General Notes

Pfalzgraf means "Count Palatine."

Translated from the German, "Berchthold I came from the ducal house of Alaholfinger and was the brother-in-law of the emperor Charles II 'the Fat.' He was an important supporter of his brother-in-law Charles and of Arnulf von Kärnten and was around 880 designated Count Palatine. His ancestors had seized the region of the Baar (so-called 'Berchtholdsbaar')."
