Egino V ruled the Breisgau during a period when the Zähringen dynasty had just collapsed — Duke Berthold V died without heirs in 1218, fragmenting his territories among several regional lords and leaving the upper Rhine politically scrambled. Egino's coinage fills part of that vacuum, issued from a county asserting itself in the aftermath of dynastic extinction. The Wielandt reference places this firmly in the local Breisgau sequence rather than the broader Swabian tradition.
