Otto I, Count of Scheyern (some authors call him Otto II of Scheyern;[citation needed] c. 1020 – before 4 December 1072) was the earliest known ancestor of the House of Wittelsbach whose relation with the House can be properly verified.
Most historians believe Otto was a younger son of Heinrich I, Count of Pegnitz and an unnamed daughter of Kuno I, Count of Altdorf.[1] He was appointed Vogt of Freising in Bavaria.[2] A document from 1073 calls him Comes de Skyrun, i.e. Count of Scheyern. Otto I died on December 4, 1072, while on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.[2]
Marriage and childrenedit
Otto was married twice.[2] His first wife was from Saxony but her given name has not been preserved.[2] About 1057, he married Haziga of Diessen, daughter of Count Friedrich of Diessen.[2]
Otto had 4 known children. By his first wife he had:
