<font size="2"><strong><a name="_Toc301250156"></a>C. HERREN von STAUFEN</strong></font> <p>The Swabian "Staufen" family were representative of a new type of nobility which emerged in Germany in the second half of the 11th century. They were unconnected either with the original German tribes, such as the Saxons or Bavarians, or with the artificial political creations such as Lotharingia. The family owed its rise to power to strategically placed castles, in particular the castle of Stauf on the Staufenberg near Göppingen, from which the family took its name. The Staufer broadened their influence by building further castles and eventually centred their activities around the town of Waiblingen in Swabia, from which their Italian supporters eventually adopting the name "Ghibellines". </p> <p style="margin-: 1cm; text-indent: -1cm">1.<span style="font: 7pt 'times new roman'"> </span><strong><span style="color: gray">FRIEDRICH</span></strong> (-after Jul 1027).

This assumes the need for such a hereditary basis, whereas it appears that the duchy of Swabia was awarded on the basis of the political or economic power of the nominee. In addition, if heredity had been the basis for the nomination, there would clearly have been other candidates with a senior claim.

Jackman says that this should be rejected on chronological grounds as Sophie de Lorraine, the wife of Louis de Mousson, must have been born in [1020] and could not therefore have been the grandmother of Friedrich I Duke of Swabia, born in [1050].
