Kyburg
Kyburg was the county of the Neu-Kyburg counts, a Habsburg branch based at Burgdorf and Thun. In 1337 Eberhard II ruled after murdering his brother Hartmann II at Thun to seize the inheritance.
Rudolf II's failed raid on Solothurn in 1382 sparked the Burgdorf War of 1383 to 1384. Afterwards Bern bought Burgdorf and Thun. The last count, Berchtold, died in Bern in 1417, ending the line; the Habsburgs retained its title.
