Burchard II (883/884 – 29 April 926) was the Hunfriding Duke of Swabia (from 917) and Count of Raetia. He was the son of Burchard I and Liutgard of Saxony.
Burchard took part in the early wars over Swabia. His family being from Franconia, he founded the monastery of St Margarethen in Waldkirch to extend his family's influence into the Rhineland. On his father's arrest and execution for high treason in 911, he and his wife, Regelinda, daughter of Count Eberhard I of Zürich, went to Italy: either banished by Count Erchanger or voluntarily exiling themselves to their relatives over the Alps. Around 913, Burchard returned from exile and took control over his father's property. In 915, he joined Erchanger and Arnulf, Duke of Bavaria, in battle against the Magyars. Then Burchard and Erchanger turned on King Conrad I and, at the Battle of Wahlwies in the Hegau, defeated him. Erchanger was proclaimed duke.
After Erchanger was killed on 21 January 917, Burchard seized all his lands and was recognised universally as duke. In 919, King Rudolph II of Upper Burgundy seized the county of Zürich and invaded the region of Konstanz, then the centre and practical capital of the Swabian duchy. At Winterthur, however, Rudolph was defeated by Burchard, who thus consolidated the duchy and forced on the king his own territorial claims. In that same year, he recognised the newly-elected king of Germany, Henry the Fowler, duke of Saxony. Henry in turn gave Burchard rights of taxation and investiture of bishops and abbots in his duchy.
In 922, Burchard married his daughter Bertha to Rudolph and affirms the peace of three years prior. Burchard then accompanied Rudolph into Italy when he was elected king by opponents of the Emperor Berengar. In 924, the emperor died and Hugh of Arles was elected by his partisans to oppose Rudolph. Burchard attacked Novara, defended by the troops of Lambert, Archbishop of Milan. There he was killed, probably on April 29. His widow, Regelinda (d. 958), remarried to Burchard's successor, Herman I. She had given him five children:
* Gisela (c. 905 – 26 October 923 or 925), abbess of Waldkirch
* Hicha (c. 905 – 950)
* Burchard III (c. 915 – 11 November 973), later duke of Swabia
* Bertha (c. 907 – 2 January 961), married Rudolph II, King of Burgundy

Leben [Bearbeiten]
Als Sohn von Burchard I. gehörte Burchard II. zu den führenden Familien im Südwesten des Oberfränkischen Reichs. Er war an den gewaltsamen Auseinandersetzungen um die Bildung des Herzogtums Schwaben Anfang des 10. Jahrhunderts maßgeblich beteiligt. Er gründete zusammen mit seiner Frau das Kloster St. Margarethen in Waldkirch, um seinen Einfluss auf das Gebiet am Oberrhein zu erweitern.
Im Jahre 911 versuchte sein Vater, seinen Einfluss zu erweitern. Er unterlag Bischof Salomo III. von Konstanz und dem Pfalzgrafen Erchanger und wurde hingerichtet. Burchard II. und seine Frau Regelinda gingen in die Verbannung nach Italien. Anderen Texten zufolge floh Burchard zu Verwandten nach Italien. Um 913/914 kehrte Burchard aus dem Exil zurück und nahm die Herrschaft und Besitztümer seines Vaters an sich.
Im gleichen Jahr kämpfte er an der Seite des bairischen Herzogs Arnulf und des Pfalzgrafen Erchanger gegen die Ungarn in der Schlacht am Inn. Burchard bezog offen Opposition gegen König Konrad I. 915 besiegte er im Kampf bei Wahlwies im Hegau, westlich der Pfalz Bodman, den König. Erchanger wurde zum dux/Herzog ausgerufen. Die Synode von Hohenaltheim verurteilte Erchangers Opposition der Herzöge gegen Konrad. Drei Monate nach der Synode, am 21. Januar 917, ließ der König seine Schwäger Erchanger und Berthold sowie einen ihrer Neffen, Liutfried, im Vertrauen auf die Beilegung des Konfliktes mit Konrad unter eigenwilliger Verschärfung des Synodalbeschlusses hinrichten. Nach der Hinrichtung Erchangers erhob sich Burchard, nahm alle Besitztümer Erchangers an sich und wurde als Herzog in ganz Schwaben anerkannt.
Burchard II. stand im Jahre 919 in harter Bedrängnis durch Rudolf II. von Hochburgund, der die Pfalz Zürich in seine Gewalt gebracht hatte und von dort zum Bodenseegebiet, dem damaligen politischen und kulturellen Zentrum des Herzogtum Schwaben, vordrang. 919 wehrte der Herzog durch seinen Sieg in der Schlacht bei Winterthur die Gebietsansprüche Rudolfs II. von Hochburgund ab und erkannte im gleichen Jahr den neugewählten ostfränkischen König Heinrich I. an. König Heinrich übergab Herzog Burchard das in Schwaben befindliche Fiskalgut und die anderen materiellen Grundlagen des Königtums. Außerdem überließ er ihm auch die Aufsicht über die Bischofssitze und Reichsklöster, somit konnte er auch dieses Kirchengut der Reichskirche nutzen.
Im Jahre 922 bekräftigte Burchard II. den Frieden mit Burgund durch die Zustimmung zur Hochzeit seiner Tochter Berta mit König Rudolf II. von Hochburgund. Als Burchard II. seinen Schwiegersohn Rudolf II. nach Italien zwecks Übernahme des Königtums begleitete, um ihn gegen den von vielen abgelehnten Kaiser Berengar I. (888-924) zu unterstützen, fand er dort auch Gegner vor. Es wurde ein anderer Anwärter auf den Thron, nämlich Hugo, Markgraf von Provence, zur Thronübernahme eingeladen. Burchard II. wurde Ende April 926 vor Novara von den Truppen, die unter dem Befehl von Lambert von Mailand standen, überfallen und getötet.

Burchard II, Duke of Swabia

The Hunfridings or Burchardings (Bouchardids) were a family of probably Alemannic origin who rose to prominence in their homeland, eventually becoming the first ducal dynasty of Swabia. The first known member of the family was Hunfrid, Margrave of Istria and, according to some sources, last Duke of Friuli under Charlemagne from 799. The last member of the clan was Burchard III, Duke of Swabia, who died in 973. Descendants of the dynasty lived on in the House of Wettin and through the female line.
The most common and oft-recurring names in the family were Hunfrid, Adalbert, Odalric/Ulric, and Burchard. During the rise of the jüngeres Stammesherzogtum, that is, the "younger" stem duchies, the Hunfridings, like the Conradines in Franconia, were merely the most powerful among many well-entrenched ancient families vying for supremacy in Swabia. It took longer for them to establish their hereditary dukeship than either the Liudolfings in Saxony or the Liutpoldings in Bavaria.
When some Hunfridings, Odalric and Hunfrid III, rebelled against Louis the German in the 850s and fled to the court of Charles the Bald in West Francia, they were enfeoffed in Gothia and even given the title marchio, but though they successfully dealt with the Moorish threat from Iberia, they failed to establish a dynasty there.
The Hunfriding genealogy is difficult to trace with certainty. That the later Swabian dukes were descendants of the margrave of Istria and relatives to the host of other counts whose names were common in the family is difficult to prove with certainty, but is nonetheless very likely.

•Leben
Als Sohn von Burchard I. gehörte Burchard II. zu den führenden Familien im Südwesten des Oberfränkischen Reichs. Er war an den gewaltsamen Auseinandersetzungen um die Bildung des Herzogtums Schwaben Anfang des 10. Jahrhunderts maßgeblich beteiligt. Er gründete zusammen mit seiner Frau das Kloster St. Margarethen in Waldkirch, um seinen Einfluss auf das Gebiet am Oberrhein zu erweitern.
Im Jahre 911 versuchte sein Vater, seinen Einfluss zu erweitern. Er unterlag Bischof Salomo III. von Konstanz und dem Pfalzgrafen Erchanger und wurde hingerichtet. Burchard II. und seine Frau Regelinda gingen in die Verbannung nach Italien. Anderen Quellen zufolge floh Burchard zu Verwandten nach Italien. Um 913/914 kehrte Burchard aus dem Exil zurück und nahm die Herrschaft und Besitztümer seines Vaters an sich.
Im selben Jahr kämpfte er an der Seite des bayerischen Herzogs Arnulf und des Pfalzgrafen Erchanger gegen die Ungarn in der Schlacht am Inn. Burchard bezog offen Opposition gegen König Konrad I. 915 besiegte er im Kampf bei Wahlwies im Hegau, westlich der Pfalz Bodman, den König. Erchanger wurde zum dux/Herzog ausgerufen. Die Synode von Hohenaltheim verurteilte Erchangers Opposition der Herzöge gegen Konrad. Drei Monate nach der Synode, am 21. Januar 917, ließ der König seine Schwäger Erchanger und Berthold sowie einen ihrer Neffen, Liutfried, im Vertrauen auf die Beilegung des Konfliktes mit Konrad unter eigenwilliger Verschärfung des Synodalbeschlusses hinrichten. Nach der Hinrichtung Erchangers erhob sich Burchard, nahm alle Besitztümer Erchangers an sich und wurde als Herzog in ganz Schwaben anerkannt.
Burchard II. stand im Jahre 919 in harter Bedrängnis durch Rudolf II. von Hochburgund, der die Pfalz Zürich in seine Gewalt gebracht hatte und von dort zum Bodenseegebiet, dem damaligen politischen und kulturellen Zentrum des Herzogtum Schwaben, vordrang. 919 wehrte der Herzog durch seinen Sieg in der Schlacht bei Winterthur die Gebietsansprüche Rudolfs II. von Hochburgund ab und erkannte im selben Jahr den neugewählten ostfränkischen König Heinrich I. an. König Heinrich übergab Herzog Burchard das in Schwaben befindliche Fiskalgut und die anderen materiellen Grundlagen des Königtums. Außerdem überließ er ihm auch die Aufsicht über die Bischofssitze und Reichsklöster, somit konnte er auch dieses Kirchengut der Reichskirche nutzen.
Im Jahre 922 bekräftigte Burchard II. den Frieden mit Burgund durch die Zustimmung zur Hochzeit seiner Tochter Berta mit König Rudolf II. von Hochburgund. Als Burchard II. seinen Schwiegersohn Rudolf II. nach Italien zwecks Übernahme des Königtums begleitete, um ihn gegen den von vielen abgelehnten Kaiser Berengar I. (888-924) zu unterstützen, fand er dort auch Gegner vor. Es wurde ein anderer Anwärter auf den Thron, nämlich Hugo, Markgraf von Provence, zur Thronübernahme eingeladen. Burchard II. wurde Ende April 926 vor Novara von den Truppen, die unter dem Befehl von Lambert von Mailand standen, überfallen und getötet.
