or Meglitz. The ancient market-town and caftle of Meglofs, or Eglof together
with the feveral villages, hamlets and farms belonging to it, are immediately

patronage of the town of Tfni. Afterwards they came by mortgage, though
with the entire refervation of their privileges, to the houfe of Aujtria, who

Ahenfpcrg for 30,000 florins, who by virtue thereof enjoy both a feat and
voice in the Diet of the Empire in the college of Sivahian Counts, and ever

Situate near the abbey of Urfperg on the river Mindel, and formerly belonging
as an Imperial knights-land to the canton of the Danube. George
Lewis, Count of Sifize?i(iorJ got pofTeflion of this lorddiip, and entered into
an agreement with the Imperial knights, in which they yielded up to him
their right to the fame ; whereupon in the year 1 677 he obtained a feat and
vote in the Diet of Swabia, and aUb in that of the Empire among the college
of Swabian Counts. About the beginning of the eighteenth century
it defcended to John Philip Count of Stadion, who in the year 1708 obtained
a feat and vote on the bench of Counts in the circle of Sivabia, and
in 1709 on that of the Empire in the college of Swabian Counts. Its matricular
aßellment to the Empire I do not know ; but to the chamber of
Wetzlar its contingency is eight rixdollars, eight kruitzers.
