Life

Friedrich was the younger son of the Count Friedrich VI of Hohenzollern from his marriage to Kunigunde (1265–1310), the daughter of Margrave Rudolf I of Baden. After his elder brother Friedrich VII died in 1309, Frederik VIII ruled Zollern jointly with his nephew Fritz I. After Fritz I died in 1313, Friedrich VIII ruled alone.

Friedrich VIII founded the Hohenzollern line when he divided the county with his brother. In the power conflict of his time, Friedrich VIII supported the Austrian side, and later sided with Emperor Louis IV.
