PEGNITZ Heinrich

Abt 1000 - Aft 1043  (> 44 years)

• Name	PEGNITZ Heinrich
  Birth	Abt 1000
  Gender	Male
  Death	Aft 1043
  Notes	Heinrich II, Graf an der Pegnitz is thought to have been the son of Heinrich von Schweinfurt, Markgraf auf dem Nordgau, and his wife Gerberga. This seems to be based on that fact that Heinrich von Schweinfurt was also mentioned as Graf an der Pegnitz in 1009 and 1011, and that succession to these titles may have been inherited. Heinrich appears in the records as Graf an der Pegnitz from 1021-1043. He perhaps married an unnamed daughter of Kuno I [von Altdorf] , Graf im Sualafeld, though this appears to be solely based on Heinrich possibly having a son named Kuno), and was the father of; Heinrich II or III, Graf an der Pegnitz Kuno, Graf von Lechsgemünd. There is also a theory that Heinrich, Graf an der Pegnitz was the father of Otto I, Graf von Scheyern and ancestor of the Wittelsbach dynasty. However, much of this is based on the research and suppositions of one man, Wilhelm Wegener, and there are almost no primary documents to support any of these relationships.
