In 1130, the village of Sindelfingen (Germany), along with the neighboring village of Böblingen, came into the possession of the House of Welfen through Uta von Schauenburg, the heiress of Count Gottfried of Calw and wife of Duke Welfen. During the ensuing inheritance dispute, the village of Sindelfingen was burned to the ground in 1133 by Uta’s cousin, Adalbert IV of Calw. Despite the destruction, Adalbert lost the power struggle against his opponent, the Welfen family. The Welfen retained the village and the collegiate church of Sindelfingen. Adalbert, however, was permitted to keep Calw Castle and a portion of his holdings as a fief from the Welfen. He came to terms with the new power structure and, from then on, stood loyally by King Konrad III’s side during important military and political undertakings.

I AM ABSOLUTELY FUCKING LIVID!
