Agnes De Franconie (von Franken)(Waiblingen), Duchess of Swabia, Margravine of Austria[1]
1072 - 1143 (71 years)-
Name Agnes De Franconie (von Franken)(Waiblingen) Suffix Duchess of Swabia, Margravine of Austria Born 1072 Germany Gender Female History Agnes was born at the end of 1072, the second daughter of Emperor Heinrich IV and Berta de Savoie.
On 24 March 1079, when Agnes was seven, she was betrothed to Friedrich I, Herzog von Schwaben, son of Friedrich von Büren, Graf im Risgau, and Hildegard von Schwaben. Their marriage between 1086 and 1089 would give rise to the later claim of the house of Schwaben to the German throne. They had eleven children, of whom Friedrich II, Konrad III and Heilika would have progeny.
Friedrich died in 1105 and in 1106 Agnes became the second wife of Leopold III von Österreich, Markgraf von der Ostmark. The marriage was a reward for Leopold\'s backing of her brother, the future emperor Heinrich V against his father Emperor Heinrich IV. Agnes and Leopold had numerous children of whom Heinrich II, Agnes, Judith and Gertrud would have progeny.
Agnes was said to have used her strong religious faith and belief in the afterlife to sustain the loss of more than half of her children in her lifetime. She died in Klosterneuburg on 24 September 1143, almost seven years after her husband. The strong bonds between the Hohenstaufen and the Babenbergs were established through Agnes. Like her husband she was buried in the Augustinian monastery at Klosterneuburg. [2]Died 24 Sep 1143 Austria, age 71 Person ID I459 Ellie Wood Keith Last Modified 1 Mar 2018
