INTRODUCTION
A review of the families of the princes, dukes and counts who ruled Germany in medieval times would be incomplete without documents devoted to the major archbishoprics. The bishopric of Köln was elevated to the status of archbishopric during the reign of Charles I King of the Franks in the late 8th century, and eventually enjoyed ecclesiastic jurisdiction over the bishoprics of Cambrai, Liège, Minden, Münster, Osnabrück, Paderborn and Utrecht. Under the terms of the 843 Treaty of Verdun, which settled the disputes between the sons of Emperor Lous I "le Pieux", the territory of the archbishopric of Köln fell partly within the kingdom of Lotharingia and partly within the province of Franconia which formed part of the kingdom of the East Franks. Along with the archbishops of Mainz and Trier, the archbishops of Köln played an important role in the election of successive kings of Germany. In particular, the archbishop of Köln was responsible for issuing the 13 Jan 1257 electoral decree, at the time of the election of Richard Earl of Cornwall in 1257, which marked an important stage in formalising the electoral process[1]. By the mid-12th century, the archbishops of Köln, Mainz and Trier had firmly established themselves as the spiritual representatives in the electoral process. Electoral procedures, the unity of the seven electors including the three archbishops, and the right of election by the majority, were laid down definitively in the Golden Bull of 1356, which is described in some detail by Leuschner[2].
By the judicious acquisition of land, through purchase, donation and inheritance, the three archbishoprics of Köln, Mainz and Trier consolidated a powerful temporal, in addition to ecclesiastical, position of power. The archbishopric of Köln held extensive territory mainly along the western bank of the river Rhine, stretching from the town of Duisberg in the north to north-west of Koblenz in the south, lying between the counties of Jülich to the west and Berg to the east. In addition, it held numerous other isolated territories scattered throughout the lower Rhine basin on both banks of the river. The archbishops of Köln were elected mainly from prominent noble families in the lower Rhine area, although as will be seen below in the present document the precise family connections of many of the archbishops cannot be traced with certainty. The suspicion is that the reigning archbishops frequently groomed their successors from among the members of their own family, often related through the female rather than the male line. If sufficient information on family relationships was available in primary source documentation, it is expected that it would reveal extensive informal "dynasties" of archbishops which included a limited number of noble families. In the case of the archbishopric of Köln, such family connections with noble families in the area of the lower Rhine basin, especially the comital families of Altena, Berg, Heinsberg, Hochstaden, Jülich, and Mark, can be demonstrated clearly. It is probable that a similar pattern would emerge in relation to the more important lower level ecclesiastical appointments within each archbishopric.
The present document shows the archbishops of Köln between 784 and 1274. The listing is not strictly chronological in the case of the incumbents which can be linked by family group.
Chapter 1. ARCHBISHOPS of KÖLN 784-1508
1. HILDBOLD (-3 Sep 819). Archbishop of Köln 784.
Two siblings: 1. HATHABOLD (-840). Archbishop of Köln 819. The Annales Colonienses Brevissimi record that "Hadebaldo" took "episcopatum Coloniæ" in 819[3]. 2. REGIGARD (-before 3 Jan [841]). “Lutbertus electus episcopus ad Coloniæ urbis” and “genitor meus Hasbald” donated property “in pago Auelgawe...” to Bonn St Cassius, for the souls of “avunculi mei Hathabaldi archiepiscopi...et genitricis meæ Regigardæ”, by charter dated “III Non Jan anno secundo regnante Luthario rege”[4]. This charter is presumably dated to 841 (N.S.) as the future Emperor Lothaire was installed as king in the area east of the river Meuse by his father at Worms 28 May 839 (see the document LOTHARINGIA KINGS & DUKES). m HASBOLD, son of --- (-after 3 Jan [841]). “Asbaldus” donated “ecclesiam...foras muros Bonnensis civitatis in loco...Basilica secus fluvium Gummia”, which “domnus Athabaldus archiepiscopus” had granted him, to Bonn St Cassius by charter dated “XIV Kal Mai anno XIX regnante...Luduico...imperatore”[5]. Hasbold & his wife had one child: a) LIUTBERT (after 841). Archbishop of Köln 840. “Lutbertus electus episcopus ad Coloniæ urbis” and “genitor meus Hasbald” donated property “in pago Auelgawe...” to Bonn St Cassius, for the souls of “avunculi mei Hathabaldi archiepiscopi...et genitricis meæ Regigardæ”, by charter dated “III Non Jan anno secundo regnante Luthario rege”[6]. He was deposed in 841.
1. HILDUIN, son of --- (-27 Sep 849). Archbishop of Köln 842. The Annales Colonienses Brevissimi record that "Hilduinus" took "episcopatum Coloniæ" in 842[7]. Hilduin is named in two charters of Emperor Lothaire I dated 843 and 848 “vocatus archiepiscopus”[8]. Lot argues that Archbishop Hilduin was the same person as Hilduin Abbot of Saint-Denis[9]. It is correct that a charter dated 841, under which Emperor Lothaire authorised “Hilduinus...abba” to install a market “in Valle Tillina, in loco Haenohim, super lacum Cumensem” the profits to belong exclusively to “ecclesiam Sancti Dionysii”[10], indicates that Abbé Hilduin had defected to Emperor Lothaire. However, the subject-matter of the document indicates that he was still connected to Saint-Denis at that time. In addition, the Chronicon Sancti Martini Coloniensis records that “Heynianus” [mistake for “Hilduinus”] became abbot of Köln St Martin in 819, adds that he later became “archiepiscopus Colonie”, that he died in 849, and gives details of his donation recorded “V Kal Oct”[11]. This source indicates that, if the co-identity was correct, Hilduin would have held the abbacies of Saint-Denis and Köln St Martin at the same time.
1. GÜNTHER, son of --- (-after 871). Archbishop of Köln: the Annales Colonienses Brevissimi record "Guntarius episcopus Coloniæ XII Kal Mai" in 850[12]. The Chronologia Johannes de Beke records that "dominus Radbodus" was elected Bishop of Utrecht after the death of Bishop Egilbold and specifies that "Radbodus rex Frisie predictus ipsius matris attavus" and that "Guntarius archiepiscopus Coloniensis eius avunculus"[13]. The Cæsarii Heisterbacensis Catalogus of archbishops of Köln records that the concubine of "Lotharius" was "Waldradam, sororem Guntheri archiepiscopi Coloniensis" and that her brother encouraged Lothaire to leave his legitimate wife for Waldrada, for which he was excommunicated by the Pope[14]. He was deposed in 863 by Pope Nicholas I.
1. WILLIBERT (-11 Sep 889). Archbishop of Köln: The Annales Fuldensis record the appointment of “Willibertum presbyterum iussu Hludowici regis” as archbishop of Mainz in 870[15]. The Annales Colonienses Brevissimi record "XVII Kal Feb Willibertus episcopus" in 870[16]. Regino records the death in 890 of “Williberto episcopo”[17].

Chapter 2. BISHOPS of LIEGE
No primary source has yet been identified which indicates the family origin of Bishop Franco.
1. FRANCO (-901). Bishop of Liège 852. The Annales Lobienses record the death in 852 of "Harcharius episcopus Leodicensis" and the succession of "Franco"[139]. Hincmar names “...Franco episcopus sancti Landberti...” as one of the bishops present when Lothaire II King of Lotharingia accepted the return of his wife Teutberga in 865[140]. Regino records in 869 that “Francone episcopo Tungrensis” ordained "Hilduinum abbatem" in “Aquis palatio” as part of the process of pressing his candidature as archbishop of Köln[141]. The Annales Lobienses record in 870 that "Franco episcopus" sent legates to the Pope after King Lothaire divorced his wife and remarried[142]. The Continuatio Gemblacensis of Sigebert's Chronica records in 890 that "Franco episcopus” acquired “abbatiam Lobiensem et preposituram Fossensem” for the bishopric of Liège[143]. The Annales Lobienses record the death in 901 of "Franco Leodicensium episcopus" and the succession of "Stephanus"[144].
Brother and sister, parents not yet identified. Assuming the information concerning Plectrude´s marriage is correct as shown below, the family had comital connections. The name Stefan is associated with the family of the Matfriede family of Grafen von Metz (see the document UPPER LOTHARINGIA NOBILITY) and earlier, with the family of the 8th and 9th century Comtes de Paris (see CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY). Bishop Stefan´s earlier association with the church of Metz could also indicate a connection with the comital family of Metz. If that is correct, it is likely that Stefan was closely related to his successor Bishop Richer. Gallia Christiana states that Bishop Stefan was “Salinenis seu Salmensis comitis filius” but cites no source on which the statement is based[145].
1. STEFAN (-19 May [918/19], bur Liège Saint-Lambert). Bishop of Liège 901. The Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensis records that “Stephanum...Metensis æcclesiæ...canonicus” was appointed bishop of Liège in succession to Franco[146]. The Annales Lobienses record the death in 901 of "Franco Leodicensium episcopus" and the succession of "Stephanus"[147]. The Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium records the succession of “Stephanum” in 904[148], although this date is inconsistent with the details concerning Bishop Stefan´s death which are recorded in the same source (see below). The Annales Lobienses record the death in 920 of "Stephanus episcopus Leodicensium"[149]. The Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium records the death “XIV Kal Jun...regnante Conrardo Romanorum imperatore...primo” of “Stephanus episcopus” after holding office for 18 years and his burial “in cripta sancti Lamberti”[150]. 2. PLECTRUDE . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium which names [her son] “sanctus Gerardus fundator et primus abbas cenobii sancti Petri Broniensis, filius Namurcensis comitis de Plictrude sorore ipsius Stephani”[151]. m STANTIO “Comte de Namur”, son of --- (-after 918). The Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium names [his son] “sanctus Gerardus fundator et primus abbas cenobii sancti Petri Broniensis, filius Namurcensis comitis de Plictrude sorore ipsius Stephani”[152]. The title attributed in this source to Plectrude´s husband is anachronistic as it is uncommon to find geographical epithets attributed to comital titles in contemporary primary sources in the late 9th/early 10th centuries. The early counts of the castle of Namur are shown in the document NAMUR. No indication has been found of a connection between that family and the husband of Plectrude. It is not impossible that his county, assuming that the information in Aegidius´s Gesta is correct, was close to but not centred on the castle of Namur. Another indication about his origin is provided by Mabillon who names “Stantio...ex prosapia Haganonis Austrasiorum ducis” as the father of Gérard and husband of Plectrude, but provides no indication of the primary source on which the statement is based[153]. “Gerardus” donated property “in pago Lomacensi in loco...Bronium super fluvium Bornom” to found a monastery, with the consent of “patre meo Stantione et fratre meo Widone”, by charter dated 918[154]. Stantio & his wife had two children: a) GUY (-after 918). “Gerardus” donated property “in pago Lomacensi in loco...Bronium super fluvium Bornom” to found a monastery, with the consent of “patre meo Stantione et fratre meo Widone”, by charter dated 918[155]. b) GERARD (-5 Oct 959). Abbot of Brogne Saint-Pierre. The Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium names “sanctus Gerardus fundator et primus abbas cenobii sancti Petri Broniensis, filius Namurcensis comitis de Plictrude sorore ipsius Stephani”[156]. “Gerardus” donated property “in pago Lomacensi in loco...Bronium super fluvium Bornom” to found a monastery, with the consent of “patre meo Stantione et fratre meo Widone”, by charter dated 918[157]. Mabillon records the death “III Non Oct” in 959 of “Gerardus Broniensis abbas”, but provides no indication of the primary source on which the statement is based[158]. (Del Marmol, E. ‘Notice sur l´abbaye de Brogne ou de Saint Gérard’, Annales archéologiques de Namur, Tome V (with pièces justificatives).
Bishop Richer was a member of the Matfride family which provided an archbishop of Köln and bishops of Verdun. As noted above, the family name “Stefan” suggests the possibility that Bishop Richer was closely related to his predecessor Bishop Stefan.
1. RICHER, son of --- [von Metz] & his wife --- (-23 Jul 945, bur Liège Saint-Pierre). Abbot of Prüm [892]: Regino records the death in 892 of “Farabertus abba Prumensis cœnobii” and the election of "Richarium, fratrem Gerhardi et Mathfridi" as his successor[159]. Bishop of Liège [920]. The Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensis records that “Richario” was appointed bishop of Liège in succession to Stefan[160]. Flodoard records in 920 a dispute between "Hilduinum episcopum et Richarium abbatem" relating to “episcopatu Tungrensi”, the king granting the bishopric to Richer[161]. The same source continues by recording that “Herimannus...archiepiscopus” [archbishop of Köln] appointed “Hilduinus”, who at first was also supported by “Gisleberto” (who had left “Karolo rege” and been appointed “principi” by “plurimi Lotharienses”). Sigebert's Chronica records in 921 that, after the death of "Stephano Leodicensium episcopo", “Richarius” was ordained bishop “a Karolo per auctoritatem papæ Romani”, rejecting “Hilduino qui pecunia data duci Gisleberto ambiebat ab eo sibi dari episcopatum”[162]. The Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium records the succession of “Richarius...abbas Prumiensis et Stabulensis a rege Francorum Karolo Simplico electus per auctoritatem pape Iohannis...decimi”[163]. The Annales Lobienses record the death in 920 of "Stephanus episcopus Leodicensium" and the dispute between "Hilduinum et Richarium" over which should succeed, Hilduin being supported by "Gisleberti ducis" and Richer by "Karolus" as well as the Pope, and record the election of "Richarius" in 922[164]. Flodoard records in 922 the return from Rome of "Richarius" after his ordination by “Iohanne papa” [Pope John X], who excommunicated “Hilduino”[165]. Flodoard records in 933 that “Richarius episcopus Tungrensis” invaded “castellum Bernardi comitis”, which he had built “apud Harceias in pago Porcinse”, because it was situated “in suæ ecclesiæ terra”[166]. The Annales Stabulenses record the death in 945 of "Richeri episcopi"[167]. The Annales Lobienses record the death in 945 of "Richarius Leodicensium episcopus" and the succession of "Uhogo"[168]. The Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium records the death “X Kal Aug” 945 of “Richarius” after holding office for 24 years and his burial “in ecclesia sancti Petri”[169]. The Liber Memorialis of Remiremont records the death "X Kal Aug" of "Richerus episcopus"[170].
No primary source has yet been identified which indicates the family origin of Bishop Hugues/Hugo. It is not even known whether he was of Germanic or French origin. The name Hugues/Hugo is of course closely associated with the families of the Grafen im Nordgau (in which the names Gerhard and Matfried are also found, indicating a possible connection with the Matfriede family of Bishop Richer) and the Grafen im Sundgau, both in Alsace (see the document ALSACE), and with the future Capet kings of France (see FRANCE CAPETIAN KINGS).
1. HUGUES/HUGO (-11 Apr 947). Provost of Trier St Maximin. Abbot of Trier St Maximin 934. The Continuator of Regino records the election in 934 of “ecclesia sancti Maximini...Ougo antea præpositus, abba”[171]. Bishop of Liège 945. Flodoard records in 946 that, after the death of “Richario Tungrensium præsule”, “rex Otho” granted “idem episcopium” to “Hugoni abbati monasterii sancti Maximini”[172]. The Continuator of Regino records the death in 945 of “Richarius episcopus”,and the succession of “Ougo Treverencis abbas in episcopatu”[173]. Flodoard records the succesion in 945, after the death of “Richario Tungrensium præsule”, of “Hugoni abbati monasterio sancti Maximini”[174]. The Annales Lobienses record the death in 945 of "Richarius Leodicensium episcopus" and the succession of "Uhogo"[175]. The Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensis records that “Hugonem” was appointed bishop of Liège in succession to Richer[176]. The Annales Lobienses record the death in 947 of "Uhogo episcopus" and the succession of "Farebertus"[177]. The Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium records the death “III Id Apr” 947 of “Hugo”[178]. The necrology of Trier St Maximin commemorates “VII Kal Feb Ogo abbas hujus loci postea Tungrensis episcopus”[179].
It is likely that the family of Bishop Farabert was related in some way to the Matfriede family of his predecessor Bishop Richer. This is indicated by Richer´s predecessor as abbot of Prüm also bearing the name Farabert, assuming the correctness of the hypothesis that successors to ecclesiastical positions were at that time often closely related to their predecessors.
1. FARABERT (-892). Regino records the death “IV Id Jul” 886 of “Ansbaldus abba Prumensis cœnobii” and the succession “VIII Id Aug” of "Farabertus venerabilis pater"[180]. Abbot of Prüm. Regino records the death in 892 of “Farabertus abba Prumensis cœnobii” and the election of "Richarium, fratrem Gerhardi et Mathfridi" [the future Richer Bishop of Liège, see above] as his successor[181]. 2. [--- . Their names indicate that Farabert Bishop of Liège was closely related to Farabert Abbot of Prüm. The precise relationship is not known. For presentational purposes only in the present document, Bishop Farabert is shown as the nephew of Abbot Farabert. There is no precise indication of respective birth dates of either. The description of the abbot as “venerabilis” in the source quoted below may suggest a certain degree of maturity when he was appointed to the abbacy. However, the chronology shows that his successor Richer, the future bishop of Liège, must have been relatively young when he was appointed in 892 as his death is dated to 945. This isolated case cannot be used to argue that an abbatial appointment was considered at the time as one of the first steps in an ecclesiastical career. However, if that were the case, it is possible that Bishop Farabert would have belonged to the generation subsequent to Abbot Farabert, in which case it is not impossible that one of the parents of the former was the sibling of the latter.] m ---. [One child]: a) [FARABERT (-28 Aug 953). Bishop of Liège 947. The Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensis records that “Farabertus ex abbate Prumiensi” was appointed bishop of Liège in succession to Hugues[182]. The Annales Lobienses record the death in 947 of "Uhogo episcopus" and the succession of "Farebertus"[183]. The Annales Stabulenses record the election in 947 of "Farabertus"[184]. The Annales Lobienses record the death in 953 of "Farabertus Leodicensium episcopus" and the succession of "Ratherius"[185]. The Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium records the death “V Kal Sep” 953 of “Farabertus”[186]. The necrology of Brogne records the death "V Kal Sep" of "domnus Farabertus episcopus" and his donation[187].]
No primary source has yet been identified which indicates the family origin of Bishop Rather. The only clue is provided by the Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium which records his origin as “ex nostris partibus oriundus” (see below). Rather was the name of a count in the circle of Lothaire II King of Lotharingia in the mid-9th century: the Annales Bertiniani record that "de comitibus Milo, Ratharius, Herlandus, Theutmarus, Weremboldus, Rocolfus, comes" witnessed the agreement dated 865 under which Lothaire II King of Lotharingia agreed to take his wife Theutberga back[188] (see the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY). No indication has yet been found of his family connections.
1. RATHER (-Laub 974). Bishop of Verona. Sigebert's Chronica records in 928 that "Ratherius Lobiensis monachus...cum Hilduino, qui in Lotharingia episcopatum Leodicensem olim ambierat" went to Italy where he was appointed “Veronæ episcopus” by “regem...Hugone”[189]. Bishop of Liège 953. The Annales Lobienses record the death in 953 of "Farabertus Leodicensium episcopus" and the succession of "Ratherius"[190]. Sigebert's Chronica records in 954 that, after "Farabertum", Bruno Archbishop of Köln appointed “Ratherius bis episcopatu Veronensi depulsus” as “Leodicensium episcopus”[191]. The Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium records the succession of “Ratherius ex nostris partibus oriundus”[192]. The Annales Lobienses record that "Ratherio" was expelled and "Baldricus" succeeded to "Leodicensium episcopium"[193]. Sigebert's Chronica records in 956 that, after "Ratherio ab episcopatu Leodicensium eiecto", “Baldricus annuente avunculo suo Raginero comite Montinese” was appointed bishop[194]. Sigebert's Chronica records the death in 974 "apud Lobias" of “Ratherius de quo hoc monosticum: Veronæ presul, sed ter Ratherius exul”[195].
Baldric [I] was the first bishop of Liège who belonged to the family of the future comtes de Looz. The holdings of that family in the late 9th and early 10th centuries were located in the Rhine estuary area, in the territory which later evolved as the duchy of Lower Lotharingia, in contrast to the Matfriede (whose members included Bishop Richer and possibly some of his predecessors as explained above) who operated in Upper Lotharingia.
1. BALDRIC [I], son of NIBELUNG Graaf van Betuwe & his wife --- de Hainaut (-20 Apr 959, bur Liège St Jacques). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 24 Jun 943 under which [his paternal uncle] “Baldricus...Traiectensis ecclæsie...presul...per manus advocati mei Folberti”, addressing [Baldric´s mother as] “nobilissime probateque Deo sacrate” [unnamed], granted “res...de abbatia...Hereberc...mansos...Rura, Liethorp, Linne, Sulethum, Flothorp, Ascolon, Malicalieol, Curnelo” to “filius vester...Baldricus in vita sua...post eum Rodulfus frater suus”, for the souls of “genitoris nostri Raineri comitis et insuper Nevelungi senioris vestri”[196]. Abbot of Lobbes. The Gesta Abbatum Gemblacensium records that "Raginero comiti…Longicollus…primi Baldrici Leodicensium episcopi avunculus" granted his nephew the benefice of "abbatiam Lobiensem"[197]. Bishop of Liège 955. The Gesta Abbatum Gemblacensium records the installation of "Baldricus" as bishop of Liège in 955[198]. The Annales Lobienses record that "Ratherio" was expelled and "Baldricus" succeeded to "Leodicensium episcopium"[199]. Sigebert's Chronica records in 956 that, after "Ratherio ab episcopatu Leodicensium eiecto", “Baldricus annuente avunculo suo Raginero comite Montinese” was appointed bishop[200]. The Annales Stabulenses record the death in 959 of "Baldricus episcopus" and the succession of "Everacrus"[201]. The Annales Lobienses record the death in 959 of "Baldricus Leodicensium episcopus" and the successsion of "Everacrus"[202].
No primary source has yet been identified which indicates the precise family origin of Bishop Everaclus. As noted below, the Vita Evracli records that he was "Saxonum…sanguine…oriundus" without giving any specific details. No other reference has been found to the name “Everacrus/Everaclus”, although the first element “Ever-“ is reminiscent of “Eber-“ in Eberhard and Eberwin, the latter being the name of a count around Merseburg in the late 9th century (see the document GERMANY, EARLY NOBILITY). The second element “-acrus” recalls “-acer” in Odacre/Odoacar, the name found in a 9th/10th century Lotharingian comital family.
1. EVERACRUS [Everaclus] (-27 Oct 971, bur Liège Saint-Martin). Bishop of Liège 959. The Annales Stabulenses record the death in 959 of "Baldricus episcopus" and the succession of "Everacrus"[203]. The Annales Lobienses record the death in 959 of "Baldricus Leodicensium episcopus" and the successsion of "Everacrus"[204]. The Vita Evracli records that "Evraclus" was "Saxonum…sanguine…oriundus"[205]. Sigebert's Chronica records in 960 that, after "Baldricum", “Euraclus” was appointed “episcopus Leodicensium” and founded two monasteries in the town “ad titulum sancti Pauli apostoli, et ad titulum sancti Martini episcopi”[206]. The Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensis records that “Everacrus cisalpinæ Veronæ præpositus quæ vulgo Bunna dicitur” was appointed bishop of Liège in succession to Baldric[207]. The Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensis records that “Everacrus [episcopus]” died after 12 years in office and was buried “in æcclesia beati Martini”[208]. The Annales Lobienses record the death "VI Kal Nov" 971 of "domnus Everacrus Leodicensium episcopus"[209].
[Two brothers]. Bishop Notger was almost certainly a member of the Ekkehard/Notger family who provided several ecclesiastical dignitaries to the abbey of Sankt-Gallen in present-day northern Switzerland. As shown below, the Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensis records the bishop as “genere quidem Alamannus”, and the Annales Hildesheimensis name him “Nohtgerus prepositus monasterii beati Galli, Leodicensis præsul” when recording his death (see below). The family in Swabia is mentioned by the Annales Sangallenses Maiores, which record the death in 912 of “Notkerus magister” and the installation in 971 (973) of “Notkerus abba”[210], and in greater detail by the Ekkehardi IV. Casus S. Galli[211]. An outline reconstruction of the family of Notger Abbot of Sankt-Gallen, comprising the agnatic and cognatic descendants of Ekkehard [I] who are named in the Ekkehardi IV. Casus S. Galli, is attempted by the editor of the MGH SS edition of the source but no mention is made either of Notger Bishop of Liège or of a “prepositus” of Sankt-Gallen of that name[212]. None of the charters of Sankt-Gallen name a “prepositus” named Notger: a charter dated [2 Feb 968/1 Feb 969] names “Adalberonis præpositi”[213], which leaves little time for Notger to have succeeded as prepositus before his election as bishop of Liège in 972. Bishop Notger came from outside the mainly Lotharingian-based circle which had provided earlier bishops of Liège. The reason for this choice of an outsider for the episcopal seat is unclear. His election occurred in 972, one year before the death of the childless Burkhard III Duke of Swabia. In 973, Emperor Otto II appointed his own nephew Otto as duke of Swabia. One speculative possibility is that the Saxon imperial dynasty was already extending its control over Swabia in the previous year, and that the appointment of a Swabian ecclesiastic as a Lotharingian-based bishop formed part of a wider plan to bring the Swabian noble class more closely into the imperial fold.

Bishop Baldric [II] was related to Bishop Baldric [I] but, as explained in the document LOWER LOTHARINGIA NOBILITY, the precise relationship is unclear as there are difficulties in accurately reconstructing the early generations of the family of the future Comtes de Looz.

The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1194 the election of "apud Leodium Symon ducis Henrici de Lemborgh filius frater Galeranni, consobrinus episcopi Alberti nuper defuncti", the counter-election supported by “Balduino comite...apud Namucem” of “archidyaconus Albertus de Cuic” who gained control of “castrum de Hoio” but did not enter Liège for two years, the journey made by both candidates to Rome where “Symon” was poisoned, died “Kal Aug...cum multi sue ecclesie canonici” and was buried “in ecclesia Lateranensi”[343]. The Continuatio Aquicinctina of Sigebert's Chronica records in 1195 that Pope Celestine III annulled the election of “Symonis Leodicensis” and confirmed “Autberti”, but that rumours reached Liège that the latter had died in Rome, whereupon “canonicum Philippi de Falconis monte filium”[344]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1194 that, after the death in Rome of "Symonem" his supporters elected “archidyaconum Ottonem...fratrem Gosuini de Monte Falconis, primo in prepositum et post in episcopum” in opposition to “archidyaconus Hugo nepos prepositi defuncti frater Roberti de Petraponte domni”, that Otto soon died, but that “Albertus” had remained in Rome, accepted bribes from Romans, and had already been able to secure the annulment of Otto´s consecration[345].

He was named in the Feb 1233 testament of his brother Pierre[353]. The Annals of Dunstable record that “electus Valenciæ, avunculus reginæ nostræ” arrived in England in 1237 and was made the king´s principle adviser (“consiliarius regis principalis”) and granted the honor of Richmond[354]. Matthew of Paris records that he was adviser to Henry III King of England but left the country after quarrelling with the barons, but was permitted to return by the king[355], which represents the earliest reference in this source to the problems caused by relations of Queen Eléonore. The king proposed his election as Bishop of Winchester in 1238, but the church council elected Ralph Neville, whose election was quashed by the Pope after intervention by the king[356]. He was elected Bishop of Liège in 1238. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the election “in crastino sancti Iohannis” in 1238 of the new bishop of Liège, where “primicerius Metensis Iacobus...prepositus Leodiensis et frater ducis de Nanceio” supported the candidacy of “preposito Ottoni Aquensi”, while “archdyaconus...Galtherus frater comitis de Retest” supported “fratri comitis Flandrie...electo Valentie Guillelmo”.

Matthew Paris records the death "die omnium Sanctorum…venenatus Viterbii" in 1239 of "Guillelmus de Sabaudia electus Valentinus"[358].

The Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium records the death “in partibus Transalpinis” in Oct 1239 of Bishop Guillaume and his burial “in civitate Florentia”[360].

The Vita Radbodi records that he was "ab…Francorum parentibus…patriam rustice Lomochanum"[391], which Vanderkindere takes to be a reference to the pagus Lommensis, later Namur[392]. The Chronologia Johannes de Beke records that "dominus Radbodus" was elected Bishop of Utrecht after the death of Bishop Egilbold and specifies that "Radbodus rex Frisie predictus ipsius matris attavus" and that "Guntarius archiepiscopus Coloniensis eius avunculus"[393].

Thietmar names Count Ansfrid who "sprung from the high lineage of his ancestors", specifying that he was brought up by Bruno Archbishop of Köln, became sword-bearer of Emperor Otto when the latter entered Rome, and founded the abbey of Thorn[401].
