Burkhard I (Zollern)
Burkhard I. von Zollern (de Zolorin) , also Burchard von Zollern , († 1061 ) is the first Hohenzoller named in a reliable source .
Life
Much remains in the dark about the origin of the Zollern . Due to the name, earlier scholars had wrongly assumed that Burkhard came from the medieval Burchardinger family. It is not possible to make historically reliable statements about Burkhard's origin.
In the annals of the Reichenau monk Berthold , Burchardus et Wezil de Zolorin , who were killed in 1061, are mentioned. A relationship to one another cannot be proven, although this is assumed in later sources. Whether the nobles fell in a feud or not is not made clear in the monk's record.
His father could be Friedrich, a count in Sülichgau (roughly equivalent to today's Tübingen district ). Irmentrud, daughter of Count Burkhard von Nellenburg, is suspected to be with the mother . The next known Hohenzoller is Friedrich I.
