Burchard I. von Goseck
Burchard I. von Goseck († after November 3, 1017 ) was Count in Hassegau from 991, Count Palatine of Saxony from 1003 , Count of Merseburg from 1004 and Imperial Vogt from 1012 .
His parents were probably Count Burchard IV in Hassegau and Emme von Merseburg (K. Meyer names Count Siegfried in Hassegau 961–980 as his father); his cousin was therefore the Margrave Dedo I of Wettin-Ostmark .
He was in high favor with Emperor Heinrich II . He was particularly against the powerful Margraves of Meissen .
In 1004 he inherited the important Burgward Merseburg from his brother-in-law Esiko von Merseburg , that is, the county rights and the associated fiefdom, but not the property that Heinrich II retained.
In 1009 he advocated that Werner von Walbeck could keep his margraviate.
In 1015 he took part in a campaign against Poland, where he was seriously wounded. Around February 10, 1016, after a storm, he suffered a stroke.
