• (Geschiedenis) .Source 1

  De Babenbergers waren een geslacht afkomstig uit Bamberg in Frankenland, dat van 976 tot 1248 de markgraven en hertogen van Oostenrijk leverde, tot de Habsburgers de macht overnamen.
  
  De Babenbergers stamden af van de Robertijnen. De vroegst bekende Bamberger was Poppo, die in de vroege 9e eeuw graaf was van Grabfeldgouw, een gebied tussen het huidige Thüringen en Beieren. Zijn zoon Poppo werd markgraaf in Thüringen van 880 tot 892, toen hij door Arnulf van Karinthië afgezet werd, ten voordele van de Konradijnen. Dit leidde tot de Babenbergse twist tussen de Babenbergers en de Konradijnen die haar hoogtepunt bereikte tijdens het bewind van Lodewijk IV het Kind in het begin van de 10e eeuw. In de slag bij Fritzlar van 906 behaalden de Konradijnen echter de overwinning en palmden zij Frankenland in.
  
  In 976 werd Leopold van Babenberg markgraaf van de kleine Oostmark in het oosten van Beieren. Liutpold breidde het gebied uit ten nadele van de Hongaren.
  
  Dankzij de steun van zijn opvolgers aan Hendrik II en Hendrik III volgde verdere gebiedsuitbreiding. Leopold III huwde de dochter van keizer Hendrik IV. Opvolgers van Leopold III werden ook hertog van Beieren, en in 1156 werd Oostenrijk van markgraafschap tot hertogdom verheven.
  
  Na het kinderloos overlijden van Frederik II in 1246 viel het bestuur over Oostenrijk in handen van Ottokar II van Bohemen en nadien van Rudolf I van Habsburg. De Habsburgers zouden daarna Oostenrijk blijven besturen tot 1918.

  Poppo I van Grabfeld (geb ca. 790) was een vooraanstaande Frankische edelman in het begin van de 9e eeuw en de grondlegger van de dynastie van de Babenbergers.
  
  Poppo wordt voor het eerst vermeld in 819. Hij was graaf van Grabfeld, Saalgau en Tullifeld, en markgraaf van Friesland. In 838 leidde hij samen met Gebhard van de Lahngouw, Adalbert van Metz en Otgar van Mainz, aartsbisschop van Mainz, het verzet tegen Lodewijk de Duitser die tegen Lodewijk de Vrome in opstand was gekomen. In 839 wordt hij nog genoemd bij een goederenruil maar als Lodewijk de Duitser zijn landsheer is geworden, verliest hij zijn vooraanstaande positie.

  The House of Babenberg was the ruling noble family of Austria from 976 to 1246. Originally from Bamberg in Franconia in present-day Bavaria, the Babenbergs were counts, margraves, and dukes in the Danube region of present-day Upper Austria, Lower Austria, and Styria.[1]

  One or two families
  
  The Babenberg family can be broken down into two distinct groups: 1) The Franconian Babenbergs, the so called Elder House of Babenberg, or Popponids out of which came the Hennebergs and the Counts of Schweinfurt. 2) Austrian Babenbergs which ruled Austria. The second group claimed to have originated from the first but scholars have not been able to verify that claim.

  Like the French royal Capetian dynasty, the Elder Babenbergs descended from the Robertians. The earliest known Babenberg was one Poppo, maybe a descendant of the Frankish count Cancor. In the early 9th century he appeared as a count in the Grabfeld, a historic region in northeastern Franconia bordering on Thuringia. One of his sons, Henry, sometimes called margrave and duke in Franconia under King Charles the Fat of East Francia, fell fighting against the Normans in 886; another, Poppo, was margrave in Thuringia from 880 to 892, when he was deposed by King Charles successor Arnulf of Carinthia. The Popponids had been favoured by Charles the Fat, but Arnulf reversed this policy in favour of the rival family of the Conradines from the Lahngau in Rhenish Franconia.
  
  The leaders of the Babenbergs were the three sons of Duke Henry, who called themselves after their castle of Babenberg on the upper Main, around which their possessions centred. The city of Bamberg was built around the ancestral castle of the family.
  The Babenberg feud
  
  The rivalry between the Babenberg and Conradine families was intensified by their efforts to extend their authority in the region of the middle Main, and this quarrel, known as the "Babenberg feud", came to a head at the beginning of the 10th century during the troubled reign of the German king Louis the Child. In the battle of Fritzlar in 906, the Conradines won a decisive victory, although count Conrad the Elder fell in the battle. Two of the Babenberg brothers were also killed. The third, Adalbert of Prague, was summoned before the imperial court by the regent Hatto I, Archbishop of Mainz, a partisan of the Conradines. He refused to appear, held his own for a time in his castle at Theres against the king's forces, but surrendered in 906, and in spite of a promise of safe-conduct by Hatto was beheaded.
  
  The Conradines became dukes of Franconia, while the Babenbergs lost their influence in Franconia.

• He died in the year 840, he was 43 years old.
