Otto I, Count of Scheyern

Otto I, Count of Scheyern (some authors call him Otto II of Scheyern;[citation needed] c. 1020 – before 4 December 1072) was the earliest known ancestor of the House of Wittelsbach whose relation with the House can be properly verified.

Most historians believe Otto was a younger son of Heinrich I, Count of Pegnitz and an unnamed daughter of Kuno I, Count of Altdorf.

[2] A document from 1073 calls him Comes de Skyrun, i.e. Count of Scheyern.

Otto I died on December 4, 1072, while on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
