Bibra Family
The House of Bibra () was one of the leading ''Uradel'' (ancient noble) families in Franconia (northern part of Bavaria) and present day Thuringia from the mid-15th century to about 1600. Later on the family rose from ''Reichsritter'' (Imperial Knights) to ''Reichsfreiherr'' (Barons of the Holy Roman Empire). After the Holy Roman Empire dissolved, they were made ‘’Freiherr’‘ (Barons) of Bavaria and Bohemia. History The earliest references to the family include a document of Bishop Otto of Bamberg from the year 1119 of a ''Rupertus de Bibra''. In 1151 a ''Pertholdus (Berthold) de Bibra'' and his sons ''Pertholdus (Berthold)'' and ''Tagino'' are referenced in another document. The family prospered in numbers, wealth, and influence in the 15th century and early 16th century.
