Frederick was the son of
Benedictine abbey at the site of former Lorch Castle about 1100.[2] By his mother he ruled over large Alsatian estates around Schlettstadt and Hagenau
.
When during the
Agnes of Waiblingen.[3] Contested by Rudolf's son Berthold of Rheinfelden and Berthold of Zähringen, Frederick only ruled over the northern parts of the Swabian duchy down to Ulm and the Danube River.[4] Finally in 1098, he and Berthold of Zähringen reached a compromise, whereby his rival confined himself to the title of a "Duke of Zähringen".[4]
In the last years of his reign, Frederick was able to expand the Hohenstaufen territories northwards, when he assumed the office of a Bishopric of Speyer in Rhenish Franconia.
