Family history Duke of Teck<\/h2>\n

The Dukes of Teck \u2013 From the Alps to the British Royal Family<\/p>\n

High above Owen, the Teckberg dominates the Alb Valley. Here, the Z\u00e4hringer built a castle in the 12th century. When Adalbert, a younger son of Duke Konrad of Z\u00e4hringen, received a share of the rule, a new line was established. Since 1187, their family members have been called Dukes of Teck \u2013 a proud title for a small territory.<\/p>\n

Around Burg Teck they built a dense network of castles, officials, and towns. Kirchheim became a city under their rule and received walls, a market, and a nunnery. Owen, Gutenberg, and possessions on the upper Neckar also belonged to them at one time. Berthold von Teck served as bishop of Strasbourg from 1223 to 1244. Konrad von Teck was even considered a candidate for the German throne in 1292.<\/p>\n

At the end of the 13th century, the house was divided. Costs and inheritances limited its possibilities. In 1303, half of the estate went to Austria and later to W\u00fcrttemberg. Duke Friedrich pawned the remaining part in 1359 and sold it in 1381 to W\u00fcrttemberg. The family retained its duke title and gained a new focus with Mindelheim.<\/p>\n

The last medieval duke, Ludwig von Teck, chose the religious career. He studied in Padua, became Patriarch of Aquileja in 1412 and participated in the Council of Basel. With his death in 1439, the family line came to an end. W\u00fcrttemberg took over the title Coat of arms and led Teck in its own name since its elevation to the duchy in 1495.<\/p>\n

In the 19th century, the W\u00fcrttemberg prince Franz, son of Duke Alexander, once again received the name Teck: in 1863 as a prince, in 1871 as a duke. His daughter Mary married the later British King George V and became Queen in 1910. In 1917, the family relinquished their German titles and adopted the name Cambridge. Thus, Teck\u2019s story is intertwined with European royal history, starting from a Swabian manor house in the heart of Europe.<\/p>\n
