Ulrich I, Count of Württemberg

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Ulrich I (c. 1222 – 25 February 1265), nicknamed the Founder (German: der Stifter), was Count of Württemberg from 1241 until his death in 1265.[1][2]

Life

Ulrich's relation to his predecessors is uncertain. The historian Hansmartin Decker Hauff labelled Ulrich as a son of Hermann of Württemberg and Irmengard of Ulten. Hermann, of which very little is known, is probably a son of Hartmann, Count of Württemberg.

Ulrich is believed to have been a cousin to Hartmann II, Count of Grüningen, and to have a paternal relation with Albert IV, Count of Dillingen.

He was twice married. From his marriage to Mechthild of Baden, daughter of

Hermann V, he had two daughters, and a son, who succeeded him as Ulrich II. From his second marriage to Agnes of Schlesien-Liegnitz, he had another son, Eberhard I
, and possibly another daughter.
