Friedrich I. (Zollern)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich I , called Maute , Count of Zollern († before 1125 ). He was often mentioned as an imperial partisan and powerful Swabian count.

Life

He was the son or grandson of Burkhard I and married to Udilhild (also Udahild) von Urach-Dettingen († around 1134) from the Fürstenberg family. He had at least eight children with her. The eldest son was Friedrich II , a younger son was Burkhard , who founded the Zollern-Hohenberg line (expired in 1486).

Friedrich I was the first Vogt of the Swabian monastery Alpirsbach , which Adalbert von Zollern (from the soon-to-be-extinct line of Zollern-Haigerloch ) and other lords had founded. He was not referred to by his family name in the monastery documents. Nevertheless, Friedrich is undisputed as a member of the sex. On the one hand, the monastery was a foundation of the Hohenzollern family and, on the other hand, the count was named Friedrich. More than half of the Hohenzollern people by the end of the Middle Ages bore the name Friedrich, with and without a middle name. The (Hohen-) Zollern justified their rise by referring to the respective royal or imperial family. Frederick I already stepped onto the stage of higher politics when he was sent to France by Emperor Heinrich V on a diplomatic mission. He also accompanied him on his Italian train in 1110/11, during which Heinrich wanted to claim the imperial crown in Rome.
