Conrad I, Duke of Carinthia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conrad I (c. 97512 or 15 December 1011), of the Salian Dynasty, was the duke of Carinthia from 1004. He was the third son Duke Otto I and thus brother of both Henry of Speyer, father of the Emperor Conrad II, and Bruno, who was pope as Gregory V. He outlived both those elder brothers and his father.

Along with his father, he was a candidate in the royal German election of 1002. In that year or thereabouts, Conrad married Matilda (c.98829 July 1031 or 1032), daughter of Herman II, Duke of Swabia. They had two sons: Conrad, later duke also, and Bruno, Bishop of Würzburg. Conrad died young and was buried in the cathedral at Worms.
