Biography
The county of Kastl lay in the Bavarian Nordgau, based around the town of Kastl south-west of Amberg in the present-day Bavarian region of Oberpfalz west of the border with the Czech Republic.
Research Notes
Wegener cites the 14th century Kastler Reimchronik which refers to the father of Hermann Graf von Kastl as a son of Ernst I Duke of Swabia. There is presumably confusion with Hermann IV Duke of Swabia, the son of Duke Ernst.
Wegener also suggests that Hermann was the brother of Gebhard I Graf von Sulzbach, and that they were both sons of Hermann IV Duke of Swabia. However, this is difficult to sustain chronologically considering that Duke Hermann married in 1035 while Graf Hermann had at least two children before his death in 1056.[1]

The ancestry of Herman IV's alleged children has not been definitely determined. ////// It is generally assumed that this Herman's <of Kastl> alleged father, Herman IV, had no children and that he married Adelaide in 1037. He died of disease in 1038, while campaigning in Italy, with the Holy Roman Emperor, Conrad II. Upon his death, Conrad bestowed the Duchy of Swabia upon his son, the future Emperor Heinrich III. One source is: https://germanculture.com.ua/day/october-28-in-german-history "Heinrich III, called the Black or the Pious, was a member of the Salian Dynasty of Holy Roman Emperors. He was the eldest son of Conrad II of Germany and Gisela of Swabia. ... After the death of Herman IV, Duke of Swabia in 1038, his father gave him that duchy (as Henry I), as well as the kingdom of Burgundy, which Conrad had inherited in 1033." ///////
