The Hunfridings or Burchardings (Bouchardids) were a noble family of Raetian origin with property mainly in (Chur-)Rhaetia
on the Upper Rhine. They rose to prominence in their homeland, eventually becoming the first ducal dynasty of Swabia. The
first known member of the family was Hunfrid, Margrave of Istria and, according to some sources, last Duke of Friuli under
Charlemagne from 799. The last member of the clan was Burchard III, Duke of Swabia, who died in 973. Descendants of the dynasty
lived on in the female line through the House of Wettin.
