Life

Counties of Hohenzollern around 1370

Friedrich was the older son of Count Friedrich VIII of Zollern and in 1339 followed his older brother Fritzli II as Count of Hohenzollern.

He concluded a seniority contract for Zollern-Zollern on July 27, 1342 with the Schalksburg line . It was determined that the oldest of the two lines Zollern-Zollern and Zollern-Schalksburg should decide on the allocation of the Zollern manlehen . Friedrich commanded a larger military force and therefore became captain of the Lion League , an important aristocratic association.

In 1344 he divided the country with his younger brother Friedrich , known as the Strasbourger , and founded the black count line. The line died out again in 1412 with Friedrich X. Members of his brother's Strasbourg line later provided the counts and princes of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and Hohenzollern-Hechingen .
