Rosina von Graben von Rain (died 1534Tirol, p 125), also called Rosina von Rain, was an Austrian noble woman, a member of the Graben von Stein family and heiress of the burgraviate of Sommeregg CastleCarinthia I.: Mitteilungen des Geschichtsvereins für Kärnten, Band 179 in Carinthia.
Biography Family Von Graben Rosina's father was the carinthian noble Ernst von Graben (d. 1513), son of Andreas von Graben (d. 1463),Walther Fresacher: Zur Geschichte des Schlosses Stein, p 127, in: Carinthia I, Band 3, 1973, by Historischer Verein Kärnten who ruled as burgrave at Sommeregg since 1507. Andreas had been an official of the Counts of Celje at Ortenburg; after their extinction in 1456, his son Ernst had received the Sommeregg estates in Upper Carinthia as a fief from the hands of the Habsburg king Maximilian I. Ernst's brother Virgil von Graben, Rosina's uncle, was a very powerful Austrian noble, Habsburg stattholder in the County of Gorizia and Maximilan's councillor.
Heritage of Sommeregg Since all of Virgil von Grabens sons were from his not legally binding marriage to Dorothea von Arnold (née Herbst von Herbstenburg) none of them could claim his inheritance. His brothers Heinrich, Cosmas, Wolfgang and Wolf Andrä von Graben also had no heirs. So Sommeregg, along with smaller estates, came to Rosina von Graben von Rain and her family, the Rainer von Rain.Carinthia I,, Zeitschrift für geschichtliche Landeskunde von Kärnten" (geleitet von Wilhelm Neumann), 163. Jahrgang, 1973, p 128/29.
Life
Upon her father's death in 1513, Rosina followed him up as burgravine (a sort of Viscountess) of the Sommeregg estates.Walter Fresacher: Zur Geschichte des Schlosses Stein, p 129/30 in: Carinthia I, Band 3, 1973, by Historischer Verein Kärnten She became also Lady of Doberdò within the comital lands of Gorizia.
