Summary
Updated 2026-06-09
He built a fortress around 1025 and named it Habsburg. That castle gave its name to the dynasty that would rule much of Europe for eight centuries — but Radbot himself was just a count on the Rhine who died twenty years later, likely murdered.
Biography
About
Radbot was probably the second son of Lanzelin of Klettgau, younger brother to a bishop, and Graf of a county on the High Rhine in Swabia. In 1010 he married Ida, daughter of a duke and a granddaughter of French royalty; their son was Werner I, Count of Habsburg. Around 1025 Radbot built Habsburg Castle, the fortress that would lend its name to a dynasty he couldn't have imagined. Two years later he founded Muri Abbey, populated by Benedictine monks from Einsiedeln. He died in 1045, most likely assassinated, though illness remains possible.
