Ulrich von Dornum
Ulrich von Dornum (1465/66[1] - 12 March 1536) was a son of the East Frisian chieftain Sibet Attena and his second wife Margarete von Westerwolde. Through his marriage to Essa von Oldersum in 1494, Ulrich von Dornum became lord of half of the Lordship of Oldersum, as well as of Jarßum and Widdelswehr.[1] His inheritance in Harlingerland, which his father had left in his will, was withheld from him by his older half brother Hero Oomkens. His wife Essa von Oldersum died in 1515. Since their marriage had remained childless, her inheritance reverted to the House of Oldersum. Ulrich married for a second time, this time with Hyma von Grimersum in 1519. In June 1526, Ulrich von Dornum initiated and organized the so-called Colloquy of Oldersum in the Oldersum Church. The transcript of the Oldersum Colloquy, which he wrote, was printed by Nikolaus Schirlentz in Wittenberg that same year. By distributing this document, Ulrich von Dornum made a decisive contribution to the widespread spread and rapid implementation of the Reformation in East Frisia. References
