Notizen zu dieser Person
Der rheinische Zweig der Spanheimer wird mit Stephan I. greifbar, welcher ebenfalls um die Mitte des 11. Jahrhunderts urkundlich erwähnt wurde.[3] Eine Grafschaft Sponheim gab es damals noch nicht. Das Verwandtschaftsverhältniszwischen Siegfried I. und Stephan I. gilt als offen, es ist besitzrechlich zwar belegt, jedoch ist der Grad ungewiss.[4] Um 1124 heiratete Meginhard von Sponheim, wahrscheinlich der Enkel Stephans, Mechtild von Mörsberg. Mechtild war die Erbtochter von Adalbert von Mörsberg, der große Teile des Besitzes der Grafen von Nellenburg geerbt hatte.[Anm. 3] Vor allem die Besitzungen auf dem Hunsrück, so die Burg Dill, fielen an die Sponheimer, die auf diese Weise ihren Besitzstand erheblich erweiterten. Meginhard nannte sich auch erstmals Graf von Sponheim, so dass man ab dieser Zeit von einer Grafschaft Sponheim sprechen kann.[5]
