Friedrich I "Maute" von Zollern, Graf von Zollern

Frederick I, Count of Zollern

Friedrich (Frederick) I von Zollern was the successor to Burkhard (Burchard) I in the Hohenzollern Dynasty as Count of Zollern and has generally been assumed to have been his heir, whether as a son or grandson.

The previous years entered into the profile for his life (1185-10/14/1149) are incorrect. The German reference Stolberg-Wernigerode, Otto zu: New German Biography , Vol. 9, Hess - Hüttig, Berlin, 1972 says Friedrich I "erw. 1085-1115, +(cross sign) vor 1125" ....

The abbreviation "erw." stands for "erwähnt," which means "mentioned" in English. Therefore, the notation that he was "mentioned" (presumably in medieval documents) in 1085 probably means that he was an adult and was active by that time. This is not a birthdate.

Friedrich I, Count of Zollern

Spouse(s) Udilhild of Urach-Dettingen[2]:XXXII

Issue (9), including Frederick II of Zollern

Father Burkhard I (most likely)[2]:XXIX

Friedrich I, Count of Zollern (nicknamed Maute; died: before 1125[1]), was often cited as a powerful Swabian Count and supporter of the imperial party of Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor.

He most likely was the son of Burkhard I,[2]:XXIX and was married to Udilhild (or Udahild) of the House of Urach (died: 11. April, 1134),[2]:LXXXVII which house later became the Fürstenberg family. They had nine children;[2]:LXXXVII his eldest son was Friedrich II.[1] A younger son was Burkhard,[1] who founded the Zollern-Hohenberg line[1] (which became extinct in 1486).

Friedrich I was the first reeve of the Swabian Alpirsbach Abbey,[2]:LXXXVIII which had been founded by Adalbert of Zollern (from the short-lived Zollern-Haigerloch line) and other lords.[2]:XXIX

The Zollern (later: Hohenzollern) dynasty based their rise to power on their loyalty to the ruling royal or imperial family. Friedrich I served the Holy Roman Emperor Henry V, and was sent on a diplomatic mission to France. He also accompanied Henry V on his Italian expedition in 1110 and again in 1111, where Henry V intended to claim the imperial crown in Rome.[3] He is also mentioned as an advisor to Henry V in both 1111 and 1114, both times while the imperial party was in Strasbourg.[2]:XC
