Henry I the Bearded
Around 1240, the first Schaffgotsch appears in a Silesian document as "Sibotho de nobili Familia Ovium" ("ovium" is the Latin word for "sheep", the translation of the German word "Schaf(f)"). According to tradition, Sibotho came in the entourage of Hedwig of Andechs and Henry I the Bearded.
