Meinhard II of Gorizia-Tyrol

Meinhard II (c. 1238–1295) of the House of Gorizia ruled Gorizia and Tyrol with his brother Albert from 1258, taking Tyrol when they divided their lands in 1271. As boys the brothers had been hostages at Hohenwerfen until their father's death.

By marrying Elisabeth of Bavaria, widow of Conrad IV, he became stepfather of Conradin. He allied with Rudolf of Habsburg, fought at the Marchfeld against Ottokar II in 1278 and received Carinthia in fief in 1286.

He built up Tyrol, founding Stams Abbey, minting the Groschen and issuing a vernacular Landrecht. He died in 1295; his daughter Elisabeth became German queen and his son Henry succeeded him.
