Toggenburg
Toggenburg was a county named for the family castle near Kirchberg in St. Gallen. In 1337 Count Diethelm V ruled the county.
His brother Frederick married Kunigunde of Vaz and inherited her family's Raetian estates, including Davos, making the Toggenburgs a great house between the Swiss Confederation and the Habsburgs. Count Frederick VII died at Feldkirch in 1436, ending the male line. The disputed inheritance, much of which passed to the lords of Raron, helped trigger the Old Zurich War; in 1443 confederate troops desecrated the family tombs at Rüti Abbey.
