Eckhard I of Scheyern

Count of Scheyern (c. 1044–1091) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eckhard I of Scheyern, also Ekkehard von Scheyern (c. 1044 – died before 11 May 1091), was a son of Otto I, Count of Scheyern.[1] His mother cannot be unambiguously determined because Otto I Scheyern was first married to Haziga of Diessen (the widow of Count Herman of Kastl) and later to an unknown daughter of Count Meginhardt of Reichersbeuern, and the date of Eckhard's birth is not known.
