The Tyrolean counts were able to strengthen their autonomy from Bavaria after the Welf duke Henry the Proud was deposed by King Conrad III of Germany in 1139.

Berthold I was married to his cousin Agnes (1149–1207), a daughter of Count Otto I of Ortenburg, who was himself a son of Count Albert I of Tyrol. Upon his death, he was succeeded by hissons Berthold II and Henry
