Lanzelin of Klettgau
Lanzelin (c. 940-981/991) was a Germanic noble and was a distant ancestor of the House of Habsburg. His father, Guntram the Rich, was a powerful nobleman. He married Liutgarda of Nellenburg (daughter of Eberhart III of Thurgau) from whom he inherited part of his possessions in present-day Switzerland, whilst from his father he inherited the titles of Duke of Muri and Count of Sundgau. He also possessed the titles of Duke of Altenburg and Count of Klettgau, and had lands in Alsace.
