--------------------
Berthold I van Beieren (ca. 890 - 23 november 947) was een jongere zoon van markgraaf Luitpold van Karinthië en van Cunigonde van Zwaben. In 926 was hij graaf van de Vinschgau en Engadin, en in 927 werd hij hertog van Karinthië. Nadat Otto I de Grote in 938 de opstandige hertog Everhard van Beieren, neef van Berthold, had verdreven, werd Berthold tot hertog van Beieren benoemd. Berthold moest daarvoor wel de bijzondere rechten van het hertogdom Beieren opgeven: het recht van bisschopsbenoeming en de beschikking over koningsgoederen. Otto wilde Berthold laten trouwen met zijn zuster Gerberga van Saksen, die net weduwe was geworden, maar Gerberga trouwde snel met Lodewijk IV van Frankrijk.
Berthold verenigde Karinthië met Beieren maar bij zijn dood werden beide hertogdommen opnieuw gesplitst. Hij was van grote betekenis voor de verbreiding van het christendom in Karinthië. Hij versloeg in 943 de Hongaren bij Wels (stad). Berthold werd begraven in het klooster van Niederalteich.
Hij was gehuwd met de H. Wiltrudis van Bergen. Ze kregen twee kinderen:
Hendrik III van Beieren
Kunigunde, getrouwd met Udalrich van de Schweinachgau.

Berthold (c.900 - 23 November 947), of the Luitpolding dynasty, was the younger son of the margrave Luitpold and Cunigunda and successor of the duke Eberhard as Duke of Bavaria in 938.

It is known that Berthold was the count of Carinthia in 926 and in 927, King Henry the Fowler made him duke. In 938, Eberhard was removed in Bavaria by Otto the Great, who appointed Berthold in his place. Unlike the powerful late duke Arnulf the Bad, his elder brother, Berthold was not given the right to appoint bishops or administer royal property, but he remained loyal to the Ottonians. Berthold planned to marry Gerberga, sister of Otto, and then Hedwige, another sister, but these plans fell through. Instead he married Biltrude, a Bavarian noblewoman.

In 943, he dealt defeat to the Magyars and staved off their attacks for a while, as Arnulf had done before him. He united Carinthia to Bavaria, but it was separated on his death, when his son Henry received it as compensation for losing the duchy of Bavaria, which was given to another Henry, the brother of Otto.
