Friedrich (Count Palatine in Swabia)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich was Count Palatine in Swabia and Count in Riesgau . He was mentioned in two documents 1030 and 1053. Further details about his person are not known.

Whether he was identical to Friedrich , the Staufer's progenitor , cannot be clearly determined, as there is no historical evidence for this. However, this assumption has been considered several times in research.

Descendants are not known.

Individual evidence

  1. The information that he was born around 997/999 and died around 1070 are not supported by historical sources and are probably assumptions by Hansmartin Decker-Hauff .: Das Staufische Haus. In: Württembergisches Landesmuseum (Hrsg.): The time of the Staufer. History - art - culture. Catalog of the exhibition in the Württembergisches Landesmuseum March 26th - June 5th 1977. Volume 3.
