He most likely was the son of Burkhard I, [2] : XXIX  and was married to Udilhild (or Udahild) of the House of Urach (died: 11. April, 1134), [2] : LXXXVII  which house later became the Fürstenberg family. They had nine children; [2] : LXXXVII  his eldest son was Frederick II. [1] A younger son was Burkhard, [1] who founded the Zollern-Hohenberg line [1] (which became extinct in 1486).

Frederick was the first reeve of the Swabian Alpirsbach Abbey, [2] : LXXXVIII  which had been founded by Adalbert of Zollern (from the short-lived Zollern-Haigerloch line) and other lords. [2] : XXIX 

The Zollern (later: Hohenzollern) dynasty based their rise to power on their loyalty to the ruling royal or imperial family. Frederick I served the Holy Roman Emperor Henry V, and was sent on a diplomatic mission to France. He also accompanied Henry V on his Italian expedition in 1110 and again in 1111, where Henry V intended to claim the imperial crown in Rome. [3] He is also mentioned as an advisor to Henry V in both 1111 and 1114, both times while the imperial party was in Strasbourg. [2] : XC
