Eckhard I, Count of Scheyern


Eckhard I of Scheyern, also Ekkehard von Scheyern, was a son of Otto I, Count of Scheyern. His mother cannot be unambiguously determined because Otto I Scheyern was first married to Haziga of Diessen and later to an unknown daughter of Count Meginhardt of Reichersbeuern, and the date of Eckhard's birth is not known.
