Mosback

The Mosback family of Duplin represented here by Lord Robert, Earldom of Ile de Lamneth and Seneschal of Mosback. Mosback/Mosbach developed around the Benedictine monastery "Monasterium Mosabach" and is first mentioned in a document in the 9th century. Gradually, a community grew out of this spiritual nucleus which received the rights of a free city after it had been granted several privileges in the 13th century (first authenticated date: 1241). Before the town became Palatine it was self-governing.
