Frederick Of Büren
Frederick of Büren ( 1053) was a count in northern Swabia and an ancestor of the imperial Staufer dynasty., nn. 8 & 9. The name Frederick of Büren is known only from the ''Tabula Consanguinitatis'', a Staufer genealogy drawn up by the monk Wibald in the mid-12th century. Wibald writes that Frederick of Büren was the son of an unspecified Frederick and the father of Duke Frederick I of Swabia, "who built Stauf", the castle from which the family later took its name. Otto of Freising, in his ''Gesta'' of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, records that Duke Frederick I was descended "from the most noble counts of Swabia" without naming them. Büren is usually identified with Wäschenbeuren and Frederick with the count of the same name who appears as a witness in a charter of 1053. Also appearing in that charter is the count palatine , who it is speculated may have been Frederick of Büren's father, since the title of count palatine in Swabia is later found with Frederick of Büre ...

Duchy Of Alsace
The Duchy of Alsace ( la, Ducatus Alsacensi, ''Ducatum Elisatium''; german: Herzogtum Elsaß) was a large political subdivision of the Frankish Empire during the last century and a half of Merovingian rule. It corresponded to the territory of Alsace and was carved out of southern Austrasia in the last decade of the reign of Dagobert I, probably to stabilise the southern reaches of Austrasia against Alemannia and Burgundy. By the late Middle Ages, the region was considered part of Swabia. Foundation The term "Alsace" derives from the Germanic ''ali-land-sat-ja'', meaning "one who sits in another land." Alsace was Alemanni territory, but not so much as Alemannia proper, which was east of the Rhine: it was, however, the "other" land in which some Alemanni had settled. In the late Roman Empire, a district of Alsace (''pagus Alsatiae'') had been established in the region. Under Chlothar II, Alsace and Alemannia were granted their own law, the '' Pactus Alamannorum''. In 596, Chil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Duchy Of Swabia
The Duchy of Swabia (German: ''Herzogtum Schwaben'') was one of the five stem duchies of the medieval German Kingdom. It arose in the 10th century in the southwestern area that had been settled by Alemanni tribes in Late Antiquity. While the historic region of Swabia takes its name from the ancient Suebi, dwelling in the angle formed by the Rhine and the Danube, the stem duchy comprised a much larger territory, stretching from the Alsatian Vosges mountain range in the west to the right bank of the river Lech in the east and up to Chiavenna (''Kleven'') and Gotthard Pass in the south. The name of the larger stem duchy was often used interchangeably with '' Alamannia'' during the High Middle Ages, until about the 11th century, when the form Swabia began to prevail. The Duchy of Swabia was proclaimed by the Ahalolfing count palatine Erchanger in 915. He had allied himself with his Hunfriding rival Burchard II and defeated King Conrad I of Germany in a battle at Wahlwies. Th ...
