Ottovon Salm Greve

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_I,_Count_of_Salm His parents were the German anti-king Hermann of Salm and his wife Sophia of Formbach. Around 1115, he married Gertrude of Northeim, the widowof

Count Palatine Sigfried of the Rhine and heiress of Margrave Henry of Frisia and Northeim and Gertrude of Brunswick, who was the sister of Richenza of Northeim, the consort of Emperor Lothair III. He constructed Rheineck Castle and from c. 1124, he styled himself Otto of Rheineck, after his castle. After his stepson Count Palatine William of the Rhine had died in 1140, he claimed the County Palatine of the Rhine. However, King Conrad III of Duitsland, who had been elected in 1138, decided that the County Palatine was a completed fief, and hence fell back to the King, who gave it to his brother-in-law and devoted supporter Herman of Stahleck. Otto managed to keep Treis Castle until 1148, and Rheineck Castle until 1151. In 1148, war broke out between Otto and the Emperor. The Emperor took Treis Castle in 1148, and gave it to the Elector of Trier. In 1151, he captured and destroyed Rheineck Castle. ----------------------- http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FRANCONIA.htm#OttoSalmRheineckdied1150 ===GRAFEN von RHEINECK=== Rheineck is located on the river Rhine between Remagen and Andernach[1986].
