Lambert I von der Neuerburg, Burggraf von der Neuerburg

It's 'Wied-Neuenburg' and not 'Neuerburg'!

In some sources, it claims Lambert to be surnamed 'von der Neuerburg' and without close inspection this anomaly would go un-noticed. By familiarizing your self with the family branches involved helps greatly in identifying particular ancestors and their logical connections.

First, Let us take it back to Rorich 'The Little' Vogt von Hachenburg who also can be identified as Rorich von Blankenburg. His father, is claimed to be 'Heinrich von Westerburg' but if we consider the 'Westerburg-Runkel' connection, while lacking the understanding of familial history and family ties, creates a problem with Lambert's surname, 'von der Neuerburg'.

Second, considering the multiple references of those under oath (Rorich being one listed as a vassal) of Heinrich III, Graf and Grefen Mathilde von Sayn, Rorich, thus being one under their charge. This means, keeping within the rule of dynastic wedlock, either Mathilde or Heinrich von Sayn would be of direct relation. This again creates a problem with Lambert's, surname, 'von der Neuerburg'.

Third, the surname, 'von der Neuerburg', while being of blood relation, not only presents the 'obvious' roadblock in the ancestry of a 'Lambert von der Neuerburg' (whom there appears no real reference or record of serving any station, land records or verifying custodial care of any kind) but makes no logical sense or follow any rule of dynasticism nor is there any other familial connection, outside of possessing the surname, 'von der Neuerburg' itself.

Logically, after researching multiple sources, trying to identify 'Heinrich von Westerburg', it brought an interesting revelation:

"The only connection that would prove Heinrich von Westerburg' to be the father, if the identity of his wife revealed she was of 'von Wied-Neuenburg of Sayn' "

Initially, Rorichs mother was the only logical consideration, as it appeared that Heinrich von Westerburg was not the father due the nature of surname transitions. Although a clue arose from this vain of thought, that more-than suggested that 'von der Neuerburg' was most likely an understandable mistake considering the 'Neuer' and 'Neuen' are almost, exactly the same.

Through out the research undertaken, Dr. Thomas Bohn and others presented the issue and concluded that Lambert could not be identified as 'von der Neuerburg' as it lacked any logical sense nor did it follow the logical dynastic path. It was, as if, they just pop in and suddenly they're part of the family (That's exactly what happened!), while this obscured the genealogical ties and further confused who was who. A person possessing multiple surnames can make relations hard to find if they're recorded in multiple genealogical archives under their different surnames. And Heinrich III and Mathilde von Sayn were apparently lost without any understandable connection to the their own family.

Although, once the surname 'von der Neuerburg' was interchanged with 'von Wied-Neuenburg' everything came together in a a logical cohesive union, solving the puzzle. Could many historians and genealogist be wrong?

For those who don't know, It's simple, 'von der Neuerburg' translates 'of the New Castle' So the 'Wied-Neuenburg' surname in this branch of the family is supplanted by the surname associated with their New developed property. 'Wied' is 'Neuerburg' or more appropriately, 'Neuerburg' is of 'Wied'. As for 'Neuchatel', it's clear substantiated and understood to be 'Neuenburg'.

( [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuerburg_%28Wied%29 http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuerburg_(Wied)] )

(Wied is Neuerburg so maybe the name should have been universal as the coinage? ( Neuerburg ( Wied ) - Neuchatel ( Neuenburg ?)

The logical course of dynasticism is historically validated when considering the tight relations between [A] 'Wied' and 'Runkel', [B] Wied-Runkel and [C] Wied-Neuenburg. Is Lambert really a von der Neuerburg and Neuenburg?

It's Neuenburg not Neuerburg (or both) Reference Sources

Step by step Nymburk

Stop 1 - Nymburské fortification

Nymburk medieval walls in the harbor consists of a typical city skyline, complemented by a slender stone towers of the Church of St.. Giles. Park underneath one of the main places of the city, where he held many cultural events.

Walls, along with a moat, a small Valy, began to be constructed soon after the founding of King Ottokar II. (Ie after 1275). The largest building boom in the city, but it has seen during the reign of King Wenceslas II. at the turn of the 13th and 14 century. Nymburk, then referred to as Neuenburch or Neuenburg (by Gothic "New Castle", which stood on the site of today's District Court), was gradually surrounded by a massive brick wall with about 45 regularly spaced rectangular towers, towards the center open. The fortification wall was nearly 1,600 meters long and reached a height of 7-8 meters, the towers were about 3 m higher. Entering the city served four main gate towers - St. George, Velelibská and Bobnická and Elbe or Mostecká gate. This last gate was the largest and clutching her two side towers of unequal size. The gate guarded entrance to the city from the wooden bridge over the Elbe. It was built in connection with the construction of a new wooden bridge over the Elbe in the last phase of the fortifications of the city, probably around 1335. The fifth gate is called Fortna (see today's street Fortně) and provided access to the river (apparently there was the original entrance to the city via the old bridge, which replaced the primeval river crossing). All the gates were, unfortunately, during the 19th and early 20 century, gradually demolished due to expansion and modification of roads. Probably after the Hussite wars, the 2nd half of the 15th or at the beginning of the 16th century, was the modernization of fortifications built another, considerably wider the moat (Great Valy) and outer stone (argillite) wall. (Reliable written records about the development walls during the Middle Ages, however, there is not.). Outer wall was built of a marl and therefore was opposed to "red" brick called "white". Preserved from it only very small remnants.
