Konrad II, Count of Württemberg

Konrad II (died 1143) was Count of Württemberg, where he reigned from 1110 to 1143.[1] He served as marshal of Swabia[2] and advocate of the town of Ulm, owning large possessions in the valleys of the Neckar and the Rems.[3]

Details regarding Konrad's father are unknown, but he is believed to belong to the family of the counts of Veringen (Veringenstadt). This is due to the similarity of the arms of the Counts of Veringen with those of the Counts of Württemberg.[4] Thus, it is generally assumed that both noble families are related to each other. Konrad's mother, Luitgard of Beutelsbach, was a sister of his predecessor Konrad I.[5]

After the death of Konrad I, he assumed power as the heir of the castle of Württemberg. Konrad II appeared on 12 May 1110 together with his wife, Hadelwig, as a donor of properties near Göppingen to the monastery Blaubeuren. On 28 December 1122, he would appear as a witness of Emperor Heinrich V in Speyer (his first time as count, the latter without title but mentioned amongst counts).[5]
