The Swabian nobility constituted a much less cohesive group than the nobility in neighbouring Bavaria. This was probably due originally to the disparate nature of the Swabian duchy which was divided into three distinct geographical areas, most of what is today the German state of Baden-Württemberg, the German-speaking part of Switzerland, and Alsace. Looking at these areas, it can be seen that the river Rhine provided a barrier to cross-activity with Alsace on the west bank, and the Alps with the area south of lake Constance. In addition, large parts of the land east of the Rhine were heavily forested and uninhabited, colonisation only accelerating in the 12th and 13th centuries. The result was that many local families were at first modest in their ambitions, their activities being restricted to isolated parts of the province. An example is provided by the Zähringer, which concentrated on building their influence around the town of Freiburg im Breisgau, before Duke Konrad extended his ambitions into Burgundy in 1127.

The first dukes of Swabia, following the revival of the Swabian central authority in the early 10th century, were the Hunfriding rulers from what is now northern Switzerland. A 903 diploma of Ludwig IV "das Kind" King of Germany refers to the first Hunfriding ruler Burkhard as "marchio Curiensis Rætiæ", indicating the creation of a short-lived march in northern Switzerland. The Hunfriding were succeeded as rulers by the Franconian Konradiner dynasty in 926, when Hermann was appointed duke by Heinrich I King of Germany. Over the succeeding 150 years, no single family established itself as dukes of Swabia for more than three generations.

Multiple powerbases were over time created in Swabia, another reason for the lack of cohesion within the noble families. After Berthold von Zähringen lost to Friedrich von Staufen in the power struggle for appointment as duke of Swabia during the investiture crisis, he was compensated by recognition of his personal title of duke, which was also transmitted to his descendants. This was the first occasion when two individuals both peaceably held the title dux at any one time in any of the original German provinces. The dukes of Zähringen developed considerable political influence in central Europe before their extinction in the male line in 1218. In addition, the Welf family, while establishing themselves definitively as dukes of Bavaria in 1096, remained major landowners in Swabia where contemporary sources such as necrologies show that they also used the title dux.

Besides these major families, numerous lesser noble families enjoyed limited territorial influence in Swabia around the castles which they constructed. Some of these used their small Swabian bases as a springboard to extend their activities on a broader international scale. The two most obvious examples are the Staufen and Zollern dynasties. The former took their name from their castle in Swabia but acquired extensive property in Franconia, bequeathed to Friedrich II Duke of Swabia by his maternal uncle Emperor Heinrich V. The election of Konrad von Staufen as Konrad III King of Germany in 1138, and that of his nephew as King Friedrich I "Barbarossa" in 1152, signalled the family's definitive transfer out of the local Swabian field of activity. The Zollern family also took its name from their Swabian castle, but launched themselves on to the wider German stage with a fortunate marriage to the heiress of the Burggrafschaft of the town of Nürnberg in Bavaria, from there becoming electors of Brandenburg in the early 15th century. A third example, on a smaller scale, is provided by the Grafen von Berg which developed sufficient influence to enable them to arrange the marriages in the early 12th century of the three daughters of Graf Heinrich [I] with the king of Poland and the dukes of Bohemia and Moravia. Finally, the roots of the Habsburg family, whose later history requires no introduction, are found in the southern part of Swabia in what is now Switzerland.

Other potentially powerful Swabian nobles failed to expand beyond the local level. A good example is provided by the Grafen von Achalm, who acquired the Alsatian castle of Montbéliard [Mömpelgard] by marriage, and founded the influential monastery of Zwiefalten in 1089. However, no legitimate descendants are known from this family of eight brothers, the last of whom died in 1098.

During the dispute between Konrad IV King of Germany and the papal party, led by Willem II Count of Holland as its figurehead and anti-king, Swabia was largely anti-Staufen. The reaction against Staufen control enabled the local nobility to assert their autonomy, the duchy of Swabia virtually disappearing as a territorial unit and dissolving into a collection of territorial fragments[1]. The eventual fall-out was the establishment of the Markgrafen von Baden and the dukes of Württemberg as the major Swabian lords.

An interesting "census" of Swabian nobility is provided by a list in the History of Salem Monastery of those present at a court of "duce Friderico"[2]. The names are (in order) "comite Rodolfo Pregantino, comite Rudolfo de Ramsperc, Ebirhardo comite de Nellinburc, Burcardo, Eginone, Gotfrido, Friderico comitibus de Zolr, Marcquardo comite de Veringin, Diepoldo et fratre eius Rapotone comitibus de Berge, Ebirhardo et Hartmanno comitibus de Killiperc, Ludowico comite de Wirtinberc, Ungone comite palatino de Tuwingen, Bertoldo de Ebirstein, Ulrici et Alberto comitibus de Ahchalm, Alberto et Hartmanno comitibus de Kuiberc, Heinrico comite et Conrado fratre suo, advocato de Sancto-monte, Wernhero, Chunone, Arnoldo comitibus de Badin, Humberto, Ulrico, Rudolfo, Arnoldo comitibus de Lenzeburc, Wernhero comite de Habisburg". All their families are set out in this document, except for the family of "Heinrico comite et Conrado fratre suo, advocato de Sancto-monte" which has not been identified. In addition four individuals are listed who are not counts "Manigoldo de Rordorf, Lamperto de Husin, Hugone de Utindorf, Eigilwardo de Nuzdorf". The list is undated, but the inclusion of the brothers Adalbert and Hartmann Grafen von Dillingen und Kiburg enable the list to be dated to after 11 Sep 1151, when their father died. Further precision in the dating is possible by identifying which "Friedrich Duke of Swabia" is named. Duke Friedrich II "der Einäugige" had died in 1147. The only possibilities are therefore Duke Friedrich III, who resigned the dukedom in Mar 1152 when he was elected as Friedrich I "Barbarossa" King of Germany, or his successor Duke Friedrich III who was installed as duke in 1152. The close-knit nature of this group of nobles is confirmed by the number of marriages between those named or their immediate families, as can be traced below.

The Swabian nobility is shown geographically in this document, divided into the "gau" of which the duchy of Swabian was originally constituted. In the southern area, now German-speaking Switzerland, these were, from west to east, Aargau which bordered the Rudolfian kingdom of Burgu ndy, Zurichgau with the town of Zurich in its northern part, Thurgau immediately south of lake Constance, and Rheingau straddling the upper reaches of the Rhine before it flows into Lake Constance. South of the Rheingau lay the area of Chur-Rätien, in what is now the Swiss canton of Graubunden. The gau in the Baden-Württemberg area are best described in three lines from west to east. In the southern line lay Breisgau in which the castle of Zähringen was built, Alpgau around the monastery of St Blasien, Hegau to the north-west of Lake Constance north of the river Rhine, Linzgau, Nibelgau and Argengau to the north and north-east of Lake Constance, and Alpengau in the east bordering the Bavarian/Carinthian territories. To the north of this line, lay Ortenau east of the river Rhine and Alsace, Bertoldsbaar between the rivers Neckar and Danube, Duria, and Augstgau along the river Lech south of the town of Augsburg. In the extreme northern part of Swabia lay Neckargau, Swiggerstal, Trachgau, Flisgau, Alb and Ries, grouped into the chapter "North-east Württemberg" in this document.

The nobility whose families are set out in this document are those who lived in Swabia east of the river Rhine. The nobles whose power lay on the left bank of the river are shown in ALSACE.

Chapter 1. GRAFEN im AARGAU

Aargau was the area which lay south of the river Rhine and the town of Basel in the north, north of the Valais in the south, west of the Zurichgau, and east of Transjuranian Burgundy. Its territory was therefore much more extensive than the present-day Swiss canton which bears the same name. It formed the frontier area between the Rudolfian kingdom of Burgundy and the duchy of Swabia. The castle of Lenzburg was situated in the north-east of its territory, west of the town of Zurich.

F. GRAFEN von LENZBURG, GRAFEN von SCHÄNNIS

The reconstruction of this family as shown below is not certain. However, it appears to be a reasonable interpretation of several different sources when read together. It is of some significance because of the connections shown with the families of the Rudolfian kings of Burgundy and with Humbert I Comte de Maurienne, whose descendants were the counts of Savoy.

1. UDALRICH (-after 950). m (before [923/25]) ---, daughter of WALTER & his wife Swanahild ---. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified.

2. ARNOLD [I] (-after 976). Herr von Kloster Schännis 972. Vogt von Chorherrenstifts, Zürich 976. m ---. The name of Arnold's wife is not known. However, it would not be surprising if she was ---, relative of the Burgundian nobleman Anselm [II], whose daughter married Humbert [I] Comte de Maurienne (see the documents BURGUNDIAN KINGDOM NOBILITY and SAVOY). The indicators of this relationship are as follows. Firstly, "Aimo, Sedun…episcopus", who is identified as Aimon son of Comte Humbert [I], donated property which he had inherited from "avunculo meo comite Oudolrico" to the church of Sion, by charter dated 12 Jun 1052[122]. As Aimon´s mother was probably the daughter of Anselm [I] (see BURGUNDY KINGDOM NOBILITY), "avunculo meo comite Oudolrico" can probably be identified as her brother Odalric/Ulrich. Secondly, the same charter records that Bishop Aimon acted in this donation "per manum advocatis mei comitis Oudalrici". Bishop Aimon also acted through "Odvolrici eiusdem ecclesie aduocati" in a charter dated 23 Dec 1043[123]. The "advocatus" of bishops and other ecclesiastical dignataries can often be identified as family members. Thirdly, "Odalricus comes de Lenceburc" donated "allodium quod pater meus et mater in monte…Novum castrum emerunt" to the church of Sion by charter dated to [1036/54][124], which shows that the Lenzburg family had a connection with the bishopric of Sion. It is therefore suggested that "Odalricus comes de Lenceburc" who is named in the [1036/54] charter and "advocatis mei comitis Oudalrici", named in the 23 Dec 1043 and 12 Jun 1052 documents, were the same person and can be identified as Ulrich [I] Graf von Lenzburg. As Odalric/Ulrich, son of Anselm [II], is not recorded as having children, it is likely that the relationship with the Lenzburg family was through the female line. The chronology suggests that this might have been through the mother of Graf Ulrich [I] who could have been a sister of Anselm [II]. Arnold [I] & his wife had [four] children:

a) ULRICH [I] (-20 Aug [1052/53]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Graf von Lenzburg. The necrology of the church of Bero, under "XIII Kal Sep", records that "Ulricus com de Lenzburg" restored the church of Bero in 1036[125]. Vogt von Frauenmünster, Zürich. "Odalricus comes de Lenceburc" donated "allodium quod pater meus et mater in monte…Novum castrum emerunt" to the church of Sion by charter dated to [1036/54][126]. As discussed above, it is possible that "advocatus Oudolricus" who is named in the following two documents was Ulrich [I] Graf von Lenzburg. "Aymonis episcopi" enfeoffed a vassal with property "per manum Odvolrici eiusdem ecclesie aduocati" by charter dated 23 Dec 1043[127]. "Aimo, Sedun…episcopus" donated property, inherited from "avunculo meo comite Oudolrico…in villam…Ursaria", to the church of Sion "per manum advocatis mei comitis Oudalrici" by charter dated 12 Jun 1052[128]. Another advocatus ("advocati eiusdem ecclesie Upoldi") named in a charter dated 13 Mar 1054 which was also issued by Bishop Aimon[129]. This suggests that, if the co-identity with Graf Ulrich [I] is correct, that he died [1052/53]. The necrology of Sion records the death "XIII Kal Sep" of "Vdrici comitis de Lanceburc" who donated "predium suum de Nouo castro"[130]. [m MATHILDE, daughter of ---. The Liber Anniversariorum of Einsiedeln names in April "com Uolricus de Schennis et Mechthild uxor eius"[131]. It is not known to which Graf Ulrich this refers. However, as the same source records the death of Heinrich Bishop of Lausanne, son of Graf Ulrich [I], it is possible that it relates to the latter.] Graf Ulrich [I] & his wife had [two] children:

i) KONRAD (-1052 or after). Bishop of Genoa 1036.

ii) [HEINRICH (-[16 Jan] [1051/56]). Provost of Beromünster 1036. Bishop of Lausanne 1039. A necrology of unknown provenance, marked "Fragmenta Incerta" in the compilation, records the death "XVII Kal Feb" of "Heinricus eps Lausannensis filius Ulrici comitis de Schennis"[132]. The Liber Anniversariorum of Einsiedeln records the death in Jan of "Heinricus eps Lausannensis filius Uolrici comitis de Schennis"[133]. There appears to be some confusion with the supposed uncle of this bishop Heinrich, also called Heinrich, whose death on the same date in 1019 is recorded in the necrology of Bero (see below).]

iii) [HEMMA (-23 Jan ----). A necrology of unknown provenance, marked "Fragmenta Incerta" in the compilation, records the death "X Kal Feb" of "Hemma abb^a Turicensis, Ulrici comitis de Schennis soror, alibi filia"[134]. The Liber Anniversariorum of Einsiedeln records the death in Jan of "Hemma abb^a filia Uodalrici comitis de Schennis"[135].]

b) [HEINRICH (-16 Jan 1019). Bishop of Lausanne. The cartulary of Notre-Dame de Lausanne records that "Henricus" was ordained Bishop of Lausanne in 985 and held the position for 35 years, and that he acquired "comitatum Waldense" from Emperor Heinrich II[136]. The necrology of the church of Bero records the death "XVII Kal Feb 1019" of "Heinricus eps Lausanensis"[137]. According to Grote[138], the bishop of Lausanne who died in 1019 was "Heinrich von Schänis". This suggests a relationship with the family of the Grafen von Lenzburg as the maternal grandfather of Udalrich was Odalrich Herr von Schänis. This assumption appears to be supported by the necrology of unknown provenance, marked "Fragmenta Incerta" in the compilation, recording the deaths of several "comitis de Schennis"[139]. It is probably also relevant that this Heinrich's supposed nephew Heinrich was Bishop of Lausanne at a later date, in view of the contemporary practice of appointment to bishoprics often being made within the same family.]

c) [---. m ---.]

i) ARNOLD [III] . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. nepos of Graf Ulrich [I] in 1036[140]. Graf im Aargau 1045/50. Kastvogt von Beromünster.

ii) ULRICH [II] (-after 1077). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. nepos of Graf Ulrich [I] in 1036. Graf von Lenzburg.

ULRICH [II], son of --- (-[16 Nov] after 1077). Graf von Lenzburg.

m RICHENZA, daughter of RATBOD Graf [von Habsburg] & his wife Ida --- (-27 May 1080, bur Kloster Muri). A Habsburg genealogy names "Wernherum comitem et Richenzam sororem eius de Lenzburg" as the children of "Ita de Habspurg"[141]. The necrology of the church of Bero records the death "VI Kal Iun 1080" of "Richenza com"[142].

Graf Ulrich [II] & his wife had [five] children:

1. ULRICH [III] . Graf im Aargau 1086/1101. "Sigefridus et fratres mei Conradus, Eberhardus et Ogoz" donated property "in pago Hegouva in comitatu Lodewici in locis…Ruti ze Hohenstetin…in pago Argouva sub comitatu Odalrici in…locis ze Willineshowo, ze Stofen, ze Nunnenwilare…in pago Briscaugia in comitatu Herimanni ze Hugenshein, necnon etiam in pago Heregouva…sub comitatu Manegoldi in villa…Polster" to Schaffhausen St Salvator by charter dated 21 Apr 1101, witnessed by "Burcardi comitis de Rammeshein…"[143]. An undated charter relating to the foundation of Kloster Muri records a donation by "Uodalrico comite fratribusque eius Arnolfo et Rudolfo"[144].

2. ARNOLD [IV] (-[15 May] ----, [before 22 Jan 1130]). An undated charter relating to the foundation of Kloster Muri records a donation by "Uodalrico comite fratribusque eius Arnolfo et Rudolfo"[145]. A Habsburg genealogy names "Arnoldum, Chono comitem, Wernherum de Baden" as the children of "Richenza de Lenzburg"[146], although the chronology would be stretched if the last two named (see below) were her children. Graf von Lenzburg 1114. Vogt of Zürich church 1127. A necrology of unknown provenance, marked "Fragmenta Incerta" in the compilation, records the death "Id May" of "Arnoltus com Ulrici de Schennis filius" and also the death "XIII Kal Mai 1105" of "Arnolfus com de Schennis"[147]. The Liber Anniversariorum of Einsiedeln records the donation in May "com Arnolt, Uodalrici de Schannis filius"[148]. m [HEMMA, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified. 1127.] Graf Arnold [IV] & his wife had [four] children:

b) WERNER (-3 Jul after 1159). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Graf von Baden 1127. Graf von Lenzburg 1137.

G. GRAFEN von OLTINGEN

According to Zapf, Oltingen was in the diocesis of Konstanz at the confluence of the rivers Arole [Aar] and Sanone[177].

1. BUCCO (-1089 or after). Graf von Oltingen. "Comes Bucco" donated property "in pago Viliacense…in villa…sancti Albini" to Lausanne by charter dated 28 Oct [1072/73], witnessed by "Episcopo Borkardo atque Amalrico et advocato Aimone, laudante Conone filio suo"[178]. m ---. The name of Bucco's wife is not known. Graf Bucco & his wife had two children:

a) KUNO (-after 24 Dec 1089). The Gesta Episcoporum Lausannensium records the donation of "Cononi comiti de Oltudengas fratris suo [Borcardi Lausannensis episcopus]"[179], implying that this was made after the death of his brother. Graf von Oltingen. [1080/89]. The cartulary of Notre-Dame de Lausanne records that "Cononi comiti de Oltudenges" brother of "Borcardus Lausannensis episcopus…filius comitis Bucconis de Oltudenges" donated "curias de Resuldens et de Losnozro" to Lausanne cathedral[180]. m --- de Luxembourg, daughter of GISELBERT Comte de Luxembourg & his wife ---. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. Graf Kuno & his wife had one child:

i) REGINA [Kuniza] (-after 12 Apr 1107). "Regina ex prosapia non obscura…comitis Cononis filia qui frater extit Conraldi viri…in itinere Jerosolimitano defuncti, generi nimirum comitis Pictaviensis" donated property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire where she was about to become a nun by charter dated 1088, which states that "me maritalis jugi sarcina exoneravit" suggesting an amicable separation from her husband[181]. The references in this charter to "Conraldi" and "comitis Pictaviensis" have not been deciphered. The charter dated 1095 under which "Guillelmus comes" donated property to Marcigny-sur-Loire names "mater mea Cuniza Cononis filia"[182]. She is named "mater mea Regina" in her son's 1107 charter which also names her father "avi ac nutritoris mei Cononis comitis"[183]. In a charter dated 1139, "Albero…Leodiensium episcopus" notes a donation of property to the abbey of Marcigny-sur-Loire by "domna Ermensendis comitissa de Musalt, quæ uxor extitit…comitis Alberici" on the suggestion of "quadam nobili et religiosa fœmina nomine Regina, sibi enim consanguinea"[184], the original donation presumably being dated before [1109] when Ermesinde married her second husband. It is likely that "Regina" in this charter was Regina von Oltingen, whose mother was first cousin to Ermesinde. m (before [1085]) RENAUD II Comte Palatin de Bourgogne, son of GUILLAUME I "le Grand" Comte Palatin de Bourgogne & his wife Etiennette --- (-Palestine 1097 or Summer 1101).

H. GRAFEN von RHEINFELDEN

A Burgundian noble family[188].

1. KUNO . Graf before 1034. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[189], he was the stepbrother of Ida, wife of Graf Ratbod, ancestor of the Grafen von Habsburg. This is presumably based on a Habsburg genealogy which records that "Theodricus dux Lotharingorum et Chono comes de Rinfelden" were brothers and that "horum soror Ita comitissa de Habspurg" restored the monastery of Muri[190]. The identify of "Theodricus dux Lotharingorum" in this text is confused as the passage also records that he was father of "Gerhardum ducem", who in turn was father of "Gerhardum de Egisheim, patrem Uodelrici et Sthephani". The question remains whether Ita, wife of Ratbod, could have been related to Kuno von Rheinfelden. m ---. The name of Kuno's wife is not known. Graf Kuno & his wife had three children:

a) RUDOLF von Rheinfelden (-killed in battle near Hohenmölsen near Merseburg 16 Oct 1080, bur Merseburg cathedral). A Habsburg genealogy records "Chono comes de Rinfelden" was father of "Rudolfum regem"[191]. He was installed as Duke of Swabia in 1057. He was elected RUDOLF King of Germany in 1077.

- see below.

b) ADALBERO (-6 Aug 1070). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Monk at St Gallen. Bishop of Worms 1066.

c) daughter . m ---. One child:

i) JUDITH . m ---. One child:

(a) ADELGAUD . The Chronicon Ebersheimense names "Adelgaudum abbatem…filius Iudite, filia sororis Ruodolfi [dux Alemannorum]" when recording that Emperor Heinrich expelled him from the abbey[192]. Abbot of Ebersteinmünster.

2. [ADELHEID (-7 Dec after 1057, bur Alsleben). The Annales Stadenses name "Adelheithim amitam Rodolfi [von Rheinfelden]" as wife of "comitem Luderum"[193], although the other parts of these Annals appear unreliable and this statement should be treated with caution until corroborated by another source. If the relationship with King Rudolf is correctly stated, it is possible that she was his maternal aunt. m ([1025]) LOTHAR-UDO von Stade, son of SIEGFRIED II Graf von Stade & his wife Adela von Alsleben (after 994-7 Nov 1057). He succeeded in 1037 as LOTHAR-UDO II Graf von Stade, and in 1056 as LOTHAR-UDO I Markgraf der Nordmark.]

RUDOLF von Rheinfelden, son of Graf KUNO & his wife --- (-killed in battle near Hohenmölsen near Merseburg 16 Oct 1080, bur Merseburg cathedral). A Habsburg genealogy records "Chono comes de Rinfelden" was father of "Rudolfum regem"[194]. He was installed as Duke of Swabia in 1057 by Agnes de Poitou, widow of Emperor Heinrich III[195]. He became rector of Burgundy, entrusted with the administration of the kingdom, in 1060[196]. He introduced the stricter monastic rules from Fruttuaria[197] into the monastery of St Blasien in 1072. He was one of the nobles opposed to his brother-in-law King Heinrich IV. He was elected RUDOLF King of Germany at Forcheim in Feb 1077 by the German nobility who were affronted by Pope Gregory VI's withdrawal of the order of excommunication against King Heinrich[198]. The Pope remained neutral, but after the king's defeat near Flarcheim on the Unstrut 27 Jan 1080, he renewed the excommunication of the king and impliedly declared support for Rudolf as anti-king by granting remission to the sins of Rudolf's supporters[199]. The Chronicon of Bernold records the death "1080 Id Oct" of "Roudolfus rex", and his burial "apud Merseburc"[200]. The necrology of St Peter im Schwarzwald records the death "XVII Kal Nov" of "Ruodolfus rex"[201]. The identification of this entry with Rudolf von Rheinfelden is rendered more probable by another entry referring to his daughter Agnes as "filia Ruodolfi regis de Arle".

m firstly (1059) MATHILDE of Germany, daughter of Emperor HEINRICH III King of Germany & his second wife Agnès de Poitou (1045-12 May 1060). The Annales of Berthold record the marriage in 1059 of "Roudolfus Alemmanorum dux" and "Mahthildam, Heinrici regis sororem" and the death in 1060 of "Mahthilt soror regis"[202]. The Annales Sancti Blasii record the marriage in 1059 of "Roudolfus dux" and "Mahtildam regis sororem" and the death of "Mahtilt uxor Roudolfi ducis" in 1060[203].

m secondly ([after Jun 1066]) ADELAIDE de Savoie, daughter of ODDON Comte de Chablais, Marchese di Susa & his wife Adelaida Marchese di Susa ([1052/53]-[Schloß Twiel] early 1079, bur St Blasius). The Annales of Berthold, which record the death in 1079 of "uxor…regis Roudolfi…Adelheit, filia Adelheidæ marchionissæ, soror Berhtæ reginæ uxoris Heinrici", prove that she was the daughter of Adelaida di Susa[204]. Her daughter Adelheid is named with "progenitoribus Rodolfo…rege et Adelheida…regina matertera Heinrici quarti inperatoris" in a charter dated [1079/10 Oct 1086][205]. Europäische Stammtafeln[206] shows Adelaide's birth date as "after 1052", presumably based on the likelihood that she was born after her sister Berthe as Heinrich IV King of Germany would no doubt have married the older daughter. Concerning her marriage date, it is likely that the marriage took place after the marriage of her older sister. She is named "Adalheid coniux Ruodulfi ducis" in the Annales Weissemburgenses, which records that she was accused of being unchaste, was repudiated by her husband two years later, and found asylum at the court of Pope Alexander[207]. The Annales of Berthold record that "rex…Roudolfus…uxor" was "in partes Burgundiæ a Turego divertens", suffering "iniurias" in "quodam castello suo"[208]. The wife of "Rudolfus rex de Arle" is named "Adelheidis" in a list of founders of the monastery of St Peter in Schwarzwald[209]. The Annales Sancti Blasii record the death in 1079 of "Adelheit uxor Roudolfi regis" and her burial "apud Sanctum Blasium"[210]. The Annales of Berthold record the death in 1079 of "uxor…regis Roudolfi…Adelheit, filia Adelheidæ marchionissæ, soror Berhtæ reginæ uxoris Heinrici" and her burial "ad monasterium Sancti Blasii"[211]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[212], Adelaide married firstly Guigues Comte d'Albon. Another table in Europäische Stammtafeln[213] shows the first wife of Guigues Comte d'Albon as "Adelais (von Turin)" and their son Guigues II Comte d'Albon as co-heir of Adelaida Marchese di Susa in 1091. The basis for this alleged first marriage has not been found but it is unlikely to be correct considering Adelaide's likely birth date.

Rudolf & his second wife had six children:

1. ADELHEID von Rheinfelden ([1067/70]-3 May 1090, bur St Blasien). Given her likely birth date, Adelheid must have been her parents' oldest child. "Filia eorum Adilheida regina que nupsit regi Ungariorum" and "progenitoribus Rodolfo…rege et Adelheida…regina matertera Heinrici quarti inperatoris" are named in a donation to Sankt-Blasien by charter dated [1079/10 Oct 1086] which also names "cuius filius [Rodolfo et Adelheida] Bertholfus…dux frater regine nostre…cum fratre suo Ottone"[214]. Her birth date is estimated from the estimated birth date range of her supposed daughter Piroska (although, as noted below, there is doubt concerning Piroska's parentage). The Chronicon of Bernold records that "soror quoque præfati ducis [Berthaldus dux Alemanniæ, filius Roudolfi regis] regina Ungarorum" died in the same month and year as her brother[215]. The name of her husband is not stated in any of the contemporary sources so far identified. However, King László appears to be the most likely possibility: considering Adelheid's estimated birth date, her husband is unlikely to have been King Géza, whose death is recorded in 1077, and King Géza's son Kálmán did not succeeded until 1095, after the recorded date of Adelheid's death as "regina Ungarorum". This supposition is confirmed by the charter dated 1201 under which Imre King of Hungary restored "prædio…Merena", donated by "regina Adulheyth, uxor…bonæ memoriæ regis Ladislai", to "ecclesiæ beati Michaëlis de Vesprimio"[216]. Her father was the candidate for the German throne supported by the Pope, this marriage being arranged by King László as part of his policy of seeking Papal support[217]. The necrology of Seeon records the death "V Non May" of "Adelheit regina Ungariorum"[218]. m (1077) LÁSZLÓ I King of Hungary, son of BÉLA I King of Hungary & his wife [Ryksa] of Poland (in Poland [1046/50]-Nitra 20 Jun 1095, bur Somogyvár, transferred 1192 to Nagyvárad Cathedral).

2. BERTHOLD (-18 May 1090, bur St Blasius). He was appointed BERTHOLD I Duke of Swabia in 1079 in succession to his father, in opposition to Heinrich IV King of Germany who appointed Friedrich von Staufen to the Swabian duchy. The Chronicon of Bernold records that "Bertaldi ducis, filii regis Roudolfi" was besieged by supporters of King Heinrich in 1084[219]. The Annales Rosenveldenses records the death in 1090 of "Bertolfus dux filius Rudolfi"[220]. The Chronicon of Bernold records the death in "1090…Maio mense" of "Bertholdus dux Alemanniæ, filius Roudolfi regis"[221]. The necrology of Schaffhausen records the death "XV Kal Jun" of "Bertaldus dux Alemannia"[222].

3. AGNES von Rheinfelden (-19 Dec 1111). The Gesta Friderici of Otto of Freising records that "Berhtolfus de castro Zaringen" married "Radolfi filia" but does not name her[223]. The Annales of Berthold record the marriage in 1079 of "Berhtoldus marchio, ducis Berhtoldi filius, adolescens" and "Agnetem, Roudolfi regis filiam"[224]. The Genealogia Zaringorum names "Agnes filia regis Rudolfi Arulacensis" wife of "Berchtoldus", specifying that she was buried with her husband at St Peter in 1111[225]. The necrology of St Peter im Schwarzwald records the death "XIV Kal Jan" of "Agnes uxor ducis Berchtoldi et filia Ruodolfi regis de Arle"[226]. [Betrothed (1077, contract broken) to HERMANN Pfalzgraf von Lotharingen, son of HEINRICH "Furiosus" Pfalzgraf von Lothringen [Ezzonen] & his wife Mathilde of Lotharingia (-20 Sep 1085). The Annales of Berthold name "Herimannus comes Palatinus, qui gener regis Roudolfi futurus erat" in 1077[227]. It is assumed that this passage indicates that Pfalzgraf Hermann was betrothed to one of the daughters of Rudolf von Rheinfelden, although no other reference to this fact has been found. If this is correct, the daughter was presumably Agnes as Adelheid was already married in 1077.] m (1079) BERTHOLD, son of BERTHOLD I [von Zähringen] Duke of Carinthia & his first wife Richwara of Swabia [Babenberg] ([1050]-12 Apr 1111, bur St Peter in Schwarzwald). He was installed as BERTHOLD II Duke of Swabia in 1092 by Emperor Heinrich IV. He renounced his claims to Swabia in favour of Friedrich I von Staufen, although he retained the title of Duke[228]. Herzog von Zähringen 1100.

4. BERTHA von Rheinfelden (-20 Jan after 1128, bur Mehrerau). The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "comes Oudalricus…Brigantium", records his betrothal to "filiam Wernheri comitis de Habichisburc" but states that he "concubit latenter cum Berhta filia Ruodolfi regis"[229]. Gräfin von Kellmunz. The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Bertha relicta Oudalrici" and "filiorum suorum Roudolfi et Oudalrici" recording their donation after her husband died[230]. The necrology of Augiæ Maioris records the death "XIII Kal Feb" of "Bertha com"[231]. m (before 1077) ULRICH [X] Graf von Bregenz, son of ULRICH [IX] Graf von Bregenz & his wife --- (-[28/29] Oct [1097], bur Mehrerau).

5. OTTO von Rheinfelden (-young, bur St Blasius). "Filia eorum Adilheida regina que nupsit regi Ungariorum" and "progenitoribus Rodolfo…rege et Adelheida…regina matertera Heinrici quarti inperatoris" are named in a donation to Sankt-Blasien by charter dated [1079/10 Oct 1086] which also names "cuius filius [Rodolfo et Adelheida] Bertholfus…dux frater regine nostre…cum fratre suo Ottone"[232].

Reginlind's maternal line is proved by the reference noted above, but direct proof that Graf Eberhard [I] was her father has not yet been identified. Regino records that "viduam Burchardi" married "Herimanno"[252]. The Liber Anniversariorum of Einsiedeln records in Aug the donation of "Stevegeia, Kaltbrunnen et Lindowa" by "domina Regelinda cum filio suo Burcardo duce"[253].

8. MANEGOLD (-1 May 991, bur Quedlinburg Cathedral). According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Manegold was the possible son of Burkhard [I] Graf im Zürichgau[260]. "Otto…rex" gave property "in loco Badon…in pago Ufgouue…comitatu Cuonradi comitis" to "Managoldo comiti" by charter dated 27 Aug 987[261]. m ---. The name of Manegold's wife is not known.

According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Manegold was the possible father of Graf Eberhard [IV], Vogt of Kloster Einsiedeln and ancestor of the Grafen von Nellenburg[263]. This is certainly indicated by the charter dated 11 Mar 992 under which "Otto…rex" donated property "Saramaresheim in pago Alsaciæ ac comitatu Eberhardi comitis " to Kloster Selz after the death of "Manegoldo comiti", Manegold having started the process before he died[264].

9. GOTTFRIED (-995). Brother of Graf Manegold[265]. Monk at Einsiedeln.

EBERHARD [IV], son of [MANEGOLD Graf im Zürichgau & his wife ---] (-[1030/34]). According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Manegold was the possible father of Graf Eberhard [IV], Vogt of Kloster Einsiedeln and ancestor of the Grafen von Nellenburg[266]. This is certainly indicated by the charter dated 11 Mar 992 under which "Otto…rex" donated property "Saramaresheim in pago Alsaciæ ac comitatu Eberhardi comitis " to Kloster Selz after the death of "Manegoldo comiti", Manegold having started the process before he died[267].

m (1009) HEDWIG, daughter of ---. The Annales Scafhusenses record the marriage in 1009 of "Ebbo comes de Nellenburc" and "consobrinam Heinrici regis Hedewigam…de curie regis"[268]. If "consobrinam" is here used in its precise sense, Hedwig would have been the daughter of one of the sisters of Gisela, daughter of Conrad I King of Upper Burgundy. According to the early 12th century Vita Eberhardi[269], the mother of Eberhard Graf von Nellenburg (son of Eberhard [IV] Graf im Zürichgau) was --- of Hungary, daughter of István I King of Hungary, although it is somewhat surprising that such a prominent figure as King István, in far off Hungary, would have married his daughter to someone who appears to have been an obscure Swiss count. If Hedwig was the daughter of King István, there is a remote possibility that she was the same daughter who supposedly married Edmund ætheling, although if this is correct she would have been much older than her second husband. She founded Kloster Pfaffenschwabenheim as a widow[270].]

Graf Eberhard [IV] & his wife had [four] children:

1. BURKHARD [II] (-killed in battle Civitate 18 Jun 1053, bur Reichenau). "Eberhardus comes filius Eberhardi quondam comitis" donated property to Reichenau, for the souls of "patris mei Eberhardi et fratrum meorum Purghardi et Manegoldi" by charter dated 1056[271].

"Eberhardus comes Turegie provincie" exchanged property with "Bertholdo Carinthiorum duce" by charter dated early Mar 1050, witnessed by "…Burchardus et Eberhardus et Adelbertus, filii Eberhardi comitis…"[275]. This charter is presumably misdated as Berthold did not become Duke of Carinthia until 1061, and his son Marchese in 1072. The Annales Scafhusenses record that "Eberhardus comes de Nellinburc" founded "Scafhusensem locum" in 1052[276].

The Historia Trevirensis names “ex Alamannorum prosapia oriundus patre Eberhardo comite, matre Ida” as parents of “Udo” Archibishop of Trier, adding that they founded “monasterii…Scafuse”[281]. She became a nuun at St Agnes, Schaffhausen as shown by the charter dated 1 Mar 1080 under which her son "Comes Burchardus de castello Nellenburk" confirmed donations to "monasterium sancti Salvatoris in pago Cletgouve in villa Schafhusa super litus Reni" founded by "progenitoribus meis…Eberhardo, ex religioso comite in eodem monasterio monacho…facto, et Ita…monachicam…in cella sancte Agne in eadem villa"[282].

"Comes Burchardus de castello Nellenburk" confirmed donations to "monasterium sancti Salvatoris in pago Cletgouve in villa Schafhusa super litus Reni" founded by "progenitoribus meis…Eberhardo, ex religioso comite in eodem monasterio monacho…facto, et Ita…monachicam…in cella sancte Agne in eadem villa", by charter dated 1 Mar 1080[287].

This charter is presumably misdated as Berthold did not become Duke of Carinthia until 1061, and his son Marchese in 1072. The Annales Sancti Blasii record the battle in 1075 in which "Ernist marchio et Heinricus et Eberhardus de Nellenburc" were killed[294].

H. der Gf von Nellenburg", although the primary source on which this is based has not been identified. The Graf Eppo [Eberhard] to which this refers has not been identified, although from a chronological point of view it is likely that Irmgard was the daughter of Graf Eberhard [IV] if she was a member of this family. m WERNER [I] Vogt von Kaufungen, son of [ADALBERT & his wife ---] (-killed in battle 23 Aug 1040).

Chapter 3. GRAFEN im THURGAU

Thurgau was located south of Lake Constance. It is now the name of a canton in north-east Switzerland, but it is unclear whether this is co-extensive with the medieval county of the same name.

A. GRAFEN im THURGAU (UDALRICHINGER)

Europäische Stammtafeln records Gerold as "Graf im Mittelrheingebiet", implying a Franconian origin. However, a strong connection with Swabia is indicated by the places where his sons were recorded as counts.

1. GEROLD . Graf im Kraichgau [Udalrichinger]. m IMMA, daughter of NEBE [Hnabi] Duke of Alemannia & his wife Hereswint --- (-798). "Imma" daughter of "Nebe" is named by Thegan[300]. Her marriage is suggested by Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris which names "Hildigardam [wife of Charles I King of the Franks] quæ erat de cognatione Gotefridi ducis Alamannorum" and specifies that she was Imma's daughter[301]. The Annales Alamannici record the death in 798 of "Imma"[302]. Graf Gerold & his wife had seven children:

a) GEROLD [II] (-killed in battle 1 Sep 799, bur Augia). An epitaph to “quondam comitem…Geroldum” records that “cui regina soror, Ludovici…genitrix, Hildegardis erat”[303].

Benefactor of Reichenau and St Gallen. He was killed in battle against the Avars[307]. The Annales Alamannici record that "Kerolt" was killed in 799[308]. The Annales Fuldenses record that "Geroldus Baioariæ præfectus" was killed in 799 fighting the "Hunis"[309]. Gerold is recorded as "defuerat soboles, pariterque defuit heres"[310]. The Epitaphium Geroldi Comitis records the death in battle "Sep…Kal" of "Geroldi"[311]. The Annales Laurissenses Continuatio records that "Geroldus comes Baioariæ prefectus" was killed in battle against the Avars and was buried "in Augia" in 799[312]. m ---.

The Traditiones Fuldenses record the donation of “Vdalrih comes de Alsatia” of property “in Scastolfesheim” for the soul of “Ottone fratre suo”[318]. Graf in Alsace 817. Udalrich's four sons subscribed a charter dated 803[319]. m ---. The name of Udalrich's wife is not known. Graf Udalrich [I] & his wife had [five] children:

i) BEBO . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. 803.

ii) GEROLD [III] (-after 826). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. 803. Einhard names "Geroldus comes" as one of the 15 witnesses of the testament of Emperor Charlemagne dated 811[320]. Einhard's Annales name "Geroldum comitem" as imperial legate to Italy in 815[321]. Einhard's Annales name "Bertricum palatii comitem" sending "Baldricum et Geroldum comites" to fight the Avars in 826[322]. Einhard's Annales names "Bertricum palatii comitem et Baldricum et Geroldum comites" as imperial missi to "Bulgarorum regem" in 826[323].

iii) UDALRICH [II] . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. 800/03.

iv) ROTBERT [Ruadbert/Robert] (-[817, bur Lindau]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Graf 806/813-814. Graf im Thurgau 806. Graf on the north bank of Bodensee 807/813-814. Graf im Argengau 807. Graf im Linzgau 813/14.

v) [HIDDA . Jackman quotes the Memorial book of Reichenau which lists (in order) "Hunfridus, Hitta, Adelpreht, Odalrih, Hunfrid, Liutsind, Hitta, Imma, Aba", whom he links with the family of Hunfried, and the Memorial book of St Gallen which lists the same persons with Robert, whom he identifies as the son of Graf Udalrich [I], deducing that "Hitta" was the wife of Hunfried [I] and sister of Robert[324]. m HUNFRID [I], son of ---. Marchese in Istria 799. Graf in Rätien 806/808.]

c) UDO (-[before 798]). 788. "Uodalrichus [comes]" donated property "in pago Alsacinse in villa…Heinhain" to Fulda for the soul of "germani mei Uotoni" by charter dated 1 May 803[325]. The Traditiones Fuldenses record the donation of “Vdalrih comes de Alsatia” of property “in Scastolfesheim” for the soul of “Ottone fratre suo”[326].

d) HILDEGARD (758-Thionville, Moselle 30 Apr 783, bur Metz, église abbatiale de Saint-Arnoul). Einhard refers to Hildegard as "de gente Suavorum"[327]. Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names her "Hildigardam quæ erat de cognatione Gotefridi ducis Alamannorum" and specifies that she was the daughter of Imma[328]. The Annales Laurissenses record the death "783 pridie Kal Mai" of "Hildegardis regina" and her burial "iuxta urbem Mettensem in basilica apostolorum et beati Arnulfi"[329]. She died from the after effects of childbirth, according to the epitaph of her daughter Hildegarde[330]. Paulus Diaconus wrote an epitaph to "Hildegardis regina"[331]. m (Aix-la-Chapelle 771 before 30 Apr) as his second wife, CHARLES I King of the Franks, son of PEPIN "le Bref" King of the Franks & his wife Bertrada [Berta] "au Grand Pied" (near Aix-la-Chapelle 2 Apr 748-Aix-la-Chapelle 28 Jan 814, bur Aix-la-Chapelle, Chapelle Sainte-Marie). He was crowned CHARLES I “Charlemagne” Emperor of the Romans in 800.

e) MEGINGOZ . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. 784/85.

f) [ADRIANUS . Adrian is named as son of Gerhard in a charter dated 793 which also names his germanus Erbio[332].] same person as…? ADRIANUS (-before 10 Nov 821). No proof has so far been found which confirms this co-identity. However, the name Adrianus was unusual at that time which indicates that it may be correct. m WALDRADA, daughter of --- (-after 15 Feb 824). "Uualtrat relicta Adriani" donated property "in castello Pingi in pago Wormacense" to Fulda by charter dated 10 Nov 821 with the consent of "Votoni comitis"[333]. "Uualtrat et Voto" donated property "in pago Wormacense in castello Pingna" to Fulda by charter dated 15 Feb 824, subscribed by "Albrichi comitis"[334]. Adrianus & his wife had two children:

i) ODO (-after 15 Feb 824). "Uualtrat relicta Adriani" donated property "in castello Pingi in pago Wormacense" to Fulda by charter dated 10 Nov 821 with the consent of "Votoni comitis"[335]. "Uualtrat et Voto" donated property "in pago Wormacense in castello Pingna" to Fulda by charter dated 15 Feb 824[336]. Neither of these charters states that Odo was the son of Waldrada, but this is a fair assumption. [same person as …? EUDES [Odo] (-killed in battle Jun 834). Comte d´Orléans. Levillain identifies Odo, son of Waldrada, with Eudes Comte d'Orléans[337]. This seems unlikely to be correct as the name Guillaume/Wilhelm (brother of Eudes Comte d´Orléans) does not appear at all in the Udalrichinger family.]

[- CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY.]

ii) WILTRUD . The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. "Wialdruth et Guntram" donated property "in Buosinesheim" to Kloster Lorsch for the soul of "Rutperti comitis quondam viri mei" by charter dated 19 Feb 834[338]. m ([808]) ROBERT [III] Graf im Wormsgau, son of ROBERT [II] Graf im Wormsgau und Oberrheingau & his first wife Theoderata (-before 19 Feb 834). "Karolus…augustus…imperator Romanum…rex Francorum et Langobardorum" issued a judgment by charter dated 8 Mar 812 which names "fidelibus nostri: Gerulfus, Guntlandus, Hedo, Armannus, Hamricus, Sicardus, Rotbertus comitibus…Amalricus comiti palatii nostro"[339].

g) [ERBIO (-before 793). Adrian is named son of Gerhard in a charter dated 793 which also names his germanus Erbio[340].]

1. --- . [m --- of the Franks, daughter of Emperor LOUIS I & his first wife Ermengard --- ([820/25]-). The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records that "rex Francorum qui et imperator Romanorum" gave his sister in marriage to "vir nobilissimo genere decoratus", that the couple had two sons to whom their uncle gave "in Alemannia loca…Potamum et Brigantium, Ubirlingin et Buochorn, Ahihusin et Turingen atque Heistirgou, Wintirture…et in Retia Curiensi Mesouch", and that one of the sons returned to France while the other "Oudalricus" retained all the property in Alamannia[341]. The editor of the MGH SS compilation dates this source to the mid-12th century[342]. The information has not been corroborated in any earlier primary source, although it is not known what prior documentation may have been available to the compiler of the Casus. There are several other difficulties with this marriage which suggest that the report in the Casus should be treated with caution. If the information is accurate, it is likely that the bride was a full sister of King Charles, although if this is correct her absence from contemporary documentation is surprising. If she had been Charles's half-sister, it is difficult to see how Charles would have had much influence on her marriage, which would have been arranged by one of her full brothers. In any case, it is unlikely that Emperor Louis's first wife would have had further children after [812/15] at the latest, given the birth of her eldest son in 795. If that estimated birth date is correct, then it is more likely that this daughter's marriage would have been arranged by her father Emperor Louis before his death in 840. Another problem is the potential consanguinity between the parties. Although the precise relationship between the couple's son Udalrich [III] and the earlier Udalrichinger cannot be established from available documentation, it is probable that he was closely related to Hildegard, first wife of Emperor Charles I, who was the paternal grandmother of Emperor Louis's children. Lastly, Udalrich [III] is recorded in charters dated 847 and 854, suggesting a birth date in the 820s assuming that he was adult at the time, which is inconsistent with Charles II "le Chauve" (born in 823) having arranged his parents' marriage.] Two children:

a) son . The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records that one of the nephews of Emperor Louis I returned to France[343].

b) UDALRICH [III] ([820/25]-13 Apr before [896/900]). The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records that Emperor Louis I gave his nephews "in Alemannia loca…Potamum et Brigantium, Ubirlingin et Buochorn, Ahihusin et Turingen atque Heistirgou, Wintirture…et in Retia Curiensi Mesouch", "Oudalricus" retaining all the property in Alamannia[344]. There is no proof of a connection with the preceding family of Graf Gerold and his wife Imma, but this is suggested by Udalrich's name and the similar geographical area of activity. "…Odelrih…" is among those listed as present in the charter dated 12 Oct 847 under which King Ludwig granted property to "Pribina"[345]. A charter of Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks dated 22 Jul 854 records the settlement of a dispute between Kloster St Gallen and the bishop of Konstanz related to property "…in comitatu Odalrici comiti in pagello Goldineshuntare in villa Heriprahttinga"[346].

1. UDALRICH [V] (-[27 Mar, 30 Sep or 8 Sep] 924). There is no proof of a connection with the preceding families but this is suggested by his name and the similar geographical area of activity. Charters dated 10 May 905 and 24 Feb 909 recording donations to St Gallen are dated to "sub comite Odalrico"[359]. "Chuonradus…rex" granted property "in loco Munichinga in pago Chlethgeuue" to Kloster St Gallen by charter dated 11 Mar 912 at the request of "comitum quoque Erchangarii et Chuonradi, Odalrici, Hugonis"[360].

The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. Her birth date range is estimated from the likely birth date range of her supposed mother, assuming that the origin shown here is correct, and the likely ages of her children. "Wundilgartam Henrici regis de filia neptim" is named in the Chronicle of St Gall, which also names her husband[367]. The same source in a later passage names "Ekkehardo…diacono et Purchardo puero post abate consobrinis suis"[368]. As Wundelgart was the mother of Abbot Burkhard, this gives the essential clue to her origin. Graf Udalrich [V] & his wife had [six or more] children:

a) UDALRICH [VI] [Outzo] (-25 Aug [950/57], bur Lindau Frauenkloster). The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Outzo comes qui habitabat apud Brigantium" as a descendant of "Oudalricus" (nephew of King of France, see above), and his wife "Diepirgam"[369]. The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Graf im Bregenz.

b) BURCHARD (-9 Aug 975). The Casuum Sancti Galli, Continuatio I, Ekkehardo IV names "Ekkehardo…diacono et Purchardo puero post abate consobrinis suis"[370]. The Casuum Sancti Galli, Continuatio I, Ekkehardo IV refers to Abbot Burkhard as "nepotem meum", referring to Emperor Otto I[371]. Abbot of St Gallen375 958, resigned 971[372]. The necrology of St Gallen records the death "V Id Aug" of "Purchardi…abbatis"[373].

c) ADALHARD . "Adalhardum qui Gallo Altstetin post tradidit" is named as son of "Oudalrich and Wundilgartem" in the Chronicle of St Gallen[374]. The commentary calls him "Adalhart comes Buchhorni" and also names his son and brother [375]. The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records that "Adilhardus comes" donated property to "nepoti suo beato Gebehardo epicopo"[376]. Graf im Thurgau 920/[970]. m ---.

According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Adalbert was the likely ancestor of the GRAFEN von BREGENZ[391].]

4. LIUTFRIED . The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Oudalricum alterum Marquardum tercium Liutfridum quartum Gebehardum" as the four sons of "Outzo comes", specifying that Liutfried received Winterthur in the inheritance of his father[392]. m --- . The name of Liutfried's wife is not known. Liutfried & his wife had one child:

a) ADALBERT [II] (-8 Sep [1030]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. "Pirctelo…cum manu fratris mei Gebehardi" donated property to Sulzburg monastery "in pago Prisicheuue in comitatu Adalberoni comitis", and granted the monastery to the church of Basel, by charter dated 28 Mar 1008, witnessed by "Adalbero comes, Beretholt comes, Ruodolf comes…"[393]. The necrology of Neresheim records the death "VI Id Sep" of "Adalbertus comes de Bregantia, avus com Adelhaidis fundatricis nostra"[394]. m --- . The name of Adalbert's wife is not known. Graf Adalbert [II] & his wife had three children:

i) ADALBERT [III] (-killed in battle Civitate, Apulia 13 Jun 1053). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Adilbertum…[et] Adilheidis" as son and daughter of Liutfried & his wife, specifying that Adilbert went to Apulia with Pope Leo[395], but this appears to skip a generation in light of the necrology entry for Adalbert's father Adalbert (see above). Europäische Stammtafeln shows the brothers Adalbert, Liutfried and Hermann as possible sons of Werner [I] Graf [von Gröningen][396] but this is not consistent with the other sources which refer to Adalbert, his father and daughter. The necrology of Neresheim records the death "XIV Kal Jul" of "Adalbertus comes de Bregantia, pater com Adelhardis fundatricis nostræ"[397]. m --- . The name of Adalbert's wife is not known. Graf Adalbert [III] & his wife had three children:

(a) ADELHEID (1053 or before-). The necrology of Neresheim records the death "XIV Kal Jul" of "Adalbertus comes de Bregantia, pater com Adelhardis fundatricis nostræ"[398], Adelheid's husband being recorded in the same source as founder of Kloster Neresheim. Alternatively, the Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Adilbertum…[et] Adilheidis" as son and daughter of Liutfried & his wife, specifying that Adelheid married "comes Hartmannus senior de Dilinga"[399]. This parentage for Adelheid is chronologically impossible without two or three intervening generations, assuming that Liutfried was the son of Udalrich [VI] Outzo as shown above. Adelheid and her husband were buried in Kloster Neresheim according to a monumental inscription which reads "AD 1121 obiit Hartmannus fundator noster, comes de Dillingen, et uxor eius de Kyburg Adelhaid"[400]. This suggests that Adelheid was the heiress of Kiburg which, if correct, was transmitted into the family of the Grafen von Dillingen through her marriage. m HARTMANN [I] Graf von Dillingen, son of HUPALD Graf [von Dillingen] & his wife --- (-16 Apr 1120, bur Neresheim).

ii) LIUTFRIED (-killed in battle 23 Aug 1040). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Europäische Stammtafeln shows the brothers Adalbert, Liutfried and Hermann as possible sons of Werner [I] Graf [von Gröningen][401]. This is not consistent with the other sources which refer to Adalbert, his father and daughter, although no direct reference has been found either to Liutfried or Hermann.

iii) HERMANN (-8 Apr 1065). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Abbot of Einsiedeln 1051. Europäische Stammtafeln shows the brothers Adalbert, Liutfried and Hermann as possible sons of Werner [I] Graf [von Gröningen][402]. This is not consistent with the other sources which refer to Adalbert, his father and daughter, although no direct reference has been found either to Liutfried or Hermann.

5. GEBHARD (9 Aug 946 or 949-Konstanz 27 Aug 995, bur Petershausen). The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Oudalricum alterum Marquardum tercium Liutfridum quartum Gebehardum" as the four sons of "Outzo comes", specifying that his mother died giving birth to Gebhard who became a canon at Konstanz, later Bishop of Konstanz[403]. He founded Kloster Petershausen in 983[404]. Bishop of Konstanz 979.

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "ducem Bertoldum…et duas sorores" as children of "ducem Bertoldum" & his wife, specifying that the younger daughter was "comitissa Kiburgensis" and had many children[408].

His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1226 under which "Haimonem dominum de Fucignie" reached an agreement with the bishop of Lausanne concerning the advocacy of the church of Lausanne, which Aimon claimed had been granted by "comitibus de Ciburc", which names "comitibus de Kibor Vuernerio et Armanno…quia filii erant sororis Bertoldi ducis Faringie"[425].

He succeeded in 1271 as Graf von Kiburg, by right of his wife. "Domini…Eberhardi comitis de Habsburch et…dominæ…Annæ uxoris suæ" confirmed the donation to the abbey of Frienisberg by "Petrus de Viviers" by charter dated Oct 1275[446].

According to Europäische Stammtafeln[452], Graf Eberhard married firstly (as her second husband) Marguerite de Savoie, widow of Hartmann III Graf von Kiburg, daughter of Thomas I Comte de Savoie & his wife Béatrix [Marguerite] de Genevois. Apart from the improbability of Graf Eberhard marrying as his first wife a lady over 50 years old (she was born in 1212[453]), the Chronicle of Hautecombe[454] states that Marguerite died in 1273, two years after the date of Graf Eberhard's marriage to Anna von Kiburg. According to the Chronicle, she was 'Margarita comitissa de Quiborch in Alemania' when she died, with no mention of Habsburg-Laufenburg.

Her parentage is hinted by the charter dated 7 Mar 1291 under which "Rudolfus…Romanorum rex" confirmed that "Theodericus comes Clevensis…Margarete suo…coniugi…nostre consanguine" renounced rights to customs revenues[463]. Her family origin is confirmed by the charter dated 22 Oct 1298 under which "Diderich Luf van Cleve, here van Hilkerode inde van Thoneburch, inde Elizabet unse wif" bought the Herrlichkeit of Hülchrath from "unsen bruder…heren Diederich den greven van Cleve, inde vore Margareten van Kiburch sinen…wive"[464].

The necrology of Fraubrunnen records the death "II Kal Jun" of "Frouw Anna gräfin von Kiburg"[468], although it is not known whether this entry refers to Anna wife of Graf Hartmann III. Hartmann [III] & his wife had seven children:

a) RUDOLF [II] (-[5 May 1383/5 Apr 1384]). Herr zu Nidau 1375. He succeeded his father in 1377 as Graf von Kiburg, Landgraf in Burgundy.

Graf in Rätien 806/808. m ---. The name of Hunfrid's wife is not known. Jackman quotes the Memorial book of Reichenau which lists (in order) "Hunfridus, Hitta, Adelpreht, Odalrih, Hunfrid, Liutsind, Hitta, Imma, Aba", whom he links with the family of Hunfried, and the Memorial book of St Gallen which lists the same persons with Robert, whom he identifies as son of Udalrich [I], deducing that "Hitta" was the wife of Hunfried [I] and sister of Robert, therefore Hidda, daughter of Udalrich [I] [Udalrichinger] & his wife ---[485]. Graf Hunfrid [I] & his wife had [three] children:

a) [ADALBERT [I] (-killed in battle Retiense 13 May 841). Jackman quotes the Memorial book of Reichenau which lists (in order) "Hunfridus, Hitta, Adelpreht, Odalrih, Hunfrid, Liutsind, Hitta, Imma, Aba", whom he identifies as Hunfried, his wife, their three sons and possible four daughters [486]. Graf im Thurgau [836]/[838]. "Hludowicum regem" donated Abersee to Kloster Mondsee by charter dated 829 by the intervention of "Ernosto et Adalperto"[487]. The Gesta Francorum names "Adalberti comitis" in 839 and records his death in battle "in Retiense…841 III Id Mai"[488]. Although it is not certain that the latter two entries relate to Adalbert [I], the reference to "Retiense" connects with "Rätien" where Adalbert's supposed father was Count.] m ---. The name of Adalbert's wife is not known. Graf Adalbert [I] & his wife had one child:

i) UDALRICH (-[before 15 May 857]). The Translatio sanguinis Domini names Udalrich as son of Adalbert [I][489]. Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks donated property to deacon Adalhelm which was previously in "comitatum Adelhelmi comitis…in pago Durgouue in locis…Bussenanc et Uuichrammesuuilare" which "temporibus Odelric comitis post illum Adelhelmi comitis in benefitium habuit" by charter dated 15 May 857[490], which suggests that Udalrich Graf im Thurgau had died before the date of the charter, his lands passing to Adalhelm, probably a relative.

b) [UDALRICH . Jackman quotes the Memorial book of Reichenau which lists (in order) "Hunfridus, Hitta, Adelpreht, Odalrih, Hunfrid, Liutsind, Hitta, Imma, Aba", whom he identifies as Hunfried, his wife, their three sons and possible four daughters486. same person as…?

i) [ADALBERT [II] "der Erlauchte" (-9 Jan [900] or after 24 Jun 903). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. "Ludowicus…rex" confirmed two exchanges between Hartmut abbot of St Gallen and "Adelbertus comes" of (firstly) a church in Filsingen "in suo comitatu…Scherra in loco…Filisininga" for farming land and (secondly) farming land "in suo comitatu…Durgauge in loco Turbatun" for property in Wizzinwang both charters dated 3 [Apr] 875[494]. A charter dated 1 May 879 recording a donation to St Gallen is dated to "sub Uadelricho et Adalberto comitibus"[495].

Graf im Osten der Bertoldsbaar 868/889. Graf im Hegau 882/888. "Hludowicus…rex" confirmed privileges to Kloster St Gallen by charter dated 24 Jun 903 in which among "fidelium nostrum" was listed "comites…Adalpreht…"[502]. m ---. The name of Adalbert's wife is not known. Graf Adalbert [II] & his wife had three children:

(a) BURKHARD [I] (-killed in battle [5 Nov] 911). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Marchio in Rätien 891/911. Graf in der Baar 893. He succeeded in 909 as BURKHARD I Duke of Swabia.

- DUKES of SWABIA.

(c) MANEGOLD . Pope John VIII names "Manegoldum filium Adelberti" in a letter addressed to "Carolo regis" dated 879[504].

ii) [HUNFRID [III] (-after 876). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Marquis of Septimania 854. Comte d'Autun, Marquis en Bourgogne [after 858]/864. A document of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated 21 Mar 858 is subscribed by "Hungarius, Engilramnus, Isembardus, Odo, Osbertus, Ratbodus, Hunfridus, Odalricus, Rhodulfus, Engilschalcus, Herluinus, Hitto"[505]. Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks donated property "in pago Narbonensi…in villa Ripa-alta" to "fidelem…Isembertum" at the request of "Humfridi…comitis et marchionis", by charter dated 20 Jun 859[506]. An agreement between Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks and his brother Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of Germany dated Jun 860 names "nobilis ac fidelibus laicis…Chuonradus, Evrardus, Adalardus, Arnustus, Warnarius, Liutfridus, Hruodolfus, Erkingarius, Gislebertus, Ratbodus, Arnulfus, Hugo, item Chuonradus, Liutharius, Berengarius, Matfridus, Boso, Sigeri, Hartmannus, Liuthardus, Richuinus, Wigricus, Hunfridus, Bernoldus, Hatto, Adalbertus, Burchardus, Christianus, Leutulfus, Hessi, Herimannus, item Hruodulfus, Sigehardus"[507]. The Annales Bertiniani record that "Hunfridus Gothiæ marchio" expelled Comte Raymond from Toulouse in 863[508]. He fled to Italy in 864, then Swabia[509]. Graf im Zürichgau 872/76.

The parentage of the following individual is not known, but it is likely that he was related to the Hunfriding family as explained below:

1. ADALHELM (-after 12 Apr 858). Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks donated property to deacon Adalhelm which was previously in "comitatum Adelhelmi comitis…in pago Durgouue in locis…Bussenanc et Uuichrammesuuilare" which "temporibus Odelric comitis post illum Adelhelmi comitis in benefitium habuit" by charter dated 15 May 857[510]. It appears from this charter that Adalhelm had succeeded his predecessor, Udalrich probably a close relative, as Graf im Thurgau. It is probable that deacon Adalhelm was a close relative of Graf Adalhelm. Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks granted property to Wolvene for life and after his death to Kloster Rheinau "in ducatu Alemannico in pago Turgauue videlicet comitatu Adalhelmi" by charter dated 12 Apr 858[511]. This charter provides one of the few examples of a pagus being co-extensive with a county in the 9th century.

A. GRAFEN von BREGENZ

Bregenz is located on the south-east shore of Lake Constance, in the Rheingau, and is now in the western Austrian province of Vorarlberg. According to the Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis[512], the Grafen von Bregenz were descended from Graf Udalrich [VII]. Europäische Stammtafeln, on the other hand, shows Adalbert, brother of Graf Udalrich [VII], as the likely ancestor of the Grafen von Bregenz[513] although the basis for this speculation has not yet been found.

UDALRICH [VII], son of UDALRICH [VI] [Outzo] & his wife Dietpurga --- (-16 Mar 973). The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis names "Oudalricum alterum Marquardum tercium Liutfridum quartum Gebehardum" as the four sons of "Outzo comes", specifying that Udalrich fought in the war of Emperor Otto I against the Hungarians, founded "Lindaugense monasterium" where he was buried and left posterity "apud Brigantium"[514]. Graf 955. The Annales Sangallenses record the deaths in 973 of "Udalricus comes et Ekkehardus monachus"[515]. The necrology of Petrishusen records the death "XVII Kal Apr" of "Uodolricus com frater s Gebehardi"[516].

m ---. The name of Udalrich's wife is not known.

Graf Udalrich [VII] & his wife had [two] children:

1. [MARQUARD [I] (-1019). According to Europäische Stammtafeln[517], Marquard [I] was the possible son of Adalbert, but this is inconsistent with the Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis which names Graf Udalrich [VII], brother of Adalbert, as ancestor of the Grafen von Bregenz[518]. Whatever the precise relationship, it is likely that Graf Marquard [I] belonged to this family as the name Marquard was also borne by another brother of Udalrich [VII] and Adalbert. The Annales Einsidlenses record the death in 1019 of "Marahward comes"[519]. m ---. The name of Marquard's wife is not known. Graf Marquard [I] & his wife had [one possible child]:

a) [MARQUARD [II] (-after 1032). Graf in Unterrätien 1032.]

- see below.

2. [ADALBERT (-8 Sep [1030]). m ---. The name of Adalbert's wife is not known.] Adalbert & his wife had [one possible child]:

a) [WERNER [I] (-killed in battle 23 Aug 1040). Vogt von Kaufungen.

- GRAFEN von GRÖNINGEN.

The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the following members of this family have not yet been identified, unless otherwise stated below.

According to Europäische Stammtafeln[520], the following brothers were sons of Graf Marquard [II] (see above). The basis for this speculation is not known, although continuity in the use of the names Ulrich and Marquard does suggest a close relationship.

Her name was certainly Adelheid as the Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records the donation by "Roudolfus comes de Rammisberch" dated 1163 which names "matris meæ Adilheide"[535]. The same source, in an earlier passage, records the marriage of Graf Ulrich [X] which suggests that there might be a family connection. m [ULRICH Graf von Ramsperg, son of ---. 1111/1155.]

Chapter 6. GRAFEN im BREISGAU

A. GRAFEN im BREISGAU

An obscure minor noble family in Swabia, the Zähringen dynasty owed their rise to power to the support they gave to the cause of the nobility in its long running dispute with Emperor Heinrich IV King of Germany during the final decades of the 11th century. They sided with the anti-king of Germany, Rudolf von Rheinfelden Duke of Swabia, after his election in 1077. The Zähringer were by that time of sufficient local importance to be courted by both sides in the dispute, the emperor appointing family members as Duke of Carinthia and Duke of Swabia at different times. The dynasty concentrated its attention on building its territorial influence around Freiburg im Breisgau. Like the less powerful family of the Grafen von Hohenburg which was centred on Wiesneck[556], the Zähringer held property in the Black Forest on both banks of the upper reaches of the river Rhine. It held countships in the Thurgau, Albgau, Ortenau and Breisgau[557]. The ducal branch acquired the family's Swabian possessions, maintained the title duke after it ceased to be duke of Swabia and eventually applied it to the imperial fief of Zähringen which it held directly from the German crown.

The Genealogia Zaringorum[558] was written at the monastery of St Peter in the Black Forest, early in the 13th century judging by its recording the death of the youngest son of Konrad Duke of Zähringen. It is accompanied by a Continuatio, probably written just over a century later as it ends with a marriage dated elsewhere to before 1318.

1. GUNTRAM "der Reiche", son of --- (-9 Aug, after 973). Graf im Breisgau 962: Emperor Otto I granted property "habere Cuntramnus comes in pago Prisecgeuue in comitatu Pirihtihonis in locis…Puckinga, Uringa, Muron" to Konrad Bishop of Konstanz by charter dated 21 Feb 962[559]. m ---. The name of Guntram's wife is not known. Graf Guntram & his wife had one child:

a) LANZELIN [Landolt] (-991). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Herr zu Muri 976, 981. Graf im Thurgau. m LUITGARD [von Nellenburg], daughter of EBERHARD [III] Graf [von Nellenburg] Graf im Thurgau & his wife ---. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. Graf Lanzelin & his wife had four children:

i) RATBOD (-30 Jun, before 1045, bur Kloster Muri). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Founded the Convent at Muri. Graf im Klettgau[560] 1023. He built the castle of Habsburg in the Aargau. He shared his territories with his younger brother Rudolf I, retaining Aargau and Klettgau. An undated charter records the foundation of Kloster Muri by "Radeboto comes…uxorem…Itam" and records that "fratre…eius Rudolfo" founded "cellam Othmarshein"[561]. Another undated charter relating to the foundation of Kloster Muri records that "Radeboto comes" was buried in Kloster Muri[562]. m IDA, daughter of --- (23 Jul or 23 Aug [970]-[1028], bur Muri). Her marriage is confirmed by a charter of the abbey of Muri which names "Wernherum comitem et Richenzam uxorem eius de Lentzburg" as the children of "Ita de Habspurg"[563]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[564], Ida was stepsister of Kuno, father of Rudolf Graf von Rheinfelden anti-king of Germany. This is presumably based on a Habsburg genealogy which records that "Theodricus dux Lotharingorum et Chono comes de Rinfelden" were brothers and that "horum soror Ita comitissa de Habspurg" restored the monastery of Muri[565]. The identify of "Theodricus dux Lotharingorum" in this text is confused as the passage also records that he was father of "Gerhardum ducem", who in turn was father of "Gerhardum de Egisheim, patrem Uodelrici et Sthephani". The question remains whether Ita, wife of Ratbod, could have been related to Kuno von Rheinfelden. According to another table in Europäische Stammtafeln[566], she was the sister of Werner Bishop of Strasbourg. This is based on an undated charter which records the foundation of Kloster Muri by "Radeboto comes…uxorem…Itam" and states that Ita was "de partibus Lotharingorum…sororem Theodrici ducis ac Wernharii, Argentine civitatis episcopi"[567]. A necrology of unknown provenance, marked "Fragmenta Incerta" in the compilation, records the death "X Kal Aug" of "Ita uxor comitis Radbotonis de Vindonissa"[568]. Graf Ratbod & his wife had four children:

(a) OTTO [I] (-killed [1045/55], bur Strasbourg). An undated charter relating to the foundation of Kloster Muri by "Radeboto comes…uxorem…Itam" names "Otto et Alberctus et Wernharius" as their children, adding that Otto was killed "ab Erinliero quodam milite" and was buried at Strasbourg[569]. Graf im Oberelsaß (Upper Alsace).

(b) ALBRECHT [I] (-Hünigen [before 1050], bur Muri). An undated charter relating to the foundation of Kloster Muri by "Radeboto comes…uxorem…Itam" names "Otto et Alberctus et Wernharius" as their children, adding that Albrecht died "ad Honigin" and was buried with his father (at Kloster Muri)[570].

(c) WERNER [I] (-11 Nov 1096, bur Muri). An undated charter relating to the foundation of Kloster Muri by "Radeboto comes…uxorem…Itam" names "Otto et Alberctus et Wernharius" as their children, adding that Otto was killed "ab Erinliero quodam milite" and was buried at Strasbourg[571]. A Habsburg genealogy names "Wernherum comitem et Richenzam sororem eius de Lenzburg" as the children of "Ita de Habspurg"[572].

- GRAFEN von HABSBURG.

(d) RICHENZA (-27 May 1080, bur Kloster Muri). A Habsburg genealogy names "Wernherum comitem et Richenzam sororem eius de Lenzburg" as the children of "Ita de Habspurg"[573]. The necrology of the church of Bero records the death "VI Kal Iun 1080" of "Richenza com"[574]. m [ULRICH [II] Graf von Lenzburg und im Zürichgau], nepos of ULRICH [I] Graf von Lenzburg.

ii) RUDOLF [I] (-before 29 Jan 1063). An undated charter records the foundation of Kloster Muri by "Radeboto comes…uxorem…Itam" and records that "fratre…eius Rudolfo" founded "cellam Othmarshein"[575]. Graf im Oberelsaß (Upper Alsace) and the Rauhen Alb, following his older brother’s partition of the family territories. "Heinricus…rex" confirmed the donation of property "in comitatu Chunonis comitis et in pago Alsatia…in comitatu Gerardi comitis…in comitatu Wernhardi comitis et in pago Mortenva…in comitatu Herimanni comitis et in pago Brisergouiaæ…in comitatu Rudolphi comitis et in pago Scerron…in comitatu Liutoldi comitis et in pago Chletgowe…in comitatu Arnoldi comitis et in pago Frichgoue" to Kloster Otmarsheim by "vidua Chunigund…a marito illius Rudolpho" by charter dated 1 Mar 1064[576]. He founded, together with his wife, the Convent of Ottmarsheim, in Upper Alsace[577]. m KUNIGUNDE, daughter of --- (-after 1 Mar 1064). The primary source which confirms her marriage has not yet been identified.

iii) WERNER (-Constantinople 28 Oct 1028, bur Constantinople). His parentage is indicated by a charter dated 1027 under which "Wernherus Strasburgensis episcopus et castri quod dicitur Habesbur, fundator monasterio in patrimonio meo…Mure…in pago Argoia in comitatu Rore" donated property to Kloster Muri "per manum germani fratris mei Lancelini"[578]. An undated charter which records the foundation of Kloster Muri by "Radeboto comes…uxorem…Itam" states that Ita was "de partibus Lotharingorum…sororem Theodrici ducis ac Wernharii, Argentine civitatis episcopi" and adds that Werner died and was buried at Constantinople "anno 1027"[579]. Bishop of Strasbourg 1002. Imperial envoy at the court of Constantinople.

iv) LANCELIN (-after 1027). His parentage is indicated by a charter dated 1027 under which "Wernherus Strasburgensis episcopus et castri quod dicitur Habesbur, fundator monasterio in patrimonio meo…Mure…in pago Argoia in comitatu Rore" donated property to Kloster Muri "per manum germani fratris mei Lancelini"[580]. same person as…? LANDOLT . It is not known whether "Lancelini" was the same person as Landolt, husband of Bertha, but the similarity of names suggests that it is possible. Vogt of Reichenau 992. Ancestor of the House of Zähringen[581].]

- see below.

LANCELIN, son of LANZELIN Graf von Altenburg & his wife Lütgard von Nellenburg (-after 1027). His parentage is indicated by a charter dated 1027 under which "Wernherus Strasburgensis episcopus et castri quod dicitur Habesbur, fundator monasterio in patrimonio meo…Mure…in pago Argoia in comitatu Rore" donated property to Kloster Muri "per manum germani fratris mei Lancelini"[582].

same person as…? LANDOLT (-after 992). It is not known whether "Lancelini" was the same person as Landolt, husband of Bertha, but the similarity of names suggests that it is possible. Vogt of Reichenau 992.

m BERTHA, sister of FRIEDRICH Graf im Sündergau [Staufer], daughter of --- (-after [1000]). The Tabula consanguinitatis Friderici I regis et Adelæ reginæ (which provided the basis for their divorce) records "Berta" and "Fridericus" as brother and sister, and their descendants[583].

Landolt & his wife had two children:

1. BEZZELIN [Bertilo] (-15 Jul [1024]). The Tabula consanguinitatis Friderici I regis et Adelæ reginæ (which provided the basis for their divorce) names "Berta" (sister of "Fridericus") as mother of "Bezelinum de Vilingen"[584]. The Genealogia Zaringorum names "Bezelinus comes" and his brother "Gebezone" as the first known members of the Zähringer family, specifying that they built Kloster Sulzburg near Mühlheim[585]. Graf in der Ortenau. "Otto…rex" confirmed an exchange of property "villam…Nerichouua ultra fluvium Moldaha" agreed between Gisalhar Archbishop of Magdeburg and "Becilinum comitem" by charter dated 18 Sep 991[586], although it is not known whether this refers to the same person. "Pyrtilo" founded the monastery of Sulzburg by charter dated to [993], confirmed by Emperor Otto II by charter dated 22 Jun 993 at the request of "Byrchtilonis comitis" specifying that Sulzburg was "in pago Brysichgowe…in comitatu superius iam scripti Birchtilonis comitis"[587]. "Otto…Romanorum imperator augustus" granted the right to a market in Villingen to "Berhtoldo comiti nostro" by charter dated 29 Mar 999[588]. This may have been the same person as Bezzelin, ancestor of the Zähringen family, or at least the grantee may have been closely related to him considering that the name Berthold was used frequently by Bezzelin's descendants. "Pirctelo…cum manu fratris mei Gebehardi" donated property to Sulzburg monastery "in pago Prisicheuue in comitatu Adalberoni comitis", and granted the monastery to the church of Basel, by charter dated 28 Mar 1008, witnessed by "Adalbero comes, Beretholt comes, Ruodolf comes…"[589]. "Heinricus…Romanorum imperator augustus" renewed the privileges of Kloster Fulda by undated charter, placed in the compilation with other charters dated 1020, witnessed by "Godifridi ducis, Berinhardi ducis, Thiederici ducis, Welphonis comitis, Cunonis comitis, Kunrati comitis, Ottonis comitis, Adilbrahtis comitis, Bobonis comitis, Friderici comitis, Bezilini comitis, Ezonis comitis palatini"[590], the order of witnesses presumably giving some idea of the relative importance of these named nobles at the court of Emperor Heinrich II at the time. m [LUITGARD], daughter of ---, patruus of EBERHARD [IV] "dem Seligen" Graf von Nellenburg. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. Graf Bezzelin & his wife had one child:

a) BERTHOLD (-Limburg 5/6 Nov 1078, bur Hirsau). The Tabula consanguinitatis Friderici I regis et Adelæ reginæ (which provided the basis for their divorce) names "Bertolfum cum Barba" as son of "Bezelinum de Vilingen"[591]. The Genealogia Zaringorum names "Berchtoldus Cum-barba" as son of "Bezelinus comes", specifying that he was buried at Hirsau[592]. "Heinricus…Romanorum imperator augustus" confirmed property "…in pago Brysihcgowe in villis Mulinheim et Ougheim in comitatu Bertholdi comitis…in pago Brisihcgowe in villa Piccensole in comitatu supra dicti Bertholdi comitis…" to the cathedral of Basel by charter dated 1 Jun 1048[593]. "Eberhardus comes Turegie provincie" exchanged property with "Bertholdo Carinthiorum duce" by charter dated early Mar 1050, witnessed by "…Burchardus et Eberhardus et Adelbertus, filii Eberhardi comitis…"[594]. This charter is presumably misdated as Berthold did not become Duke of Carinthia until 1061, and his son Marchese in 1072. He was promised the duchy of Swabia by the emperor. He was installed in 1061 as BERTHOLD I "the Bearded" Duke of Carinthia. The Annals of Berthold record that "Berhtoldus comes Suevigena" was appointed Duke of Carinthia in 1061 after the death of "Chounradus…Carantanis ducis"[595]. He never obtained actual possession of the duchy[596], and was deposed in 1077. Marchese di Verona 1066. Graf im Breisgau until 1077. Heinrich IV King of Germany confirmed the privileges of Basel church in property "in comitatu Berchtoldi in pago Brisichgowi" by charter dated 20 May 1073[597]. He founded Kloster Weilheim unter Teck before 1073. He was one of the principal adversaries of Emperor Heinrich IV in the investiture dispute, demonstrated by King Heinrich redistributing Berthold's properties by charter dated 1 Jul 1077 under which "Heinricus…rex" granted property "in pago Brisgowe Bertholfi iam non duci iusto iudicio sublatum" to the church of Strasbourg[598]. m firstly RICHWARA, daughter of --- (-before [1056]). . The wife of "Berchtoldus dux de Zaringen" is named "Richwara" in a list of founders of the monastery of St Peter in Schwarzwald[599]. According to Wegener, she was Richwara of Swabia, daughter of Hermann IV Duke of Swabia [Babenberg] & his wife Adelaida di Susa. However, this seems unlikely from a chronological point of view. Richwara gave birth to five children, presumably between [1045/55], so is unlikely to have been born later than 1030, when her supposed father was only 15 years old and her supposed mother about 10. m secondly ([1056]) BEATRIX de Mousson, daughter of LOUIS Comte de Mousson & his wife Sophie of Upper Lotharingia (-26 Oct 1092, bur Toul Cathedral).

"Eberhardus comes Turegie provincie" exchanged property with "Bertholdo Carinthiorum duce" by charter dated early Mar 1050, witnessed by "…Herimannus marchio filius B. ducis…"[602]. This charter is presumably misdated as Berthold did not become Duke of Carinthia until 1061, and his son Marchese in 1072. Graf von Limburg bei Weilheim 1064. Graf im Breisgau. He was installed in 1072 as Marchese di Verona. The Annales of Berthold record that "Herimannus marchio, filius ducis Bertholdi, adolescens adhuc" left all his possessions, his wife and only son in 1073 to become a monk at Cluny[603]. The Chronicon of Bernold records the death "1074 VII Kal Mai" of "Heremannus marchio, filius Bertaldi ducis", commenting that "adhuc adolescens" he had left his wife and only son to become a monk at Cluny[604]. m JUDITH von Calw, daughter of [HESSO] II Graf im Sülchgau Herr von Backnang & his wife --- (-Salerno 27 Sep 1091, bur Backnang).

ii) BERTHOLD ([1050]-12 Apr 1111, bur St Peter in Schwarzwald).
