Burchard I (Шаблон:Circa – 5 or 23 November 911), a member of the Hunfriding dynasty, was a Duke of Alamannia from 909 until his death. He also held the title of a margrave of Raetia Curiensis, as well as count in the Thurgau and Baar.

Life

Burchard was the son of Adalbert II the Illustrious, Count of Thurgau,Шаблон:Sfn and his wife Judith of Friuli. By 900, Burchard was already the most powerful noble in Alamannia. In a 904 deed, he appeared as Vogt administrator of the Swabian possessions of Lorsch Abbey. He succeeded the Welf scion Ruadulf in the borderlands of Raetia, mentioned as marchio (margrave) in 903 and dux (duke) in 909.

To further increase his influence, Burchard entered into a conflict with the Swabian count palatine Erchanger and Bishop Solomon III of Constance, who both were loyal supporters to the later East Frankish king Conrad I.Шаблон:Sfn In turn, Burchard was captured and charged with high treason.Шаблон:Sfn He was found guilty by a tribal council and executed,Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Efn along with his brother, Count Adalbert III of Thurgau.
