Poppo II (died 1098), Count of Weimar-Orlamünde, was margrave of Carniola from 1070 and of Istria from 1096 to his death.
Life
Poppo was the son of Margrave Ulric I of Carniola and Sophia of Hungary,[1] daughter of King Béla I of Hungary. He succeeded his father upon his death in 1070.
Poppo married Richgard (lt: Richardis), daughter of Count Engelbert I, Margrave of Istria,[2] who governed Istria until his death on 1 April 1096. According to the 1170 Historia Welforum chronicle, Poppo and Richgard had two daughters:
- Sophia of Istria (d. 1132), married Count Berthold II of Andechs,[1] mother of Margrave Berthold I of Istria (1110 or 1122 – 1188)
- Hedwig,[1] married firstly Count Herman I of Winzenburg and secondly Count Adalbert II of Bogen.
Poppo remained a loyal supporter of the Salian emperor Henry IV during the Investiture Controversy. Because of his lack of surviving sons, he was succeeded by his younger brother Ulric II.
