- Ulric I of Carniola
Ulric I (also "Ulrich", "Odalric", or "Udalrich"; died
6 March 1070 ) was theMargrave of Carniola and Carinthia from 1045 andMargrave of Istria from 1060. He was the son and successor of Poppo I and Hadamut.On
31 July 1064 , theEmperor Henry IV donated land "in pago Histrie ... in comitatu Odalrici marchionis" ("in the country of Istria ... in the county of Margrave Ulric") to "prefato Odalrico marchioni" ("the prefect Ulric, margrave"). Again on5 March 1067 , Henry donated land "in pago Istria in marcha Odalrici marchionis" ("in the country of Istria in the march of Margrave Ulric"), this time to the churchFreising . Ulric was recorded as "Odalricus marchio Carentinorum" ("Ulric, margrave of the Carinthians") on his death.Ulric married Sophia, daughter of
Bela I of Hungary and his first wife, Ryksa or Richeza, daughter ofCasimir I of Poland . Alternatively, it has been suggested that she was the daughter of Bela and his second wife, Tuta von Formbach. Sophia was a sister ofLadislaus I of Hungary . Another alternateive hypothesis makes Sophia the daughter of Tuta andPeter of Hungary , but that seems highly unlikely. Sophie gave her first husband four children:
*Poppo II, his successor
*Ulric II, his brother's successor
*Richgard, married Eckard, Count ofScheyern
*Adelaide, married firstly Frederick,Vogt ofRegensburg , and secondly Udalschalk, Count ofLurngau References
