Regents of Baden

The predecessor to Baden was the county of Breisgau, which belonged to the house of Zähringen. Count Berthold the Bearded was 1061 granted the duchy of Carinthia and the margraviate of Verona as fiefs to himself and his son Hermann, but he lost those fiefs  in the 1070:s because he supported the Pope during the Investiture struggle. Hermann's son with the same name continued however to use the title margrave of Verona until 1112 when he changed the title to margrave of Baden which was the part of Breisgau that he had inherited from his grandfather. Berthold the Bearded's second son Berthold II had himself elected as a pope friendly duke of Swabia 1092 in opposition to the emperor's candidate. He dropped the claim on Swabia 1098 in a settlement with the emperor whereupon he was elevated to duke of Zähringen over his part of the county of Breisgau. When Berthold II's line of the house of Zähringen became extinct 1218 was his fief partitioned between the margraves of Baden and the count of Urach and Kyburg. Thereafter was duke of Zähringen included as one of the margraves of Baden's titles. The part of Zähringen that went to Urach was reunited with Baden during the Napoleonic wars when Baden was greatly enlarged and first elevated to a electorate and then to a grand duchy.

Baden-Baden was partitioned in B-Baden, B-Sponheim and B-Durlach 1515 and in B-Baden and B-Rodemachern 1536. The branch that ruled B-Baden became extinct 1588 and their territory was then united with B-Rodemachern. B-Sponheim became extinct already in 1533.

Baden was reunited 1620 but underwent a partition already in 1622 when Baden-Durlach was partitioned in Baden-Baden, Baden-Rodemachern and Baden-Durlach.
