| Notes |
- Engelbert II was the Duke of Carinthia, Margrave of Istria and Carniola, Margrave of Verona, and from the House of Sponheim
Engelbert was the son of Count Engelbert I of Sponheim and his wife Hedwi, perhaps the daughter of the Billung duke Bernard II of Saxony.
About 1100 he established the County of Kraiburg on the inherited estates of his wife in Bavaria. Unlike his father, Engelbert II was a loyal supporter of the Salian dynasty. He stood as guarantor of German king Henry V at his coronation as Holy Roman Emperor in February 1111 and witnessed the Concordat of Worms with Pope Callixtus II in September 1122. In the same year his elder brother Henry III was created Duke of Carinthia and upon his death in 1123 Engelbert II succeeded him, having already replaced Count Ulric II of Weimar as margrave in Istria and Carniola about 1107.
