Burchard I (died 5 or 23 November 911) was the Duke of Alamannia from 909 to his 
death and margrave of Raetia Curiensis, as well as Count in the Thurgau and Baar. 
Born between 855 and 860, He was the son of Adalbert II, Margrave of Tuscany, 
Count in the Thurgau. Burchard married Liutgard of Saxony. He is a direct ascendant 
of Queen Elizabeth II[citation needed].

By 900, Burchard was already the most powerful man in Swabia. In 904, he was the 
administrator of the lands of the abbey of Lorsch in Swabia. He succeeded, around 
909, Ruadulf (a Welf) as dux or marchio (duke or margrave) of Raetia Secunda (the 
borderlands of Rhaetia). Burchard entered into a conflict with the Count Palatine 
Erchanger and Bishop Solomon III of Constance, who were loyal to King Conrad I. 
Burchard was captured and charged with high treason. He was found guilty by the 
tribal council and executed, along with his brother, Adalbert III of Thurgau. His son, 
Burchard II, and daughter-in-law, Regelinda, left for Italy, either exiled or taking 
refuge. Their Rhaetian estates were lost, though later recovered. Burchard I's second 
son, Odalric, had already died young.

His daughter Dietpirch of Swabia (also known as Theoberga) married Hupald, Count of 
Dillingen (d. 909).[1] Their children included Ulrich of Augsburg.[2]

The state of Swabia relative to the other stem duchies was highly disorganized at the 
time of Burchard I and he was never duke in the sense of the later dukes. He is 
usually called such only to distinguish him as the most powerful man in the duchy and 
the forerunner of the later dukes: the first being Erchanger, proclaimed duke by the 
nobility, but not the king, in 915.
[cannot be son of Adalbert of Tuscany because Adalbert is born 875 and his children 
born c 900, plus Burkhard's son Burkhard is born 883]
