Additional information

Meinhard III ruled Görz during a period when the county was actively consolidating its position between the competing pressures of the Patriarchate of Aquileia and the rising Habsburgs. His coinage rights were hard-won — the counts of Görz had long contested minting privileges with ecclesiastical authorities in the region, and issues from this reign reflect an assertion of secular authority that the family would not fully secure for another generation.
