Lanzelin (c. 940-981/991) was a Germanic noble and was a distant ancestor of the House of Habsburg. His father,[1] Guntram the Rich, was a powerful nobleman. He married Liutgarda of Nellenburg (daughter of Eberhart III of Thurgau[2]) from whom he inherited part of his possessions in present-day Switzerland, whilst from his father he inherited the titles of Duke of Muri and Count of Sundgau.[3] He also possessed the titles of Duke of Altenburg and Count of Klettgau, and had lands in Alsace.
