Life

He was the elder son of Count Friedrich VI from his marriage with Kunigunde (1265–1310), a daughter of Rudolf I of Baden.

In 1298, he married Euphemia (d. 1333), a daughter of Count Albrecht II of Hohenberg-Rotenburg. This marriage had been mediated by Emperor Rudolf I himself, and brought an end to many years of rivalry between the Swabian Counts of Zollern and Hohenberg.

Friedrich VII died after 6 October 1309. After his death, the County of Zollern was inherited by his younger brother Friedrich VIII.

Issue

Friedrich and Euphemia had two sons:

  • Fritzli I (d. 1313), Lord of Zollern
  • Albrecht (d. 1320), married Guta of Gutenstein

gollark: And blocking a thing from accessing DC pages because it happens to go against TJ09's **Grand Vision** is... well, bad... and I think most people would agree.
gollark: Then... I'll complain since the T&C says nothing about that?
gollark: Well, not my fault.
gollark: I plan to just run the checks every 5 minutes.
