Additional information

Formbach was a minor comital dynasty in the Inn quarter of Bavaria whose line died out in 1158 when Count Ekbert II was killed on crusade, leaving the county's territories and minting rights to pass eventually to the Habsburgs' predecessors. The anonymity of this issue is not unusual for the period — attribution to a specific count is genuinely contested, and CNA#B52a represents the scholarly consensus rather than any documentary certainty.
