltes efter hans død i 869 mellem Ludvig den Tyske og Karl den Skaldede. Da kejser Ludvig II dør i 875, blev Karl den Skaldede kejser. Han fik kun lov at beholde værdigheden i et par år og døde i 877. Ludvig den Tyske var død i 876, og riget blev delt mellem hans svage sønner, Carloman og Louis III. Sønnerne døde kort tid derefter på nær den yngste; Karl den Tykke, som regerede et forenet rige, indtil han blev afsat i 887.

I 880 indgår Ludvig III, † 882, og Carloman, † 884, en overenskomst, hvori den vestfrankiske del af Lorraine overlades Ludvig III.

For at få den rette baggrund for Karl den Store er hans forældre medtaget i slægtstabellen herunder.

Efter den karolingiske periode
Efter det karolingiske dynasti omfattede det tyske område ved år 900 stort set det nuværende Tyskland, Holland og Schweiz, men østgrænsen var endnu ikke trukket så langt mod øst som i dag. Østrig strakte sig ikke helt til Wien. Folkeslagene var delt i fire hovedgrupper: sakserne, bayerne, frankerne og svaberne med en mindre portion thüringer. Mod vest var der to mindre folkegrupper i hhv. øvre og nedre Lotharingia = Lorraine.

De saksiske fyrster
Den næste linje, der regerede riget, blev af Arnulfs slægt (006) og kaldt de saksiske regenter. Stammen kaldtes på tysk for der Liudolfingischen Dynastie. Se under Sachsen om de saksiske fyrster.

Slægtens første fyrste var Henrik I Fuglefænger (014), der det meste af sin regeringstid måtte kæmpe mod oprør fra hertugerne af Bayern og Schwaben, og først under sønnen Otto I var slægtens magtbase sikret, og området blev i en periode Europas stærkeste.

Henrik I af Tyskland fik ved tronbestigelsen i 919 magten over de to hertugdømmer Sachsen og Franken, mens de to andre betydende hertugdømmer, Bayern og Schwaben ikke ville acceptere Henrik som konge. Hertug Burchard af Schwaben blev senere på året tvunget til at anerkende Henrik, men samtidig valgte hertugen af Bayern og nogle adelsslægter fra det østlige Franken hertug Arnulf af Bayern som deres konge, eller rettere antikonge. I 921 blev Arnulf over for Henriks militærmagt tvunget til at anerkende ham som konge over hele Tyskland.

Den vestfrankiske del var dog på vej til at glide ud af kejserriget, og styret koncentrerede sig reelt mere om at udvide sit territorium mod øst, hvor magyarerne i det meste af perioden truede med indfald. I 928 tvang Henrik dog kong Giselbert af Lorraine til også at anerkende sig som konge, og derved kom denne vestligste del af Tyskland, Lothringen und Rheinland, tilbage til riget. Giselbert blev yderligere pacificeret gennem giftemål med Henriks datter Gerbera i 928.

Henriks sidste militære udfald var mod nord, hvor han kæmpede mod vikingerne fra Danmark, der hærgede ind i Tyskland. Henrik annekterede Slesvig.

Henrik I blev den første konge over området kaldet Tyskland, som af sin efterfølger også fik navnet Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation = Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation. Grundlæggelsesdatoen regnes under dette navn gerne fra Otto I's (015) kroning 02/02 962. Henrik er også omtalt under Quedlinburg.

Ottos magtcentrum lå omkring Harzen, og han grundlagde i Magdeburg en slags hovedstad - selv om fyrsterne endnu rejste omkring med hoffet over hele riget, så regeringen foregik fra skiftende opholdssteder. Om en centraladministration var der endnu ikke tale.

Den største »centralmagt« lå hos kirken, og Otto belønnede kirken med skatte- og afgiftsfritagelse og gav dem egen jurisdiktion. Det skete i 951.
[9690 p.35ff]

De to historieskrivere fra perioden er Widukind fra Corvey og Thietmar fra Merseburg.

Stilmæssigt betegnes stilen fra 920/930 til 1000 som ottonsk;
Stilen fra 1000 til 1050 betegnes som sen-ottonsk og;
Stilen fra 1050 til 1080 kaldes tidlig-salisk. Alle disse periodeårstal er omtrentlige.
Ottonernes karakteristiske nyhed var kirkernes tværskibe, der bliver større og mere markante end tidligere. Mere om arkitektur her.

Den frankisk, saliske slægt
Herefter overgik regentrollen til den salisk-frankiske slægt, der nedstammede fra Konrad I (008), men også har aner fra Ottonske slægt på kvindesiden.

Tyskland
Områdefordelingen i denne periode var i store træk således:
Tysklands område fra den danske grænse og sydpå hed Sachsen, og det gik til Hersfeld - Harzen; derefter kom Franken = Franconia til en linje på højde med Strassbourg. Syd derfor lå Svabien, der på Alpehøjderyggen grænsede til Italiens kongerige Lombardiet.

Østen herfor lå fra nord Pommern = Pomerania - til en linje ca. ved Magdeburg; Lusatien og Meissen dækkede indtil Böhmen, og sønden herfor kom Bayern, der mod syd rakte til Alpehøjderyggen og grænsede mod Italien ved områderne Verona og Friuli.

Vesten for Tyskland hed områderne fra nord Nedre og Øvre Lotringen samt Burgund. Vesten herfor lå Det Vestfrankiske Rige, hvor den sydlige del stadig kaldes Aquitanien. Bretagne og Normandiet mod Kanalegnene var ikke helt indgået i Frankrig endnu, men var selvstændige hertugdømmer.

10.   Ingibiorg, * 1180; døde spæd;
11.   En søn, * 1182; † 1182;

Med en elskerinde, Ida af Bileskastel, fik han:
12.   Mechtilde = Matilda; der giftede sig med Henrik Borwin af Venden, † 1228, der grundlagde det Mecklenburgske dynasti.

I 1143 erobrede Henrik Løve området Polaben ved at besejre grev Heinrich von Badewide.

Ved Rigsdagen i Goslar 1154 gav kejser Friedrich Barbarossa Henrik retten til at udnævne biskopperne i Oldenburg, Mecklenburg og Ratzeburg. Henrik udnævnte Evermod, † 1178, til den første biskop i Ratzeburg. Evermod var Præmonstratenser fra Vor Frues kloster i Magdeburg.

Henrik blev hertug af Bayern fra 1156 som Henrik XII. Samtidig blev den østrigske del skilt ud af Bayern. År 1157 grundlagde Henrik München. Henrik mistede Det Bayerske Hertugdømme i 1180.

Henrik erobrede Lübeck fra grev Adolf II af Holstein og rekonstruerede 1159 Lübeck for senere, 1160, at overføre bispetronen fra Oldenburg til Lübeck. Samtidig fik han gennem aftaler med fyrster og handelsstormænd rundt Østersøen skabt grundlaget for Hansestaden Lübecks udvikling. Senere udnævnte han Braunschweig til sit regeringssæde.

I 1160 gjorde Henrik Schwerin til Mecklenburgs biskopsæde. Efter Valdemar I havde erobret Rügen, var der kampe mellem Danmark og Mecklenburg. Freden blev oprettet igen i 1171, da Valdemars søn, Knud IV (VI), blev gift med Henriks datter, Gertrud.

Henrik tog i 1172 på pilgrimstur til Det Hellige Land og besøgte undervejs den byzantinske kejser, Manuel I Komnenus. Efter tilbagekomsten gik venskabet med den byzantinske kejser over styr, og Henrik mistede sin magt. I 1180 blev hans sachsiske hertugdømme delt, så de to bispestifter Kölln og Paderborn dannede et nyt hertugdømme kaldet Westphalia, som kom under köllnerærkebiskoppen, mens Sachsens østlige del dannede et len, som en søn af Brandenburghertugen fik. Hertugdømmet Bayern gik til Otto von Wittelsbach, og biskoppen i Würzburg fik et hertugdømme i det østlige Franken.
 

Interregnum i perioden 1137 til 1138.

Slægten Hohenstaufen
Slægtens stamtræ begynder med Henrik IV (021).

Ved slægtens indledende magtkampe mod pavestyret og andre opponenter foregik der også udskiftning af nogle områdefyrster. Blandt andet blev Holsten givet til Adolf af Schauenburg. Brandenburg Mark var samlet af Albert der Bär, der også fik Nordmark. Meissen og Lusatien blev givet til Conrad af Wettin. Til sammen indgik områderne i de konstellationer, der kom til at danne det fremtidige Preussen.

Senere, efter freden i Venedig i 1177, blev der igen rokeret internt. Sachsen blev opdelt, og Bayern formindsket ved at Tyrol blev udskilt, og der etableredes et hertugdømme Steiermark. Bayern gik til Otto af Wittelsbach. Henry Løve, der først havde samlet områderne, som faderen havde mistet, tabte dem igen, men beholdt efter nogle oprørsforsøg Braunschweig og Lüneburg, men endte med at være i komplet unåde hos kejser Frederik.

Fredrik II havde en ussel barndom, men fik en god uddannelse ved det sicilianske hof, der på det tidspunkt var et af de bedst udviklede lærdomscentre i Europa. Hans chancer for at blive kejser var ikke store, da Otto IV var ved magten i Nordeuropa, men da han blev afsat af Welfer-prinserne, så blev Frederik, da han var atten år, kejser i 1212, og senere efter paveskiftet til Honorius III i 1216 blev Frederik 22/11 1220 kronet i Rom. Betalingen herfor var et løfte fra kejseren om at tage på korstog. Dette forberedte han sig på i de næste par år.

Konge over Castilien og Leon 1252-1284;
Aspirerede til kejsertitlen i hele perioden 1257-1272; hans moder, Beatrice, var barnebarn af kejser Frederick I.


Herefter indledes den lange Habsburgske periode.

Habsburgernes slægt
Omkring slutningen af 1100-tallet var de valgbemyndigede til kejservalget i Tyskland indskrænket til følgende seks:

Ærkbiskoppen af Mainz,
Ærkebiskoppen af Kölln,
Ærkebiskoppen af Trier,
Pfalzgreven, eng.: Count Palatine,
Hertugen af Sachsen,
Markgreven af Preussen og
Böhmens konge.

Note om Pfalzgreven
Oprindelsen til begrebet skal findes i antikken. På latin var der en embedsmandstitel, palatinus; embedet var en slags slotsforvalter for kejserens slot, palatium. Ordet blev i middelalderen også benyttet om officerer tæt på en fyrste, hirdmænd, og hvis disse var fornemme nok, adelige nok, blev titlen udvidet til comes palatinus, greve.

Mere specielt blev ordet brugt om en af de tyske fyrster, der deltog i kejservalget. Oprindelsen til dette var også et (eller flere) hofembeder ved de middelalderlige tyske hoffer. Hos Karl den Store og ottonerne var embedets funktion en slags hofjurist eller statsanklager. Han administrerede edsaflæggelser, forfattede anklageskrifter og holdt register over forhandlinger i retten.

Senere i middelalderen fik han større selvstændige beføjelser og kunne dømme i visse sager. Embedet kunne samtidig omfatte andre hofadministrative funktioner inden for regnskab og organisation.

Under de efterfølgende regenter, de salisk-frankiske og de saksiske kejsere, blev titlen givet til adelsmænd, der repræsenterede kejseren eller kongen i diverse provinser, en slags amtmand eller guvernør, der sørgede for lov og orden, skatteopkrævning og at profit fra kongelige godser blev returneret til kongen. De områder, hvor dette system særligt blev brugt, var Sachsen, Bayern og Lorraine.

Embedet forsvandt efterhånden alle andre steder i Tyskland end i Lorraine, og fra Frederick I's tid blev begrebet alene knyttet til fyrsten over Lorraine - på dansk blev det til Pfalzgreven og på engelsk til Countship Palatine of the Rhine = the Palatinate. Titlen har sporadisk været anvendt både i England og i Nordamerika i kolonitiden.

Området i Tyskland, der blev Pfalzgrevens, er delt i to. Det ene ligger på begge sider af Rhinen mellem Mainflodens og Neckarflodens udløb i Rhinen med hovedstad i Heidelberg. Det andet område ligger i Bayerns nordlige del omkring floden Naab, før den løber ud i Donau og derfra mod Böhmens skove mod øst. Efter middelalderen har områderne haft omskiftelige fyrster og været del i religionskrigene omkring reformationen. Note om Begge Sicilier
Begrebet Begge Sicilier eller den engelske betegnelse The Two Sicilies dækker over rigsdannelser for området Syditalien og øen Sicilien. Men betegnelserne passer kun inden for bestemte tidsperioder. Engelsk historie anvender udtrykket om perioden fra ca. 1450 til ca. 1850, mens historieskrivningen fra Danmark anfører tidsperioden som smallere brugt korrekt om årene 1815-1861. Se regentlisterne fra 1266 sidst i de franske lister. Mere omfattende er området behandlet i teksten om normannerne.

Områderne blev først forenet under samme styre af normannerne i det elvte århundrede, hvor Robert Guiscard og hans broder Roger I erobrede landene fra muslimerne, de byzantinske kejsere og lombarderne fra Norditalien. Normannerfyrsten Roger II, Roger Is søn, tog i 1130 kongetitlen af Sicilien og Apulien. Forårsaget af ægteskab mellem Roger IIs datter, Constantia, og Henrik, tysk prins af Hohenstaufenslægten, senere Henrik VI (026), tog denne slægt fra ca. 1180 kongetitlen over Sicilien til sig, og i 1194 blev Henrik VI kronet i Palermos domkirke. Særligt for Henrik VIs søn, Frederick II, kejser fra 1198 til 1250, blev området en betydelig brik i hans politiske liv.

Efter Hohenstauferne var uddøde, gik omåderne til den franske kong Louis IXs broder, Karl af Anjou = Charles af Anjou fra 1266, og han flyttede hovedstaden fra Palermo til Napoli og regerede med hård hånd indtil 1282, hvor et oprør - begivenheden kaldes for den Sicilianske Vesper - fik området løsrevet fra Anjouerne.
[9753]

Områderne blev nu separeret, og den franske fyrsteslægt, Angevinerne, fik herredømmet over Syditalien, mens det spanske dynasti fra Aragonien fik øen Sicilien under den daværende kong Peter III, der var svigersøn til Manfred (under 029), der havde været statholder på Sicilien og var Frederick IIs søn. De siddende regenter i begge områder påkaldte sig titlen konge af Sicilien. Sicilien blev dog hurtigt delvis selvstyrende, for efter Peter IIIs død allerede i 1285 blev styret overdraget hans yngre sønner: Jakob fra 1285-1291 og Frederick fra 1291-1337.

De to områder blev igen forenet i 1443 under den aragonske konge, Alfonso V (Sp. A18). Ved den lejlighed tog han den latinske titel Rex Utriusque Siciliae = king of the Two Sicilies. Samme titel benyttede hans to efterfølgende generationer: sønnen Ferdinand I og sønnesønnen Ferdinand II.

Fra 1504 var området under spansk overherredømme og blev regeret af vicekonger. Titlen blev genbrugt af regenterne op gennem århundrederne - for det meste Habsburgere og spaniere - og fra 1815 til 1861 blev det officielle navn på områderne Begge Sicilier = The Two Sicilies. Derefter indgik områderne i den nydannede italienske stat. Ved kundgørelsen om sammenlægningen den 12/12 1816 ændrede kong Ferdinand V sin titel til kong Ferdinand I, og sammenlægningen havde kongen dog accepteret betingelserne for allerede den 12/7 1815. Der var tale om en østrigsk lydkonge.

I 1871 blev riget igen til et kejserrige under Hohenzollernslægten ved kejser Wilhelm I, 1871-1888. I 1888 blev sønnen Frederik III kejser, men døde samme år den 15/06 efter at have regeret i 99 dage, og pladsen udfyldtes af hans søn, Wilhelm II, der var kejser 1888-1918. Han døde i 1941 i Holland.
