Radbot was probably the second son of Lanzelin of Klettgau (son of Guntram, Count in Breisgau) and the younger brother of Bishop Werner I of Strasbourg. In 1010, he married Ida (before 979–1035), daughter of Duke Frederick I of Upper Lorraine and Beatrice of France. Their son was named Werner I, Count of Habsburg.
Radbot built Habsburg Castle,[1] and in 1027 established Muri Abbey,[1] built up by Benedictine monks descending from Einsiedeln Abbey.
