Burchardinger (Rhaetian noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Rhaetian Burchardinger , also Burcharde , were a noble family of the 10th century with property mainly in (Chur-) Rätien on the Upper Rhine .

The family is derived from Margrave Hunfried von Rätien and presented with Burchard I , Burchard II and Burchard III. as namesake of the family three early dukes of Swabia .

Due to the lead name "Burchard", scientists in the past wrongly assumed that the Hohenzollerns were descended from the Burchardingers. The line of the Hohenzollern family begins with Burchard I. von Zolorin († 1061).

Speculations about Burchard III.

It is mentioned again and again that Duke Burchard III. had entered into a previous marriage with Hadwig before his documented marriage , from which children had also emerged. This “first marriage” with Wieltrud, an Immedingerin, is scientifically only speculation and cannot be documented. Another argument against this thesis is that Emperor Otto II. After the death of Burchard III. 973 transferred the Swabian duke title Otto I , which came from a completely different line (namely the Liudolfinger ). Had Burchard III. had legitimate descendants, the emperor would hardly have been able to pass them over to the ducal succession.

Alfons Zettler writes about this in his History of the Duchy of Swabia : "But we have no more detailed information about whether Burchard's marriage to Hadwig was his first, nor whether children resulted from it or from a possible earlier marriage." (P. 150)
