Welf II

Welf II (died 10 March 1030) was a Swabian count and a member of the Elder House of Welf.

He opposed the election of Conrad II in 1024 because it did not suit his interests, but he had to eventually relent.[1]

In the 1020s, Welf feuded with the dioceses of Augsburg and Freising; he pillaged the treasury of Bruno, Bishop of Augsburg, and sacked the city of Augsburg.[2]
