Family history Count of Egmont

Graaf van Egmont – The history of the Egmont House

Das Haus Egmont entstand im mittelalterlichen Kennemerland an der nordholländischen Küste. Seine frühen Herren waren als Schutzvögte eng mit der berühmten Abtei Egmond verbunden. Nahe dem Kloster errichteten sie ihre Burg „Slot op den Hoef“, die nach Bränden mehrfach erneuert wurde. Jan van Egmond ließ sie nach 1321 großzügig wiederaufbauen und machte sie zum sichtbaren Mittelpunkt wachsender Familienmacht.

Im Dienst der Grafen von Holland gewannen die Egmonts Ämter, Land und Einfluss. Sie heirateten in führende Häuser der Niederlande ein und teilten sich in mehrere Linien. Aus einem Zweig stammte Arnold van Egmont, der 1423 Herzog von Geldern wurde. Die Stammlinie blieb in Holland tonangebend: Jan III. wirkte als Statthalter von Holland, Zeeland und Westfriesland. Kaiser Maximilian erhob ihn 1486 zum Grafen von Egmont; 1491 wurde er Ritter des Goldenen Vlieses.

Die bekannteste Gestalt war Lamoraal van Egmont, geboren 1522. Als Feldherr Karls V. und Philipps II. errang er glänzende Siege bei Saint-Quentin und Gravelines. Er wurde Statthalter von Flandern und Artois, Ritter des Goldenen Vlieses und 1553 Fürst von Gavere. Zugleich setzte er sich gemeinsam mit anderen niederländischen Großen für eine gemäßigtere Regierung und gegen religiöse Härte ein. Herzog Alba ließ ihn 1567 verhaften; seine Hinrichtung mit dem Grafen von Hoorn am 5. Juni 1568 erschütterte Europa und wurde zu einem starken Symbol des niederländischen Aufstands.

Lamoraals Kinder führten das Haus in den südlichen Niederlanden weiter. Sein Sohn Lamoraal II. und spätere Grafen bewahrten die Titel Egmont und Gavere, während sich die politischen Verhältnisse grundlegend wandelten. Mit Procope François endete 1707 die männliche Grafenfolge; über Maria Clara Angelica und verwandte Linien ging das dynastische Erbe weiter. Schlossfundamente in Egmond, Denkmäler in Zottegem sowie Goethes Drama und Beethovens Musik halten den Namen bis heute lebendig.
