Burchard (died 3 August 908) was the Duke of Thuringia (and the Sorbian March)[1] from shortly after 892 until his death.
He replaced Poppo as duke shortly after his appointment in 892, but the reasons for Poppo's leaving office are unknown.
[2] In 908 he led a large army in battle against the Magyars.
In Saxony on 3 August, he fought a pitched battle at Eisenach, was defeated, and died, along with Rudolf I, Bishop of Würzburg, and Count Egino.
[3][4] After Burchard, no further dukes of the Thuringii are recorded, but they remained a distinct people, eventually forming a landgraviate in the High Middle Ages.
