Burkhard, Margrave of Austria

Burkhard, Margrave of Austria

Burkhard was Margrave in the Bavarian Ostmark ("marchia orientalis"), the territory that was later to become the Margravate of Austria, the core of Austria, from about 960 to 976, when the territory was given to Leopold of Babenberg. Next to nothing is known about him. (The German name for Austria was only first mentioned as "Ostarrichi" in a famous document in 996.)
