TECK

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 499 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TAV-THE
TECK , a ducal castle in the kingdom of
Wurttemberg
 , immediately to the N. of the Swabian Jura and S. of the town of Kirchheim, crowning a
ridge
  (2544 ft.) of the same name.
It was destroyed in the Peasants' War (1525).
The duchy of Teck was acquired early in the 11th
century
 
by Berthold,
count
  of Zahringen, whose
great
 -grandson Albert, or Adalbert, styled himself duke of Teck. In 1381 it passed both by conquest and purchase to
Wurttemberg
 . The
title
 , which had lapsed with the extinction of the Zahringen line in
1439, was revived in 1495 by the German King
Maximilian
  I., who bestowed it upon the dukes of Wurttemberg. The dignity
was renounced by Duke Frederick William Charles upon his
elevation
  to the rank of king in 18o6. In 1863 the
title
  " prince of Teck " was conferred by King William I. of Wurttemberg upon the children of Duke Alexander of Wurttemberg
(18041885) by his morganatic
marriage
  with Claudine, countess Rhedey, ennobled as countess of Hohenstein; in 1871 Prince Francis, the eldest son of Duke Alexander, was created duke of Teck. His eldest son
Adolphus
  (b. 1868) was in 1910 the holder of the title.
