House of Habsburg
Ruins of the castle of Habsburg, or Habichtsburg (“Hawk's Castle”), built 1020, the original seat of the house of Habsburg, Aargau canton, Switzerland.
The earliest traceable ancestor of the House of Habsburg is Guntram the Rich. Historical records suggest that he may indeed be identified as the same Count Guntram who led a rebellion against the German king Otto I in 950 CE.1
