Kraft I of Toggenburg

Kraft I of Toggenburg, son of Diethelm II, spent his years as count trying to recover the rights and estates his family had lost to St. Gallen Abbey after the feud of 1226. He also fought in campaigns as far afield as Lyon and Alsace. He is probably the minnesinger Count Kraft of Toggenburg whose songs were preserved in the Codex Manesse.

He was reportedly killed in 1254 by a retainer named Locher, because Kraft had allegedly slain Locher's brother. His son Friedrich III succeeded him.
