Burkhard I, Count of Zollern (Template:Lang-la; born c. before 1025; killed as part of a feud in 1061[1]) is considered the first well-documented ancestor of the Hohenzollern dynasty.[2] Because of his name, it has been attempted to link the Hohenzollern family's descent to the medieval Burchardings family, but without success.[3] His father may have been Friedrich, a count in the Sülichgau area (roughly corresponding to today's Tübingen district). His mother may have been Irmentrud, the daughter of Count Burkhard of Nellenburg.[1]
In the annals of the monk Berthold of Reichenau from the year 1061, Buchardus de Zolorin and Wezil de Zolorin are mentioned. Based on this source, Burkhard was killed due to a feud.[dubious – discuss] Little is known about the aforementioned persons themselves, or their possible relationship.
The next documented member of the dynasty is Friedrich I, Count of Zollern, who was probably a son or a grandson of Burkhard I.
