Berthold von Reisensburg

Berthold of Reisensburg even Perchtold , (* 930, † around 999) from the noble family of Luitpoldinger was the only known son of the Bavarian Palatine Arnulf II. , Who in July 954 before Regensburg in the fight against the siege troops of King Otto I fell . Berthold's mother, whose name has not been passed down, probably came from Swabia .

Berthold took part in the revolt of his father and the Swabian Duke Liudolf against Otto I in 953/54 and after his suppression in 955 he was banished by the king to his mother's allodial estate , the Reisensburg. From there, according to the "Vita Sancti Oudalrici", he is said to have warned the Hungarians besieging Augsburg against the approach of the royal army, which then won the battle on the Lechfeld on August 10, 955 .

After Otto I's death, Berthold supported his cousin Heinrich the quarrel in his conspiracy against Otto II.
