In contrast to the other three original provinces of Germany, Franconia had no obvious leader for much of its history. A family of dukes in Franconia is referred to in primary sources during the 7th and 8th centuries, but thereafter references to an overall Franconian ruler are sparse. During the early 10th century, the Konradiner established themselves as arguably the most powerful family in the area, with Eberhard brother of Konrad I King of Germany appointed dux, effectively becoming leader in Franconia. After Eberhard's rebellion in 938, Emperor Otto I appointed no successor duke in Franconia. By the early 11th century, power was concentrated in the family of the future Salian emperors, centred on their power-base in Worms.

The original pagi in Franconia were as follows. The pagus Nafinsis (Nahegau) and, to its east, the pagus Wormaciensis (Wormsgau) were the two Franconian pagi which lay west of the river Rhine during early Carolingian times, within the ecclesiastical diocese of Mainz[1]. The counties of Veldenz and Leiningen, and the territories of the Wildgrafen and Raugrafen, developed in the area of Nahegau. Speyergau lay south of Wormsgau, to the west of the Rhine, south and west of the town of Speyer, and north of Nordgau in Alsace. Ufgau was on the east bank of the Rhine, to the east of Speyergau. Rheingau lay along the eastern bank of the Rhine, east of the towns of Mainz and Worms, and north of the small area of Lobdengau. Maingau lay directly east of Rheingau, and south of Weteneiba. In the northern part of Franconia, south of Saxony, from west to east lay the three areas of Engersgau (which developed into the county of Wied), Lahngau (later divided into Niederlahngau, in which the counties of Diez evolved in the northern area and Weilburg in the south, and Oberlahngau, which became the county of Gleiberg), and Hessengau (around the towns of Fritzlar and Kassel). Grabfeldgau formed the northern part of eastern Franconia, south of Thuringia, with Saalgau to its south. In the southern part of eastern Franconia, lay the smaller areas of Waltsazi, Weringau, Gozfelt, Iphigau, from west to east. To their south, lay Wingarteiba, Tubergau, Gollachgau and Rangau, also from west to east. The southernmost part of eastern Franconia consisted of Elisanzgau, Breitachgau, Scuciengau, Murrachgau, Jägestgau, Cochingau and Mulachgau[2].

Primary sources from the 9th to 12th centuries reveal comital families in Grabfeld, Lahngau, Nahegau, Rheingau and Wormsgau. However, in most cases, several families established themselves in each pagus at the same time, demonstrating the fluidity of political boundaries within Franconia compared, for example, with Swabia to the south and Lotharingia to the west. In addition, individuals within the same family are recorded in more than one pagus at the same time. This is especially apparent in the cases of the Konradiner family and the family which later emerged as the Salian dynasty of German emperors.

This document sets out some prominent Franconian families in the early and middle medieval period. Other nobility in Franconia, for which little family reconstruction has yet been possible on the basis of the primary source information available in preparing the present document, is shown in Chapter 2 of the document GERMAN NOBILITY. The later nobility is shown in the documents HESSEN, NASSAU and PALATINATE, reflecting their geographical distribution. The later nobility based around Würzburg is set out in the present document.

Chapter 1. DUKES in FRANCONIA

1. HRUODIS . m ---. The name of Hruodis's wife is not known. Hruodis & his wife had one child:

a) HETAN [I] . The Passio Kiliani names "duce…Gozberto filio Hetanis senioris qui fuit filius Hruodis" at "castellum…Wirziburc"[3]. m ---. The name of Hetan's wife is not known. Hetan [I] & his wife had one child:

i) GOZBERT . The Passio Kiliani names "duce…Gozberto filio Hetanis senioris qui fuit filius Hruodis" at "castellum…Wirziburc"[4]. The Passio Kiliani records that "Gozbertum" was killed by his followers[5]. m GEILANA, daughter of ---. The Passio Kiliani names "Geilanæ" as wife of "[ducis] Gozberti", specifying in a later passage that she died after "spiritus invasit malignus"[6]. Gozbert & his wife had one child:

(a) HETAN [II] (-after 18 Apr 716). The Passio Kiliani names "Hetanum" as son of "Gozbertum" when recording that he was expelled by "populus orientalium Francorum"[7]. The Monumenta Epternacensia quotes the donation of property "in loco…Arnestati super fluvio Huitteo… et in castello Mulenberge…" to "sancto Willibrordo" by "Hedenus [dux] vir illuster…cum coniuge mea…Theodrada" dated 1 May 704[8]. The Monumenta Epternacensia quotes the donation of property "super fluvio Sala in pago Saluense" to "sancto Willibrordo" by "Hedenus dux" dated 18 Apr 716, subscribed by "Cato comes, Sigericus comes…Theodrada coniuge mea, Ado nutricius Hedeni et Turingus filius Hedeni, Adogoto, Hererico"[9]. m THEODRADA, daughter of ---. The Monumenta Epternacensia quotes the donation of property "in loco…Arnestati super fluvio Huitteo… et in castello Mulenberge…" to "sancto Willibrordo" by "Hedenus [dux] vir illuster…cum coniuge mea…Theodrada" dated 1 May 704[10]. Hetan [II] & his wife had one child:

(1) THURINGUS (-after 18 Apr 716). The Monumenta Epternacensia quotes the donation of property by "Hedenus [dux] vir illuster…cum coniuge mea…Theodrada" dated 1 May 704, subscribed by "Thuringus filius Hedeni"[11]. The Monumenta Epternacensia quotes the donation of property "super fluvio Sala in pago Saluense" to "sancto Willibrordo" by "Hedenus dux" dated 18 Apr 716, subscribed by "…Turingus filius Hedeni…"[12].

1. ADO (-after [Jan/Feb] 802). A list of Saxons in Westphalia dated Jan/Feb 802 records that "Aicharh filium Fredred habuit Ado de Alamania", presumably indicating that the last named had responsibility for the allegiance sworn to the emperor by the first-named[13].

2. NANTHER (-[after 9 Dec 879]). "Ludowicus…rex" confirmed a donation by "Nantharii ducis in orientali francia" and his wife Kunigund to Kloster St Saturnin at Münsterdreisen by charter dated [863/64][14]. "Karolus…rex" made a donation to St Gallen of property "in comitatu Turgeuue" previously owned by "Nandheri et uxor sua Adala cum filiis vel filiabus eorum" by charter dated 9 Dec 879[15]. It is not known whether these two charters refer to the same individual. This is not inevitable as the former document relates to property in Franconia, the latter in Swabia. m firstly KUNIGUND, daughter of ---. "Ludowicus…rex" confirmed a donation by "Nantharii ducis in orientali francia" and his wife Kunigund to Kloster St Saturnin at Münsterdreisen by charter dated [863/64][16]. m secondly ADELA, daughter of ---.

Chapter 2. Die AHALOLFINGER

It is not certain that Erchanger, father of Empress Richilde, was related to the Ahalolfinger family, but his name suggests that this may have been the case. The name of one of his brothers Worad suggests a family connection with Worad who was recorded in 782 (see the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY).

1. --- . m ROTRUD, daughter of --- (-after 4 Mar 828). Emperors Louis I and Lothar confirmed that “Vualdo abba monasterii...Svarzaha” had exchanged property with "Erkingarius comes ac genitrix et fratri sui Rotdrudis, Vuoradus, Bernaldus et Bernardus" by charter dated 4 Mar 828[18]. Four children:

a) ERCHANGER (-864). Emperors Louis I and Lothar confirmed that “Vualdo abba monasterii...Svarzaha” had exchanged property with "Erkingarius comes ac genitrix et fratri sui Rotdrudis, Vuoradus, Bernaldus et Bernardus" by charter dated 4 Mar 828[19]. An agreement between Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks and his brother Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks dated Jun 860 names "nobilis ac fidelibus laicis…Chuonradus, Evrardus, Adalardus, Arnustus, Warnarius, Liutfridus, Hruodolfus, Erkingarius, Gislebertus, Ratbodus, Arnulfus, Hugo, item Chuonradus, Liutharius, Berengarius, Matfridus, Boso, Sigeri, Hartmannus, Liuthardus, Richuinus, Wigricus, Hunfridus, Bernoldus, Hatto, Adalbertus, Burchardus, Christianus, Leutulfus, Hessi, Herimannus, item Hruodulfus, Sigehardus"[20]. The Annales Alamannicorum record "Erkingarius comes in Alamannia, pater primæ uxoris anonymæ Caroli Crassi" among those who swore allegiance in 864[21]. The Annales Weingartenses record the death in 864 of “Eberht, Liutolf, Erchanger, Liutfrid, Ruadolf, Purghart et alii quam plurimi istius regni Principes”[22]. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Erchanger’s wife has not been identified. Erchanger & his wife had [two] children:

i) RICHARDIS (-Abbey of Andlau, Alsace 18 Sep before [906/11]). The Annales Alamannicorum record "Erkingarius comes in Alamannia, pater primæ uxoris anonymæ Caroli Crassi"[23]. Abbess of Andlau in Alsace 887. At the time of their divorce, the couple both declared that the marriage had never been consummated. Regino names "Gozzelino eiusdem urbis [=Paris?] episcopo" in 887, recording that he left the church and married "Richardem sic enim Augusta vocabatur"[24]. m firstly (862, divorced 887) CHARLES, son of LUDWIG II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks & his wife Emma [Welf] (839-Neudingen an der Donau 13 Jan 888, bur Kloster Reichenau). He succeeded his father in 876 as KARL III King of the East Franks. He was crowned Emperor KARL III "le Gros" in 881. m secondly GAUZLIN ex-Bishop, son of ---.

ii) [---. If “neptis” in the charter quoted below can be interpreted in the strict sense of “niece”, one of the parents of Rotrud was the sibling of Richardis. However, as illustrated by numerous examples, the term could indicate a more remote family relationship. m ---.] One child:

(a) ROTRUD . "Hludouuicus…rex" confirmed donations of Empress Richgard by charter dated [900/09] which names "Ruuddrudis neptis sepe dicte imperatricis"[25]. The precise relationship is not known.

b) WORAD . Emperors Louis I and Lothar confirmed that “Vualdo abba monasterii...Svarzaha” had exchanged property with "Erkingarius comes ac genitrix et fratri sui Rotdrudis, Vuoradus, Bernaldus et Bernardus" by charter dated 4 Mar 828[26]. Conte di Verona.

d) BERNHARD . Emperors Louis I and Lothar confirmed that “Vualdo abba monasterii...Svarzaha” had exchanged property with "Erkingarius comes ac genitrix et fratri sui Rotdrudis, Vuoradus, Bernaldus et Bernardus" by charter dated 4 Mar 828[28].

Three siblings:

1. ERCHANGER (-executed 917). "Chuonradus…rex" granted property "in loco Munichinga in pago Chlethgeuue" to Kloster St Gallen by charter dated 11 Mar 912 at the request of "comitum quoque Erchangarii et Chuonradi, Odalrici, Hugonis"[29]. "Chuonradus…rex" made donations by charter dated 5 Mar 912 with the consent of "fidelium nostrorum comitum vero Sigihardi, Arnolfi, Erchangarii, Odalrici, Perchtoldi, Chuonradi, Herimanni, Luitfredi atque Iringi"[30], which shows that Erchanger was considered third in importance among the nobility in the realm at that time, assuming that the order of the names is of significance. Konrad I King of Germany granted property "in pago Ibfigeuue et in comitatu Ernusti comitis sitas…in locis Leimbah, Steinaha et Thiefbach" to the bishop of Freising at the request of "Erchangarii et Heinrici comitum" by charter dated 8 Aug 912[31]. Konrad I King of Germany granted property "in pago Lobotungouue in comitatu Liutfridi comitis" to the monk Sigulf of Heiligenberg, and after his death to Kloster Lorsch, at the request of "Erkangeri comitis ac…Erlolfi et Folnandi" by charter dated 23 Aug 912[32]. "Chuonradus…rex" granted property to Diotolf Bishop of Chur on the advice of "Erchangarii comitis palatii, Perahtoldi, Chuonradi, Henrici" by charter dated 25 Sep 912[33]. "Chuonradus…rex" confirmed privileges to Kloster Murbach by charter dated 12 Mar 913 with the consent of "fidelium nostrorum…Erchangarii, Chuonradi, Hugonis, Ottonis, Heinrici, Bopponis, Udalrici, Eberhardi"[34]. The Annales Alamannicorum record "discordiam inter regem et Erchangerum" in 913, but that he was among those who defeated the Hungarians and thereafter made peace with the king (confirmed by the latter's marriage to Erchanger's sister)[35]. He revolted against Konrad I King of Germany in 913/14, was acclaimed dux after the defeat of his rivals at Hohenaltheim in 916, but executed in 917[36]. Regino records in 917 "Erchanger et Berahtold decollantur"[37].

2. BERTHOLD (-executed 917). "Chuonradus…rex" made donations by charter dated 5 Mar 912 with the consent of "fidelium nostrorum comitum vero Sigihardi, Arnolfi, Erichangarii, Odalrici, Perchtoldi, Chuonradi, Herimanni, Luitfredi atque Iringi"[38]. The Annales Sangallenses record that "Erchanger et Perehtolt frater eius et Uadalricus comes" were among those who defeated the Hungarians in 913[39]. The Annales Alamannicorum record that "Erchanger, Perahtolt et Liutfrid" were killed in 916[40], without specifying the relationship between Erchanger and Berthold.

3. KUNIGUNDE (-after 7 Jun 914, bur Kloster Lorsch). Her two marriages are confirmed by the Annales Alamannicorum which record the marriage in 913 of "sororem [Erchangeri] Liupoldi relictam" with the king[41]. Her second husband arranged their marriage in an unsuccessful attempt to ally himself with her brother and with Arnulf Duke of Bavaria[42]. "Chuonradus…rex" granted rights to Kloster Lorsch by charter dated 7 Jun 914 which names "coniugis nostre Chunigunde regine"[43]. "Chuonradus…rex" confirmed grants of property "sue locum Ginga" to Kloster Lorsch by "coniux nostra Chunigund" by charter dated 8 Feb 915[44]. m firstly [as his second wife,] LIUTPOLD Markgraf [Luitpoldinger], son of --- (-killed in battle near Pressburg 4 Jul 907). m secondly (913) KONRAD I King of Germany, son of KONRAD Graf in der Wetterau und im Wormsgau, Markgraf in Thuringia [Konradiner] & his wife Glismut (-19 Oct 918, bur Fulda).

1. ERCHANGER (-after 7 Nov 921). A document dated 7 Nov 921 recording a meeting between Charles III "le Simple" King of France and Heinrich I King of Germany names "Matfredus, Erkengerus, Hagano, Boso, Waltherus, Isaac, Ragenberus, Theodricus, Adalardus, Adelelmus" as representatives of the former[45]. It is not known how Erchanger may have been related to the earlier counts of this name.

Chapter 3. GRAFEN im GRABFELD

A. Die "alten" BABENBERGER

Several different counts are recorded in pagus Grabfeld at the same time. There is no proof that they were all related. Their number indicates that Grabfeld was a geographically extensive pagus with several different comital centres. The documentation records a close connection between these counts and the monastery of Fulda, as can be seen in the details set out below. A charter of Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks dated 5 Feb 834 records that Fulda was located in "pago Grapfelt" although it does not name any of the counts[46].

According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Poppo [I] was the son of Heinrich, supposed son of Heimrich Graf im Oberrheingau und im Lahngau[47]. No primary source has been identified which confirms this parentage. It is suspected that the supposed relationship is speculative in order to link the alte Babenberger family to the Rotbertiner.

1. POPPO [I] . Graf [im Grabfeld]: "Popo comes" is named in the charter dated 4 Nov 819 under which "Reginolt" donated property "in pago Grapfeld in villa Nordheim et in pago Folcfeld…in pago Gozfeld…in pago…Weringeuue" to Fulda[48]. "Popponi comitis" subscribed the charter dated 23 Nov 819 under which "Albhart" donated property "in pago Grapfelde" to Fulda[49]. "Poppo comes" subscribed the charter dated 24 May 821 under which "Helmrih" donated property to Fulda[50]. "Poppo comes" donated property "in situa Bochonis…iuxta fluvium Lutraha…in pago Grapfeld" to Fulda by charter dated 1 Feb 826[51]. "Ludewicus…Romanorum imperator augustus" confirmed the donation of property "duas…villas ex beneficio Bopponis comites infra Boboniam quarum…Geismara et Borsaa" to Fulda by charter dated 27 Feb 839[52].

2. RATOLF (-after 15 Mar 838). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. "Ratolfi comitis, Hrabani filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 15 Mar 838 under which "Uualtpraht" donated property "in pago Grapfeld in villa Stetihaha" to Fulda[53]. m ---. The name of Ratolf's wife is not known. Ratolf & his wife had one child:

a) HRABAN (-after 15 Mar 838). "Ratolfi comitis, Hrabani filii eius" subscribed the charter dated 15 Mar 838 under which "Uualtpraht" donated property "in pago Grapfeld in villa Stetihaha" to Fulda[54].

There appears to be a large chronological gap between Poppo [I] and the three brothers Heinrich, Poppo and Egino. It appears wise therefore not to assume that the latter were sons of the former without further proof, although if they were not his sons no indication has been found to identify their father. Jackman suggests that he was Christian [I] Graf im Grabfeld, his son Christian [II] therefore being another brother[55]. However, if this is correct, it is surprising that the name Christian is not found among the descendants of the three brothers. Presumably Jackman bases this speculation on the common reference to Grabfeld. However, as noted above, there were several different families of counts who held countships in Grabfeld at the same time and it is not certain that they were all related to each other.

1. HEINRICH (-killed in battle Paris [before Sep] 886, bur St Médard at Soissons). The Annales Fuldenses names "Poppone fratre Henirico et Eginone comitibus"[56]. He was invested as Marquis en Neustrie in 886.

- see below.

2. POPPO [II] (-906 or after). The Annales Fuldenses record that "Sclavi…Dalmatii et Behemi atque Sorabi" invaded Thuringia in 880 and devastated the land around "Salam fluvium", in which battle "Poppo comes et dux Sorabici limitis" fought[57]. Duke in Thuringia. The Annales Fuldenses record "in Thuringia…quibus Poppo comes et dux Sorabici" campaigning in 880[58], and more specifically names "Poppone fratre Heinrico et Eginone comitibus", recording that he conquered "Thuringis inferior"[59]. The Annales Fuldenses records the civil war between Saxons and Thuringians in 882, through the machinations of "Poppone fratre Heinrici et Egninone comitibus" and Poppo's subsequent conquest of "Thuringis inferior"[60]. The Annales Fuldenses records a conflict in 883 between "Boppo et Egino comites et duces Thuringorum", in which Poppo was victorious[61]. "Gotesdeu" donated property "in pago Badnegewe in comitatu Eginonis…in pago Graphelt in comitatu Heinrici…loco Munrichestat" to Fulda by charter dated 16 Apr 887, signed by "Boppo comes"[62]. "Bobbo comes, Adalbraht, Bobbo filii eius…" witnessed an undated charter, placed with charters dated [887/89] in the cartulary, under which "Martinus" donated property "in pago Graphelde in Norchemero marca in comitatu Adalberti" to Fulda, with the consent of "sui domini Bobbonis"[63]. "Arnolfus…rex" donated property "in pago Uuormazfelda in comitatu Megingaudi…in villa Dechidestein" to Kloster Fulda on the proposal of "Pobbonis et Deotpoldi [comitum]" by charter dated 21 Jul 889[64]. "Arnolfus…rex" gave property "nuncupante Hruodeshof in pago Folchfelda in comitatu Ebonis" to "nostræ Fridarun" on the intervention of "Popbonis marchionis nostri" by charter dated 12 Jan 891[65]. The Annales Fuldenses records that "Poppo dux Thuringorum" was deprived of his honours in 891[66]. Regino specifies that his dukedom was given to "Chuonrado" and soon after to "Burchardo comitis"[67]. Ludwig "das Kind" King of Germany issued a charter relating to Kloster Fulda "in pago Folcfelda in comitatu Popponis" dated 29 Jun 906[68]. m [--- of Thuringia, daughter of THAKULF Duke in Thuringia & his wife ---. Jackman speculates that Poppo owed his dukedom in Thuringia to having married the daughter of Duke Thakulf, sister of Duke Radulf[69]. This is an interesting theory but it assumes that the principle of heredity played a part in the transfer of such titles, an issue which merits further study.] Duke Poppo [II] & his wife had [three] children:

a) ADALBERT (-after 915). "Bobbo comes, Adalbraht, Bobbo filii eius…" witnessed an undated charter, placed with charters dated [887/89] in the cartulary, under which "Martinus" donated property "in pago Graphelde in Norchemero marca in comitatu Adalberti" to Fulda, with the consent of "sui domini Bobbonis"[70]. Graf im Grabfeld and Tullfeld.

b) POPPO [III] (-945). "Bobbo comes, Adalbraht, Bobbo filii eius…" witnessed an undated charter, placed with charters dated [887/89] in the cartulary, under which "Martinus" donated property "in pago Graphelde in Norchemero marca in comitatu Adalberti" to Fulda, with the consent of "sui domini Bobbonis"[71]. Graf im Grabfeld und Tullfeld. "Chuonradus…rex" confirmed privileges to Kloster Murbach by charter dated 12 Mar 913 with the consent of "fidelium nostrorum…Erchangarii, Chuonradi, Hugonis, Ottonis, Heinrici, Bopponis, Udalrici, Eberhardi"[72]. Heinrich I King of Germany granted property "in Buochunna sitas…in pago Grapfeld in comitatu Bobbonis infra terminum Soresdorf…in loco Berahtoltestafta" to Kloster Fulda by charter dated 22 Jun 922[73]. "Heinricus…rex" confirmed rights of the bishopric of Würzburg to income from various properties at the suggestion of "presul Thioto…cum Bobbone comite" by charter dated 8 Apr 923[74]. "Otto…rex" granted privileges to Würzburg church relating to property "in Nordheimono marco…in pago Craffelda in comitatu Popponis" and of "Poppo comes noster" by charter dated 13 Dec 941[75]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[76], Graf Poppo [III] was the possible father of Graf Poppo [IV] and of Graf Otto [I] (-died after 982). The latter appears identical with "Otto Graf von Grabfeld", who has been identified by Jackman[77] as the son of Udo Graf in der Wetterau, im Rheingau und Lahngau [Konradiner].

c) [daughter . Patze suggests that the wife of Graf Wilhelm [I] was the daughter of Poppo [II] Duke of Thuringia, Graf im Volkfeld[78]. Jackman comments that "this is chronologically very unlikely"[79]. The source which provides the basis for this suggestion has not been identified, although her naming her supposed son Poppo suggests a connection. It should be noted that the sons of Poppo [II] were Grafen im Grabfeld (according to Europäische Stammtafeln[80]). The wife of Graf Wilhelm [I]'s possible son, Graf Wilhelm [II], was the daughter of Otto "Graf von Grabfeld". This suggests some possible confusion between the wives of the two Grafen Wilhelm. m WILHELM I Graf in Südthüringau, im Gau Usiti [Husitin] und im Helms- und Altgau [Weimar-Orlamünde], son of --- (-16 Apr 963).]

3. EGINO (-[886/87]). The Annales Fuldenses records the civil war between Saxons and Thuringians in 882, through the machinations of "Poppone fratre Heinrici et Egninone comitibus" and Poppo's subsequent conquest of "Thuringis inferior"[81]. The Annales Fuldenses records a conflict in 883 between "Boppo et Egino comites et duces Thuringorum", in which Poppo was victorious[82]. The necrology of Fulda records the death in 886 of "Egino com"[83]. "Gotesdeu" donated property "in pago Badnegewe in comitatu Eginonis…in pago Graphelt in comitatu Heinrici…loco Munrichestat" to Fulda by charter dated 16 Apr 887, signed by "Boppo comes"[84], which places some doubt on the date of death in the previous source. "Arnolfus…rex" granted property "ad Chrutheim in pagis Folcfeld et in Iffigeuue in comitatibus filiorum Heimrici et Eginonis" to "ministerialis…Epo" by charter dated 13 Mar 888[85].

HEINRICH, son of --- (-killed in battle Paris [before Sep] 886, bur St Médard at Soissons). The Annales Fuldenses names "Poppone fratre Henirico et Eginone comitibus"[86]. The Annales Fuldenses record that "Heinricum principum" led the army of Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks into Moravia in 866[87]. The Annales Fuldenses names "Henricum" as "principum militiæ suæ [=Hludowicus Hludowici regis filius]" and as "comitis vassalus" in 871[88]. The Annales Fuldenses records the victory of "Heinricus et Adalhartus" against "Thiotbaldo principe militiæ Hugonis" in 880[89]. The Annales Fuldenses records the civil war between Saxons and Thuringians in 882, through the machinations of "Poppone fratre Heinrici et Egninone comitibus" and Poppo's subsequent conquest of "Thuringis inferior"[90]. The Annales Fuldenses record that "Heinricus frater Popponis" fought the Vikings at "Prumiam" in 883[91]. He was invested as Marquis en Neustrie in 886 by Emperor Karl III "der Dicke", who was at that time briefly King of the West Franks, after the death of Hugues l'Abbé. Abbo's Bella Parisiciæ Urbis records the part played by "Saxonia vir Ainricus" at the siege of Paris in 886[92]. The Annales Fuldenses record that "Heinrico marchensi Francorum" who held Neustria was killed at the siege of Paris in 886[93]. The necrology of Fulda records the death "886 Kal Sep" of "Heinrih com"[94].

m BABA, daughter of --- (-after 864). The Annalista Saxo names Adalbert and his "pater Heinricus dux, mater Baba dicebatur"[95]. The primary source which confirms her name as Ingeltrudis has not yet been identified. Eckhardt suggests that Heinrich’s wife (whom he calls Ingeltrudis) was the daughter of Eberhard Marquis of Friulia & his wife Gisela [Carolingian], and therefore sister of Berengario I King of Italy[96]. This appears chronologically tight, although possible.

Heinrich & his wife had four children:

1. HEDWIG [Hathui] ([850/55]-24 Dec 903). "Hathwiga" is named as wife of Otto in the Annalista Saxo, which in an earlier passage records that Heinrich I King of Germany was the son of the sister of Adalbert [Babenberg][97]. Her birth date is estimated from the birth of her third son in 876. The necrology of Fulda records the death in 903 of "Hadwih com"[98]. The necrology of Merseburg records the death "24 Dec" of "Hathuui mater Heinrici regis"[99]. m OTTO "der Erlauchte" Graf im Sudthüringau und Eichsfeld, son of LIUDOLF [von Sachsen] & his wife Oda [Billung] (-30 Nov 912[100], bur Gandersheim Stiftskirche). He was chosen to succeed Ludwig "das Kind" [Carolingian] as king of Germany in 911 but, according to Widukind, he declined on the grounds of his advanced age and recommended the election of Konrad ex-Duke of the Franconians[101].

2. ADALBERT (-executed 9 Jun 906). The Annalista Saxo names Adalbert and his "pater Heinricus dux, mater Baba dicebatur", when recording his struggle with the Konradiner family[102]. Regino records "magna discordianum" between "Rodulfum episcopum Wirziburgensem" and "filios Heinrici ducis, Adalbertum, Adalhardum et Heinricum" in 897[103]. Regino records the war in 902 between "Adalbertus cum fratribus Adalhardo et Heinrico" against "Eberhardum et Gebehardum et Rodulfum fratres"[104]. Regino records that in 903 "Adalbertus Rodulfum episcopum Wiziburgensis ecclesia fugat"[105]. "Adalberti comitis" exchanged property with the abbot of Fulda by charter dated 26 Apr 903[106]. The Annales Alammanicorum record that in 903 "Adalbertus Chonradum bello occidit"[107]. The Annales Laubacenses record that in 906 "Adalbertus filius Heinrichi, ficta fide episcoporum deceptus, capite decollatus est"[108]. Graf. He was executed during the bitter quarrel between the Babenberger and Konradiner families, which marked the breaking of Babenberg power in central Germany[109]. m ---. The name of Adalbert's wife is not known. Adalbert & his wife had [one possible child]:

a) [HEINRICH (-[935]). According to Europäische Stammtafeln[110], Heinrich was the probable son of Adalbert or of one of Adalbert's brothers. This is supported by his being described as "propinquus noster" by Heinrich I King of Germany (see below), who was the son of Adalbert's sister Hedwig and would therefore have been Heinrich's first cousin if the relationship is correctly shown here. Konrad I King of Germany granted property "in pago Ibfigeuue et in comitatu Ernusti comitis sitas…in locis Leimbah, Steinaha et Thiefbach" to the bishop of Freising at the request of "Erchangarii et Heinrici comitum" by charter dated 8 Aug 912[111]. "Chuonradus…rex" granted property to Diotolf Bishop of Chur on the advice of "Erchangarii comitis palatii, Perahtoldi, Chuonradi, Henrici" by charter dated 25 Sep 912[112]. "Chuonradus…rex" confirmed privileges to Kloster Murbach by charter dated 12 Mar 913 with the consent of "fidelium nostrorum…Erchangarii, Chuonradi, Hugonis, Ottonis, Heinrici, Bopponis, Udalrici, Eberhardi"[113]. "Chuonradus…rex" granted property to Udalfrid Bishop of Eichstätt by charter dated 9 Sep 918 at the request of "Eberhardo et Heinricho comitibus"[114]. "Heinricus…rex" granted property to "in pago Hegouue in eodem comitatu…in loco Siginga" to "Baboni…comitis Burchardi vassallo" after consultation with "Burchardi, Ebarhardi, Chuonradi, Heinrici atque Utonis…comitum" by charter dated 30 Nov 920[115]. "Heinricus…rex" granted property to "ducis nostri Arnulfi vassallo Kerung" at the request of "comitis ac propinqui nostri Henrici" by charter dated 18 Oct 927[116]. This suggests that Heinrich was a Bavarian count, Arnulf being duke of Bavaria. "Henricus…rex" granted property "in pago Sueuia in comitatu…Sigifridi curtem…Groninga…et Croppensteti et Emmundorp" to "Sigifredo…comiti" at the request of "Henrici comitis" by charter dated 25 Jun 934[117].] m ---. The name of Heinrich's wife is not known. Heinrich & his wife had [three possible children[118]]:

i) [HEINRICH (-Rome 3 Jul 964). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Archbishop of Trier 956. The Continuator of Regino records the death in 956 from plague of “Ruodbertus archiepiscopus Treverensis et Hadamarus abbas Fuldensis” and the election “quibus Heinricus in episcopatu”[119]. The Gesta Treverorum records that "Heinricus" succeeded "Rutpertum" as archbishop of Trier[120]. The Gesta Treverorum records that "Heinricus episcopus" died "in Italia"[121]. The Continuator of Regino records the death in 964 from plague in Rome of “Heinricus archiepiscopus Treverensis”[122].]

ii) [POPPO (-15 Feb 961). Brother of Heinrich Archbishop of Trier. Chancellor of Germany 931/940. Bishop of Würzburg 941. The necrology of St Gall records the death "XV Kal Mar" of "Popponis Wirciburgensis ecclesie ep"[123].]

iii) [BERTHOLD (-15 Jan 980). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified, but as discussed in the document BAVARIA NOBILITY the connection must be speculative. Graf 941. Graf im Radenzgau 960. Graf an der unteren Naab 961. Graf im Volkfeld 973. Markgraf 976. Graf des Ostlichen Franken 980.]

3. ADALHARD (-executed 903). Regino records "magna discordianum" between "Rodulfum episcopum Wirziburgensem" and "filios Heinrici ducis, Adalbertum, Adalhardum et Heinricum" in 897[124]. Regino records the war between "Adalbertus cum fratribus Adalhardo et Heinrico" against "Eberhardum et Gebehardum et Rodulfum fratres", specifying that "Adalhardus captor…est"[125]. The Annales Alammanicorum record that in 900 "Adalhart et Heimrich frater eius et Eberhardius bello occisi sunt"[126].

4. HEINRICH (-killed in battle [902/03]). Regino records "magna discordianum" between "Rodulfum episcopum Wirziburgensem" and "filios Heinrici ducis, Adalbertum, Adalhardum et Heinricum" in 897[127]. Regino records the war between "Adalbertus cum fratribus Adalhardo et Heinrico" against "Eberhardum et Gebehardum et Rodulfum fratres", specifying that "Heinrich interfectus…est"[128]. The Annales Alammanicorum record that in 900 "Adalhart et Heimrich frater eius et Eberhardius bello occisi sunt"[129].

1. OTTO (-[983/85]). According to Europäische Stammtafeln[130], Otto was the possible son of Poppo [III] Graf im Grabfeld und Tullfeld, but the source on which this is based has not been identified. Jackman suggests that he was the same person as Otto, son of Graf Udo [Konradiner][131], but this theory is intertwined with his other theory concerning the affiliation of Graf Heribert, father of Otto von Hammerstein. "Otto…rex" granted property "villam Northeim in pago Salzgowe in comitatu Ottonis comitis" to Kloster Fulda by undated charter placed in the compilation with other charters dated in early 951[132]. Graf im Grabfeld. m ---. The name of Otto's wife is not known. Otto & his wife had [one child]:

a) [daughter . The name of Graf Wilhelm [II]'s wife is not known. Jackman suggests[133], for onomastic reasons only it appears, that she was the daughter of Otto Graf von Grabfeld, his assumption being that the latter was a Konradiner. m WILHELM II "der Grosse" Graf von Weimar, son of [WILHELM I Graf in Südthüringau, im Helms- und Altgau & his wife ---] (-24 Dec 1003, bur Naumburg).]

2. GEBHARD (-982). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. The necrology of Fulda records the death in 982 of "Gebehart com"[134].

3. OTTO (-27 May 1010). Graf im Grabfeld. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[135], Graf Otto was the father of Poppo Graf von Henneberg and his brother Godebold Burggraf von Würzburg (ancestor of the later Grafen von Henneberg). It appears that this is based on onomastic reasons, as the same source states that Graf Otto's male line great grandfather was possibly Poppo [II] Markgraf der Sorbenmark, Graf im Volkfeld ("alte" Babenberger). If this descent is incorrect, it is assumed that there is no further basis for the suggestion. The necrology of Fulda records the death "1010 VI Kal Iun" of "Otto com"[136].

4. HERMANN (-killed in battle Marabolt 13 Jul 995). Graf von Leinegau. The necrology of Fulda records the death "995 III Id Iul" of "Heriman com occisus est Marabolt"[137].

B. FAMILY of GRAF CHRISTIAN

The individuals in the following proposed family sub-group are linked by common references in charters which record donations to Fulda. Christian [I] and Burkhard are shown as counts in Grabfeld, although Burkhard is also recorded as count in "pagis Dreini et Boroctra" assuming that the reference is to the same person. Burkhard and Hesso [II] subscribed one of the charters of Christian [I]. Christian [I] and Hesso [II] are referred to in a royal diploma relating to Fulda, which also introduces Liutolf into the group. Hesso [II] could be linked with Hesso [I], who is listed among the group of Saxon nobility. The latter is recorded as one of the Saxon counts who fought Charles I King of the Franks during the latter part of the 8^th century and is also linked in the documentation with Fulda.

Three probable brothers:

1. BURKHARD (-after 23 Feb 866). "Burgrat comes" donated property "in pago Grapfeld in…Buchonia villam…Motten" to Fulda by charter dated 13 Aug 837[138]. "Cristan [comes]" donated property "in provincia Grapfeldorum…in villa Iuchisa" to Fulda by charter dated 27 Jun 857, signed by "Christani comitis…Hesses comitis, Burgharti comitis"[139]. He may be the same Burkhard whose county is referred to in the charter dated 13 Jun 858 under which "Ludowicus…rex" granted property to Kloster Herford "in pagis Dreini et Boroctra…in comitatibus Burchardi et Warini…in Seliheim et in Stocheim"[140]. He may also be the same Burkhard whose county is referred to in the charter dated 25 Apr 859 under which "Ludowicus…rex" granted property to Fulda "in pagis Grainga et Threcwiti…et in comitatibus Burchardi, Waltberti et Albrici atque Letti"[141]. An agreement between Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks and his brother Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of Germany dated Jun 860 names "nobilis ac fidelibus laicis…Chuonradus, Evrardus, Adalardus, Arnustus, Warnarius, Liutfridus, Hruodolfus, Erkingarius, Gislebertus, Ratbodus, Arnulfus, Hugo, item Chuonradus, Liutharius, Berengarius, Matfridus, Boso, Sigeri, Hartmannus, Liuthardus, Richuinus, Wigricus, Hunfridus, Bernoldus, Hatto, Adalbertus, Burchardus, Christianus, Leutulfus, Hessi, Herimannus, item Hruodulfus, Sigehardus"[142]. The appearance of the names "…Burchardus, Christianus, Leutulfus…" in sequence in this document supports the theory that the three were brothers. "Nordman" donated property "in provincia Crapfeldoue" to Fulda by charter dated 23 Feb 866 which names "quondam dominus meus Hessi comes" and is subscribed by "Burgharti comitis"[143]. Posse suggests that his presence in Grabfeld suggests a family connection with Burkhard Duke of Thuringia, who was named in a 9 Jul 908 charter also connected with Grabfeld[144], see the document THURINGIA-Chapter 1, Early Dukes.

2. CHRISTIAN [I] (-18 Feb 871). "Cristan [comes]" donated property "in provincia Grapfeldorum…in villa Iuchisa" to Fulda by charter dated 27 Jun 857, signed by "Christani comitis…Hesses comitis, Burgharti comitis"[145]. Ludwig "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks confirmed rights of "Lutolfo, Cristano et Hessoni comitibus" relating to Kloster Fulda by an undated charter, with charters dated 849 in the compilation[146]. An agreement between Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks and his brother Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of Germany dated Jun 860 names "nobilis ac fidelibus laicis…Chuonradus, Evrardus, Adalardus, Arnustus, Warnarius, Liutfridus, Hruodolfus, Erkingarius, Gislebertus, Ratbodus, Arnulfus, Hugo, item Chuonradus, Liutharius, Berengarius, Matfridus, Boso, Sigeri, Hartmannus, Liuthardus, Richuinus, Wigricus, Hunfridus, Bernoldus, Hatto, Adalbertus, Burchardus, Christianus, Leutulfus, Hessi, Herimannus, item Hruodulfus, Sigehardus"[147]. The appearance of the names "…Burchardus, Christianus, Leutulfus…" in sequence in this document supports the theory that the three were brothers. Ludwig "der Deutsche" King of Germany granted property to "comes…Cristianus" by charter dated 8 Jul 861[148]. He is probably "Christianus comes" who agreed an exchange of land in Wachenheim and Schifferstadt "in pago Spirense" with Gebhard Bishop of Speyer, confirmed by charter of Ludwig "der Deutsche" King of Germany dated 25 May 868[149]. The necrology of Fulda records the death "871 12 Kal Mar" of "Cristan comes"[150]. m HEILWIG, daughter of ---. "Ludowicus…rex" confirmed possession by "Cristiano comiti et uxori eius…Heilwih" of their foundation Kloster Rohr and made donations of property "quod suus genitor ei hereditavit…in pago Grabfeld…in loco Cristaneshusen" by an undated charter, placed in the compilation among charters dated [868/70][151]. Christian [I] & his wife had [one probable child]:

a) [CHRISTIAN [II] (-[876/86]). "Cunihilt" donated property "in pago Grapfelde in comitatu Kristani comitis" to Fulda by charter dated 874, signed by "Kristani comitis"[152]. "Elli, Ermenolt et Bald" donated property "in pago Grapfeldo in comitatu Kristani comitis" to Fulda by charter dated 14 Feb 876[153]. "Kristan comes…" is named with Liutbert Archbishop of Mainz in a charter dated 18 May 876 which records the settlement of a dispute between the archbishop and Sigihard Abbot of Fulda[154]. "Adalgardi comitis, Erinfridi comitis, Cristiani comitis" signed the charter dated 1 Oct 877 under which "Liutharius" donated property "in pago Lobodense in villare Husa…Sahssenheim…" to Lorsch[155]. None of these documents prove that Christian [II] was the son of Christian [I], but this looks probable. m ---. The name of Christian's wife is not known. Christian [II] & his wife had [one possible child]:

i) [HEINRICH (-after 16 Apr 887). "Gotesdeu" donated property "in pago Badnegewe in comitatu Eginonis…in pago Graphelt in comitatu Heinrici…loco Munrichestat" to Fulda by charter dated 16 Apr 887, signed by "Boppo comes"[156]. It is possible that Heinrich was related to the Alten Babenberger family, as both "Egino" and "Boppo", also named in the document, appear to have belonged to that family.]

3. LIUDOLF [Liutolf] (-[864]). "Ludowicus…rex" confirmed rights of "Lutolfo, Cristano et Hessoni comitibus" relating to Kloster Fulda by an undated charter, with charters dated 849 in the compilation[157]. An agreement between Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks and his brother Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of Germany dated Jun 860 names "nobilis ac fidelibus laicis…Chuonradus, Evrardus, Adalardus, Arnustus, Warnarius, Liutfridus, Hruodolfus, Erkingarius, Gislebertus, Ratbodus, Arnulfus, Hugo, item Chuonradus, Liutharius, Berengarius, Matfridus, Boso, Sigeri, Hartmannus, Liuthardus, Richuinus, Wigricus, Hunfridus, Bernoldus, Hatto, Adalbertus, Burchardus, Christianus, Leutulfus, Hessi, Herimannus, item Hruodulfus, Sigehardus"[158]. The appearance of the names "…Burchardus, Christianus, Leutulfus…" in sequence in this document supports the theory that the three were brothers. The Annales Weingartenses record the death in 864 of “Eberht, Liutolf, Erchanger, Liutfrid, Ruadolf, Purghart et alii quam plurimi istius regni Principes”[159].

Chapter 4. GRAFEN im LAHNGAU (KONRADINER)

This family, of Frankish origin, established a strong position in Franconia during the reign of Ludwig IV "das Kind" King of the East Franks. They eliminated their closest rivals the Babenberger family in 906. The succession of a member of this family to the German throne was seen as the obvious choice after the death without heirs of King Ludwig IV[160]. As will be seen in the analysis set out below, many of the family relationships in this family are speculative, based on the onomastic theories of Jackman.

UDO, son of GEBHARD Graf im Niederlahngau & his wife ---. Graf im Lahngau. 860/879.

m ---. The identity of Udo's wife is not known with certainty. According to Jackman[161], she may have been [Judith], daughter of Konrad Graf im Linz- und Argengau. King Arnulf in a charter dated 19 May 891 names "Chonradi…comitis et nepotis nostri"[162]. The speculation is that the relationship may have been through Konrad's mother who, if identified as the daughter of Konrad Graf im Linz- under Argengau, was the niece of King Arnulf's paternal grandmother Queen Hemma. However, an interesting puzzle is highlighted by the charter dated 10 Feb 910 under which "Hludouuicus…rex" confirmed the foundation of St Georg at Limburg-an-der-Lahn at the request of "Chuonrati ducis et fidelis neptis nostri, cuidam Chuonrato…comiti nostro filio Eberhardi in pago Loganahe in suo comitatu"[163]. "Chuonrati ducis et fidelis neptis nostri…" in this document is identified as the future Konrad I King of Germany, and therefore the son of Konrad who is named in the 891 charter. The two documents are therefore consistent in this respect when both are described as "nepotis" of King Arnulf and King Ludwig IV. However, "…cuidam Chuonrato…comiti nostro filio Eberhardi" is identified as Konrad "Kurzbold", son of Eberhard (killed in [902/03]) who is identified in other sources (as explained below) as the brother of the senior Konrad who is named in the 891 charter. The problem is that Konrad "Kurzbold" is not identified, either in the 910 charter or in other documentation in which he is named, as "nepos" of either of the Carolingian monarchs. One explanation could be that Konrad and Eberhard were born from different marriages of their father.

Udo & his wife had [four possible] children[164], who as shown below are confirmed as brothers in primary sources none of which mentions their parentage:

1. KONRAD ([845/60]-killed in battle near Fritzlar 27 Feb 906, bur Weilburg Martinskirche). Regino names "Chuonradus senior [et] frater eius Gebehardus", specifying that Konrad resided in Hessen at Friedeslar[165]. His birth date range is estimated from other estimated birth date ranges of members of the family and the known dates of Konrad's own career. Graf im Oberlahngau 886. "Arnolfus…rex" granted property "in comitatu Nordgauensis…in villa Yebinesheim" to the church of Speyer at the request of "Chuonradi comitis ministerialisque" by charter dated 3 Feb 891[166]. Regino specifies that the dukedom of "Boppo dux Thuringorum" was given to "Chuonrado" in 892 and soon after to "Burchardo comitis"[167]. "Conradum, patrem Conradi postea regis" is named in the Annalista Saxo, when recording his quarrel with Adalbert [Babenberg] and Heinrich of Saxony[168]. The Annales Alammanicorum record that in 903 "Adalbertus Chonradum bello occidit"[169]. Graf im Hessengau 897. "Adelbero…Augustensis ecclesiæ…præsul" donated property to Lorsch "in pago Rinigouue in comitatum Gebehardi" by charter dated 20 May [896/99], signed by "Cunrado, Walahone, Gebehardo, Ruperto, Liutfrido, Burkardo, Dragebodo comitibus"[170]. Graf im Gotzfeldgau 903: "Hludowicus…rex" confirmed privileges to the bishopric of Würzburg by charter dated 9 Jul 903 at the request (among others) of "comitum…Chonrati…" and which related to property "in pago Cozfelda in comitatu Chonrati"[171]. "Hludowicus…rex" confirmed property of Stift Kaiserswerth naming "Cuonrat…propinquus noster et abba cœnobii sancti Suithberti" at the request of "comitum…Cuonrati…et Gebeharti" by charter dated 3 Aug 904[172]. A charter dated 14 Jun 904 records an agreement between Hatto Archbishop of Mainz and the abbot of Riamnis "in manum…suique advocate Burkardi…comitis" relating to property "in locis Wilheim, Pisinga et Vosinga", signed by "Adelbertus comes, Arnolfus comes, Cunradus comes, Erinfridus comes, Liutfridus comes"[173]. Graf in der Wetterau 905. Graf im Wormsgau 906: "Hludowicus…rex" confirmed property of the church of Worms including "res in pago Wormazfelde in comitatu Kuonrati" which "comes Gebehartus" held, by charter dated 2 Sep 906[174]. Regino records that "Chuonradus comes" sent "filium suum Chuonradum" against "Gerardum et fratrem eius Matfridum" in 906[175]. Markgraf in Thuringia[176]. Regino records the death in battle "906 III Kal Mar" of "Chuonradus senior" and his burial "in castello Wileneburch" by "filii cum matre" (without naming them)[177]. m GLISMOD, daughter of --- (-26 Apr 924). "Chuonradus…rex" made a donation of property "in pago Husitin et in comitatu Bardonis…curtem Dribura…et in pago Loganacgouue…in comitatu Ottonis fratris nostri" to Kloster Fulda on the intervention of "genitricis nostræ Glismodæ" by charter dated 1 Jul 912[178]. Jackman speculates[179] that Glismod must have been related to the earlier dukes in Thuringia, which would have given her husband a hereditary claim to the dukedom which he held briefly, postulating that she was the daughter of a sister of Duke Thakulf[180]. This assumes the grant depended on some hereditary right and was not merely a reward for personal service. The Annales Necrologici Fuldenses record the death "VI Kal Mai 924" of "Glismuot com"[181]. Graf Konrad & his wife had [four] children:

a) KONRAD ([875/85]-19 Oct or 23 Dec 918, bur Fulda). Regino records that "Chuonradus comes" sent "filium suum Chuonradum" against "Gerardum et fratrem eius Matfridum" in 906[182]. Graf im Hessengau 908: "Hludowicus…rex" granted property to Kloster Hersfeld built "in pago Hassionum in comitatu Chuonrati" by charter dated 17 Dec 908[183]. "Hludowicus…rex" granted property to the church of Salzburg by charter dated 17 Dec 908 which names "Chonradi comitis nostri atque propinqui"[184]. "Hludouuicus…rex" confirmed the foundation of St Georg at Limburg-an-der-Lahn at the request of "Chuonrati ducis et fidelis neptis nostri, cuidam Chuonrato…comiti nostro filio Eberhardi in pago Loganahe in suo comitatu" by charter dated 10 Feb 910[185]. Graf im Keldachgau 910: "Hludowicus…rex" granted property to "presbitero Foldger" at the request of "Chuonradus comes ac propinquus noster…in pago Keldocense in comitatu ipsius Chuonradi" by charter dated 26 Jul 910[186]. "Hludowicus…rex" granted property to "presbitero Gozbold" at the request of "Chuonradi et Eberhardi comitum" by charter dated 16 Jun 911[187]. He was elected KONRAD I King of Germany at Forchheim [7/10] Nov 911, with support from "Franks, Saxons, Alemans and Bavarians"[188]. He was opposed by his brother-in-law Erchanger who rebelled in 915, and by Arnulf Duke of Bavaria[189]. He was wounded on an expedition against Duke Arnulf, which led to his death[190]. On his deathbed he nominated Heinrich of Saxony as his successor as king of Germany[191]. The necrology of Fulda records the death in 918 of "Cuonradus rex"[192]. Regino records the death of "Chuonradus rex" in 919 and his burial in Fulda monastery[193]. The necrology of St Gall records the death "X Kal Jan" of "Chuonradi regis"[194]. Thietmar records his death on 19 Oct, and his "funeral obsequies…at Weilburg"[195]. The Annalista Saxo records that "sepultus est in civitate sua Wilinaburh"[196]. m (before 7 Jun 914) as her second husband, KUNIGUNDE, widow of LIUTPOLD Markgraf [Liutpoldinger], sister of Graf ERCHANGER [Ahalolfinger] (bur Kloster Lorsch). Her two marriages are confirmed by the Annales Alamannicorum which record the marriage in 913 of "sororem [Erchangeri] Liupoldi relictam" with the king[197]. Her second husband arranged their marriage in an unsuccessful attempt to ally himself with her brother and with Arnulf Duke of Bavaria[198]. "Chuonradus…rex" granted rights to Kloster Lorsch by charter dated 7 Jun 914 which names "coniugis nostre Chunigunde regine"[199]. "Chuonradus…rex" confirmed grants of property "sue locum Ginga" to Kloster Lorsch by "coniux nostra Chunigund" by charter dated 8 Feb 915[200].

b) EBERHARD (-killed in battle near Andernach 23 Oct 939). The Chronicon Laureshamense records a declaration of "Chuonradus rex" dated "914 VII Id Iun apud Franchonfort" relating to the freedom of election of abbots in which he names "Eberhardi marchionis fratris nostri"[201]. Widukind names "Evurhardus frater regis"[202]. Thietmar also names Eberhard as brother of King Konrad, when recording that the latter recommended that he support the election of the future King Heinrich I on his deathbed[203]. Lay Abbot of St Maximin at Trier 909. "Hludowicus…rex" granted property to "presbitero Gozbold" at the request of "Chuonradi et Eberhardi comitum" by charter dated 16 Jun 911[204]. "Chuonradus…rex" donated property "in Turgeuue cirtem…Vuihare et in Alpegeuue locum…Sueininga…et in pago Para curtem…Oberendorf" to Kloster St Gallen on the intervention of "Eburhardique germani fratris nostri" by charter dated 14 Mar 912[205]. "Chuonradus…rex" confirmed privileges to Kloster Murbach by charter dated 12 Mar 913 with the consent of "fidelium nostrorum…Erchangarii, Chuonradi, Hugonis, Ottonis, Heinrici, Bopponis, Udalrici, Eberhardi"[206]. Graf im Hessen und Perfgau 913. Graf im Oberlahngau 913 and 928. Markgraf 914: "Chuonradus…rex" granted property "villa Bercheim in comitatu Eberhardi in pago Tuonahgouue" to "capellano Reginolf" by charter dated 4 May 916[207]. "Chuonradus…rex" granted rights to Kloster Lorsch by charter dated 7 Jun 914 which names "coniugis nostre Chunigunde regine"[208]. Duke of Franconia. "Chuonradus…rex" granted property to Udalfrid Bishop of Eichstätt by charter dated 9 Sep 918 at the request of "Eberhardo et Heinricho comitibus"[209]. He submitted to Heinrich I King of Germany, elected in 919 to succeed his deceased brother[210]. "Heinricus…rex" granted property to "in pago Hegouue in eodem comitatu…in loco Siginga" to "Baboni…comitis Burchardi vassallo" after consultation with "Burchardi, Ebarhardi, Chuonradi, Heinrici atque Utonis…comitum" by charter dated 30 Nov 920[211]. A document dated 7 Nov 921 recording a meeting between Charles III "le Simple" King of France and Heinrich I King of Germany names "Evrardus, Chonradus, Herimannus, Hato, Godefredus, Otto, Herimannus, Cobbo, Magenhardus, Fridericus, Foldac" as representatives of the latter[212]. Truchsess 936. Pfalzgraf 938. He rebelled against Otto I "der Große" King of Germany in 938, seized Hellmern, and captured Heinrich, the king's brother, for which he was imprisoned at Hildesheim[213]. He was killed by his cousins, the brothers Hermann I Duke of Swabia and Udo[214]. Regino records that "Eberhardus" was sent into exile in 939 and killed[215]. The necrology of Fulda records the death in 939 of "Eburhart dux"[216]. [m ---. Jackman speculates[217] that Eberhard married (after Jun 910), as her third husband, Oda von Sachsen, widow firstly of Zwentibold King of Lotharingia [Carolingian] and secondly of Graf Gerhard [Matfriede], daughter of Otto “des Erlauchten” Duke [of Saxony] & his wife Hedwig (-2 Jul after 952), for onomastic reasons as the name of Eberhard's supposed daughter (her affiliation also being based only on his own separate onomastic hypothesis) was that of Oda's maternal grandmother. This is an interesting theory but it accumulates one onomastic hypothesis on another and must be considered highly speculative.]

c) OTTO (-after 918). "Chuonradus…rex" made a donation of property "in pago Husitin et in comitatu Bardonis…curtem Dribura…et in pago Loganacgouue…in comitatu Ottonis fratris nostri" to Kloster Fulda on the intervention of "genitricis nostræ Glismodæ" by charter dated 1 Jul 912[218]. Graf im Ruhrgau. Graf an der mittleren Lahn 912: "Chuonradus…rex" granted property "in pago Logenahe in comitatu Ottonis germani nostri…curtem Reltenbach" to the convent at Weilburg by charter dated 28 Nov 912[219].

d) [daughter . Her family connection and marriage are indicated by Widukind who names "Burghardum quoque et Bardonem, quorum alter gener regis erat", when recording the efforts of “Henrici” [the future Heinrich I King of Germany?] to expel them from “Saxonia vel Thuringorum terra” [dated to [913]?][220]. They are also indicated by the following document: “Burchardus comes” donated property to Bonn St Cassius, for the souls of “meæ...parentumque meorum atque...fratris mei Kunradi Francorum...regis”, at the request of “Waldolfi prepositi”, by charter dated to [911/18][221]. m BURKHARD, son of BURKHARD dux in Thuringia & his wife ---.]

2. EBERHARD (-killed in battle near Bamberg [902/903]). Regino records the war in 902 between "Adalbertus cum fratribus Adalhardo et Heinrico" against "Eberhardum et Gebehardum et Rodulfum fratres", specifying that "Eberhardis multis vulneribus in prœlio occidit"[222]. The Annales Alammanicorum record that in 900 "Adalhart et Heimrich frater eius et Eberhardius bello occisi sunt"[223]. Graf im Niederlahngau. Graf in der Ortenau 888. m [WILTRUD], daughter of ---. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[224], the wife of Eberhard may have been Wiltrud, daughter of [Walacho & his wife ---]. Presumably her name is deduced from the charter dated 933 under which "Wiltrud mater Cunradi cum manu eiusdem filii sui" donated "omnem decimationem in Dissermark et in Brubechermark et in Lonstein" to "monasterium…Marcellini et Petri…situm in superiori Mulnheim…Selgenstat nuncupatur"[225]. This charter does not described Konrad as "comes". However, a summary of donations to Kloster Bleidenstatt includes the donation by "Cunradus comes" on the death of "matris sue" of property "domo in qua Huwart vinitor habitat", undated[226]. This latter document does not name Konrad´s mother, but the suggestion is that Konrad may have been the same person as Konrad son of Wiltrud, on the assumption that the properties donated were in the same geographical area. The basis for suggesting that Walacho was Wiltrud´s father is not known. It may be related to the charter dated 5 Feb 902 under which Ludwig IV "das Kind" King of Germany donated property "in pago Spiricovue in comitatu Walahonis in villa…Hasalach" to Kloster Weissenburg at the request of "Chuonrati et Purcharti comitum"[227]. "Purcharti" was presumably Walacho´s son named Burkhard. It is possible that "Chuonrati" was Walacho´s grandson, son of his daughter Wiltrud, although if this is correct it is unclear why Konrad´s name should have preceded Burkhard´s in the document. Another possibility is that “Chuonrati” in the 5 Feb 902 document was Eberhard’s brother who may have represented the deceased Eberhard’s minor children. Eberhard & his wife had three children:

a) KONRAD "Kurzbold" ([885/90]-30 Jun 948, bur Limburg St Georg). "Hludouuicus…rex" gave property "in pago Loganahe…Brichene" to "Chuonrato…comiti nostro filio Eberhardi" in connection with the foundation of St Georg at Limburg-an-der-Lahn by charter dated 10 Feb 910 which also names "Chuonrati…ducis et…nepotem nostri"[228]. Widukind names "Conradi Evurhardi filii"[229]. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that he was a young adult when he was granted property in 910. Graf im Wormsgau 907: "Hludouuicus…rex" gave property "in pago Wormatiense in comitatu Cunradi in villa…Dienenheim" to the monk Sigolf at Lorsch by charter dated 22 Oct 907[230]. Graf im Unterlahngau, when he founded St Georg at Limburg in 910 (see charter quoted above). "Chuonradus…rex" granted property "in loco Munichinga in pago Chlethgeuue" to Kloster St Gallen by charter dated 11 Mar 912 at the request of "comitum quoque Erchangarii et Chuonradi, Odalrici, Hugonis"[231]. "Chuonradus…rex" made donations by charter dated 5 Mar 912 with the consent of "fidelium nostrorum comitum vero Sigihardi, Arnolfi, Erichangarii, Odalrici, Perchtoldi, Chuonradi, Herimanni, Luitfredi atque Iringi"[232]. "Chuonradus…rex" granted property to Diotolf Bishop of Chur on the advice of "Erchangarii comitis palatii, Perahtoldi, Chuonradi, Henrici" by charter dated 25 Sep 912[233]. "Chuonradus…rex" confirmed privileges to Kloster Murbach by charter dated 12 Mar 913 with the consent of "fidelium nostrorum…Erchangarii, Chuonradi, Hugonis, Ottonis, Heinrici, Bopponis, Udalrici, Eberhardi"[234]. "Heinricus…rex" granted property to "in pago Hegouue in eodem comitatu…in loco Siginga" to "Baboni…comitis Burchardi vassallo" after consultation with "Burchardi, Ebarhardi, Chuonradi, Heinrici atque Utonis…comitum" by charter dated 30 Nov 920[235]. Graf im Ahregau 927. "Alfuuinus ac…coniux mea Ada" donated property "…in pago Achgouue…in comitatu Kuonradi comitis in villa Blitgeresuuilere…" to the Ursulastift in Köln by charter dated 12 Mar 927, signed by "…Euerhardi comitis, Adalhardi comitis…"[236]. Graf im Wormsgau 932: "Henricus…rex" granted property "in Triburi in pago Engilia in comitatu Megenwardi [et] in Istat in pago Nabelgowe in comitatu Meginwardi eiusdem et in Merseburc in pago Hosgowe in comitatu Sigifridi" to Kloster Fulda in exchange for property "in Abunheim in pago Warmazgowe in comitatu Chunradi" by charter dated 3 Jun 932[237]. ["Wiltrud mater Cunradi cum manu eiusdem filii sui" donated "omnem decimationem in Dissermark et in Brubechermark et in Lonstein" to "monasterium…Marcellini et Petri…situm in superiori Mulnheim…Selgenstat nuncupatur" by charter dated 933[238]. This donation was confirmed by Heinrich II King of Germany by a charter dated 30 Jan [1012/13] which relates to the donation to Kloster Seligenstatt by "matrone Wildrudis et Conradi filii sui" of "omnem decimationem suam…in Dissermark et in Brubechermark et in Lonsteyn"[239].] "Otto…rex" donated "Meriske [Mörsch] in pago Vfgowe in comitatu Gebehardi" to the church of Speier "Baboni eiusdem comitis Burchardi vassallo in pago Hegouue" by charter dated 12 Feb 940 at the request of "Chuonradi…comitis nostri"[240]. "Otto…rex" granted property "prædium quale Eburhardus comes in loco Ubitisheim in pago Logenahe" to the church of Limburg St Georg at the request of "Chuonradi comitis" by charter dated 20 Apr 940[241]. "Otto…rex" granted property "in pago Blesensi…et in pago Salnense et…infra civitatem Mettis…et in pago Bettense" to Kloster St Maximin Trier at the request of "germani nostri Heinrici…et Chuonradi comitis" by charter dated 3 Jun 940[242]. Wichfrid Archbishop of Köln donated property "in villa vel marka…Engilestat…in pago Wormacensi in comitatu Kuonradi" to the Ursulastift in Köln by charter dated 23 Nov 941[243]. "Otto…rex" granted protection to Kloster Limburg founded by "comes…Cuonradus…in castello sue proprietatis Lintburc" by charter dated 2 Jun 942[244]. Graf im Nahegau 942: "Otto…rex" granted property "Niuunchirika…in pago Nahgouue in forastre Wasogo in comitatu…Cunradi" to Bishop Richgowe at the request of "Cunradi comitis" by charter dated 22 Oct 942[245]. "Otto…rex" donated property "in forasto…Lutara…in pago Nahgouue…in comitatu Cuonradi" to "fideli nostro Franco" at the request of "ducis…Cuonradi" by charter dated 17 Dec 945[246]. "Otto…rex" confirmed the immunities of Kloster Essen including over land "excepta in loco Ruoldinghus quam Eggihart et eius coniunx Rikilt" possessed by hereditary right and in land "in comitatu Ecberti et Cobbonis" by charter dated 15 Jan 947, signed by "Heinrici fratris regis, Herimanni ducis, Cuonradi comitis, Erenfridi comitis, Gebehardi comitis, Ekkihardi comitis, Hugonis comitis"[247]. Graf im Lobdengau 948: "Otto…rex" granted property "in villa Hemmingersbach…in pago Rinecgouue in comitatu Vdonis comitis…in pago Lobotengouue in comitatu Cunradi comitis" to "clerico Liuthere" by charter dated 28 Feb 948[248]. Regino records the death in 948 of "Chuonradus comes filius Eberhardi"[249].

b) GEBHARD (-after 15 Jan 947). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Graf im Ufgau 940: "Otto…rex" donated "Meriske [Mörsch] in pago Vfgowe in comitatu Gebehardi" to the church of Speier "Baboni eiusdem comitis Burchardi vassallo in pago Hegouue" by charter dated 12 Feb 940 at the request of "Chuonradi…comitis nostri"[250]. "Otto…rex" confirmed the immunities of Kloster Essen including over land "excepta in loco Ruoldinghus quam Eggihart et eius coniunx Rikilt" possessed by hereditary right and in land "in comitatu Ecberti et Cobbonis" by charter dated 15 Jan 947, signed by "Heinrici fratris regis, Herimanni ducis, Cuonradi comitis, Erenfridi comitis, Gebehardi comitis, Ekkihardi comitis, Hugonis comitis"[251]. m [ADELA], daughter of ---. Graf Gebhard's wife is not named explicitly in the sources so far consulted. However, an "Adela" is named in a name-list in the Reichenau memorial book dated [926/32] which appears to include members of the Konradiner family, Jackman suggesting that she is well placed in the list to be Graf Gebhard's wife[252], although this is not the only possible interpretation. Jackman suggests[253] that she was [Adela] de Vermandois, daughter of Héribert [I] Comte de Vermandois, although based solely only on onomastic grounds. Graf Gebhard & his wife had one child:

i) KONRAD [Kuno] ([915/20]-26 Apr 982). Regino records that in 950 "Chuonradis filius Gebehardis comitis quoniam cum quadem nepte regis se concubuisse sibi imposuit, a quodam Burchardo Saxone monomachia victus, fefellise patuit"[254]. His birth date range is estimated for consistency with the careers of the other known members of his family. Thietmar records that "a certain Cono defamed the emperor's daughter Conrad's wife and claimed that she had secretly become his wife", but that he lost his right hand in the duel with "Count Burchard" which resulted[255]. It has been assumed that "Cono" should be identified with Konrad son of Gebhard. Vogt von Schwarzach. Graf im Lobdengau: "Otto…rex" granted property to Worms St Peter, among which "tertiam parte…in castello Lobodunburg…in pago Lobodungouue in comitatu Counradi", by charter dated 13 Jan 953[256]. The necrology of Fulda records the death "982 VI Kal Mai" of "Cuonrat com"[257]. m ---. The name of Konrad's wife is not known. Graf Konrad & his wife had one child:

(a) KONRAD [Kuno] ([940/45][258]-). The notice concerning the Hammerstein marriage dispute names (in its first part) "Gebehard et Udo nepotes, filii duorum fratrum. Gebehard genuit Cunonem. Udo genuit Ottonem. Cuno genuit Cunonem. Heribertus genuit Ottonem"[259].

c) [EBERHARD (-[944]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Graf im Nahegau: "Otto…rex" granted property "in pago Nahgowe in comitatu Eburhardi comitis in villa…Winteresheim" to Kloster St Alban near Mainz at the request of "Hattoni…comitis" by charter dated 29 May 937[260]. "Otto…rex" granted property "in pago Nahgouue in foresto Wasago…in comitatu…Eburharti" to the church at Worms at the request of "comitis…Eburharti" by charter dated 30 May 937[261]. "Otto…rex" granted property "in occidentali Francia…quondam Eburharti comitis" to Kloster Hersfeld by charter dated 27 Mar 948[262]. m ---. The name of Eberhard's wife is not known. Graf Eberhard & his wife had [four] children:

i) [EBERHARD (-10 May 966). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Jackman discusses[263] the evidence for the affiliation of Eberhard Graf von Ladengau, his brothers and the descendants of the latter. "Otto…rex" granted property "prædium quale Eburhardus comes in loco Ubitisheim in pago Logenahe" to the church of Limburg St Georg at the request of "Chuonradi comitis" by charter dated 20 Apr 940[264]. "Otto…rex" donated property "in villa…Nesine in pago Loginahe in comitatu Eburhardi" to Mainz St Alban by charter dated 4 Apr 958[265]. "Otto…rex" granted property "in pago Hessi in comitatu comitis…Bern in loco Uuestnetri" held by "Bruninc comes filiusque eius Amalunc" to "fideli nostro Retolt" at the request of "comitis Ebarhardi" by charter dated 16 Nov 958[266]. "Eberharti comitis, Guntharii comitis, Burgharti comitis, Vtonis comitis, Cuonrates comitis, Ernustes" signed the charter dated 13 Feb 962 under which Emperor Otto I confirmed the appointment of Pope John XII[267]. The Continuator of Regino records the death in 966 of "comes Eberhardus" but does not give his parentage[268]. The Chronicon of Mariano Scotti records the death in 966 of "Eberhardus comes"[269]. The necrology of Fulda records the death "966 VI Id Mai" of "Eburhart com"[270]. Graf im Nahegau und Lahngau: "Otto…imperator augustus" donated "monasterium puellarium Kescelenheim in pago et comitatu Meinefelt" and property "in pago Nahgeuue…Hagenenmunistar…in comitatu Emichonis comitis…et in pago Spirihgeuui in comitatu Gerungi comitis", all previously owned by "Cuonradus et Eberhardus…exheredes et inlegales sunt adiuciati…idem fratres", to churches in Magdeburg by two charters dated 24 Aug 966 and by charter dated 27 Aug 966[271]. It is possible that Konrad and Eberhard were members of the Konradiner family, and brothers (unless the term "fratres" is used in a broader sense), but there is no indication of the date of the original confiscation of the properties in question nor whether the two individuals were still alive at the time of the charters. Conclusive identification of the two individuals is therefore not possible.]

ii) [KONRAD [Kuno] (-[986]). Widukind names "Conradi…Evurhardi filii" as amicus of Duke Konrad in connection with a battle wound in 953[272], although it is not certain that the text refers to this Konrad. "Eberharti comitis, Guntharii comitis, Burgharti comitis, Vtonis comitis, Cuonrates comitis, Ernustes" signed the charter dated 13 Feb 962 under which Emperor Otto I confirmed the appointment of Pope John XII[273]. "Otto…imperator augustus" donated property "abbatiam Mosebach…in pago Wingarituueibon Cononis comitatu" to the church of Worms by charter dated 15 Nov 976[274].] m ---. The name of Konrad's wife is not known. The name of her supposed son Megingoz suggests a close family relationship with the family of Megingoz, Grafen im Wormsgau (see below in this document), assuming that his affiliation is correctly postulated below. Graf Konrad & his wife had [two children]:

(a) [EBERHARD (-[29 Aug 975/18 Apr 980]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. "Otto…imperator augustus" confirmed rights in property "in pago Moiinegouwe in comitatu Eberhardi comitis" to the church of St Petrus at Aschaffenburg by charter dated 29 Aug 975[275]. Graf von Maingau.]

(b) [MEGINGOZ [Meingaud] (-[1010]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. His name of course suggests a close family relationship with the family of Megingoz, Grafen im Wormsgau. "Otto…imperator augustus" confirmed rights in property "Ozenheim, Dettinga villis…in pago Moiinegouwes in comitatu Megengozi comitis" to the church of St Petrus at Aschaffenburg by charter dated 18 Apr 980[276]. "Otto…rex" confirmed rights to Salamann Abbot of Lorsch in "villa Wezinloch in comitatu Megingaudi filii Cunonis comitis" by charter dated 14 Jan 987[277].]

iii) [UDO . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. This affiliation is assumed to be correct by Jackman, although no source is cited in support[278]. Graf von Maienfeld. He was outlawed in 966.]

iv) [BURKHARD . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. This affiliation is assumed to be correct by Jackman, although no source is cited in support[279].]

3. GEBHARD (-killed in battle near Augsburg [22] Jun 910). Regino records the war in 902 between "Adalbertus cum fratribus Adalhardo et Heinrico" against "Eberhardum et Gebehardum et Rodulfum fratres", specifying that "postmodum iussu Gebehardi decollatus est"[280]. Regino names "Chuonradus senior [et] frater eius Gebehardus", specifying that Gebhard "in Weidereiba poterat"[281]. Duke of Lotharingia. "Hludowicus…rex" confirmed privileges to Kloster St Gallen by charter dated 24 Jun 903 in which among "fidelium nostrum" was listed "…Kebehart dux regni quod a multis Hlotharii dicitur…"[282]. "Hludowicus…rex" confirmed property of Stift Kaiserswerth naming "Cuonrat…propinquus noster et abba cœnobii sancti Suithberti" at the request of "comitum…Cuonrati…et Gebeharti" by charter dated 3 Aug 904[283]. Graf im Wormsgau: "Hludowicus…rex" confirmed property of the church of Worms including "res in pago Wormazfelde in comitatu Kuonrati" which "comes Gebehartus" held, by charter dated 2 Sep 906[284]. "Hludowicus…rex" confirmed an exchange of properties between Kloster Fulda and Kloster Echternach after consulting "fidelium nostrorum comitum vero Kebeharti, Liutpoldi, Burcharti, Eginonis, Liutfredi, Iringi et Cunpoldi" by charter dated 19 Mar 907[285]. Graf in der Wetterau 909: "Hludowicus…rex" granted property "locum Salchinmunstere…in comitatu Gebehardi et in pago Wetereibia" by charter dated 13 Dec 909[286]. Regino records the death of "Gebeardus comes" fighting the Hungarians[287]. m ---. The identity of Gebhard's wife is not known with certainty. Jackman highlights the Liber Memorialis of Remiremont which lists (in order) "Gebardi duci, Hidda, Riquinus, Christianus, Raginfridus". He associates the first two with Duke Gebhard [Konradiner] & his wife, whom he therefore speculates was named HIDDA [Ida], and the last three with the family of Gebhard's wife[288]. Jackman speculates[289] that the wife of Duke Gebhard may have been a sister of Hermann Archbishop of Köln, and descended from Christian [I] Graf von Grabfeld, possibly the daughter of Christian [II] Graf im Grabfeld. This series of suppositions provides support for his theory that Gebhard's grandson Otto was the same person as Otto Graf von Grabfeld. Duke Gebhard & his wife had two children:

a) UDO ([895/900]-949). Regino names "duobus filiis suis [=Gebeardus comes] …pueris Udone et Herimanno" when recording their father's death fighting the Hungarians in 910[290]. His birth date range is estimated from Regino thus describing him as "puer" on the death of his father, but bearing in mind the likely birth date range of his own son Gebhard. "Chuonradus…rex" confirmed privileges to the bishopric of Utrecht by charter dated 9 Jul 914 at the request of "Udonem consanguineum nostrum Vualdergerumque comitem"[291]. Liudprand names "Huto sane" as brother of "Herimanni Suevorum ducis"[292]. Graf in der Wetterau 914: "Chuonradus…rex" granted property "in comitatu Otonis in pago Wetereiba" to Weilburg church by charter dated 24 Apr 914[293]. "Chuonradus…rex" confirmed property to the bishopric of Utrecht at the request of "Udonem consanguineum nostrum Vualdgerumque comitum" by charter dated 9 Jul 914[294]. Graf im Rheingau 917: "Chuonradus…rex" granted property "in pago Rinicgouue in comitatu Utonis" to "capellano Werinolf" by charter dated 3 Nov 917[295]. Graf im Lahngau 918. He founded St Maria at Wetzlar 914-915. "Heinricus…rex" granted property to "in pago Hegouue in eodem comitatu…in loco Siginga" to "Baboni…comitis Burchardi vassallo" after consultation with "Burchardi, Ebarhardi, Chuonradi, Heinrici atque Utonis…comitum" by charter dated 30 Nov 920[296]. Graf im Rheingau 948: "Otto…rex" granted property "in villa Hemmingersbach…in pago Rinecgouue in comitatu Vdonis comitis…in pago Lobotengouue in comitatu Cunradi comitis" to "clerico Liuthere" by charter dated 28 Feb 948[297]. Thietmar records that "Udo" killed Eberhard[298], which is assumed to refer to Udo son of Gebhard, Eberhard being his first cousin. The necrology of Fulda records the death in 949 of "Uto comes"[299]. Regino records the death in 950 of "Uto comes"[300]. m ([915]) [CUNIGUNDIS] de Vermandois, daughter of HERIBERT [I] Comte de Vermandois & his wife [Lietgardis] --- ([890/900][301]-after 943). The Vermandois origin of Graf Udo's wife is suggested by the fact that Flodoard refers to the wife of "Uddone [frater Hermanno]" as amita of "Hugo [de Vermandois Archbishop of Reims]"[302]. The name of Graf Udo's wife is not given explicitly in the sources. However, a "Cunegundis" is named in a name-list in the Reichenau memorial book dated [926/32] which appears to include members of the Konradiner family, Jackman suggesting that she is well placed in the list to be Graf Gebhard's wife[303], although this is not the only possible interpretation. Udo & his wife had three children:

i) GEBHARD ([918/20]-killed in battle 938). Widukind names "Gevehardus, Udonis filius, fratris Herimanni ducis" when recording his death while suppressing the rebellion of Thankmar[304]. His birth date range is estimated from the likely birth date range of his father and assuming that Gebhard was an adolescent or young adult when he died.

ii) OTTO ([920/25]-). The notice concerning the Hammerstein marriage dispute names (in its first part) "Gebehard et Udo nepotes, filii duorum fratrum. Gebehard genuit Cunonem. Udo genuit Ottonem. Cuno genuit Cunonem. Heribertus genuit Ottonem"[305]. It is not impossible that Otto was the same person as Udo's son Udo, although this text suggests that the two names were from different roots.

iii) UDO (-26 Aug 965). Regino records the election as Bishop of Strasbourg in 950 of "Udo filius Udonis comitis"[306]. He was elected Bishop of Strasbourg 13 Aug 950.

b) HERMANN (-10 Dec 949, bur Reichenau Island). Regino names "duobus filiis suis [=Gebeardus comes] …pueris Udone et Herimanno" when recording their father's death fighting the Hungarians in 910[307]. Graf 914-915. He was installed in 926 as HERMANN I Duke of Swabia by Heinrich I King of Germany after the murder of Duke Burkhard II[308].

- DUKES of SWABIA.

4. RUDOLF (-killed in battle in Thuringia 3 Aug 908). Regino names "Ruodolfus…frater Chuonradi et Gebehardi comitem" when recording his appointment as Bishop of Würzburg in 892[309]. Regino records "magna discordianum" between "Rodulfum episcopum Wirziburgensem" and "filios Heinrici ducis, Adalbertum, Adalhardum et Heinricum" in 897[310]. Regino records the war in 902 between "Adalbertus cum fratribus Adalhardo et Heinrico" against "Eberhardum et Gebehardum et Rodulfum fratres"[311]. Regino records that in 903 "Adalbertus Rodulfum episcopum Wiziburgensis ecclesia fugat"[312]. Bishop of Würzburg 892/908. The Annales Alamannicorum record that "Burchardus dux Toringorum et Ruodolfus episcopu Eginoque" were killed in battle by the Hungarians in 908[313].

Four children, brothers and sister:

Considerable controversy surrounds the paternity of these children. Graf Konrad son of Gebhard (died 982) and Graf Udo son of Gebhard (died 949) have both been proposed as their father, Jackman being the principal proponent of the former theory while Hlavitschka has written extensively in support of the latter. It is unnecessary to repeat the detailed arguments in support of each case, as they are fully set out elsewhere, and particularly because each has appeal and neither is obviously preferable. From a purely chronological point of view, the estimated birth date range of the daughter Judith does suggest more difficulty in sustaining the argument in favour of Graf Konrad being their father. The introduction of the name Heribert into the family suggests a strong family connection between these four siblings and the Vermandois family. As shown above, it is suspected that the wives of Gebhard (died 949) and Udo son of Gebhard (also died 949) were daughters of Héribert I Comte de Vermandois. However, in neither case is it obvious that the four siblings shown below were descended from these sisters. In the case of Gebhard, it appears difficult to identify his known son Konrad with Konrad who succeeded as duke of Swabia in 983, and (as noted above) it is chronologically hard to sustain that the siblings were the children of Gebhard's known son Konrad. In the case of Udo son of Gebhard, his known son Udo was recorded as bishop of Strasbourg so could not be the same person as Udo, one of the four siblings shown below, who was killed in 982. All these reservations suggest that there may be a completely different explanation for the parentage of these four siblings from the two theories of Jackman and Hlavitschka.

1. JUDITH ([925/30]-16 Oct [973], bur Heslinge). "Iuditham sororem Udonis ducis qui postmodum in Calabria sub Ottone Rufo cum multis occubuit" is named by the Annalista Saxo, which specifies that Judith had three sons "Heinricum, Udonem et Sigefridum" and three daughters (unnamed), constructed the castle "qui Herseveld dicitur" and was buried with her husband (unnamed) at Heslinge[314]. Her birth date range is estimated from her giving birth to her eldest son in [946]. m ([946]) as his first wife, HEINRICH von Stade Graf im Heilangau, son of LOTHAR II Graf von Stade & his wife Swanehild --- (-11 May 976, bur Kloster Heeringen).

2. UDO (-killed in battle Cotrone, in Calabria 14 Jul 982). "Iuditham sororem Udonis ducis qui postmodum in Calabria sub Ottone Rufo cum multis occubuit" is named by the Annalista Saxo[315]. "Eberharti comitis, Guntharii comitis, Burgharti comitis, Vtonis comitis, Cuonrates comitis, Ernustes" signed the charter dated 13 Feb 962 under which Emperor Otto I confirmed the appointment of Pope John XII[316]. He was killed fighting in Emperor Otto II's army against the Saracens[317]. Thietmar records the death of "Udo comes…matris meæ avunculus" in battle in Calabria 13 Jul[318], Thietmar's mother being the daughter of Udo's sister Judith. The Annales Einsidlenses record that "Uto et Guntharius duces…Berehtaldus comes" were killed fighting the Sarracens in Sicily in 982[319]. The necrology of Fulda records the death in 982 of "Uto dux"[320].

3. KONRAD von Öhningen (-20 Aug 997). Thietmar names "Conradus Suevorum ductor…eiusdem frater Heribertus comes" when recording their deaths[321]. As explained under Heribert (see below), the same source indicates in other passages that Heribert was probably the brother of Judith. He succeeded in 983 as KONRAD Duke of Swabia. Graf im Rheingau 985 and 995. Graf im Ufgau 987. Graf in der Ortenau 994.

4. HERIBERT (-992). Thietmar names "Conradus Suevorum ductor…eiusdem frater Heribertus comes" when recording their deaths[322]. The fact that the two brothers must have also been brothers of Udo and Judith is demonstrated by Thietmar referring to "nepos meus Oddo et uxor eius Irmirgerd…" in 1018[323], and recording the death of "Gevehardus, Heriberti comitis filius, nepos meus" in 1016[324], both Otto and Gebhard being recorded elsewhere as the sons of Heribert. Pfalzgraf in 959. Heinrich Archbishop of Trier confirmed the foundation of the church at Humbach at the request of "ducis Herimanni…Cuonradi comitis" by charter dated 959, witnessed by "…Hernbertes comes palatinus…"[325]. Graf im Kinziggau 976. "Otto…rex" donated property "in pago et in comitatu Nachgouue…Vuormacensis et …Spirensi" held "until now [hactenus]" by "Heribertus comes" to Kloster St Maximin at Trier by charter dated 29 May 992[326]. The necrology of Fulda records the death in 992 of "Heribraht com"[327]. m IMIZA [Irmintrudis], daughter of MEGINGOZ Graf & his wife Gerberge [Matfriede] ([950/60]-). The Vita Adelheidis names "Irminthrudis, Alverad [et] Berthrada" as the three sisters of Adeleid, daughters of "Megengoz" & his wife, specifying that Irminthrudis was grandmother of "Heinrici magnifici ducis et Adhelberonis Metensis episcopi, Friderici ducis"[328]. Her birth date range is estimated from the birth date of her mother. Heribert & his wife had four children:

a) OTTO von Hammerstein (-[5 Jun] 1036). Thietmar names "Heriberti comitis filio Ottone" when recording that he was among those sent by Heinrich II King of Germany to Lombardy after his election to quell unrest[329]. The notice concerning the Hammerstein marriage dispute names (in its first part) "Gebehard et Udo nepotes, filii duorum fratrum. Gebehard genuit Cunonem. Udo genuit Ottonem. Cuno genuit Cunonem. Heribertus genuit Ottonem"[330]. Graf in der Wetterau 1016. Graf im Engersgau 1019. The necrology of Fulda records the death in 1036 of "Otto com"[331]. m IRMGARD, daughter of GODEFROI Comte de Verdun & his wife Mathilde of Saxony [Billung] ([970/85]-[5 Feb 1041/5 Jan 1043]). Thietmar records the excommunication of "nepos meus Oddo et uxor eius Irmirgerd, consanguinitate proxima iniuste diu coniuncti" in 1018, providing no details of the relationship between the two, and in a later passage their separation[332]. It is unlikely that Irmgard could have been born later than [985] in light of the known birth date of her mother in [942]. The validity of her marriage was challenged by the church on grounds of consanguinity, the dispute continuing for ten years before the marriage was finally accepted[333]. "Heinricus…rex" granted property "in villis Harive, Vals, Apine, Falchenberch…in pago Livgowe et in comitatu Dietbaldi comitis" to "Irmingardæ nepti nostræ" by charter dated 5 Feb 1041, on the petition of "ducum Gozelonis filiique sui Gotefridi"[334]. "Heinricus…rex" restituted property to Kloster Hersfeld "post obitum Hirmingarde comitissæ" which Emperor Konrad II had granted to Graf Otto, by charter dated 5 Jan 1043[335]. Otto & his wife had one child:

i) UDO (-1034). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. The necrology of Fulda records the death in 1034 of "Hutho com"[336].

b) GEBHARD (-8 Nov 1016). Thietmar records the death of "Gevehardus, Heriberti comitis filius, nepos meus" in 1016[337].

c) daughter ([970/85?]-). The parentage of the wife of Graf Friedrich is suggested by the Vita Adelheidis which names "Irminthrudis, Alverad [et] Berthrada" as the three sisters of Adelheid, and daughters of "Megengoz" and his wife, specifying that Irminthrudis was grandmother of [three of the sons of Graf Friedrich, shown below] "Heinrici magnifici ducis et Adhelberonis Metensis episcopi, Friderici ducis"[338]. Vannérus comments that “ce que nous savons maintenant de l’histoire de Gleiberg au Xe et au XIe siècle me fait adopter la filiation : I Megingaud-Gerberge ; Ermentrude = Héribert de Gleiberg ; fille = Frédéric de Luxembourg”[339]. He does not discuss the possibility of this person´s earlier otherwise unrecorded marriage which is suggested by the Genealogia Welforum, which names [this person´s daughter] "Salice---de Glizperch Imizam nomine, Heinrici Noricorum ducis sororem et Friderici ducis Lotharingorum et Alberonis Metensis episcopi" as wife of Welf [II] Graf von Altdorf (see below)[340]. The reference to “Glizperch” represents the earliest indication of a relationship between the Luxembourg family and the Grafen von Gleiberg (see the document FRANCONIA NOBILITY). One possibility is that the wife of Graf Friedrich was heiress of Gleiberg. However, Irmtrud/Imiza is the only one of the siblings shown below in relation to whom a reference to Gleiberg has been found. This raises the interesting possibility that Irmtrud/Imiza, while sharing the same mother as the three brothers named in the Genealogia Welforum, may have been born from a different father who presumably held Gleiberg. It should be emphasised that this suggestion is highly speculative. Another indication of a Gleiberg/Luxembourg family connection is provided by Bernold´s Chronicon which records in 1059 that “Fridericus et fratres eius de Glichberga” rebelled against “Heinrico regi”[341]. It is not known which of Friedrich´s brothers may have been “von Gleiberg”. Another possible indication of the family origin of the wife of Graf Friedrich is provided by the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines which records that "comes Letardus de Longui pater Manegaudi et Gislebertus comes de Luscelenburch" were "nepotes" of Emperor Konrad II[342]. The precise family relationships between these three persons have not been traced, but it is possible that Giselbert was related to the emperor through his mother´s family, which had many Franconian connections. [m firstly --- von Gleiberg, son of ---.] m [secondly] ([995/97?]) FRIEDRICH Graf im Moselgau, son of SIEGFRIED Comte [de Luxembourg] & his wife Hedwig --- ([970/75?]-6 Oct 1019).

d) GERBERGA ([975/80]-after 1036). Thietmar names "Ottone germano sui", referring to Gerberga wife of Heinrich von Schweinfurt, whose captivity is recorded in the preceding paragraph, an earlier paragraph referring to "Heriberti comitis filio Ottone" which appears to refer to the same Otto[343]. An alternative possibility is that Gerberga was the daughter of Otto Graf von Grabfeld (see below), the solution chosen by Europäische Stammtafeln[344], but this assumes that the two references to "Otto" in Thietmar were to different individuals. It is also less likely chronologically as it would appear that Otto Graf von Grabfeld was several decades older than Otto Graf von Hammerstein. Her birth date range is estimated on the basis of her daughter Eilika having given birth to her first child in [1020]. Thietmar states that Gerberga and her children were guarded by her husband's brother Bukko during their rebellion against Heinrich II King of Germany in 1003[345]. m (before 1003) HEINRICH von Schweinfurt Graf im Nordgau, son of Graf BERNHARD & his wife Eilika von Walbeck ([970/75][346]-18 Sep 1017, bur Schweinfurt).

The relationship, if any, between the following small family sub-group and the Konradiner family has not been established, although the names Kuno and Uda suggest that there may be a connection.

1. KUNO “von Beckelneim” . Dux. "Dux Cuno de Beckilnheim" and his wife "Jutta" donated property to Disibodenberg in memory of their daughter Uda[347]. This person has not otherwise been identified. He may have been the same person as one of the other duces named Konrad/Kuno above. m JUTTA, daughter of ---. "Dux Cuno de Beckilnheim" and his wife "Jutta" donated property to Disibodenberg in memory of their daughter Uda[348]. Kuno & his wife had one child:

a) UDA . "Dux Cuno de Beckilnheim" and his wife "Jutta" donated property to Disibodenberg in memory of their daughter Uda[349].

Chapter 5. GRAFEN im NAHEGAU

m ---. The name of Werner's wife is not known.

Graf Werner & his wife had one child:

1. KONRAD "der Rote/Rufus" (-killed in battle Lechfeld 10 Aug 955, bur Worms Cathedral[351]). Regino records the succession in 943 of "Chuonradus filius Werinheri" as duke after the death of "Otto dux"[352]. It is assumed that "Werinheri" was the same person as Werner who is named in the 906 charter cited above, but this is not beyond doubt. He was installed as KONRAD Duke of Lotharingia in [945]. Widukind records that "Conrado" was installed as Duke of Lotharingia after the deaths of "Oddone, Lothariorum præside, ac regis nepote Heinrico"[353]. "Otto…rex" donated property to Kloster St Petrus Gorze at the request of "Cuonradi Lodariensis ducis" by charter dated 13 Jul 945[354]. Graf im Nahegau: "Otto…rex" donated property "in forasto…Lutara…in pago Nahgouue…in comitatu Cuonradi" to "fideli nostro Franco" at the request of "ducis…Cuonradi" by charter dated 17 Dec 945[355]. "Chuonradus dux Wernharii comitis filius" donated property to the church of Speyer by charter dated 13 Mar 946[356]. Graf im Niddagau: "Otto…rex" granted property "in pago Nitehgouue in comitatu Cuonradi ducis" to "nostro villico Vuetti" at the request of "Cuonardi nostri…comitis" by charter dated 14 Feb 947[357].

"Otto…rex" granted property confiscated from "Hatto Aladramque fratres…in villis Bechi et Auici situm in pago Ganipi in comitatu Arnulfi" to the church of St Florin, Koblenz at the request of "ducis nostri Cuonradi eius coniugis filiæ nostræ Liutgartæ" by charter dated 22 Nov 949[360]. He rebelled against his father-in-law, together with his brother-in-law Liudolf Duke of Swabia, but was ultimately forgiven, although deposed in 953 as Duke of Lotharingia. He was killed fighting the Magyars near Augsburg[361]. The necrology of Fulda records the death "955 Id Aug" of "Cuonrat dux"[362]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "10 Aug" of "Conradus dux"[363]. The necrology of St Gall records the death "IV Id Aug" of "Perchtoldi comitis et Chuonradi ducis et Uodalrici ac Thietpoldi comitum aliorumque multorem ab Ungaris occisorum"[364]. "Chuonradus…Romanorum imperator augustus" donated property to the church of Worms naming "filii nostri Heinrici Regis, filie quoque nostre Beatricis" for the souls of "parentum nostrorum defunctorum atavi nostri ducis Chuonradi, avie nostre Iudithe, patris nostri Heinrici, patrui nostri ducis Chuonradi eiusque coniugis Mathildis, sororis etiam nostre Iudithe", all buried at Worms Cathedral, by charter dated 30 Jan 1034[365]. m ([947]) LIUTGARD of Saxony, daughter of OTTO I "dem Großen" King of Germany & his first wife Eadgyth of Wessex ([931]-18 Nov 953, bur St Alban near Mainz). Regino records that in 947 "Chuonradus dux…Liutgardam filiam regis in matrimonium sumpsit"[366]. "Liudolfo et Liutgarde" are named as the two children of King Otto I and his wife Eadgyth[367]. Widukind records that "Conrado" Duke of Lotharingia married "unicam filiam [regis]"[368]. Duke Konrad & his wife had one child:

a) OTTO (-4 Nov 1004, bur [Bruchsal]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Ottonem" as son of "duci Wormatie Conrado", specifying that he was father of "Cono dux et Henricus pater imperatoris Conradi"[369]. Graf im Nahegau.

- see below.

OTTO, son of KONRAD Duke [of Lotharingia] & his wife Liutgard of Saxony (-4 Nov 1004, bur [Bruchsal]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Ottonem" as son of "duci Wormatie Conrado", specifying that he was father of "Cono dux et Henricus pater imperatoris Conradi"[370]. Graf im Nahegau 956: "Otto…rex" granted property "in pago Nahgouue in forasto…Vuasago…in comitatu Ottonis filii Cuonradi ducis" to Worms St Peter by charter dated 8 Mar 956[371]. He was installed as OTTO Duke of Carinthia by Otto II King of Germany in 978 after the trial of Heinrich Duke of Carinthia who had been implicated in the rebellion of Heinrich II "der Zänker" Duke of Bavaria[372]. Duke Otto was deprived of Carinthia in 985 when it was returned to Duke Heinrich I [Liutpoldinger], but allowed to retain the ducal title and granted lands around Worms and Frankfurt[373]. He was restored as Duke of Carinthia from 995 to 1002. Presumably he is the "Duke Otto" who is listed first among those presiding over a court hearing in the presence of Emperor Otto III at Pavia 14 Oct 1001 [374]. According to Thietmar, he was proposed as candidate for the imperial throne in 1002 but declined the offer[375]. Thietmar names "Duke Otto of Carinthia and Verona" among those sent by Heinrich II King of Germany to Lombardy after his election to quell unrest[376]. Wipo names "Ottone duce Francorum" when recording the names of his sons[377]. The necrology of Fulda records the death "1003 II Non Nov" of "Otto dux"[378].

m JUDITH, daughter of --- (-991, bur Worms Cathedral). "Chuonradus… Romanorum imperator augustus" donated property to the church of Worms naming "filii nostri Heinrici Regis, filie quoque nostre Beatricis" for the souls of "parentum nostrorum defunctorum atavi nostri ducis Chuonradi, avie nostre Iudithe, patris nostri Heinrici, patrui nostri ducis Chuonradi eiusque coniugis Mathildis, sororis etiam nostre Iudithe", all buried at Worms Cathedral, by charter dated 30 Jan 1034[379]. According to Wegener[380], Judith was the daughter of Heinrich, son of Arnulf Duke of Bavaria [Liutpoldinger], but he cites no primary source to support the suggestion.

Duke Otto & his wife had [four] children:

1. HEINRICH (-28 Sep [989/1000], bur Worms cathedral). Wipo names "Hezil et Chuono…Brunone et Willihelmo" as sons of "Ottone duce Francorum"[381]. m as her first husband, ADELHEID, daughter of [RICHARD Graf von Metz or GERHARD Graf von Metz] [Matfride] & his wife --- (-19 May [1039/46], bur Öhningen Stiftskirche). Wipo names "Adalheida ex nobilissima gente Litharingorum oriunda…soror…comitem Gerhardi et Adalberti" as mother of "maioris Chuononis"[382]. She married secondly ---, as suggested by the Vita Meinwerci which names "Gebehardus iuvenis, frater imperatoris" when recording his tonsure at the synod in 1028[383], Gerhard not being named elsewhere as full brother of Emperor Konrad I. "Heinricus…rex" donated property "Lohwilare in pago Bietgowe in comitatu Bezelini comitis…ex avia nostra domina Adelheit iure hereditario suscepimus" to the cathedral of Speyer by charter dated 7 Sep 1046[384]. Graf Heinrich & his wife had two children:

a) KONRAD ([990]-Utrecht 4 Jun 1039, bur Speyer cathedral). Herimannus names "Counradus senior, filius Heinrici et Adalheidæ" when recording his candidacy to succeed as king of Germany in 1024[385]. He was elected KONRAD II King of Germany at Chamba, Rheingau 4 Sep 1024, crowned at Mainz 8 Sep 1024. Crowned King of Italy at Milan Mar 1026. Crowned Emperor KONRAD I at Rome 26 Mar 1027.

- KINGS of GERMANY.

b) JUDITH (-[998], before 30 Jan 1034, bur Worms Cathedral). "Chuonradus…Romanorum imperator augustus" donated property to the church of Worms naming "filii nostri Heinrici Regis, filie quoque nostre Beatricis" for the souls of "parentum nostrorum defunctorum atavi nostri ducis Chuonradi, avie nostre Iudithe, patris nostri Heinrici, patrui nostri ducis Chuonradi eiusque coniugis Mathildis, sororis etiam nostre Iudithe", all buried at Worms Cathedral, by charter dated 30 Jan 1034[386]. As all the relatives mentioned were members of Emperor Konrad's direct agnatic family, it is unlikely that Judith was her mother's daughter by her second marriage.

2. BRUNO (-Rome 18 Feb or 12 Mar 999, bur Rome, St Peter's). Herimannus names "Counradus dux Carentani, filius Ottonis ducis fraterque Brunonis dudum papæ" when recording his death in 1012[387]. Wipo names "Hezil et Chuono…Brunone et Willihelmo" as sons of "Ottone duce Francorum", specifying that Bruno was elected Pope as Gregory[388]. Elected Pope GREGORY V 3 May 996. Thietmar records the death in Rome of Pope Gregory on 4 Feb[389].

Wipo names "Mahthilda de filia Chuonradi regis Burgundiæ" as mother of "iunioris Chuononis"[393]. Thietmar refers to "Konrad" as son-in-law of Hermann Duke of Swabia, recording that they attacked Strasbourg together after the election of Heinrich II King of Germany[394]. "Chuonradus…Romanorum imperator augustus" donated property to the church of Worms naming "filii nostri Heinrici Regis, filie quoque nostre Beatricis" for the souls of "parentum nostrorum defunctorum atavi nostri ducis Chuonradi, avie nostre Iudithe, patris nostri Heinrici, patrui nostri ducis Chuonradi eiusque coniugis Mathildis, sororis etiam nostre Iudithe", all buried at Worms Cathedral, by charter dated 30 Jan 1034[395]. She married secondly Frédéric II Duke of Upper Lotharingia [Wigeriche]. The primary source which records her second marriage has not so far been identified. However, the Chronicon Sancti Michælis, monasterii in pago Virdunensi names "duabus puellulis Sophia et Beatrice" as daughters of the son of "duce Theodorico", specifying that the empress was their amita and that she adopted them after their father died[396]. The Alberti Milioli Notarii Regini Liber de Temporibus names "comitissam Beatricam…de Gallia…filia comitis Frederic, mater…domina Matilda", but does not give the origin of Mathilde[397]. She married thirdly Esiko Graf im Schwabengau [Askanier-Ballenstedt]. The Annalista Saxo names "Machtildis" sister of Gisela, wife of Emperor Konrad II, and her third husband[398]. She attended the Easter celebrations at Ingelheim in 1030[399]. The Liber Anniversariorum of Einsiedeln records the death in Jul of "Mechthild soror imperatricis Gislæ"[400]. Duke Konrad & his wife had [three] children:

a) KONRAD "der Jüngere" ([1003]-20 Jul 1039, bur Worms cathedral). Herimannus names "filio eius [=Counradus dux Carentani] puero Counrado" when recording that he was deprived of the duchy of Carinthia on his father's death in 1012[401]. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the imperial throne in 1024, but he agreed to accept the outcome of the election meeting at Chamba 4 Sep 1024 and immediately supported his cousin's election[402]. Herimannus names "patruelis eius [=Counradus senior, filius Heinrici et Adalheidæ] Counradis filius Counradi ducis ex Mathilde" when recording his candidacy to succeed as king of Germany in 1024[403]. The Annales Colonienses specify that "Kuono" was sent into exile in 1027[404]. He was installed as KONRAD II Duke of Carinthia in 1036. The Annalista Saxo records the death "XIII Kal Aug inmatura" of "Conradus Carentinorum dux, patruelis Conradi imperatoris"[405]. [m ---. The name of Konrad's wife is not known. Graf Konrad & his wife had [one possible child]:]

i) [CUNO (-after 1056). He is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln as the possible son of Graf Konrad[406]. The primary source which suggests this parentage has not yet been identified. He sold Bruchsal to Heinrich IV King of Germany in 1056.]

b) BRUNO ([1004]-Persenbeug 27 May 1045, bur Würzburg cathedral). Herimannus names "Brun, patruelis imperatoris, filius ex Mahthilde Counradi ducis" when recording his installation as Bishop of Würzburg in 1034[407]. Bishop of Würzburg 1034. The Chronicon of Bernold records the installation of "Brun filius Mathildis" as Bishop of Würzburg in 1034[408]. The Chronicon of Bernold records the death "1045 VII Kal Jun" of "Brun Wurziburgensis episcopus"[409].

c) [--- . According to Europäische Stammtafeln[410], the wife of Hezzelin was the possible daughter of Konrad Duke of Carinthia. The primary source which suggests this parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. m HEZZELIN Graf im Zülpichgau, son of HERMANN Pfalzgraf von Lothringen & his wife Heilwig --- (-20 Nov 1033, bur Brauweiler).]

4. WILHELM (-7 Nov 1047). Wipo names "Hezil et Chuono…Brunone et Willihelmo" as sons of "Ottone duce Francorum", specifying that Wilhelm was made "Argentinensis ecclesiæ episcopus"[411]. Chaplain of Empress Gisela. He was elected Bishop of Strasbourg in 1029[412]. Jackman speculates that Wilhelm may have been illegitimate[413].

The family relationship, if any, between Graf Emich [II] and Graf Emich [I] has not been traced, although the common use of this first name and the fact that both were Grafen im Nahegau suggest that there was a close connection. Graf im Nahegau[421]. m KUNIGUNDE, daughter of ---. Siegfried Archbishop of Mainz confirmed that "comes Bertholdus cum...coniuge sua Hedewiga consanguinea nostra" had destroyed “capellam suam in loco...Rebengeresburc” [Ravengiersberg], with the consent of “Cunigunde comitisse comitis Immechonis vidua suisque coheredibus Arnolfo et Bertramo”, by charter dated 5 May 1072, witnessed by “Geizzolfus comes, Emmicho comes et frater suus Beretram...”[422].

According to one table in Europäische Stammtafeln (which omits his parentage as shown in this document), he was the same person as Berthold Graf von Hohenberg (bei Durlach) and founded Kloster Gottesau in 1094[448]. There therefore appears to be confusion about the identity of the families of the various counts named Berthold who lived in Franconia/northern Swabia in the late 11th/early 12th century. Unfortunately, this confusion cannot at present be cleared up because the primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of the following family have not yet all been identified.

Chapter 6. GRAFEN im RHEINGAU, RHEINGRAFEN

The pagus Rhenensis lay east of the river Rhein to the north of pagus Lobodonunsem, with Wiesbaden and Mainz in the northern part of the pagus and Worms in the southern. The southern part of the pagus later developed into the south-eastern half of the Grafschaft Katzenelnbogen, centred on the town of Darmstadt. The northern area formed part of the lay properties of the archbishopric of Mainz. A geographical description of the pagus Rhenensis during Carolingian times is found in the Acta Academiæ Theodoro-Palatinæ, based principally on donations made to Lorsch during the 9th and 10th centuries[474].

Leading families in the pagus Rhenensis between the late 8th and late 10th centuries included the descendants of Cancor, shown in the present document under the Grafen im Wormsgau, and the Konradiner (Grafen im Lahngau). The family of the Rheingrafen emerged in the same area in the late 11th century.

On the basis of the primary sources which have so far been consulted during the preparation of the present document, there is considerable uncertainty about the reconstruction of the early generations of this family.

1. --- . m HILTRUDIS, daughter of --- (-after 5 Oct 1071). Siegfried Archbishop of Mainz confirmed a donation by "nobilis matrona Hiltrudis…vidua filiusque eius Reinfredus et Ludowicus comes" of "hereditario iure…in pago Rinegowe…in villa Winkela, Eybinga et in Loricha" to Kloster St Victor at Mainz, by charter dated 5 Oct 1071, witnessed by "Gebeno prefectus civitatis, Emicho comes, Sigefredus comes, Wiggerus comes, Ludewicus comes, Udalrich advocatus, Adelbrecht advocatus, Megingoz centurion, Diebrecht, Dudo, Embricho filius eius"[475].

2. LUDWIG (-after 5 Oct 1071). Siegfried Archbishop of Mainz confirmed a donation by "nobilis matrona Hiltrudis…vidua filiusque eius Reinfredus et Ludowicus comes" of "hereditario iure…in pago Rinegowe…in villa Winkela, Eybinga et in Loricha" to Kloster St Victor at Mainz, by charter dated 5 Oct 1071[477]. Graf [im Rheingau]. The relationship, if any, between Ludwig and the other donors is not specified in the document.

1. RICULF (-after 1109). "Richolfus comes…" witnessed the charter dated 1090 under which "Dirolfus et uxor mea Heilrad" donated property "in confinio Altavilla iuxta ripam Reni" to Kloster Bleidenstatt, for the repose of "matris mee Friderun"[478]. A charter dated 1096 records a donation by "Giselbreth" of property "in marcha ville Winkela" next to property of "Richolfus comes" to Kloster Bleidenstatt[479]. Graf im Rheingau. "Richolfus comes Rinckaugie et uxor mea Danckmodis cum filio nostro Ludewico et filia nostra Werdtrude" donated "ecclesiam in villa nostra Clingelmunda infra Winzellam" to Propstei St Johann auf dem Bischofsberge by charter dated 1109, before 2 May[480]. m DANKMODIS, daughter of --- (-after 1109).

According to Europäische Stammtafeln[482], Dankmodis was the sister of Ruthard Archbishop of Mainz, but the primary source on which this information is based has not yet been identified. Riculf & his wife had [three] children:

a) LUDWIG (-after 1109). "Richolfus comes Rinckaugie et uxor mea Danckmodis cum filio nostro Ludewico et filia nostra Werdtrude" donated "ecclesiam in villa nostra Clingelmunda infra Winzellam" to Propstei St Johann auf dem Bischofsberge by charter dated 1109, before 2 May[483].

same person as…? LUDWIG . Graf [im Rheingau]. m SOPHIE, daughter of ---. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 1126 under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the donation by "religiosa…domina Ludgardis" to Kloster Bleidenstatt, for the souls of "Ludwici comitis et Sophie parentum suorum, Mechtildis de Stecklinberg amite sue, Embrichonis comitis, domini Ludwici abbatis fratrum suorum et Hiltrudis sororis sue", with the consent of "Embrichonis comitis Ringowie et Wulfrici de Winkla nepotum suorum"[486]. Ludwig & his wife had one child:

i) LUDGARDIS . Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the donation by "religiosa…domina Ludgardis" to Kloster Bleidenstatt, for the souls of "Ludwici comitis et Sophie parentum suorum, Mechtildis de Stecklinberg amite sue, Embrichonis comitis, domini Ludwici abbatis fratrum suorum et Hiltrudis sororis sue", with the consent of "Embrichonis comitis Ringowie et Wulfrici de Winkla nepotum suorum", by charter dated 1126, witnessed by "Emicho comes de Kireberc, Bertolfus comes de Nuringin, Embricho comes de Rinegowe, Wulframus de Lapide, Wulframus et Embricho filii sui…"[487].

b) WERDTRUD . "Richolfus comes Rinckaugie et uxor mea Danckmodis cum filio nostro Ludewico et filia nostra Werdtrude" donated "ecclesiam in villa nostra Clingelmunda infra Winzellam" to Propstei St Johann auf dem Bischofsberge by charter dated 1109, before 2 May[488]. A charter dated 1130, which records the confirmation by Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz of the possessions of Kloster Bischofsberge, states that "filie Richolfi comitis" became a recluse before her death[489].

c) [MECHTILD von Stecklinberg . Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1126 under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the donation by "religiosa…domina Ludgardis" to Kloster Bleidenstatt, for the souls of "Ludwici comitis et Sophie parentum suorum, Mechtildis de Stecklinberg amite sue, Embrichonis comitis, domini Ludwici abbatis fratrum suorum et Hiltrudis sororis sue", with the consent of "Embrichonis comitis Ringowie et Wulfrici de Winkla nepotum suorum"[490]. It is not clear from this document whether Mechtild von Stecklinberg was the donor´s paternal or maternal aunt.]

Two siblings, related to the preceding family although the precise relationship is unclear:

1. EMBRICHO [II] (-after 1143). Graf [im Rheingau]. Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the donation by "religiosa…domina Ludgardis" to Kloster Bleidenstatt, for the souls of "Ludwici comitis et Sophie parentum suorum, Mechtildis de Stecklinberg amite sue, Embrichonis comitis, domini Ludwici abbatis fratrum suorum et Hiltrudis sororis sue", with the consent of "Embrichonis comitis Ringowie et Wulfrici de Winkla nepotum suorum", by charter dated 1126, witnessed by "Emicho comes de Kireberc, Bertolfus comes de Nuringin, Embricho comes de Rinegowe, Wulframus de Lapide, Wulframus et Embricho filii sui…"[491]. The wording of this charter suggests that "Embrichonis comitis Ringowie…nepotum suorum" (shown as Embricho [II] in the present document) was a different person from "Embrichonis comitis" for whose soul the donation was made (Embricho [I], see below). The word "suorum" in the phrase "nepotum suorum" appears to refer to the donor. It is not known with certainty that Graf Embricho [II] was the nephew of Ludgardis, or a more distant relative, given the usual confusion surrounding the word "nepos". However, it does appear reasonably clear that Embricho [II] must have been the successor of Embricho [I] as Graf im Rheingau. ["Emicho comes et frater suus Gerlach, Meinhardus comes de Spanheim, Arnoldus de Lurinbergk, Sifridus comes de Nuringen, Albero de Hachinfels, Eberhardus de Hostetten…Embricho comes de Rinegowe…" witnessed the charter dated 1123 under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed donations to Kloster Altmünster by "Meingotus filius Embrichonis quondam camerarii nostri", when leaving for Jerusalem, with the consent of "fratris sui Dudonis"[492]. It is not known whether the witness "Embricho comes de Rinegowe" was Embricho [I] or Embricho [II].] Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the property of Bischofsberg, including donations made by "Ludewicus comes in Rineguowe cum uxore sua Ludgardis", by charter dated 1140, witnessed by "…Embrico Comes de Rinegowe…"[493]. "…Hadewigis…soror nostra…" donated property to Kloster Johannisberg "per manum fratris sui Embrichonis" by charter dated 1143[494].

2. HEDWIG (-after 1143). Nun at Kloster Johannisberg. "…Hadewigis…soror nostra…" donated property to Kloster Johannisberg "per manum fratris sui Embrichonis" by charter dated 1143[495].

1. WOLFRAM von Winkler (-after 1126). Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the donation by "religiosa…domina Ludgardis" to Kloster Bleidenstatt, for the souls of "Ludwici comitis et Sophie parentum suorum, Mechtildis de Stecklinberg amite sue, Embrichonis comitis, domini Ludwici abbatis fratrum suorum et Hiltrudis sororis sue", with the consent of "Embrichonis comitis Ringowie et Wulfrici de Winkla nepotum suorum", by charter dated 1126[496]. As explained above under Graf Embricho [II], the wording of this document suggests that "Embrichonis comitis Ringowie et Wulfrici de Winkla nepotum suorum" were related to the donor, maybe her nephews. If this is correct, it is not certain whether the two named individuals were brothers or born from different parents. The absence of a reference in the charter to their being brothers cannot be considered conclusive in considering the question, although the difference in their territorial epithets suggests that they may have had different fathers.

The precise relationship, if any, between the following two brothers and sister and the previous family has not yet been ascertained.

1. EMBRICHO [I] (-before 1126). Graf [im Rheingau]. Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the donation by "religiosa…domina Ludgardis" to Kloster Bleidenstatt, for the souls of "Ludwici comitis et Sophie parentum suorum, Mechtildis de Stecklinberg amite sue, Embrichonis comitis, domini Ludwici abbatis fratrum suorum et Hiltrudis sororis sue", with the consent of "Embrichonis comitis Ringowie et Wulfrici de Winkla nepotum suorum", by charter dated 1126, witnessed by "Emicho comes de Kireberc, Bertolfus comes de Nuringin, Embricho comes de Rinegowe, Wulframus de Lapide, Wulframus et Embricho filii sui…"[497].

2. LUDWIG . His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1126 under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the donation by "religiosa…domina Ludgardis" to Kloster Bleidenstatt, for the souls of "Ludwici comitis et Sophie parentum suorum, Mechtildis de Stecklinberg amite sue, Embrichonis comitis, domini Ludwici abbatis fratrum suorum et Hiltrudis sororis sue", with the consent of "Embrichonis comitis Ringowie et Wulfrici de Winkla nepotum suorum"[498].

3. HILTRUDIS . Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 1126 under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the donation by "religiosa…domina Ludgardis" to Kloster Bleidenstatt, for the souls of "Ludwici comitis et Sophie parentum suorum, Mechtildis de Stecklinberg amite sue, Embrichonis comitis, domini Ludwici abbatis fratrum suorum et Hiltrudis sororis sue", with the consent of "Embrichonis comitis Ringowie et Wulfrici de Winkla nepotum suorum"[499].

"Cancor et Angila conjux mea" donated property "in illa marcha de Bisistat…de dote Angilæ" [Birstatt] to Lorsch by charter dated 1 Jun 770, signed by "Thurincberti fratris ipsius Cancronis et Heimerici filii sui"[515]. "Karolus…rex Francorum", in an undated charter (placed in the compilation with charters dated 772) related to Kloster Lorsch, names "avia…Heimerici…Williswinda vel genitor suus Cancor, germano suo domino Ruodgango archiepiscopo"[516]. "Heimricus comes filius Cancronis" confirmed donations to Lorsch "mortuis patre et avia" by charter dated 776[517]. Graf im Oberrheingau 772/782. Graf im Lahngau 778. "Heimiricus comes filius domne nostre Wiilisuuinde" witnessed an enquiry into property "in villa…Sueinheim" by charter dated 6 Jun 782[518], although Heimrich was the grandson, not the son, of Williswinda if the information in other the charters is accurate. Abbot of Mosbach 784.

b) [CHRODGANG [Hruotgang] (-after [772]). "Heimericus" names "germano suo domino Ruodgango archiepiscopo" in an undated charter relating to a donation to Kloster Lorsch[519]. "Karolus…rex Francorum", in an undated charter (placed in the compilation with charters dated 772) related to Kloster Lorsch, names "avia…Heimerici…Williswinda vel genitor suus Cancor, germano suo domino Ruodgango archiepiscopo"[520]. Archbishop, although his archbishopric has not yet been traced. Other sources name Chrodgang Archbishop of Metz, son of Sigramnus and his wife Landrada (see the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY). It appears beyond coincidence that two archbishops named Chrodgang existed at the same time. It is possible therefore that all the sources refer to the same person and that "germanus" in the Lorsch sources should be interpreted more broadly than "brother".]

c) ERMBERT (-803). "Rachildis" donated property "in pago Wormatiense in Dinenheimer marcha" to Lorsch, for the souls of "…germani mei Heimerici atque Erimberti episcopi", by charter dated 31 Oct 792[521]. The Chronicon Laureshamense records the donation "in Dinenheim et Sunnincheim" dated "792 prid Kal Nov" by "Rachildis…pro remedio animæ…et germani mei Heimrici atque Ermberti episcopi"[522]. Bishop of Worms 770.

d) RACHILT (-after 1 Nov 792). "Rachildis" donated property "in pago Wormatiense in Dinenheimer marcha" to Lorsch, for the souls of "…germani mei Heimerici atque Erimberti episcopi", by charter dated 31 Oct 792[523]. The Chronicon Laureshamense records the donation "in Dinenheim et Sunnincheim" dated "792 prid Kal Nov" by "Rachildis…pro remedio animæ…et germani mei Heimrici atque Ermberti episcopi"[524]. Nun at Lorsch.

e) EUPHEMIA . The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. 776. Nun at Lorsch.

2. [ANSELM . Europäische Stammtafeln[525] shows Anselm (-killed in battle Roncesvalles 15 Aug 788), comes palatii, as the son of Robert [I] but the primary source on which this is based has not yet been identified. "Carolus…rex Francorum et Langobardorum" granted the monastery of Plaisir to Folrad abbot of Saint-Denis by charter dated 28 Jul 775 which name "fidelibus…Ghaerardo, Bernardo, Radulfo, Hilderado, Ermenaldo, Hebroino, Theudbaldo, Agneone comitibus, Haltberto, Laumberto, Haererico et Anselmo comite palatio nostro"[526]. "Carolus…rex Francorum et Langobardorum" gave a judgment by charter dated to [Dec 775] which names "fidelibus…Widrigo, Odrigo, Theodrico, Bernehardo, Albuino, Aginhardo, Berngario comitibus et Anshelmo comite palacii nostri"[527]. Einhard records that "Eggihardus regiæ mensæ præpositus, Anselmus comes palatii et Hruodlaudus Brittanici limitis præfectus" were killed against “Wascones” having crossed the Pyrenees, dated from the context to the 780s[528]. The epitaph of “Aggiardi” records his death “XVIII Kal Sep”[529], which suggests that the three were killed at the first battle of Roncesvalles, dated 15 Aug 778.]

3. THURINGBERT (-Jun 770 or after). "Cancor et Angila conjux mea" donated property "in illa marcha de Bisistat…de dote Angilæ" [Birstatt] to Lorsch by charter dated 1 Jun 770, signed by "Thurincberti fratris ipsius Cancronis et Heimerici filii sui"[530]. The Chronicon Laureshamense records "Thurincberti fratris ipsius Cancronis" as signatory of the donation dated 1 Jun 770 by "comitis Cancronis et uxoris eius Angila"[531]. "Turincbertus" donated property to Lorsch by charter dated 1 Nov 767 subscribed by "Heimerici comitis"[532]. Grundherr im Rheingau und Wormsgau. "Turincbertus et filius meus Rotbertus" donated property "in pago Rinensi in villa…Birstat" to Lorsch by charter dated Jun 770[533]. m ---. The name of Thuringbert's wife is not known. Thuringbert & his wife had one child:

a) ROBERT [II] (-12 Jul 807). "Turincbertus et filius meus Rotbertus" donated property "in pago Rinensi in villa…Birstat" to Lorsch by charter dated Jun 770[534]. Graf im Wormsgau und Oberrheingau 795/807. Herr zu Dienheim 795. [same person as…? RADBERT (-807). Einhard records that "Radbertus missus imperatoris" died in 807 after returning from the Orient[535]. It is possible that "Radbertus" refers to "Rodbertus".]

1. ROBERT [III], son of --- (-before 19 Feb 834). "Karolus…augustus…imperator Romanum…rex Francorum et Langobardorum" issued a judgment by charter dated 8 Mar 812 which names "fidelibus nostri: Gerulfus, Guntlandus, Hedo, Armannus, Hamricus, Sicardus, Rotbertus comitibus…Amalricus comiti palatii nostro"[536]. Graf im Wormsgau. The Commemoratio Missis Data dated 825 [before Nov] names "…in Mogontia…Heistulfus episcopus et Ruodbertus comes…"[537]. He was named deceased in his wife’s 19 Feb 834 charter. m ([808]) WILTRUD, daughter of ADRIANUS & his wife Waldrat. "Wialdruth et Guntram" donated property "in Buosinesheim" for the soul of "Rutperti comitis quondam viri mei" by charter dated 19 Feb 834[538]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. Robert [III] & his wife had [seven] children:

a) [GUNTRAM (-[[19 Feb 834/10 Apr 837], bur Lorsch). "Wialdruth et Guntram" donated property "in Buosinesheim" for the soul of "Rutperti comitis quondam viri mei" by charter dated 19 Feb 834[539]. The document implies, but does not specifically state, that Guntram was the couple's son. [Graf im Wormsgau.] "Batdagis" donated property "in villa...Phungestat", granted to her by “præfatus Gunteramus”, to Lorsch, for the soul of "domini mei Guntrami comitis" buried at Lorsch, by charter dated 10 Apr 837, witnessed by “Ruotberti comitis...”[540]. It is unclear from this document whether the donor was Guntram’s widow or only his vassal.]

b) [EUDES (-1 Aug 871). René Merlet suggests that Eudes was the brother of Robert "le Fort", ancestor of the Capetian dynasty, tracing what appears to be the parallel development of their careers[541]. If this is correct, the chronology suggests that Eudes must have been the older brother. Comte de Châteaudun, later Comte de Troyes. Comte de Blois.]

- see CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY.

c) ROBERT [Rodbert] . "Rubertus filius Ruberti comitis" donated property "in in pago Wormat. in Mettenheimer marca" to Lorsch by charter dated [836/37][542]. "Batdagis" donated property "in villa...Phungestat", to Lorsch, for the soul of "domini mei Guntrami comitis", by charter dated 10 Apr 837, witnessed by “Ruotberti comitis...”[543]. [same person as…? ROBERT "le Fort" ([815/30]-killed in battle Brissarthe 2 Jul 866). No definite proof has so far been identified of the co-identity of Robert "le Fort" with the son of Robert Graf im Wormsgau. No primary source has yet been found which points specifically towards this suggested co-identity, although it is consistent with the Franconian origin referred to by the Annales Xantenses and by Widukind, noted above. It is assumed that the suggestion is based primarily on onomastics, although the first secondary source which proposed the connection has not yet been identified and therefore has not been not checked. The author in question may also have assumed that Robert was a unique name among noblemen in France in the first half of the 9th century, although this ignores Robert Seigneur [comte] à Sesseau en Berry, who was the possible brother of the wife of Pepin I King of Aquitaine (see the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY). The timing of the supposed arrival of Robert from Franconia, assuming that the co-identity is correct, is not ideal either. Robert would presumably have fled Germany after opting to support Charles II “le Chauve” King of the West Franks in the latter´s fight against his brother Ludwig II "der Deutsche” King of the East Franks. This dispute is dated to 858/59: King Ludwig invaded in Aug 858, when King Charles was faced with widespread rebellion, and was defeated in Jan 859. However, Robert "le Fort" is already named as missus in Maine, Anjou and Touraine in Nov 853, in a document issued by King Charles II[544] (unless of course this document refers to Robert Seigneur [comte] à Sesseau, which is not impossible).]

[- KINGS of FRANCE.]

d) [ODA . The primary source which confirms her suggested parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. It is presumably speculative. m WALACHO [Walo] Graf im Wormsgau, son of --- (-before 891).]

e) [ADALELM [I] (-after 6 Mar 870). Regino names "Waltgerius comes, nepos Odonis regis, filius scilicet avunculi eius Adalhelmi in Aquitanien" when recording his battle against "Ramnulfum et fratrem eius Gozbertum et Ebulonem abbatum de sancto Dionysio " in Jul 892[545]. The primary source which confirms that Adalelm [I] was the son of Robert [III] has not yet been identified. If "avunculus" is used in its strict sense in this text, it is possible that Adalelm [I] was a maternal relative of Eudes King of France rather than the brother of Eudes's father. An agreement dated 6 Mar 870 between Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks and his brother Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks names "Ingelramnus comes" as representative of the former and, as present, "Adalelmus comes, Ingelramnus comes, Liutfridus comes, Theodericus comes, item Adalelmus comes"[546].] m ---. The name of Adalelm's wife is not known. Adalelm [I] & his wife had [two] children:

i) [ADALELM [II] (-killed in battle Paris 886). An agreement dated 6 Mar 870 between Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks and his brother Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks names "Ingelramnus comes" as representative of the former and, as present, "Adalelmus comes, Ingelramnus comes, Liutfridus comes, Theodericus comes, item Adalelmus comes"[547]. An agreement dated 14 Jun 877 of Emperor Charles II "le Chauve", presumably written with his own death in mind, names "…ex comitibus aut Tedericus, aut Balduinus, sive Chuonradus, seu Adalelmus" as those willing to support the emperor's son[548]. Abbo's Bella Parisiciæ Urbis records the death of "Rotberto…nepos eius…Adalelmus" at the siege of Paris in 886[549]. The parentage of Adalhelm [II] is not known, but the passage in Abbo indicates his (imprecise) family relationship with the future Robert I King of France, and his name suggests that he may have been the son of Adalelm [I].]

ii) WALTGER (-after Jul 892). Regino names "Waltgerius comes, nepos Odonis regis, filius scilicet avunculi eius Adalhelmi in Aquitanien" when recording his battle against "Ramnulfum et fratrem eius Gozbertum et Ebulonem abbatum de sancto Dionysio " in Jul 892[550].

f) [daughter . The origin of the wife of Megingoz [I] is not known with certainty. She may have been the daughter of Robert [III] Graf im Wormsgau & his wife Wiltrud ---, as indicated by the charter dated 876 under which Graf Megingoz, with his nepos Odo, donated property at Mattenheim. Settipani identifies Odo with the future Eudes King of France[551], suggesting that either Megingoz [I] himself or his wife was closely related to the Rotbertiner family. This hypothesis appears corroborated by Megingoz [II], probable son of Megingoz [I], being described as nepos of King Eudes in 892 by Regino[552]. Jackman suggests that the wife of Megingoz [I] was named ROTLIND, whose name is closely associated with the family in the Memorial book of Remiremont[553]. However, it is also possible that Megingoz's relationship to King Eudes was more remote that "uncle" or that he was a maternal relative of the king. m MEGINGOZ [I] Graf im Wormsgau, son of [ADALBERT & his wife ] (-after 876). However, it is also possible that Megingoz's relationship to King Eudes was more remote than "uncle" or that he was a maternal relative of the king.]

g) [WILDRUT . Jackman suggests that the wife of Aledram [I] Comte de Troyes was the daughter of Robert [III], the name Wildrut appearing in a Reichenau memorial book[554]. m ALEDRAM [I] Comte [de Troyes], son of ---.]

B. FAMILY of GRAF MEGINGOZ

MEGINGOZ [I] [Megingaud/Megingold], son of [ADALBERT] & his wife --- (-876 or after). Megingoz son of Adalbert is named in a Papal letter dated 879[555], although it is not known whether this is the same person as Megingoz [I]. "…Megingoz…" is among those listed as present in the charter dated 12 Oct 847 under which King Ludwig granted property to "Pribina"[556]. "Heriricus" donated property "Wimundasheim in pago Wurmacense" to Trier with the advice and consent of "fratris nostri…Hunfridi episcopi" by charter dated 21 Aug 868, subscribed by "Megingaudi comitis, Megengaudi vicedomni"[557]. Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks confirmed donations to Kloster Prüm by charter dated 12 Apr 870 which states that Prüm was founded by "Megingaudus comes…" among others[558]. Graf im Wormsgau.

m ---. The origin of the wife of Megingoz [I] is not known with certainty. She may have been --- im Wormsgau, daughter of Robert [III] Graf im Wormsgau & his wife Wiltrud ---, as indicated by the charter dated 876 under which Graf Megingoz, with his nepos Odo, donated property at Mattenheim. Settipani identifies Odo with the future Eudes King of France[559], suggesting that either Megingoz himself or his wife was closely related to the Rotbertiner family. This hypothesis appears corroborated by Megingoz [II], probable son of Megingoz [I], being described as nepos of King Eudes in 892 by Regino (see below). Jackman suggests that the wife of Megingoz [I] was named ROTLIND, whose name is closely associated with the family in the Memorial book of Remiremont[560]. However, it is also possible that Megingoz's relationship to King Eudes was more remote than "uncle" or that he was a maternal relative of the king.]

Megingoz [I] & his wife had [two] children:

1. [MEGINGOZ [II] (-killed 28 Aug 892, bur Trier St Maximin). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. However, his unusual name suggests a close family relationship with Megingoz [I]. The Miraculæ S. Maximi record that "Megingaudo, regni huius duci" was granted the monastery of "abbate Herkenberto", St Maximin from the context, by Emperor Arnulf[561]. Graf von Mayenfeld: "Arnolfus…rex" donated property "in pago Meinifeld…villam Ribanache" to Kloster St Maximin at Trier naming "comes noster…Megingoz" by charter dated 23 Jan 888[562]. "Arnolfus…rex" donated property "in pago Uuormazfelda in comitatu Megingaudi…in villa Dechidestein" to Kloster Fulda on the proposal of "Pobbonis et Deotpoldi [comitum]" by charter dated 21 Jul 889[563]. Regino records that "Megingaudus comes, nepos supradicti Odonis regis" was killed "892 V Kal Sep" by "Alberico in monasterio sancti Xysti quod vocatur Rotila", specifying that he was buried in "Treverim apud sanctum Maximum" and in a later passage that "Arnolfi Zvendiboldo filio" was given the honours of "Megingaudi comitis" in 892[564]. The Annales Einsidlenses record the death in 991 of "Manegold comes"[565]. m as her first husband, GISELA, daughter of ---. The Miraculi Sanctæ Waldburgis names "Gisela matrona pernobilis, uxor Burchardi, Walochonis comitis filii, quæ antea matrimonio iuncta fuerat comitis Megindaudi"[566]. She married secondly Burkhard.

2. [ROBERT . The Miraculæ S. Maximi names "comes…Ruodbertus, germanus…Megingaudi" adding that he governed "in pago Naachgowe Maximii ac Remigii conlimitantia"[567]. Graf im Nahegau. Abbot of Echternach[568].]

1. MEGINGOZ [III] (-Sep 959). The precise relationship between Megingoz [III] and the two earlier counts of the same name has not been ascertained, although the common use of this unusual name suggests a close connection. ["Megingaudus" donated property to the monastery of St Maximin by charter dated 929 which names "uxori quoque meæ Bilidrude et filio meo Godefrido"[569]. This Megingoz is shown (with his wife and son) as holding an interest in Esch an der Sauer, although it is not known whether this is the same person as Megingoz [III].] "Otto…rex" returned property to "germani fratris nostri Heinrici cuidam vassallo illius Megingoz" by charter dated 18 Jul 944[570], at the same time as similar return of property to "Billing". This implies that the property had previously been confiscated from Megingoz following some prior transgression about which no record has yet been found. The Annales Necrologici Fuldenses record the death "959 Sep" of "Megingoz com"[571].

Three brothers, parents not known. Their precise relationship, if any, to the earlier counts named Megingoz has not been established.

1. LANTBERT (-after 4 Feb 966). "Otto…rex" granted property "predium quale Lantberto atque Megingozzo per Emichonem comitem" to the church of Mainz by charter dated 29 May 961[572]. "Otto…imperator augustus" donated property "in pago Nahgeuue…in marca Kira, in Bergon, in Puzuuilarc, in Husonbahc, in Bettonforst" confiscated from "Megingaldus et Reginzo fratres" to Theoderich Archbishop of Trier, except the property retained by "fratri eorum maiori Landberto", by charter dated 4 Feb 966[573].]

2. MEGINGOZ (-after 29 Sep 989). "Otto…rex" granted property "predium quale Lantberto atque Megingozzo per Emichonem comitem" to the church of Mainz by charter dated 29 May 961[574]. "Otto…imperator augustus" donated property "in pago Nahgeuue…in marca Kira, in Bergon, in Puzuuilarc, in Husonbahc, in Bettonforst" confiscated from "Megingaldus et Reginzo fratres" to Theoderich Archbishop of Trier, except the property retained by "fratri eorum maiori Landberto", by charter dated 4 Feb 966[575]. same person as…? MEGINGOZ [IV] (-14 Jan [998]). The precise relationship between Megingoz [IV] and the earlier three counts of the same name has not been identified, although the common use of this unusual name suggests a close connection. "Otto…imperator augustus" gave property "Herebertus dum vixit habere in villis Sowilnheim et in Olmeno in paho Naggowe in comitatu Emechonis comitis" to "fideli nostro Megingozo" Kloster Gandersheim by charter dated 27 Aug 973[576]. "Otto…rex" granted privileges to Kloster Vilich founded by "nobilis vir…Megingoz cum reliosa coniuge sua Gerbirga" by charter dated 18 Jan 987[577]. The Memorial of "Megendaudus…Gerbirga marito" also names "Irmendrudis", recording that she was born with them, presumably indicating that she was their daughter, with the name "Adelheidis abbatissa" recorded at the end out of context[578]. "Geriniu" donated property "in pago Lobodinense et in comitatu Megingaudi in Sahssenheimeromarcum" to Lorsch by charter dated 29 Sep 989[579]. m GERBERGA, daughter of GOTTFRIED Graf [Matfriede] & his wife Ermentrude --- (after 934-[995]). The Vita Adelheidis names "Gerbirg…filia ducis Godefridi" as wife of "Megengoz"[580]. Megingoz [IV] & his wife had eight children:

a) MEGINGOZ [V] . The Vita Adelheidis refers to "quatuor fratres [=Adelheid] unus paterno nomine, alter Heinrici", as well as two unnamed, as sons of "Megengoz" & his wife[581].

b) HEINRICH . The Vita Adelheidis refers to "quatuor fratres [=Adelheid] unus paterno nomine, alter Heinrici", as well as two unnamed, as sons of "Megengoz" & his wife[582].

d) son . The Vita Adelheidis refers to "quatuor fratres [=Adelheid] unus paterno nomine, alter Heinrici", as well as two unnamed, as sons of "Megengoz" & his wife[584].

e) IMIZA [Irmintrudis] ([950/60]-). The Vita Adelheidis names "Irminthrudis, Alverad [et] Berthrada" as the three sisters of Adeleid, daughters of "Megengoz" & his wife, specifying that Irmintrudis was grandmother of "Heinrici magnifici ducis et Adhelberonis Metensis episcopi, Friderici ducis"[585]. Her birth date range is estimated from the birth date of her mother. The Memorial of "Megendaudus…Gerbirga marito" also names "Irmendrudis", recording that she was born with them, presumably indicating that she was their daughter, with the name "Adelheidis abbatissa" recorded at the end out of context[586]. m HERIBERT Pfalzgraf, son of --- (-992).

f) ALBERADA . The Vita Adelheidis names "Irminthrudis, Alverad [et] Berthrada" as the three sisters of Adelheid, daughters of "Megengoz" & his wife, specifying that Alverad had "similiter suæ [=Irminthrudis] posterirum preclaris" without giving details[587].

g) ADELHEID . The Vita Adelheidis names "pater eius comes…Megengoz, mater Girbirg" as parents of Adelheid[588]. The Memorial of "Megendaudus…Gerbirga marito" also names "Irmendrudis", recording that she was born with them, presumably indicating that she was their daughter, with the name "Adelheidis abbatissa" recorded at the end out of context[589].

h) BERTRADA . The Vita Adelheidis names "Irminthrudis, Alverad [et] Berthrada" as the three sisters of Adeleid, daughters of "Megengoz" & his wife, specifying that Bertrada was a nun at Köln, St Maria[590].

3. REGINZO (-after 4 Feb 966). "Otto…imperator augustus" donated property "in pago Nahgeuue…in marca Kira, in Bergon, in Puzuuilarc, in Husonbahc, in Bettonforst" confiscated from "Megingaldus et Reginzo fratres" to Theoderich Archbishop of Trier, except the property retained by "fratri eorum maiori Landberto", by charter dated 4 Feb 966[591].]

C. FAMILY of GRAF WALACHO

The name “Walacho” suggests a possible relationship between the following individuals and the “Matfried” family of Grafen von Metz (see the document UPPER LOTHARINGIA NOBILITY). Insufficient data is available to go beyond speculation about what the precise family connection might have been.

1. WALACHO [Walo] [I] (-before 891). Graf im Nidagau. "Walaho comes" donated property "in pago Nithagowe in Selbahe" to Kloster Bleidenstatt by charter dated 3 Dec 881[592]. Graf im Wormsgau.

1. WALACHO [Walo] [II] (-936). Emperor Arnulf granted property "in comitatu Walahonis in pago Wormazfelda…in villis Oppenheim, Horagaheim nec non in Vuiginisheim" to the church of Worms on the intervention of "Rodharti ministerialis nostri" by charter dated 5 May 897[594]. "Arnolfus…rex" confirmed an exchange including property "in pago Eichesfelden in comitatu Ottonis" between the abbot of Fulda and "Chunrado comite" on the intervention of "Ottonis…marchionis" by charter dated 28 Jan 897[595]. "Adelbero…Augustensis ecclesiæ…præsul" donated property to Lorsch "in pago Rinigouue in comitatum Gebehardi" by charter dated 20 May [896/99], signed by "Cunrado, Walahone, Gebehardo, Ruperto, Liutfrido, Burkardo, Dragebodo comitibus"[596]. Ludwig IV "das Kind" King of Germany donated property "in pago Spiraggoue in comitatu sui senioris" to Wenilo "monacho Walahonis comitis" at Kloster Hornbach, by charter dated 8 Oct 900[597]. Ludwig "das Kind" King of Germany donated property "in pago Spiricovue in comitatu Walahonis in villa…Hasalach" to Kloster Weissenburg at the request of "Chuonrati et Purcharti comitum" by charter dated 5 Feb 902[598]. Hatto Archbishop of Mainz confirmed donations by "Reginbodonem" of property "in pago Glemisgouue in villa vel marcha Hirslanda et in Dicingaom et in Geringon…in comitatu Gozberti comitis" and "in pago Encichgouue in villa vel marcha Audinesheim et in Rutgesingon…in comitatu Walahi comitis" and "in pago Lobodenense in comitatu Liutfridi comitis…Virnunheim" to Lorsch by charter dated 25 Feb 902[599]. [“Walah com. et uxor eius Megina” donated property “Knecegowe, Terhisse, Marbburgehusen et cetera confinia iuxta Moyn fluvium sita” to Fulda monastery[600]. “Wago dei gratia comes” donated property “in villa Votinga” to Fulda monastery[601].] The Annales Necrologici Fuldenses record the death in 936 of "Walager com"[602]. Although this death is recorded 34 years after the last dated reference to Walacho [II], no other “Graf Walacho” has been identified to whom this necrology entry might refer. m ---. The name of Walacho's wife is not known. [It is possible that she was MEGINA, daughter of ---. “Walah com. et uxor eius Megina” donated property “Knecegowe, Terhisse, Marbburgehusen et cetera confinia iuxta Moyn fluvium sita” to Fulda monastery[603], although it is uncertain to which Graf Walacho this donation relates.] Walacho & his wife had [two] children:

a) BURKHARD (-after 28 Oct 905). "Hludowicus…rex" confirmed privileges to Kloster St Gallen by charter dated 24 Jun 903 in which among "fidelium nostrum" was listed "Purchart filius Vualahonis"[604]. Graf von Mayenfeld: "Wuieldrud" donated property to Münster St Martin with the consent of "senioris mariti mei…Hildiberti" by charter dated 28 Oct 905 made "in pago Meginouelt…in comitatu Burchardi comitis"[605]. m (after Aug 892) as her second husband, GISELA, widow of MEGINGOZ, daughter of ---. The Miraculi Sanctæ Waldburgis names "Gisela…uxor Burchardi, Walochonis comitis filii, quæ antea matrimonio iuncta fuerat comitis Megindaudi"[606].

b) [WILTRUD (-933 or after). According to Europäische Stammtafeln[607], the wife of Eberhard may have been Wiltrud, possible daughter of Walacho. Presumably her name is deduced from the charter dated 933 under which "Wiltrud mater Cunradi cum manu eiusdem filii sui" donated "omnem decimationem in Dissermark et in Brubechermark et in Lonstein" to "monasterium…Marcellini et Petri…situm in superiori Mulnheim…Selgenstat nuncupatur"[608]. This charter does not described Konrad as "comes". However, a summary of donations to Kloster Bleidenstatt includes the donation by "Cunradus comes" on the death of "matris sue" of property "domo in qua Huwart vinitor habitat", undated[609]. This latter document does not name Konrad´s mother, but the suggestion is that Konrad may have been the same person as Konrad son of Wiltrud, on the assumption that the properties donated were in the same geographical area. The basis for suggesting that Walacho was Wiltrud´s father is not known. It may be related to the charter dated 5 Feb 902 under which Ludwig "das Kind" King of Germany donated property "in pago Spiricovue in comitatu Walahonis in villa…Hasalach" to Kloster Weissenburg at the request of "Chuonrati et Purcharti comitum"[610]. "Purcharti" was presumably Walacho´s son named Burkhard. It is possible that "Chuonrati" was Walacho´s grandson, son of his daughter Wiltrud, although if this is correct it is unclear why Konrad´s name should have preceded Burkhard´s in the document. Another possibility is that “Chuonrati” in the 5 Feb 902 document was Eberhard’s brother who may have represented the deceased Eberhard’s minor children. m EBERHARD, son of UDO Graf im Lahngau [Konradiner] & his wife (-killed in battle near Bamberg [902/903]).]

The inclusion in this document of Imogen’s consent suggests that she held a direct interest in the property in question. If that is correct, she may have been Konrad’s daughter, presumably from his first marriage. In that case, the properties donated may have formed part of her mother’s dowry.

Werner [IV] & his first wife had eight children:

The primary sources which confirm the precise relationships between the following individuals and the Bolanden family shown above have not been identified. The different possibilities are discussed below.

1. WERNER von Bolanden (-after 20 Jul 1323). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Werner could have been another son of Philipp [II] von Bolanden, the son of Philipp [III] (less likely considering that he is called “Oheim” of Otto von Bruchsal Herr von Bolanden in the 15 Mar 1304 charter quoted below), or the descendant of one of the younger brothers of Philipp [II] who are named below. Provost at St. Victor, canon at Mainz: “Wernherus de Bolandia...præpositus ecclesiæ sancti Victoris canonicus Maguntinus” consented to the integration of “ecclesiam in Alsenzem” with Otterburg monastery by charter dated 1 Dec 1303[710]. “Otto herre fon Bolandin” donated property at “Ossinheim” to Syon monastery, naming “hern Wernhers des Probistis fon Bolandia minis oheymis”, by charter dated 15 Mar 1304[711]. “Wernherus de Bolandia...prepositus ecclesie S. Victoris canonicus Magunt.” consented to the unification of “ecclesiam in Ussenhem” by charter dated 20 Jul 1323[712].

2. [--- von Bolanden . No primary source which confirms the existence of this person has been identified, but the marriage of the Bolanden heiress with the father of Otto von Bruchsal (see below) provides the most likely explanation for his inheritance of Bolanden. If that is correct, she could have been the sister of Werner, provost of St. Victor, shown above, or a more remote relative who was the senior representative of the family. It should be noted that Otto names Provost Werner as his “Oheim” in the 8 Sep 1305 charter quoted below. While the term in its strict sense indicates “uncle”, numerous examples have been found where it indicated an older male relative either from the preceding or even the same generation. m --- von Bruchsal, son of ---.]

The primary source which confirms the parentage of Otto von Bruchsal has not been identified. The most likely possibility is that his mother was heiress of Bolanden, as suggested above.

1. OTTO von Bruchsal (-[1309/16]). Herr von Bolanden. “Otto herre fon Bolandin” donated property at “Ossinheim” to Syon monastery, naming “hern Wernhers des Probistis fon Bolandia minis oheymis”, by charter dated 15 Mar 1304[713]. “Otto von Brusel und eyn herre zu Bolanden” exchanged property with “Herburd fon Dalsheim” by charter dated 8 Sep 1305[714]. m (before Feb 1308) LORETTA Raugräfin, daughter of GEORG [I] Raugraf von Stolzenburg & his wife Margareta von Daun (-after 5 Jul 1332). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the following document: “Otto de Brussella et dominus de Bolandia imperialis aule dapifer” waived the debt from “Martinus Lumbardus residens in Kirberg” by charter dated [end Feb/early Mar] 1308, sealed by “Georgii Rugravii soceri mei et Sifridi militis de Lewinstein”[715]. “Loretta relicta, Phylippus et Otto filii et heredes quondam Ottonis domini in Bolandia pie memorie” granted property to “Herbordum doctum Suzman de Ebernsheim armigerum” by charter dated 13 Dec 1325[716]. “Frauwe Lorette von Bolandin”, widow of “Her Otto von Bruzil unde auch von Bolandin”, donated property to Mainz St Alban, with “juncherre Otto der alste...mine geschwisterde alle” consenting to the donation of “unser muder”, by charter dated 5 Jul 1332[717].

Herr von Bolanden. Herr von Altenbaumburg (a share in which Philipp presumably inherited from his mother’s family): “Conrat von Bolanden pastor zu Aldensiemern” donated “dyesme...zu Kumeden” to Altensimmern church, with the consent of “mynes...bruders hern Philips von Bolanden hern zu Aldenbeymberg”, by charter dated 29 Nov 1362[719].

Chapter 11. GRAFEN von CASTELL

The county of Castell lay east of Würzburg in the south-eastern part of Franconia, in the Steigerwald area within the present-day Oberfranken region in the north-east of Bavaria. An early reference to Castell is found in an undated manuscript records that "Burchardus" destoyed “sue oppidum Kamberc” and founded Kloster Comburg there “in loco qui iuxta Mogontiam Castellum dicitur”, probably dated to the mid-11th century[723]. Primary sources for the Castell family were published by Wittmann in the late 19th century[724].

None of the documents provide any indication which may have been witnessed by Ruprecht [III] or Ruprecht [IV] (see below), resulting in the impossibility of assessing Ruprecht [III]’s date of death with any hope of accuracy on the basis of information available.

Ruprecht [IV] & his wife had [three] children:

a) HEINRICH von Castell (-[before 1235]). He is named in his brother’s 1235 charter quoted below as having consented to their father’s transfer. This suggests that Heinrich may have been their father’s oldest son and heir, presumably died before his brother’s confirmation.

Graf von Castell. “Fridericus comes de Castele” confirmed the transfer by “patris nostri et matris...fratris...nostri Heinrici assensu” of “advocatia nostra in Caldenhusin” to Kloster Ebrach by charter dated 1235[745]. “Fridericus comes de Castela...matris nostre Hedewigis” consented to a property transaction of Kloster Ebrach by charter dated 1240[746]. “Hermannus comes de Hennenberch” protected the church of Bamberg, excepting against “episcopo Herbipolensi et fratre suo comite Henrico de Hennenberch et sororio suo Friderico comite de Kastel...”, by charter dated Sep 1249[747]. “Fridericus comes de Chastel et uxor sua domina Bertha dicta de Hennenberc” sold “bona sua in Stammheim” to five named knights in Würzburg by charter dated 10 Apr 1250[748].

He is named as deceased in the 13 Mar 1314 (presumably O.S.) charter which names his brother Hermann, quoted below. m as her second husband, WENDELA, daughter of --- (-[before 1 May 1322]). Her two marriages are indicated by the following document: “Graf Ruprecht von Chastel und mein hausvrauwe...Wendel und ier tochter vrawe Anna” renounced rights over “die vogtay auf dem Remsnich” [Remschnigg bei Mahrenberg] donated to Kloster St. Paul in Styria by “Offe von Emmerberch”, by charter dated 12/14 Jul 1311, sealed by “grafen Hainreich von Hohenloch und seiner hausvrauwen...Elspeten...Fridreich...von Heunenburch [Heunberg]...”[786]. Remschnigg is named in a charter of Friedrich Archbishop of Salzburg dated 13 Apr 1280[787]. Unfortunately the earlier document provides no further details of families involved in the donations recorded, but the two documents together suggest that Wendel’s family originated in Styria/Carinthia. A connection with the Grafen von Heunberg is suggested by the seals to the 12/14 Jul 1311 document, as well as the 1 May 1322 charter quoted below. The latter document suggests that Wendela was deceased at the time, her daughter being cared for by her Hohenlohe/Heunberg relatives. Ruprecht [V] & his wife had one child:

a) ADELHEID von Castell (-after 1 May 1322). Nun at Marnberg: “Hainreich von Hohenloch und mein wirtin grevin Elspet” donated property for “unser...mümen swester Alhaiten graf Ruprehten tochter von Chastel, die da got dient datz Merenberch in dem chloster” by charter dated 1 May 1322[788].

7. HERMANN von Castell (-before 30 Mar 1331). There are contradictory indications regarding the identity of Hermann’s mother. His relationship with the Nürnberg family of his father’s second wife is indicated by the 11 Nov 1321 charter quoted below and by the 29 Jun 1334 marriage contract of his daughter Agnes (see below). On the other hand, Hermann’s relationship with the Oettingen family of his father’s first wife is indicated by the second charter dated 24 Jul 1321. The 1 Sep 1322 charter quoted below indicates that Hermann was younger than his first cousin Friedrich [IV]. Graf von Castell. “Fridericus, Rupertus et Hermannus...comites de Kastel” donated property to Ebrach at the request of “quondam Friderici militis de Spiezheim” by charter dated 1308[789]. “Hainrich von Hohenloch und...grefinne Elsebete des vorgenanten herren...husfrauwe” guaranteed property “ze Volkach” to “unser...oheim grave Hermanne von Kastel und unser...muem grefin Margrete sin...wirtin”, inherited after “ir brueder toede graven Rueprehtes von Kastel”, by charter dated 13 Mar 1314[790]. Hermann’s family relationship with Heinrich Graf von Hohenlohe has not been ascertained, but the inclusion of both Heinrich’s and Hermann’s wives in this document suggests a relationship between the two women. “Rupertus et Hermannus...comites de Kastel” confirmed that “frater noster frater Heinricus ordinis fratrum sancti Joannis hospitalensium” had sold “mansum in villa superiori Volckach” to Kloster St Mark near Würzburg by charter dated 29 Sep 1314[791]. “Groue Hermann von Kastel” confirmed his friendship with “Heinrichen von Hohenloch und siner...Wirtin Elsebeten”, in the presence of “...Burgrauen Friderichen von Nurenberch sinem...Oheim”, with the consent of “frawen Margereten siner...wirtin”, by charter dated 5 May 1318[792]. “Graue Hermann von Kastel udn Margret Greuinne ze Kastel” swore allegiance to “Burcgrave Fridrich ze Nurenberg” by charter dated 24 Jul 1321[793]. “Ludwig grave ze Otinge” noted that “grave Herman von Kastel unser...oheim” had requested assurances relating to the previous charter, by a second charter dated 24 Jul 1321[794]. Graf Hermann named “purcgraqve Friderich ze Nurenberg unsern oheim” in a charter dated 11 Nov 1321[795]. He is named as deceased in a charter dated 30 Mar 1331[796]. m (before 13 Mar 1314) MARGARETA von Burgau, daughter of HEINRICH [VI] Markgraf von Burgau & his wife Margareta von Hohenberg (-after 1 Sep 1322). “Hainrich von Hohenloch und...grefinne Elsebete des vorgenanten herren...husfrauwe” guaranteed property “ze Volkach” to “unser...oheim grave Hermanne von Kastel und unser...muem grefin Margrete sin...wirtin” by charter dated 13 Mar 1314[797]. Margareta’s family origin is confirmed by the 1 Sep 1322 charter quoted below. Although the source which confirms her precise parentage has not been identified, the chronology indicates that she was the daughter of Markgraf Heinrich [VI]. “Groue Hermann von Kastel” confirmed his friendship with “Heinrichen von Hohenloch und siner...Wirtin Elsebeten”, in the presence of “...Burgrauen Friderichen von Nurenberch sinem...Oheim”, with the consent of “frawen Margereten siner...wirtin”, by charter dated 5 May 1318[798]. “Graue Hermann von Kastel udn Margret Greuinne ze Kastel” swore allegiance to “Burcgrave Fridrich ze Nurenberg” by charter dated 24 Jul 1321[799]. “Grave Friderich der elter und grave Herman der junger von Castel...gesammeter...unser...frawen...Elsebeten von Norrenberg und...Margareten von Burgawe” confirmed property by charter dated 1 Sep 1322[800]. Hermann & his wife had one child:

a) AGNES von Castell (-after 14 Sep 1365). The marriage contract between “Gotfrit von Hohenloch von Brunegge genant und...Margret unser...wirttein...unserm sun Gotfriden” and “burggraven Johansen von Nuremberch...sein mumen vrowen Agnesen graven Hermannis seligen tohter von Kasttel” is dated 29 Jun 1334, in the presence of “unser...freunt hern Albreht von Hohenloch tumbrobst, Emchen unsern bruder, Andres von Brunecge unsern vetern tumherren ze Wirczburck, Albrehten von Hohenloch von Mecgenmul genant, Craften und Ludwigen von Hohenloch, unsern vetern, graven Herman von Kasttel unser swestter sun...”[801]. “Gotfrit von Hohenloch von Brunegke genannt und Agnes seine Hausfrau geborne Gräfin von Kastel” confirmed donations to Kloster Frauenthal made by “Albrecht von Hohenloch Bischof zu Würzburg” by charter dated 14 Sep 1365[802]. m (contract 29 Jun 1334) GOTTFRIED von Hohenlohe Herr von Brauneck, son of GOTTFRIED von Hohenlohe Herr von Brauneck & his wife --- (-[1367/68]).

8. HEINRICH von Castell (-after 4 Jun 1319). Heinrich was presumably a younger brother of Hermann. If that is correct, he was probably born from the same marriage of his father, the difficulty in identifying their mother being discussed above under Hermann. Knight Hospitaller: “Rupertus et Hermannus...comites de Kastel” confirmed that “frater noster frater Heinricus ordinis fratrum sancti Joannis hospitalensium” had sold “mansum in villa superiori Volckach” to Kloster St Mark near Würzburg by charter dated 29 Sep 1314[803]. Komtur of the Knights Hospitaller at Bybelrieth: “Herman...greve ze Kastel und...Margrethe unser...wirtin” sold “unser dorf Füterse” to Kloster Ebrach, with the consent of “unsers...bruderz greven Heinrichz der comentur ze Bybelrieth...und unserz...swagers...Albrehtez von Hohenloch und...Hedewige unserr...swester sinr...wirtin”, by charter dated 9 Aug 1317[804].

Graf von Castell. “Bertha comitissa de Castele cum Friderico et Hermanno comitibus filius suis” donated property “in Svebeheim” to “monasterio Ebracensi”, for the salvation of “mariti Friderici quondam comitis”, by charter dated 1254[807]. A charter dated to [1258] records the division of territories agreed between “fratrum comitem de Castele”, specifying the division between “senior comes...juniorio comiti”[808]. “Hermannus comes junior de Castele et uxor mea Sophya” sold “Schalkevelt” to Kloster Ebrach by charter dated 26 Mar 1268[809]. “Heinricus et Hermannus fratres comites de Castel” donated “ius patronatus parochiæ in Herelheim” to Kloster Meidebrunnen by charter dated 3/9 May 1271[810]. Hermann is not named in later charters in Wittmann’s compilation so presumably died soon after this date.

m (before 21 Jul 1264) SOPHIE von Wildberg, daughter of MANGOLD Graf von Wildberg & his wife --- (-after 26 Mar 1268). Her parentage is indicated by the following document: “Sophie comitisse de Kastel, Adelheidis uxoris viri nobilis Cunradi de Trimperch et Agnetis, filiarum suarum” assisted in a charter dated 21 Jul 1264 under which Iring Bishop of Würzburg received property “in Hagenbuch” from “Graf Manegold von Wilperch”[811]. “Heinricus et Hermannus nobiles de Castele”, acting through “dominarum Sophiæ et Sophiæ uxorem suarum”, sold “decimam in villa Ergeshem” to the Knights of St. John by charter dated 13 Feb 1265[812]. “Hermannus comes junior de Castele et uxor mea Sophya” sold “Schalkevelt” to Kloster Ebrach by charter dated 26 Mar 1268[813].

Walter Abbot of Schwarzach renounced rights in favour of “Leugarten grefin zu Kastel und...grafen Johansen und grafen Wilhelme iren sunen” by charter dated 13 Aug 1373[838]. Their mother’s involvement in these two charters suggests that both her sons were minors at the time. “Wilhelm grave zu Kastel” sold property to “unser...swester frauwen Alheyden unsers...vettern graven Fridrichs von Kastel seligen...wirtin”, with the consent of “unsers...bruder graven Johans von Kastel”, by charter dated 6 Apr 1381[839].

Peter his named s deceased in the 8 Jun 1378 charter of his daughter Katharina, quoted below.

i) [BENIGNA von Castell (-after 20 Mar 1391). “Benigna grefin zu Kastel und Hans Plümlin” reached agreement about her rights with “Fridrich grafen zu Kastel...[und] hern Fridrichs...wirtin...Adelheiden von Nassauwe” by charter dated 18 Feb 1376[877].

Chapter 13. GRAFEN von ENZBERG

1. ZEIZOLF [II] (-after 5 May 1072). "Heinricus…rex" granted the right to a market in "in villa Sunninheim in pago Elisincigowe et in comitatu eiusdem Zeizolfi comitis" to "Zeizolfo fideli nostro" by an undated charter, grouped in the compilation with charters dated 1066[976]. "Ceizzolfus comes" subscribed the charter dated 5 May 1072 under which Siegfried Archbishop of Metz attested the destruction of the chapel of Ravensgirburg[977]. m ---. The name of Zeizolf's wife is not known. Graf Zeizolf [II] & his wife had [two] children:

a) [WOLFRAM (-after Oct 1104, bur Sunnesheim). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. However, it is probable that he was the son of Graf Zeizolf [II]. Not only did Wolfram name his own son Zeizolf ([III]), but also Wolfram's son Johann is shown in his charter dated 6 Jan 1100 to have owned property in "in pago Elisincigowe" like his presumed paternal grandfather. The Annales Spirenses name "Wolframi comitis Arduenne" specifying that he had "multos comitatus…in Creychouwe et Enzeburch" and that "de genere illorum venit Kestenburc et Meystersel et Diethensheim ecclesie Spirensi"[978]. The Annales Spirenses record the burial of "pater suus [=episcopi Iohannis Spirensis] Wolframus comes" at Sunnesheim, specifying that he died after his son[979].] m ADELA, [illegitimate] daughter of Emperor HEINRICH III King of Germany & his [mistress ---] ([1045] or before-24 Sep, 1104 or before, bur Sunnesheim). The Annales Spirenses name "Azela sorore Heinrici senioris [=Heinrici IV]" as wife of "Wolframi comitis Arduenne"[980]. Her birth date range is estimtated on the assumption that the age of her son John is correct when he died as shown below. Assuming that her paternity is correctly stated, her absence from other records and her comparatively obscure marriage suggest that she was illegitimate. Emperor Heinrich IV, who would have been Adela's half-brother if the relationship is correctly stated above, made numerous donations to Speyer cathedral between 1091 and 1105, during the bishopric of Adela's son Johann. However, in none of these is any blood relationship with the bishop directly mentioned by using words such as "consanguineus" or "propinquus". Nevertheless, in the emperor's donation dated 21 Sep 1091 he calls Bishop Johann "fidele servicium carissimi", a phrase which appears more intimate than those usually seen in imperial donations to episcopacies and which could be consistent with family relationship[981]. The necrology of Speyer records the death "VIII Kal Oct" of "Azela comitissa" and that "Iohannes Spir. epus" donated "Steinwilre" for her soul[982]. The Annales Spirenses record the burial of "matrem [=episcope Iohannis Spirensis] Azelam" at Sunnesheim, implying that she died before her son[983]. Graf Wolfram & his wife had four children:

i) ZEIZOLF [III] (-21 Aug [1091/99], bur Sunnesheim). The Annales Spirenses name "episcopi Iohannis Spirensis" as brother of "Ceizolfus comes"[984]. Graf im Kraichgau. The Annales Spirenses record the burial of "fratrem [=episcope Iohannis Spirensis] Ceyzolfum comitem" at Sunnesheim, implying that he died before his brother[985]. The necrology of Speyer records the death "XII Kal Sep" of "Ceizzolfus comes" and that "cuius frater Iohannes Spir. epus" donated "Steinwilre" for his soul[986]. The date of his death and place of burial are established by the charter dated 6 Jan 1100 under which "Iohannes…Spirensis ecclesie presul" founded the abbey of Sunnesheim, naming "…fratris mei comitis Ceizzolfi ibidem sepulti…"[987]. m ---. The name of Zeizolf's wife is not known. Zeizolf & his wife had [two] children:

(a) ADELHEID von Enzberg (-11 Mar 1122, bur Kloster Sinsheim). The Annales Spirenses name "Adilheidis comitissa filius Ceizolfus comes" as wife of "Heinricum palatinum in Tuwingen", specifying that she was childless[988]. "Iohannes…Spirensis ecclesie presul" founded the abbey of Sunnesheim "in proprio allodio meo in pago Elezengowi in comitatu comitis Brunonis", with the support of "herede mea filia…fratris mei comitis Ceizzolfi ibidem sepulti dicta Adelheid", by charter dated 6 Jan 1100, which names "… Zeizolfi fratris mei, Adelheidis et Iudde filiarum predicti fratris mei"[989]. The Annales Spirenses record that "Adilheydis comitissa" travelled to Rome after the death of her uncle Bishop Johann to request his absolution from Pope Pascal II for having supported Emperor Heinrich "in scismate", which was granted on payment of a fine[990]. The necrology of Speyer records the death "V Id Apr" of "Adilheidis comitissa"[991]. The Chronicle of Sinsheim records the death in 1122 of "comitissa Adelheidis…benefactrix huius ecclesie" and her burial in the church between "Frideradam amitam patris sui et Adelam, Mechtildem et alias consanguineas suas"[992]. m [firstly] HEINRICH Graf von Tübingen, son of --- (-before 1103). [m secondly SIEGFRIED, son of --- (-after Oct 1104). The Annales Spirenses record the burial of "Sifridus comes et sancta Adelheidis comitissa" at Sunnesheim, specifying that they died after Johann Bishop of Speyer[993]. The relationship between Siegfried and the other members of this family is not specified. However, the charter dated 6 Jan 1100 under which "Iohannes…Spirensis ecclesie presul" founded the abbey of Sunnesheim names "… Zeizolfi fratris mei, Adelheidis et Iudde filiarum predicti fratris mei"[994]. It is therefore unlikely that Siegfried was the son of Graf Zeizolf. The most likely explanation for his burial at Sunnesheim is that he was the second husband of Adelheid.]

(b) JUDITH (-after 6 Jan 1100). "Iohannes…Spirensis ecclesie presul" founded the abbey of Sunnesheim by charter dated 6 Jan 1100, which names "…Zeizolfi fratris mei, Adelheidis et Iudde filiarum predicti fratris mei"[995].

ii) JOHANN ([1062/63]-26 Oct 1104, bur Sunnesheim). The Annales Spirenses name "episcopi Iohannis Spirensis" as son of "Wolframi comitis Arduenne", specifying that he was "Sunnisheim archidiaconus" and that "Heinricus senior" installed "filio sororis sue" as Bishop of Speyer "dum esset puer[996], although the latter description must be an exaggeration assuming that Johann's age at death is correct as stated in a later passage. Bishop of Speyer 1090. "Iohannes…Spirensis ecclesie presul" founded the abbey of Sunnesheim "in proprio allodio meo in pago Elezengowi in comitatu comitis Brunonis", with the support of "herede mea filia…fratris mei comitis Ceizzolfi ibidem sepulti dicta Adelheid", and donated property to the new foundation "in pago Elezengowi…in pago Cregowi, in pago Enzgowi in comitatu comitis Brunonis…in pago Hedenegowe in comitatu comite Godefridi…in pago Spirgowi in comitatu Spirensi episcopi…in pago Nachowi…[et] in pago Wormesfelt in comitatu comitis Emechonis", by charter dated 6 Jan 1100, which names "Wolframmi patris mei, Azele matris mea, Zeizolfi fratris mei, Adelheidis et Iudde filiarum predicti fratris mei"[997]. The Annales Spirenses record the death of "episcopi Iohannis Spirensis" after 16 years in office, and his burial at Sunnesheim with his parents, specifying that he was 41 years old[998]. The necrology of Speyer records the death "VII Kal Oct" of "Iohannes Spir. epus et Wolframus frater eius"[999].

iii) WOLFRAM (-1 Dec [1090/1104]). The necrology of Speyer records the death "VII Kal Oct" of "Iohannes Spir. epus et Wolframus frater eius"[1000]. The necrology of Speyer records the death "Kal Dec" of "Wolframus comes" and that "Iohannes Spir. epus" donated "Steinwilre" for his soul[1001]. It is assumed that the latter entry relates to the brother of Bishop Johann not his father as another source, quoted above, indicates that the bishop predeceased his father.

iv) JUTTA (-2 Sep [1090/1104]). The necrology of Speyer records the death "IV Non Sep" of "Iudda comitissa" and that "Iohannes Spir. epus" donated "Steinwilre" for her soul[1002]. The title “comitissa” suggests that she had been married to a count, who has not been identified. [m ---.]

b) [FRIDERADA (-bur Kloster Sinsheim). The Chronicle of Sinsheim records the death in 1122 of "comitissa Adelheidis…benefactrix huius ecclesie" and her burial in the church between "Frideradam amitam patris sui et Adelam, Mechtildem et alias consanguineas suas"[1003]. It is assumed that "amita" should be interpreted as paternal aunt in this document, as she is not known among the maternal family of Graf Zeizolf [III].]

Chapter 14. HERREN von HOHENLOHE

A. HERREN von WEIKERSHEIM, HERREN von HOHENLOHE

Hohenlohe was located in the south-east of the German sub-province of Eastern Franconia, adjoining the duchies of Swabia and Bavaria. It lay in the area of the ancient pagus of Sualafeld, although the pagi had ceased to hold much administrative significance by the mid-12th century when the Hohenlohe family first emerges from the primary sources. Ecclesiastically, it was within the jurisdiction of the bishopric of Würzburg and the early charters suggest that the bishop was suzerain of the family´s territories. The early history of the family can be reconstructed from charters which were collected in the late 19th century by Weller[1004]. The family was first called by the name of the town of Weikersheim. The reference to Hohenlohe, a castle close to the town of Uffenheim, first appears in a charter dated 1170. No indication has been found of the previous origin of the brothers Konrad and Heinrich von Weikersheim, who are first named in a charter dated 1153. Their names were too common in early 12th century Germany to render useful any speculation about possible family links to earlier comital families. The Hohenlohe territories were near to the county of Wertheim, with which a connection is possible but unprovable. Little information can be gleaned from the charters dated between the mid-12th and early 13th centuries, references being limited to participation as witnesses for the bishops of Würzburg, dukes of Swabia, and Grafen von Wertheim. The family´s subsequent rise to prominence in the early 13th century can be traced to their links with the Order of Teutonic Knights, to the patronage of Emperor Friedrich II, and to two fortunate marriages as a result of which it expanded its property base.

The family´s first connection with the Teutonic Knights is noted in 1215, followed closely be the entry of Andreas von Hohenlohe into the Order in 1219. His half-brothers Heinrich and Friedrich, although barely out of childhood, became knights in the following year and Heinrich quickly rose to prominence in the Order, being appointed preceptor and in 1243 Grand Master. The donations to the Order by the Hohenlohe brothers on their enrollment were confirmed by the bishop of Würzburg and by Friedrich II King of Germany, before his coronation as emperor in late 1220. From 1224 until the end of his reign, the two brothers Gottfried and Konrad von Hohenlohe were frequently named in the emperor´s charters. Konrad was appointed by the emperor as Conte di Molise in southern Italy in late 1229, and throughout the first half of the decade of the 1230s both brothers are referred to in imperial charters as Conti di Romagna. Both brothers inherited considerable properties through their marriages into the Bochsberg and Büdingen families, and in the latter 13th and early 14th centuries marriages were arranged between members of the Hohenlohe family and many of prominent comital families in southern Germany. By 1277, Ludwig II Duke of Bavaria, Pfalzgraf am Rhein was suzerain of the Herren von Hohenlohe, as shown by a charter dated 29 Apr 1277[1005].

m firstly ---. The name of Heinrich´s first wife is not known.

m secondly as her first husband, ADELHEID, daughter of ---. The charter dated 22 Dec 1219 quoted below[1031], in which Heinrich´s sons "nobiles pueri de Hohenloch Heinricus et Fridericus" are named, suggests that they must have been considerably younger than their brothers "Gotefridus et Cunradus…sorore sua Kunigunda" and therefore probably born from a second marriage of their father. She married secondly (before 1220) Konrad Graf von Lobenhausen. Otto Bishop of Würzburg confirmed an exchange of property made between the Teutonic Knights and "nobilis matrona Adelheidis mater puerorum de Hohenloch, cum marito suo comite Cunrado de Lobenhusen", by charter dated 1220[1032].

d) KUNIGUNDE von Hohenlohe . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated Aug 1253 under which "Gotfridus comes de Lewenstein" acknowledged an obligation relating to property in Röttingen and Strüth to "socerum meum dominum Gotfridum de Hohinloch" relating to his marriage with "filie sue Cunigundi coniugi mee"[1068]. m as his first wife, GOTTFRIED Graf von Löwenstein, son of GOTTFRIED [II] Graf von Löwenstein & his wife [Ruthina von Beilstein-Wölfsölden] (-1278 or after).

"Godefridus de Brunecken…collectalis nostre Elysabeth" donated property to the Teutonic Knights by charter dated 12 Dec 1279, witnessed by "frater Hermannus de Hohenloch patruus noster…"[1071].

It is not known whether "filius" in this document is an error for "filii" and that Gottfried was therefore another son of Heinrich von Hohenlohe". This interpretation is implied by the reference to "avunculo nostro", implying that he was uncle of both, which would not of course be the case if Gottfried was the paternal uncle of Heinrich.]

"Gotfridus et Heinricus filius Heinrici quondam de Hohinloch" granted property "in villis Rode et Libelahes", bought together with "avunculo nostro de Trymperg", to "Hartmanno et Heinrico fratribus Geilnhusensibus" by charter dated 4 Oct 1267[1247].

c) GEBHARD von Hohenlohe (-3 Nov [1300]). "Domino meo Heinrico de Brunecke…cum fratre suo domino Gebehardo necnon omnibus dominis meis de Hohenloh" consented to the donation of property to the Teutonic Order at Mergentheim made by "Hiltebrandus de Sauwensheim" by charter dated 2 Mar 1269[1263].

The anniversary book of the Teutonic Order at Mergentheim records the death "III Non Nov" of "dominus Ghebehardus de Brunecke" and his donation[1266]. m ADELHEID von Taufers, daughter of ULRICH von Taufers & his wife ---. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated [end 1278] under which "G. de Brunek" named "soceri nostri domini Ul. de Toufers"[1267].

"Adelheidis relicta quondam nobilis…domini Gebehardi de Hohenloch dicti de Brunecke et Ulricus filius eiusdem" confirmed donations to Würzburg by charter dated 9 Nov 1300[1269]. Gebhard & his wife had two children:

i) ULRICH [I] von Hohenlohe (-before 1332). "Adelheidis relicta quondam nobilis…domini Gebehardi de Hohenloch dicti de Brunecke et Ulricus filius eiusdem" confirmed donations to Würzburg by charter dated 9 Nov 1300[1270]. m MECHTILD von Weinsberg, daughter of KONRAD [IV] von Weinsberg & his first wife Liutgard von Neuffen. Konrad [IV] von Weinsberg bequeathed property to “siner tochter...Mechtilde van Brunecke”, undated[1271]. Ulrich [I] & his wife had children:

(a) ULRICH [II] von Hohenlohe (-1345). m firstly ---. m secondly (before 1 Jun 1337) as her third husband, ADELHEID von Hohenlohe, widow firstly of KONRAD [V] "der Schrimpf" Graf von Oettingen, and secondly of LUDWIG [V] Graf von Rieneck, daughter of KRAFT [I] von Hohenlohe-Weikersheim & his second wife Margareta von Truhendingen (-after 1340).

ii) HEINRICH von Hohenlohe (-before 1350).

d) [ADELHEID von Hohenlohe (-after 25 Nov 1323). "Gerhardus comes in Rineke…cum Alheide de Bruneke nostra legitima" donated property to Kloster Schönau by charter dated 1 May 1291[1272]. The parentage of Adelheid is unspecified, but it is reasonable from a chronological point of view to suppose that she was the daughter of Heinrich von Hohenlohe-Brauneck. “Alheitt Grefine zu Rineck Widtwe, etwan...Hausfraw Hern Gerharts selgen Grafen zu Rineck" sold property to Kloster Schönau, with the consent of “Ludewigs unnsers Sunes, Elsen seiner...Hawsfrawen, Heynrich unnsers Sunes, Alheiden seiner...Hawsfrawen, Graffen zu Ryeneck”, by charter dated 1319[1273]. “Sigillis dominorum Ludwici et Heinrici fratrum comitum de Ryenecke et Adelheydis genitricis eorum" sealed the charter dated 25 Nov 1323 under which “Agnes relicta quondam Heinrici dicti Seyse de Ryeneke” donated property to Schönau[1274]. m GERHARD [IV] Graf von Rieneck, son of LUDWIG [II] Graf von Rieneck [Looz] & his wife Adelheid von Henneberg (-[19 May 1295/6 Jun 1296]).]

2. KONRAD von Hohenlohe (-after 1251). "Conradus de Hohinloch" acknowledged a debt towards "coniugi sue --- et…filiis Heinrico et Conrado" by charter dated 8 Mar 1247[1275]. m [--- von Henneberg], daughter of [POPPO [VII] Graf von Hennberg] & [his second wife Jutta von Thüringen]. The charter dated 13 Apr 1287, under which "Henricus comes de Kastelle et C. de Tekke" settled disputes with "Hermannum, Henricum fratres necnon Bertoldum comites de Hennenberg avunculos nostros"[1276], indicates that the wife of Konrad von Hohenlohe was related to the Grafen von Henneberg. The word "avunculos" suggests that the brothers were the maternal uncles of the issuers of the charter. However, from a chronological point of view, this is unsatisfactory: the marriage date of Konrad von Teck [Hohenlohe], son of Konrad von Hohenlohe, suggests that he was born in [1245/60]. This would place the birth of his mother in [1225/45], indicating that she was of the same generation as the Henneberg brothers. It is therefore likely that "avunculos" in the 1287 document should be interpreted as meaning "older first cousins". If this is correct, the mother of Konrad von Teck was probably the paternal aunt of the Henneberg brothers, and a sister (more likely half-sister, given the chronology) of Bertha von Henneberg who was the mother of Heinrich Graf von Castell, the other issuer of the 1287 charter. This does not explain why her son was called “von Teck”. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. Konrad & his wife had one child:

a) KONRAD von Teck (-[26 Jul/28 Sep] 1290). "Henricus et Gotfridus fratres de Hohinloch" granted property to "Hartmanno et Heinrico fratribus dictis de Eckin" by charter dated 25 May 1259, which provides for future confirmation by "Conradus filius fratris nostri" when he reached the age of majority[1277].

"Conradus nobilis de Tecke" compensated damage to Kloster Ebrach by charter dated 26 Jul 1290[1282]. Heinrich Landgraf von Hessen confirmed donations to Hochstift Würzburg of property of "Conradus de Theke" held from "dem Grafen von Ziegenhain suo sororio ac nostro genero" in case Konrad died without heirs, by charter dated 28 Sep 1290[1283]. Eufemia Abbess of Ritzingen confirmed property of "domini Craftoni de Hoello…Cunrado suo filio" obtained before the death of "nobilis viri Cunradi de Tekke pie memorie" by charter dated 28 Sep 1290[1284]. m (before 1 Apr 1278) --- von Ziegenhain, daughter of GOTTFRIED Graf von Ziegenhain & his wife ---. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1 Apr 1278 under which "Cunradus de Bruneke dictus de Decke" promised help if "Godefridum natum quondam nobilis viri Godefridi comitis de Cygenhain sororium meum" died without heirs[1285].

3. ANDREAS von Hohenlohe (-after 1245). Hermann Bishop of Würzburg appointed "Andream filium nobilis viri Cunradi de Hohinloch" as provost of Würzburg by charter dated 26 May 1245[1286].

4. MECHTILD von Hohenlohe (-1293). Pope Innocent IV granted dispensation for the marriage of "M. der Witwe des Pfalzgrafen K. von Tübingen" and "dem edlen Herrn R. von Dürn", despite her two husbands being in 4^o consanguinity, dated 10 Dec 1253[1287]. “Rupertus de Durne communicata manu uxoris mee Mehtildis” donated “duas partes decime in Ruchesheim” to Seligenthal by charter dated 28 Aug 1277, sealed by “Ulrici fratris mei et Bopponis fratruelis mei”[1288]. “Rupertus de Durna” confirmed donations of vines to Amorbach, for the souls of “conjugis nostre quondam domine Methildis nobilis de Brunecke”, with the consent of “Ruperti nati nostri”, by charter dated 1303[1289]. m firstly KONRAD [I] Pfalzgraf von Tübingen, son of HUGO [V] Pfalzgraf von Tübingen & his wife --- (-before 1253). m secondly (Papal dispensation 10 Dec 1253) RUPRECHT von Dürn, son of KONRAD [I] Herr von Dürn & his wife Mechtild von Laufen (-1303 or after).

5. GOTTFRIED von Hohenlohe (-1312). "…Henricus et Godefridus fratres de Brunbeke…" confirmed a donation to Kloster Haina by charter dated 5 Nov 1258[1290]. "Heinricus de Hohenloch", naming "Gotfridum de Hohenloch patruum meum" as substitute, promised the Teutonic Order that "Gebehardum fratrem meum, postquam domum redierit" would not oppose the sale of property by "Hiltebrandi militis" by charter dated 6 Mar 1269[1291]. "Gotfridus de Hohenloh" confirmed that "Gebehardum fratruelem meum" would not oppose the sale of property to the Teutonic Order made by "Hiltibrando milite de Sauwensheim" by charter dated 8 May 1269[1292]. "Godefridus nobilis de Brunecke et --- uxor nostra" sold property at Bachgau and "circa Mogum…in Niderburg, Walestat, Ostheim, Plumheim et in Ringenheim" to Stift Aschaffenburg by charter dated 1272[1293]. "Godefridus de Brunecken…collectalis nostre Elysabeth" donated property to the Teutonic Knights by charter dated 12 Dec 1279, witnessed by "frater Hermannus de Hohenloch patruus noster…"[1294]. "Gotfridus de Bruneke" sold property in Sechselbach to Kloster Frauenthal, with the consent of "uxoris nostre Elizabeth…filii nostri Andree", by charter dated 18 Aug 1284[1295]. "Gotfridus de Brunecke…et Elisabet uxor nostra" sold property in Waldmannshofen to Kloster Heilsbronn, with the consent of "Andree, Gotfridi, Cunradi et Emichen filiorum nostrorum, Elizabet et Wilbirg filiarum nostrarum", by charter dated 21 Jun 1293[1296]. “Gotfridus dominus de Brunecken, domina Elizabeht conthoralis nostra et Andrea filius noster” confirmed the dower granted by “Heinrico dicto de Ronnenburg, Cunegundis uxoris sue” by charter dated 21 Sep 1301, witnessed by “...Gotfridus filius noster...”[1297]. m firstly WILLIBIRG, daughter of --- (-[1272/78]). "Willeburgis collateralis nobilis viri Godefridi de Brunecke" confirmed the sale of property at Bachgau and "circa Mogum…in Niderburg, Walestat, Ostheim, Plumheim et in Ringenheim" to Stift Aschaffenburg made by "maritus meus predictus" by charter dated Apr 1273, witnessed by "patruus meus Crafto de Hohenloch…matertera mea Willeberga ipsius collateralis…"[1298]. This charter suggests that Willibirg was related in her own right to Kraft von Hohenlohe and his first wife Willibirg von Wertheim. The chronology is unfavourable for Kraft to have been her "patruus" by blood. The more likely case therefore is that Willibirg was a member of the family of the Grafen von Wertheim. m secondly (before 12 Dec 1279) ELISABETH, daughter of --- (-after 21 Sep 1301). "Godefridus de Brunecken…collectalis nostre Elysabeth" donated property to the Teutonic Knights by charter dated 12 Dec 1279, witnessed by "frater Hermannus de Hohenloch patruus noster…"[1299]. "Gotfridus de Brunecke…et Elisabet uxor nostra" sold property in Waldmannshofen to Kloster Heilsbronn, with the consent of "Andree, Gotfridi, Cunradi et Emichen filiorum nostrorum, Elizabet et Wilbirg filiarum nostrarum", by charter dated 21 Jun 1293[1300]. “Gotfridus dominus de Brunecken, domina Elizabeht conthoralis nostra et Andrea filius noster” confirmed the dower granted by “Heinrico dicto de Ronnenburg, Cunegundis uxoris sue” by charter dated 21 Sep 1301, witnessed by “...Gotfridus filius noster...”[1301]. The primary source which confirms the parentage of Gottfried’s second wife has not been identified. [According to Lehmann, she was Elisabeth von Falkenstein, daughter of Philipp [II] von Falkenstein Herr zu Münzenberg & his wife Gisela ---, adding that she married secondly “Herrn Reinhart von Westerburg”[1302]. If that information is correct, Elisabeth’s second husband was Reinhard [I] Herr von Westerburg,. This information, which has not otherwise been verified, seems surprising considering that Elisabeth and her [first] husband were married for at least 23 years, her age therefore reducing the likelihood of having children by a second marriage. Her [second] husband would, in addition, have been considerably younger than Elisabeth.] Gottfried & his first wife had six children:

a) ANDREAS von Brauneck (-1318). "Gotfridus de Bruneke" sold property in Sechselbach to Kloster Frauenthal, with the consent of "uxoris nostre Elizabeth…filii nostri Andree", by charter dated 18 Aug 1284[1303].

"Graf Friedrich von Castell und seine Gattin Wilpirgis" consented to a sale of property in Opferbaum to Kloster Himmelspforten by charter dated 1 May 1289[1312]. "Gotfridus de Brunecke…et Elisabet uxor nostra" sold property in Waldmannshofen to Kloster Heilsbronn, with the consent of "Andree, Gotfridi, Cunradi et Emichen filiorum nostrorum, Elizabet et Wilbirg filiarum nostrarum", by charter dated 21 Jun 1293[1313]. "Graf Friedrich von Castell und seine Gattin Elisabeth" sold property to the Knights of St John of Jerusalem, with the consent of "Friderici canonici ecclesie Babenbergensis, Hermanni et Elizabeth, nostrorum liberorum nostri Friderici predicti habitorum cum Wildeberg de Brunecke priore nostra conthorali", by charter dated 21 Feb 1326[1314]. m (before 1 May 1289) as his first wife, FRIEDRICH [IV] Graf von Castell, son of HERMANN Graf von Castell & his wife Sophie von Wildberg (-before 28 Aug 1350).

Dillenius names “Luitgardis Tochter des Walther Schenk von Limpurg” as the wife of Konrad [I] and founder of Kloster Lichtenstern[1383], which at first sight appears to contradict the indication of the 1255 charter unless Engelhard [III] married another member of the Limpurg family. m --- ENGELHARD [III] von Weinsberg, son of ENGELHARD [II] von Weinsberg & his wife [Jutta ---] (-after 1242).]

As noted above, there appears to be some chronological doubt about the accuracy of this report. In particular, it is unlikely that the mistress of Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony could have been the sister of the wife of Gerhard Graf von Mainz. However, assuming that Helwide was a member of the Blieskastel family, it is chronologically probable that she was the sister of Graf Gottfried [I]. Gerhard & his wife had one child:

Chapter 22. HERREN von WEINSBERG

Successful reconstruction of the family of the Herren von Weinsberg is challenging because of the repetition of the names Engelhard and Konrad in all branches over the generations, and the multiple use of the same names given to different children of the same parents. The published secondary sources are generally unreliable. In particular, Dillenius’s mid-19th century study includes serious flaws in the reconstruction, although it remains a useful work in highlighting relevant primary source material (although he does not consistently provide citation references). The reconstruction which follows appears to be consistent with the primary sources, although several gaps remain which will only be filled if further source documentation emerges.

1. ENGELHARD [I] von Weinsberg (-after 1166). “...Engelhardus de Winsperch pincerna et alius Engelhardus” witnessed the charter dated 1166 under which Friedrich Duke of Swabia donated property to Kloster Lorch[1518].

2. ENGELHARD [II] von Weinsberg (-after 1212). The primary source which confirms the parentage of Engelhard [II] has not been identified. However, the reference in the 1212 charter to his “avunculus” may refer to Engelhard [I] who, if that is correct, would not have been his father. “...Engelhardus de Winsperch pincerna et alius Engelhardus” witnessed the charter dated 1166 under which Friedrich Duke of Swabia donated property to Kloster Lorch[1519]. Engelhard von Weinsberg witnessed a charter dated 30 Apr 1186 under which Heinrich VI King of Germany confirmed the privileges of Lucca[1520]. “...Engilhardus de Winesberc filii eius Cunradus et Engilhardus de Winesberc...” witnessed the charter dated 20 Jun 1193 under which Emperor Heinrich VI confirmed the donation of a mill to Kloster Lorch by “Theodericus de Stamheim”[1521]. “Engelhardus de Winsperg” confirmed property to Kloster Schönthal, including property “in Sindringen” donated by “Engelhardus avunculus meus”, by charter dated 1212[1522]. m JUTTA, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Engilhard’s wife has not been identified. Dillenius names her “Jutta von N. N.” without citing the source on which this name is based[1523]. Engelhard [II] & his wife had three children:

a) KONRAD [I] von Weinsberg (-after 1235). “...Engilhardus de Winesberc filii eius Cunradus et Engilhardus de Winesberc...” witnessed the charter dated 20 Jun 1193 under which Emperor Heinrich VI confirmed the donation of a mill to Kloster Lorch by “Theodericus de Stamheim”[1524]. Heinrich VII King of Germany confirmed property held from Würzburg by "H. nobilis vir de Bokesperc...et...Cunradus de Winsperc...ab eodem" by charter dated 1231[1525]. Dillenius records Konrad’s presence at a tournament in Würzburg in 1235[1526]. m ---. The name of Konrad’s wife is not known. Dillenius names “Luitgardis Tochter des Walther Schenk von Limpurg” as the wife of Konrad [I] and founder of Kloster Lichtenstern[1527], although this information appears to contradict the indication quoted below relating to the wife of Engelhard [III]. Konrad [I] & his wife had one child:

i) KONRAD von Weinsberg (-after 1272). Dillenius names Konrad “Mönch in Herrenalb...1257 und 1272” as the only son of Konrad [I][1528].

b) ENGELHARD [III] von Weinsberg (-after 1242). “...Engilhardus de Winesberc filii eius Cunradus et Engilhardus de Winesberc...” witnessed the charter dated 20 Jun 1193 under which Emperor Heinrich VI confirmed the donation of a mill to Kloster Lorch by “Theodericus de Stamheim”[1529]. m [--- von Limpurg, daughter of ---]. Her parentage and marriage are indicated by the following document, assuming that “amita” can be interpreted in its strict sense of paternal aunt: “Waltherus imperialis aule pincerna de Limpurg" donated “ius patronatus ecclesie in Bitzefeldt” to Kloster Lichtenstern by charter dated 1255, witnessed by “Engelhardo, Conrado, amite nostre filiis de Weinsperg...”[1530]. Dillenius names “Luitgardis Tochter des Walther Schenk von Limpurg” as the wife of Konrad [I] and founder of Kloster Lichtenstern[1531], which at first sight appears to contradict the indication of the 1255 charter unless Engelhard [III] married another member of the Limpurg family. Engelhard [III] & his wife had two children:

i) ENGELHARD [IV] von Weinsberg (-[1278]). “Waltherus imperialis aule pincerna de Limpurg" donated “ius patronatus ecclesie in Bitzefeldt” to Kloster Lichtenstern by charter dated 1255, witnessed by “Engelhardo, Conrado, amite nostre filiis de Weinsperg...”[1532].

- see below.

c) KONRAD von Weinsberg “junior” (-after 1219). Canon at Würzburg, Archdeacon at Würzburg. Dillenius names “Konrad jun. canonicus, 1212-14 und Archidiaconus in Würzburg”, named in a charter dated 1219 for Kloster Schönthal as “Sohn der Jutta”[1534].

A charter dated 30 Jun 1256 records a settlement between "Engelhardus et Conradus fratres de Winesperg" and "consanguineis nostris Philippo de Falkenstein et Philippo nato suo" over the inheritance of "dominio Minzenberg"[1537].

m firstly MECHTILD von Münzenberg, daughter of ULRICH von Münzenberg & his wife ---. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1257 under which "Reinhardus de Hagenowia, Philippus de Valckenstein ac Philippus filius eiusdem, Engelbertus et Cunradus fratres de Winisberg, Heinricus Marscalcus de Pappinheim, Cuno et Bertholdus fratres de Sconenburg, coheredes in Minzenberg" confirmed that "pie mem. Ulricus de Minzenberg sororius noster et nostri Philippi iunioris, Cunonis et Bertholdi fratrum de Sconenburg avunculus" donated the church of Nuheim to Mainz[1542].

m secondly ([1274/29 Apr 1277]) AGNES von Löwenstein, daughter of GOTTFRIED [III] Graf von Löwenstein [Calw] & his [first wife Kunigunde von Hohenlohe]. “Engelhardus senior et Conradus junior de Winsperg” acknowledged holding property from Ludwig II Duke of Bavaria, with the consent of “uxorum nostrarum Agnetis de Lewenstein et Liuthardis de Nifen nec non Cunradi jun. de Winsberg et Elsbete consortis suæ dictæ de Catzenelelnogen”, by charter dated 29 Apr 1277[1543].

"Engelhardus de Winsberg senior et Engelhardus junior de Winsberg" settled a debt with "consanguineos nostros Philippum et Wernherum fratres de Falkenstein" by charter dated 14 Feb 1271[1544]. The 29 Apr 1277 charter, naming his brother Konrad [III] with Engelhard, suggests that Engelhard [V] was deceased at the time.

2. KONRAD [III] von Weinsberg “junior”, later “senior” (-before [7 Sep] 1304). His parentage is confirmed by his 1269 marriage contract quoted below. “Engelhardus senior et Conradus junior de Winsperg” acknowledged holding property from Ludwig II Duke of Bavaria, with the consent of “uxorum nostrarum Agnetis de Lewenstein et Liuthardis de Nifen nec non Cunradi jun. de Winsberg et Elsbete consortis suæ dictæ de Catzenelelnogen”, by charter dated 29 Apr 1277[1545]. “Graf Ludwig von Dürn” granted “die Hälfte der Stadt Buchen...” to “Konrad von Weinsberg dem Älteren und Konrad dem Jüngeren” by charter dated 25 Oct 1295[1546].

"Engilhardus et Conradus fratres de Winsberc coheredes in Mincenberc" donated property "apud maiorem villam Holzhein" to Arnsburg monastery by charter dated 25 Jan 1259[1565]. Konrad presumably died before the 5 Dec 1267 charter which names his son Engelhard (see below).

m IRMENGARD von Münzenberg, daughter of ULRICH von Münzenberg & his wife ---. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1257 under which "Reinhardus de Hagenowia, Philippus de Valckenstein ac Philippus filius eiusdem, Engelbertus et Cunradus fratres de Winisberg, Heinricus Marscalcus de Pappinheim, Cuno et Bertholdus fratres de Sconenburg, coheredes in Minzenberg" confirmed that "pie mem. Ulricus de Minzenberg sororius noster et nostri Philippi iunioris, Cunonis et Bertholdi fratrum de Sconenburg avunculus" donated the church of Nuheim to Mainz[1566].

Konrad [II] & his wife had children:

1. [KONRAD [IV] von Weinsberg “junior”, later “senior” (-1323). “Engelhardus senior et Conradus junior de Winsperg” acknowledged holding property from Ludwig II Duke of Bavaria, with the consent of “uxorum nostrarum Agnetis de Lewenstein et Liuthardis de Nifen nec non Cunradi jun. de Winsberg et Elsbete consortis suæ dictæ de Catzenelelnogen”, by charter dated 29 Apr 1277[1567]. It is assumed that “junior”, applied to the first named Konrad in this document, indicates his status relative to Enghelhard “senior” and not the existence of a Konrad “senior” (whose absence from the document would be surprising). If that is correct, it is likely that Konrad “junior” was the son of Engelhard’s younger brother Konrad. The primary source which confirms that this is correct has not been identified. Dillenius names Konrad [IV] as the son of Engelhard [IV], younger brother of Konrad [III][1568]. The chronology suggests that this is unlikely to be correct. “Graf Ludwig von Dürn” granted “die Hälfte der Stadt Buchen...” to “Konrad von Weinsberg dem Älteren und Konrad dem Jüngeren” by charter dated 25 Oct 1295[1569]. Stälin records that “Konrad von Weinsperg, welcher Luitgard von Neifen zur Gemahlin hatte” sold “die Herrschaft Neifen”, with “dessen Söhnen Konrad und Engelhard”, to Eberhard Graf von Württemberg by charter dated 21 Jan 1301[1570]. "Cunrat von Winsberg der Alte…und…Cunrat und…Engelhart sine Sune…und…Engelhart von Winsberg Hern Cunrates seligen Sun von Winsberg, des Elteren" renounced rights in the dower of "Frou Elsebethen von Katzenelenbogen, Hern Cunrates seligen von Winsberg elicher Wirtin" by charter dated [7 Sep] 1304[1571]. [It is likely that he was Konrad “senior” named in the following document: "Conradus de Winsperg senior et Engelhardus de Winsperg filius quondam Conradi de Winsperg senioris" confirmed “villis dictis Scevelentze” as fiefs of Mainz by charter dated 26 May 1313[1572].] Dillenius records that “Konrad und sein Sohn Konrad” [presumably Konrad [IV] and Konrad [VI], his son] and “Konrad Engelhard” confirmed the donation made by “Agnes von Brauneck, Gattin Konrads” to Lichtenstern by charter date 1318[1573]. “Konrad von Weinsperg und Conrad sein Sohn” [presumably Konrad [IV] and Konrad [VI], his son] mortgaged “das Dorf Mosbrunn” to “Albrecht von Hirshorn” by charter dated 30 Apr 1319[1574]. Konrad [IV] presumably died in or before 1323, the date of the charter cited below in which his sons were granted “Neckargartach”.] m firstly (before 29 Apr 1277) LIUTGARD von Neuffen, daughter of ---. “Engelhardus senior et Conradus junior de Winsperg” acknowledged holding property from Ludwig II Duke of Bavaria, with the consent of “uxorum nostrarum Agnetis de Lewenstein et Liuthardis de Nifen nec non Cunradi jun. de Winsberg et Elsbete consortis suæ dictæ de Catzenelelnogen”, by charter dated 29 Apr 1277[1575].

Dillenius records that “Konrad und sein Sohn Konrad” [presumably Konrad [IV] and Konrad [VI], his son] and “Konrad Engelhard” confirmed the donation made by “Agnes von Brauneck, Gattin Konrads” to Lichtenstern by charter date 1318[1578]. “Agnes von Brauneck Wittwe” founded a mass at Neuenstadt, with the consent of “ihres Sohnes Engelhard ihrer Tochter Mechthild und deren Gatten Graf Heinrich von Rechberg”, for the souls of “mariti et filii Conradi Engelhardi”, by charter dated 26 Mar 1336[1579]. Konrad [IV] & his first wife had children:

a) KONRAD [VI] von Weinsberg ([1280/85]-[27 Mar/2 May] 1328). Stälin records that “Konrad von Weinsperg, welcher Luitgard von Neifen zur Gemahlin hatte” sold “die Herrschaft Neifen”, with “dessen Söhnen Konrad und Engelhard”, to Eberhard Graf von Württemberg by charter dated 21 Jan 1301[1580].

Dillenius records that “Konrad und sein Sohn Konrad” [presumably Konrad [IV] and Konrad [VI], his son] and “Konrad Engelhard” confirmed the donation made by “Agnes von Brauneck, Gattin Konrads” to Lichtenstern by charter dated 1318[1582]. “Konrad von Weinsperg und Conrad sein Sohn” [presumably Konrad [IV] and Konrad [VI], his son] mortgaged “das Dorf Mosbrunn” to “Albrecht von Hirshorn” by charter date 30 Apr 1319[1583]. Kuno Bishop of Worms granted “Neckargartach” to “Konrads Söhne” by charter dated 1323[1584]. Engelhard von Weinsberg [=Engelhard [VII]] gave thanks to his “Bruder und Bulen Konrad von Weinsberg und Engelhard und Engelhard Konrad seinen Brüdern” by charter dated 4 Feb 1326[1585]. “Konrad [von Weinsberg], seine Gattin Luitgard von Breuberg, Engelhard canonicus in Würzburg und seinen Bruder Engelhard” donated “[die] Kirche in Sindringen” to Kloster Schönthal, with the consent of “Mechtild der Schwester Konrads [the donor] und der Töchter Konrads Luitgard und Elisabeth”, by charter dated 28 Jan 1328[1586]. “Die Brüder Konrad mit seiner Gattin Luitgard, Engelhard sen. und jun.” donated property “in Oedheim...auf Burg Herbotstein” to Kloster Schönthal by charter dated 1328[1587]. Mehring estimates his death between 27 Mar and 2 May 1328 but does not cite the sources on which this information is based[1588]. m firstly (before 5 Jan 1315) ADELHEID von Hanau, daughter of [ULRICH [I] Herr von Hanau & his wife Elisabeth von Rieneck] (-before 1325). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. If her family origin is correct, from a chronological point of view it is likely that she was one of the younger children of Ulrich [I] von Hanau. An earlier marriage of Konrad [VI] is indicated by the mention of his two daughters in 1328, when they were presumably no longer infants. m secondly (after 5 May 1324) as her first husband, LUCKARD von Breuberg, daughter of EBERHARD Herr von Breuberg & his wife Mechtild von Waldeck (-after 1365). Emperor Ludwig III Duke of Bavaria enfeoffed “medietatem castri Erpach” to “Ebirhardo de Bruberg”, and consented to dower granted to “Mechtildi uxori sue...ac Elizabet et Luckardi filiabus suis” with the consent of “Conradus Pincerna de Erpach coheres predicti Ebirhardi in dicto castro”, by charter dated 4 Dec 1320[1589]. Heinrich Abbot of Fulda confirmed that, after the death of “felicis recordationis quondam...Ebirhardus de Bruberg”, his fiefs were inherited by “Mechtilde relicta eiusdem Ebirhardi nec non Elisabeth et Lickardis filiabus suis”, with the agreement of “Rudolfo comiti de Wertheim marito Elisabeth supradicta”, by charter dated 5 May 1324[1590]. “Die Brüder Konrad mit seiner Gattin Luitgard, Engelhard sen. und jun.” donated property “in Oedheim...auf Burg Herbotstein” to Kloster Schönthal by charter dated 1328[1591]. “Konrad [von Weinsberg], seine Gattin Luitgard von Breuberg, Engelhard canonicus in Würzburg und seinen Bruder Engelhard” donated “[die] Kirche in Sindringen” to Kloster Schönthal, with the consent of “Mechtild der Schwester Konrads [the donor] und der Töchter Konrads Luitgard und Elisabeth”, by charter dated 28 Jan 1328[1592]. She married secondly Gottfried Herr von Eppstein. “Gotfrid herre zu Eppenstein und Luckart die junge frowe von Eppenstein, Gotfrides seligen von Eppenstein dez jungen wittibe” sold “daz virteyl an Bruberch” to “Graf Rudolfen zu Wertheim, frawen Elsen siner...wirtinne”, with the consent of “di jungen von Eppenstein Gotfrid und Eberhart, des egenanten Gotfrids...und...Luckarten sun...unserm sun Chunrad von Winsperch”, by charter dated 9 Oct 1341[1593]. “Luckard Jung vrouwe zu Eppenstein” sold property “zu Brombach”, with the consent of “unsers Sunes hern Cunrades heren zu Winsperg”, by charter dated 13 Jun 1356[1594].

Konrad [VI] & his first wife had two children:

i) LIUTGARD von Weinsberg . “Konrad [von Weinsberg], seine Gattin Luitgard von Breuberg, Engelhard canonicus in Würzburg und seinen Bruder Engelhard” donated “[die] Kirche in Sindringen” to Kloster Schönthal, with the consent of “Mechtild der Schwester Konrads [the donor] und der Töchter Konrads Luitgard und Elisabeth”, by charter dated 28 Jan 1328[1596].

Konrad [VI] & his second wife had one child:

Her parentage and first marriage are indicated by the following document: “Conrad Here zu Winsperg” confirmed that “myn...Sweher Eberhard Schencke Here zu Erpach” had granted “uf Erbach Burg und Stad eyme Virteil” to “Gredin myner...Frauwin sin Dochter” by undated charter[1601]. She married secondly Wilhelm [II] Graf von Eberstein. “Else von Kaczenelnbogen frauwe zu Erpach” donated property to the Franciscans at Dieburg, with the consent of “myn...kinden Margreden greuin zu Ebirstein, Schenck Ebirharten herren zu Erpach und Yden von Hoenfels frauwen zu Rippoltskirchen”, by charter dated 12 Jul 1381[1602]. Her parentage and second marriage are indicated by the following document: “Schenk Eberhart herre zu Erpach, Wilhelm graue zu Eberstein und Eberhart von Hohenfels herre zu Reipoltzkirchen” agreed to hold jointly property inherited from “unßer...muter und anefrawen seliger” by charter dated 21 May 1416[1603].

b) ENGELHARD [VIII] von Weinsberg ([1280/85]-3 Dec 1346). Stälin records that “Konrad von Weinsperg, welcher Luitgard von Neifen zur Gemahlin hatte” sold “die Herrschaft Neifen”, with “dessen Söhnen Konrad und Engelhard”, to Eberhard Graf von Württemberg by charter dated 21 Jan 1301[1604]. "Cunrat von Winsberg der Alte…und…Cunrat und…Engelhart sine Sune…und…Engelhart von Winsberg Hern Cunrates seligen Sun von Winsberg, des Elteren" renounced rights in the dower of "Frou Elsebethen von Katzenelenbogen, Hern Cunrates seligen von Winsberg elicher Wirtin" by charter dated [7 Sep] 1304[1605]. Engelhard von Weinsberg [=Engelhard [VII]] gave thanks to his “Bruder und Bulen Konrad von Weinsberg und Engelhard und Engelhard Konrad seinen Brüdern” by charter dated 4 Feb 1326[1606]. “Die Brüder Konrad mit seiner Gattin Luitgard, Engelhard sen. und jun.” donated property “in Oedheim...auf Burg Herbotstein” to Kloster Schönthal by charter dated 1328[1607]. “Konrad [von Weinsberg], seine Gattin Luitgard von Breuberg, Engelhard canonicus in Würzburg und seinen Bruder Engelhard” donated “[die] Kirche in Sindringen” to Kloster Schönthal, with the consent of “Mechtild der Schwester Konrads [the donor] und der Töchter Konrads Luitgard und Elisabeth”, by charter dated 28 Jan 1328[1608]. He was “min Öheim Engelhard...” named in the following document: "Margrave Friderich von Baden..." entered an alliance with "unsern...swager Engelhard von Winsperg", who named “dem vorgenanten Margraven Hermann von Baden” as his heir including in property “was min Öheim Engelhard von Winsperg Amtlüte hat...und die gut, do er siner...Hufsvrauen Grävin Annen der Grävin von Helfenstein an Morgengabe...hat...Gröwe Elsebethe genant von Winsperg geborne von Katzenellenbogen, min zwester Gröve Anne Grävin von Helfenstein”, by charter dated Jun 1329[1609]. Emperor Ludwig IV confirmed all imperial properties previously held by “deren Vater Konrad” to “die Gebrüder Engelhard I, Engelhard II und Konrad von Weinsberg” by charter dated 18 Jun 1330[1610]. "Friderich...Margrave von Baden und Engelhard von Ebertsperg der elter", noting an agreement with “Hern Cunrad von Winsperg seiligen und...Engelhart von Winsperg dem eltern”, granted "des halben...aller...zu Eberstat und zu Gelmerspach und zu dem Stein..." to “Engelhart und Engelhart und Cunrad von Winsperg gebrüder”, naming “Fraue Elizabet von Katzenellenbogen seilig”, by charter dated early Dec 1331[1611]. m ANNA von Helfenstein, daughter of ULRICH [III] Graf von Helfenstein & his second wife Margareta von Toggenburg (-after 15 Oct 1361). Assuming that Engelhard [VIII] von Weinsberg was “min Öheim Engelhard...”, as noted above, his wife was “Hufsvrauen Grävin Annen der Grävin von Helfenstein”, as named in the charter dated Jun 1329[1612].

c) ENGELHARD [IX] von Weinsberg “Wild-Engelhard” (-before 1316). Dillenius states that Engelhard [IX] was the same person as Engelhard [VI], son of Konrad [II] von Weinsberg[1613]. The chronology suggests that this is unlikely to be correct: Engelhard [VI]’s presumed older brother Konrad [IV] was married before 1277 as shown above, whereas the birth date of Engelhard [VII]’s known wife Richza can be dated with confidence to [1280/93] given the dates of her parents’ marriage and her mother’s death. This would be surprisingly late if Engelhard [IX] was Konrad [IV]’s brother. A more likely case is that Engelhard [IX] was a grandson of Konrad [II], which is confirmed by the following document: Konrad [IV] von Weinsberg bequeathed property to “sin sun...der Wilde Engelhard siner husfrauwen van Hohenloch”, undated[1614]. m as her first husband, RICHZA von Hohenlohe, daughter of KRAFT [I] von Hohenlohe in Weikersheim & his second wife Margareta von Truhendigen ([1280/93]-1337, bur Kloster Vessra). Her two marriages are confirmed by the charter dated 20 Jan 1322 under which "Boppe…grefe von Hennemberg und herre zu Harttemberg und…Rychze…wirtin" repaid the dowry of "Rychzen der vorgenanten ettewenne her Engelhart von Winsberg" to "Conrad von Winsberg…des selben sun"[1615]. She married secondly (before 13 Nov 1316) Poppo [X] Graf von Henneberg. Engelhard [IX] & his wife had one child:

i) KONRAD von Weinsberg (-after 1322). "Boppe…grefe von Hennemberg und herre zu Harttemberg und…Rychze…wirtin" repaid the dowry of "Rychzen der vorgenanten ettewenne her Engelhart von Winsberg" to "Conrad von Winsberg…des selben sun" by charter dated 20 Jan 1322[1616]. Dillenius names Konrad “canonicus in Würzburg 1316” as the only son of Engelhard [VII], noting his death in May 1324 “nach Grabmal in Wimpfen”[1617]. The primary source on which he bases this information has not been identified.

d) ENGELHARD KONRAD von Weinsberg (-[after Dec 1331]). Engelhard von Weinsberg [=Engelhard [VII]] gave thanks to his “Bruder und Bulen Konrad von Weinsberg und Engelhard und Engelhard Konrad seinen Brüdern” by charter dated 4 Feb 1326[1618]. [It is unclear whether the following two documents refer to Engelhard Konrad or to two different persons, one named Engelhard and the other Konrad. Emperor Ludwig IV confirmed all imperial properties previously held by “deren Vater Konrad” to “die Gebrüder Engelhard I, Engelhard II und Konrad von Weinsberg” by charter dated 18 Jun 1330[1619]. "Friderich...Margrave von Baden und Engelhard von Ebertsperg der elter", noting an agreement with “Hern Cunrad von Winsperg seiligen und...Engelhart von Winsperg dem eltern”, granted "des halben...aller...zu Eberstat und zu Gelmerspach und zu dem Stein..." to “Engelhart und Engelhart und Cunrad von Winsperg gebrüder”, naming “Fraue Elizabet von Katzenellenbogen seilig”, by charter dated early Dec 1331[1620].]

e) MECHTILD von Weinsberg ). Konrad [IV] von Weinsberg bequeathed property to “siner tochter...Mechtilde van Brunecke”, undated[1621]. m ULRICH von Hohenlohe Herr von Brauneck, son of GEBHARD von Hohenlohe Herr von Brauneck & his wife Adelheid von Taufers (-before 1332).

f) ADELHEID von Weinsberg (-after 13 Sep 1310). Kremer’s “Abhandlung von den graven von Loewenstein” records that “Philipp”, son of “Grav Wilhelm [error for Albrecht] von Lœwenstein”, married “eine Weinspergische gemahlin...Adelheid”, and that “Conrad der alte von Weinsperg und sein sohn Conrad der jüngere” acknowledged payment from “ihre mume grævin Luccard von Lœwenstein” relating to “das schloss Wolfselden” granted to “ihrer tochter Adelheiden graven Philipps von Lœwenstein seel...Würthin vor ihre morgengab” by charter dated 13 Sep 1310[1622]. Konrad [IV] von Weinsberg bequeathed property to “siner tochter Adelheit”, undated[1623]. m PHILIPP Graf von Löwenstein, son of ALBRECHT von Schenkenburg Graf von Löwenstein & his second wife Liutgard von Bolanden (-before 13 Sep 1310).

g) MENE von Weinsberg . Konrad [IV] von Weinsberg bequeathed property to “siner tochter...Menen”, undated[1624].

Konrad [IV] & his second wife had children:

h) ENGELHARD [X] von Weinsberg (-after 26 Mar 1336). “Die Brüder Konrad mit seiner Gattin Luitgard, Engelhard sen. und jun.” donated property “in Oedheim...auf Burg Herbotstein” to Kloster Schönthal by charter dated 1328[1625]. Canon at Würzburg. “Konrad [von Weinsberg], seine Gattin Luitgard von Breuberg, Engelhard canonicus in Würzburg und seinen Bruder Engelhard” donated “[die] Kirche in Sindringen” to Kloster Schönthal, with the consent of “Mechtild der Schwester Konrads [the donor] und der Töchter Konrads Luitgard und Elisabeth”, by charter dated 28 Jan 1328[1626]. “Agnes von Brauneck Wittwe” founded a mass at Neuenstadt, with the consent of “ihres Sohnes Engelhard ihrer Tochter Mechthild und deren Gatten Graf Heinrich von Rechberg”, for the souls of “mariti et filii Conradi Engelhardi”, by charter dated 26 Mar 1336[1627].

i) [ENGELHARD KONRAD (-before 26 Mar 1336). “Agnes von Brauneck Wittwe” founded a mass at Neuenstadt, with the consent of “ihres Sohnes Engelhard ihrer Tochter Mechthild und deren Gatten Graf Heinrich von Rechberg”, for the souls of “mariti et filii Conradi Engelhardi”, by charter dated 26 Mar 1336[1628]. It is assumed that Agnes donated property, involving only her own children. If that is correct, this Engelhard Konrad was different from Konrad [IV]’s son of that name, shown above, born from his first marriage.]

j) MECHTILD von Weinsberg . “Konrad [von Weinsberg], seine Gattin Luitgard von Breuberg, Engelhard canonicus in Würzburg und seinen Bruder Engelhard” donated “[die] Kirche in Sindringen” to Kloster Schönthal, with the consent of “Mechtild der Schwester Konrads [the donor] und der Töchter Konrads Luitgard und Elisabeth”, by charter dated 28 Jan 1328[1629]. “Agnes von Brauneck Wittwe” founded a mass at Neuenstadt, with the consent of “ihres Sohnes Engelhard ihrer Tochter Mechthild und deren Gatten Graf Heinrich von Rechberg”, for the souls of “mariti et filii Conradi Engelhardi”, by charter dated 26 Mar 1336[1630]. m ([1328/35]) HEINRICH Graf von Rechberg, son of ---.

2. ENGELHARD [VI] von Weinsberg (-after 1304). “Philippus senior de Falkenstein cum filiis suis Philippo et Wernhero, Reinhardus de Hagenauwe, Engelhardus dominus de Winsberc et Engelhardus junior nepos eiusdem” renounced “ecclesiam parrochialem in Bickenbach...patronatus” in favour of Padenhausen by charter dated 5 Dec 1267[1631]. The marriage contract of "Engilhardus senior de Weinsberg…Conrado filio meo" and "Elsybetam filiam…Dietheri comitis de Katzenelebogen" is dated 1269, witnessed by "Engilhardi filii fratris mei et Alberti generi mei"[1632]. "Cunrat von Winsberg der Alte…und…Cunrat und…Engelhart sine Sune…und…Engelhart von Winsberg Hern Cunrates…Sun von Winsberg, des Elteren" renounced rights in the dower of "Frou Elsebethen von Katzenelenbogen, Hern Cunrates…von Winsberg elicher Wirtin" by charter dated 1304[1633].

The parentage of the following person has not been traced. From a chronological point of view, he could have been one of the children of Konrad [IV] von Weinsberg by his second wife Agnes von Brauneck.

1. ENGELHARD von Weinsberg (-after 5 Aug 1345). m --- von Erbach, daughter of KONRAD [III] Schenk von Erbach & his wife Ida [von Steinach] ([1305/30]-before 1 Jul 1380). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the following document: [her father] “Conradus Pincerna de Ertpach et Engilhardus de Winsperg eius gener” acknowledged receipt of part payment of a debt from Heinrich Archbishop of Mainz by charter dated 5 Aug 1345[1634]. The information is confirmed by the following document: the testament of “Margrede die Schenkin von Erpach frauwe zum Hirßhorne”, dated 1 Jul 1380, bequeathed property to “...myner swester dochter von Winsperg...”[1635]. This document presumably indicates that Engelhard’s wife was deceased at the time. Engelhard & his wife had one child:

a) daughter (-after 1 Jul 1380). The testament of “Margrede die Schenkin von Erpach frauwe zum Hirßhorne”, dated 1 Jul 1380, bequeathed property to “...myner swester dochter von Winsperg...”[1636]. This wording suggests that the testator’s sister had only one surviving daughter at that time.

Four siblings. Their father was named Engelhard von Weinsberg, as confirmed by the 1367 charter quoted below. No primary source has been found which identifies which Engelhard this was, while secondary sources consulted diverge in identifying the Engelhard in question. The answer to the problem is not obvious. For example, according to Dillenius they were children of Engelhard [VII] von Weinsberg, son of Konrad [III] (see above)[1637]. However, from a chronological point of view, this suggestion is unlikely to be correct given his birth in [1270/90]. The most likely possibility is that their father was one of the sons of Konrad [IV] von Weinsberg by his second wife Agnes von Brauneck, whose children would have been born in [1310/20]: maybe he was Engelhard [X].

ENGELHARD von Weinsberg, son of --- (-after 1367). “Engelhard [von Weinsperg] mit seinen Söhnen Engelhard, Konrad und Konrad” renounced rights in “[die] Feste zum Stein” in favour of Mainz by charter dated 1367[1638].

m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Engelhard’s wife has not been identified.

Engelhard & his wife had four children:

1. ENGELHARD von Weinsberg ([1340]-1417). “Engelhard [von Weinsperg] mit seinen Söhnen Engelhard, Konrad und Konrad” renounced rights in “[die] Feste zum Stein” in favour of Mainz by charter dated 1367[1639]. “Engelhard und seine Gattin Anna von Leiningen” sold “Burg und Schloß Weinsberg” to Mainz by charter dated 24 Jul 1388, sealed by “sein Bruder Konrad senior der Scholasticus und Konrad junior”[1640]. Ruprecht King of Germany granted “die Burg un...Rechten...in der Stadt [Weinsburg]” to “Engelhard und seinem Sohne Konrad” by charter dated 3 Feb 1408[1641]. m ([1367]) ANNA von Leiningen, daughter of EMICH [VII] Graf von Leiningen-Dagsburg und Hardenburg & his second wife Margareta von Kiburg (-22 Feb 1413). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Engelhard & his wife had children:

a) KONRAD von Weinsberg (-18 Jan 1448, bur Kloster Schönthal). “Engelhard und seine Gattin Anna von Leiningen” sold “Burg und Schloß Weinsberg” to Mainz by charter dated 24 Jul 1388, sealed by “sein Bruder Konrad senior der Scholasticus und Konrad junior”[1642].
