Notes:

Burchard was the most powerful ruler in Swabia around 900. In an exchange contract from 904, Burchard is also found as Vogt of the Swabian estates of Lorsch Abbey. In order to expand his power, he began against Count Palatine Erchanger, a loyal subordinate of Conrad I, and the Bishop Solomon III. von Konstanz, abbot of the St. Gallen monastery (→ Appenzell Ausserrhoden), to intrigue. Burchard was captured and charged by the Swabian state parliament with high treason and found guilty. His son, Burchard II, and his wife Regelinda were able to flee to relatives in Italy, but lost their property in Swabia and Raetia. Burchard and his brother Adalbert, the Count of Thurgau, were executed in 911.

*******************************

Burchard I (c. 850/855 – 5 or 23 November 911), a member of the Hunfriding dynasty, was a Duke of Alamannia from 909 until his death. He also held the title of a margrave of Raetia Curiensis, as well as count in the Thurgau and Baar.

Burchard was the son of Adalbert II the Illustrious, Count of Thurgau, and his wife Judith of Friuli. By 900, Burchard was already the most powerful noble in Alamannia. In a 904 deed, he appeared as Vogt administrator of the Swabian possessions of Lorsch Abbey. He succeeded the Welf scion Ruadulf in the borderlands of Raetia, mentioned as marchio (margrave) in 903 and dux (duke) in 909.

To further increase his influence, Burchard entered into a conflict with the Swabian count palatine Erchanger and Bishop Solomon III of Constance, who both were loyal supporters to the later East Frankish king Conrad I. In turn, Burchard was captured and charged with high treason. He was found guilty by a tribal council and executed, along with his brother, Count Adalbert III of Thurgau.

His son, Burchard II, and his daughter-in-law, Regelinda, left for Italy, either exiled or taking refuge. Their Rhaetian estates were lost, though later recovered. Count Palatine Erchanger proclaimed himself Duke of Swabia in 915.

About 882 Burchard married one Liutgard (possibly the Ottonian princess Liutgard of Saxony, widow of King Louis the Younger) and had the following children:
. Burchard II (d. 926), succeeded as Duke of Swabia in 917
. Dietpirch of Swabia (also known as Theoberga) married Hupald of Dillingen (d. 909).
. Odalric, count in the Thurgau and Zürichgau, had issue.

Notes:

Burchard II (883-29 April 926) was the Hunfriding Duke of Swabia (from 917) and Count of Raetia. He was the son of Burchard I of Swabia and Liutgard of Saxony.

Burchard took part in the early wars over Swabia. His family being from Franconia, he founded the monastery of St Margarethen in Waldkirch to extend his family's influence into the Rhineland. On his father's arrest and execution for high treason in 911, he and his wife, Regelinda, daughter of Count Eberhard I of Zürich, went to Italy: either banished by Count Erchanger or voluntarily exiling themselves to their relatives over the Alps. Around 913, Burchard returned from exile and took control over his father's property. In 915, he joined Erchanger and Arnulf, Duke of Bavaria, in battle against the Magyars. Then Burchard and Erchanger turned on King Conrad I and, at the Battle of Wahlwies in the Hegau, defeated him. Erchanger was proclaimed duke.

After Erchanger was killed on 21 January 917, Burchard seized all his lands and was recognised universally as duke. In 919, King Rudolph II of Upper Burgundy seized the county of Zürich and invaded the region of Konstanz, then the centre and practical capital of the Swabian duchy. At Winterthur, however, Rudolph was defeated by Burchard, who thus consolidated the duchy and forced on the king his own territorial claims. In that same year, he recognised the newly elected king of Germany, Henry the Fowler, duke of Saxony. Henry in turn gave Burchard rights of taxation and investiture of bishops and abbots in his duchy.

In 922, Burchard married his daughter Bertha to Rudolph and affirmed the peace of three years prior. Burchard then accompanied Rudolph into Italy when he was elected king by opponents of the Emperor Berengar. In 924, the emperor died and Hugh of Arles was elected by his partisans to oppose Rudolph. Burchard attacked Novara, defended by the troops of Lambert, Archbishop of Milan. There he was killed, probably on April 29. His widow, Regelinda (d. 958), remarried to Burchard's successor, Herman I. She had given him five children:

1.) Gisela (c. 905-26 October 923 or 925), abbess of Waldkirch

2.) Hicha (c. 905-950), whose son was Conrad, Duke of Lorraine

3.) Burchard III (c. 915-1 November 973), later duke of Swabia

4.) Bertha (c. 907 -2 January 961), married Rudolph II, King of Burgundy

5.) Adalric (d. 973), monk in Einsiedeln Abbey

Burchard married von Sülichgau, Regelinda in 904. Regelinda was born in 888 in Sülichgau (Historical), Tubingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany; died in 959 in Insel Ufenau, Zürich, Switzerland; was buried in 959 in Kilianskappelle auf der Reichenau, Konstanz, Konstanz, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

• Appointments / Titles: Between 922 and 926, Italy; Queen

Notes:

Bertha of Swabia a member of the Alemannic Hunfriding dynasty, was queen of Burgundy from 922 until 937 and queen of Italy from 922 until 926, by her marriage with King Rudolph II. She was again queen of Italy during her second marriage with King Hugh from 937 until his death in 948.

Bertha was the daughter of Duke Burchard II of Swabia and his wife Regelinda.

In 922 she was married to the Burgundian king Rudolph II. The Welf rulers of Upper Burgundy had campaigned the adjacent Swabian Thurgau region several times, and the marriage was meant as a gesture of reconciliation. With her husband Rudolph, Bertha founded the church of Amsoldingen.

12 December 937, the widowed Bertha married King Hugh of Italy in what is today Colombier. This marriage was not a happy one; when Hugh died in 947, Bertha returned to Burgundy.

Between 950 and 960, Bertha founded Payerne Priory, where she was buried. Up to today she is venerated as "Good Queen Bertha" (La reine Berthe) in the Swiss Romandy region, mainly in Vaud, and numerous myths and legends have evolved about her life.

Bertha married von Hochburgund, King Rudolph II in 922 in Bourgogne, France. Rudolph (son of von Hochburgund, Rudolph I and de Provence, Guilla) was born on 11 Jul 880 in Bourgogne, France; died on 11 Jul 937 in Lot-et-Garonne, Aquitaine, France; was buried on 13 Jul 937 in Sankt Moritz, Graubünden, Switzerland.

Notes:

Conrad I, called the Peaceful (French: Conrad le Pacifique; German: Konrad der Friedfertige), a member of the Elder House of Welf, was King of Burgundy from 937 until his death.

Son of King Rudolph II, and his consort Bertha, a daughter of Duke Burchard II of Swabia.

Also known as Conrad III, since he was the third Conrad in his family: his great-grandfather was Duke Conrad II, whose father was Count Conrad I.

According to chronicler Ekkehard IV, in a story that is probably apocryphal, when Conrad learned that both the Magyars and the Saracens of Fraxinetum were marching against him, he sent envoys to both armies warning them of the other. The envoys offered Burgundian aid to each invader against the other and then informed them of the other's whereabouts. When the Magyars and Saracens met, the Burgundians held back and only attacked when the opposing forces were spent. In this way, both invading armies were destroyed and the captives sold into slavery.
