Eberhard II von Kyburg

Eberhard II von Kyburg (c. 1299–1357), younger son of Count Hartmann I, was trained for the Church, studying at Bologna. A feud with his elder brother Hartmann II ended at a feast at Thun Castle in 1322, when a brawl left Hartmann dead after a fall from a window.

Accused of murdering his brother, Eberhard kept Kyburg with Bernese backing against King Louis IV's confiscation, and in 1328 won minting rights. He fought Bern in the Gümmenenkrieg of 1331–1333 and died on 17 April 1357.
