!!!Meinhardiner, Herrschergeschlecht

Meinhardiner, ruling dynasty, mentioned around 1130 as Counts of 
Gorizia ( Goerzer Grafen); inherited the Tyrol in 1253 
(Meinhard III of Gorizia, as Count  Meinhard I of the 
Tyrol). In 1271, Albert II (Gorizia) and  Meinhard II 
(Tyrol) had to share their inherited territories and divided them 
along the Muehlbach Gorge on the west side of the Puster valley. In 
1286, Meinhard II was given Carinthia, which fell to the 
Habsburgs in 1335 after the death of his son  Heinrich VI (King 
of Bohemia 1307-1310). In the Tyrol, Heinrich's daughter,  Margarete 
Maultasch (and her husbands, then her son  Meinhard III)  reigned 
until 1363, when she had to hand her territories over to the  
Habsburgs in accordance with an inheritance contract.
