Biography

Conrad was the son of Conrad, Duke of the Franks and Glismut, daughter of Emperor Arnulf of Carinthia.

Conrad the Elder was killed, as were two of the three Babenberg brothers; the third was executed shortly thereafter, despite a promise of safe conduct by archbishop Hatto I of Mainz, the Kingdom's chancellor. Conrad the Younger became Duke of Franconia after this.
