Tuta from Formbach

Epitaph of Tuta von Formbach in the Lambertuskirche von Suben from the first half of the 15th century

Tuta von Formbach (* 1037 ^[1] ; † around 1100) was the founder of the Suben monastery and possibly the second wife of King Bélas I of Hungary .

Life

Tuta was the daughter of Count Heinrich I (Hesso) von Formbach († around 1030 or 1046 ^[2] ) and his wife Himildrud. After the early death of her only brother Herimann († 1030), the possessions around Suben , including the Suben Castle, and those in the Pramtal came to Tuta. Her sister Himiltrudis received mainly goods west of the Inn. The sisters received the lucrative transfer duty at Schärding in equal parts.

In the Suben Castle, which also contained a St. Lambert's Church, Tuta set up a secular collegiate monastery ( clerici communiter viventes ) in the middle of the 11th century , although this is historically difficult to understand. ^[3] During the Investiture Controversy (1076–1122) there were armed conflicts between King Heinrich IV and Pope Gregory VII , in which the Counts of Formbach, Bishop Altmann of Passau and Duke Welf of Bavariastood on the side of the Pope. As a result, Heinrich IV occupied Passau in 1078 and expelled the bishop and also devastated the Formbach estates of Griesbach , Formbach , Neuburg and probably Suben as well. At that time Tuta probably fled to Hungary with her cousin Count Eckbert I and returned from there in 1084. It could be that at that time the priestly community was founded in Suben instead of the castle. (Her sister Himiltrud did the same with Formbach Castle .) The monastery in Suben was probably re-founded by her great-grandson, Bishop Altmann von Trient, in 1126/1142. ^[4] A document from Salzburg Archbishop Eberhard I.By 1153, " Trent Bishop Altmannus Subenensem assembly once the Queen was safe at first based restaravit name ... ".

After the death of Richenza of Poland († 1058), Tuta possibly became the second wife of the Hungarian king Béla I in 1059. How Tuta came to the Hungarian royal court is not known. She later married Engelbrecht III, Count in Pustertal and Count Palatine in Carinthia. It is not known exactly when Tuta died. The inscription on her Gothic grave slab, which was probably acquired under Provost Matthäus Meermoser, contains the information MCXXXVI Kls May ; but this cannot be true, as Tuta still installed her son Koloman as head of the monastery in Suben in 1095. The whole inscription on the grave slab reads: "Hye leyt die hochgeporen chünichleychis sex czu reluctantly called Tuta donor decz current gotshaus hie czu Suben died MCXXXVI KIs May "
