Burchard V, Count of Mansfeld

Burchard V was Count of Mansfeld from the Querfurt line, the son of Count Burchard IV and husband of Oda of Wernigerode. He is documented from 1291 and steadily built up his lordship at the foot of the Harz, holding Allstedt, Hedersleben, Schraplau and Helfta.

Of his many sons, Burchard VI succeeded him as count, Gebhard married Luitgard of Valkenstein in 1327, and Ruprecht served the Hospitallers as a commander. Burchard died between 1354 and 1358 and was buried at Eisleben.
