Counts of Winterthur

The Counts of Winterthur were a Swabian noble family, a branch of the Udalrichinger dynasty, who ruled parts of Thurgau in the 10th and 11th centuries.They are named for the Alemannic settlement at Vitudurum, but their rule predates the foundation of the city of Winterthur in 1180. The first count of Winterthur was Liutfried II (fl.970s), third son of Udalrich VI of Bregenz (d. 955).This Liutfried likely built the first Kyburg castle in the later 10th century. He was succeded by his son Adalbert I (d. 8 September 1030).
