Herman I, Duke Of Swabia
Herman I (died 10 December 949) was the first Conradine Duke of Swabia (from 926), the son of Gebhard, Duke of Lorraine, and a cousin of King Conrad I of Germany. When duke Burchard II died at Novara, while campaigning in Italy, King Henry the Fowler gave the duchy to Herman.

Only once during his reign did Herman face a rebellion by his vassals, but he was also forced several times to make concessions in Switzerland. Sankt Gallen was given over to the direct protection of the king and the duke lost the use of its lands and incomes.

At Worms in 950, after Herman's death, Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor appointed his son Liudolf, who had, in 947 or 948, married Herman ...
