The disparate development of Saxony as a territory, contrasting with the more centralised evolution of the other ancient German provinces, in particular Bavaria, is discussed in the Introduction to the document SAXONY DUKES & ELECTORS. Early sources reveal the names of numerous counts in Saxony between the 9th and 11th centuries, details of whom are set out in the document GERMANY, EARLY NOBILITY in which the sparse amount of available information on the family relationships of the early nobility is striking. This means that, not only is reliable family reconstruction virtually impossible, but also the way in which titles and territories were transmitted between generations is unclear. It is reasonable to suppose that, just as in later centuries, the nobility was a close-knit community and that their successors in the 11th century onwards were descendants of their 9th and 10th century counterparts. However, no example has yet been found of a proven family connection between these early individuals and later noble families in Saxony. A tantalising glimpse into the possibilities is provided by what could be termed "parallel" families which can be partially reconstructed from relationships between ecclesiastical dignitaries which are referred to in primary sources. As an example, the Annalista Saxo records the family connections of the first four bishops of Hildesheim although it names no lay individuals in their families apart from the parents of the first bishop[1]. It is unimaginable that such church families were not closely related to their noble lay counterparts, but proving such family relationships is impossible because of the absence of sufficiently precise contemporary documentation.

The current document sets out the families of later Saxon nobility, mainly dating from the 11th century or later, from which time the available records permit more reliable reconstruction of family relationships. The process of noble enfeoffment in Saxony evolved over time. Several distinct phases in this evolution can be identified as follows:

Many 9th and 10th century descendants of the three leading families in the Saxon heartland, successively those of Widukind, Liudolf and Hermann Billung, are referred to in primary sources with the comital title. It is evident that such families were able to create a network of power within Saxony but in no case is it possible to trace these titles to any formal enfeoffment. The families of these Saxon nobles are shown in the document SAXONY DUKES & ELECTORS.
Some 10th century/early 11th century counts are associated in contemporary documentation with specific places, for instance the Grafen von Alsleben, Arnsberg, Haldensleben, Katlenberg, Northeim, Querfurt, Stade, Walbeck and Werl. Some of these noble families developed extensive local territorial power-bases within Saxony, notably the county of Stade on the North Sea coast about which there is considerable surviving contemporary documentation. Most of these comital families died out in the male line before the 13th century. Their counties passed to the duke of Saxony of the time and were incorporated into the duke's personal territorial landholdings. Heinrich "der Löwe" was the most successful duke in acquiring additional Saxon territories by inheritance or aggression, including the lands of the counts of Northeim, Stade and Winzenburg. He also acquired the estates of Herzberg, Scharzfels and Pöhlde south of the Harz in 1158 from Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa", in exchange for Badenweiler and other Swabian lands[2].
The Billung dukes appointed a network of Vizevögte to maintain authority in Saxony. In many cases, the title-holders were able to build up extensive domains of their own. Examples of these ducal fiefholders were the Schwalenberger (west of the middle Weser), the Herren von Everstein (north of Holzminden), and the Herren von Roden (originally from the Weser Mountains, but who became vassals in the region of Hannover)[3].
Similar appointments were made by Lothar von Süpplingenburg after he became duke of Saxony. For example, Duke Lothar awarded the countship of Holstein and Stormarn in the northern frontier area to Adolf von Schauenburg, the land east of the Weser in the northern part of the Minden diocese to the Herren von Wölpe, and land in part of the Harzgau to the Herren von Blankenburg.
Duke Lothar also appointed his own household officers (ministeriales) as administrators of different areas, installing lords over Blankenburg (a different family from the counts), Heimburg, Dahlum (near Schöningen), the Leinegau north of Göttingen, Peine, Volkmarode (near Brunswick), Weida, and Wolfenbüttel[4].
After duke Lothar was elected king of Germany in 1125, he created imperial fiefdoms in Saxony, for example the countship on both borders of the Oker which he awarded to the Herren von Wöltingerode, the countship of Wernigerode, and (south of the Harz) the countships of Scharzfels, Ilfeld-Honstein, and perhaps Rothenburg.
The creations made by Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony included the countships of Ratzeburg in 1143 and Schwerin in 1167. The counties of Lüchow and Dannenberg were established in the Hannoversches Wendland, on the left bank of the Elbe, in the mid-12th century, although Jordan postulates the view that these were independent domains established by members of the nobility from the Altmark who took part in the Wendish crusade of 1147 rather than counties of colonisation created by Duke Heinrich[5].
References to other counties emerge in the documentation for the first time in the late 11th/early 12th centuries, although it has not been possible to trace these back to particular creations. Examples are the Graven von Ravensberg and the Grafen von Cappenberg. It is probable that they were the successors of nobles recorded in primary sources dating to the 11th century or before, although it is not possible to establish these family connections as the earlier records rarely link the names of counts to geographical locations.

This brief analysis reveals a continuous process of enfeoffment and reconsolidation by the dukes of Saxony during the 11th and 12th centuries. New counties were created to reward service or increase administrative control. Old counties were reabsorbed into the ducal land-holdings by inheritance or aggression. In addition, particular local landowners combined skill in acquiring new territories with the good fortune of producing sufficient male heirs, ensuring that their families survived well into modern times. The best examples are the extensive families of the counts (later princes) of Anhalt, dukes of Brunswick, counts of Holstein and counts of Oldenburg, all of whom started from modest beginnings. Details of each of these families are set out in their own respective documents.

Any geographical division of the duchy of Saxony is arbitrary and to some extent anachronistic. From the late 12th century, the duchy was divided, west to east, into three territories: Westfalia, Engern and Ostfalia. However, categorising the Saxon nobility only into these divisions does not adequately reflect the later geographical and political realities. The present document therfore further subdivides each of these territories. The northern part of Westfalia, from the North Sea coast southwards approximately as far as Cloppenburg, which was later dominated by the duchy of Oldenburg, is categorised as “Oldenburg”. The southern part of Westfalia towards the Lower Rhine area remains as “Westfalia”. The northern part of Engern, between the Weser and Elbe rivers, is categorised as “Stade”, the principle county in the area. The territory of Ostfalia is broken down into “Braunschweig” in the north-west (south of the Elbe as far south as Hildesheim, which evolved into the duchy of Braunschweig and Lüneburg), “Northeim” directly south of Braunschweig, “Harz” to the east of Northeim and “Anhalt” further to the east of Harz, while the remaining area to the north-east is called “Ostfalia”. The area north of the river Elbe, later dominated by the county of Holstein is in the present document called “Lauenburg/Nordalbingien”.

Chapter 1. ANHALT

A. GRAFEN von ALSLEBEN

Alsleben is located about 10 kilometres due south of Bernburg in the present-day German state of Sachsen-Anhalt. A county of Alsleben features briefly in primary source documentation at the end of the 10th century. Jackman suggests that Gero Graf von Alsleben was the son of Siegfried (died [959]), son of Markgraf Gero [I] [Meissen][6] (see the document MEISSEN). Although this is not impossible, the chronology would be tight considering the date of Siegfried's marriage ([952]), Gero's death (979), and Gero's daughter marriage in [994]. In addition, it seems surprising that the existence of surviving infant children would not have been mentioned in the sources which record Siegfried's death, his father's subsequent transfer of all his property to the church and foundation of Kloster Gernrode in his memory[7], and the installation of Siegfried's widow as abbess.

Brother and sister, parents not known:

1. GERO (-executed 11 Aug 979). Graf von Alsleben. The Annales Corbeienses record that "Gero comes" was beheaded in 979[8]. Thietmar records that Count Gero was captured at Sömmering, killed Waldo in battle, and was executed on 11 Aug[9]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "11 Aug" of "Gero com"[10]. m ADELA, daughter of ---. "Otto…imperator augustus" granted privileges to Kloster Alsleben founded by "comes Gero…cum consensus…coniugis suæ Adala" by charter dated 20 May 979[11]. Thietmar names Adela wife of Gero when recording that she established a monastery at Alsleben in memory of her brother, jointly with her sister-in-law Tetta[12]. Graf Gero & his wife had one child:

a) ADELA von Alsleben (-1 May ----). The wife of "Sigefrido filio Heinrici comitis de Stathen" is named "Athela" in the Annalista Saxo, which also names their son and two daughters. She is named "Adhelam filiam Geronis comitis de Alesleve" in a later passage[13]. The Chronicon Monasterii Rosenfeld seu Hassefeld records the death “VIII Id Jan” of “Sifridus comes, filius Henrici boni” [which contradicts the sources quoted below] and in the next line “Kal Mai” of “Adela cometissa uxor”[14]. m ([994]) SIEGFRIED [II] Graf von Stade, son of HEINRICH "der Kahle" Graf im Heiangau & his first wife Judith von der Wetterau [Konradiner] ([965]-6 Jan or 1 May 1037).

2. TETTA . Thietmar names Tetta as the sister of Gero when recording that she established a monastery at Alsleben in memory of her brother, jointly with his widow[15].

C. HERREN von GOSECK, HERREN von PUTELENDORF

FRIEDRICH von Goseck, son of --- (-[1042]). Pfalzgraf von Sachsen 1040. Graf im Hassegau.

m AGNES von Weimar, daughter of WILHELM [II] "der Große" Graf von Weimar & his wife ---. The Chronicon Gozecense hints at the correct origin of Agnes, wife of Friedrich von Goseck, when it names "Oudam" as daughter of "comes Fridericus [et] Agnam…de Wimare"[55]. However, according to the Annalista Saxo, the wife of "Fridericus comes" (=Friedrich I Graf von Goseck, Pfalzgraf von Sachsen, from the context) was "filiam Dedonis marchionis, sororem iunioris Dedonis et ex matre Ottonis marchionis de Orlagemunde"[56]. The Genealogica Wettinensis names "Adelhidis…[et] Agnes" as the two daughters of "secundus filius [comitis Tiderici] Dedo" & his wife Oda, naming "Friderico comiti" as wife of Agnes and "Adelbertum archiepiscopum, Dedonem et Fridericum palatinos comites, et filiam nomine Odam quam Adelbertus quidam nobilis cognominatus Seveke de Sumerschenburc accepit uxorem" as their children[57], presumably based on the same source. This Wettin origin is impossible chronologically as the children of Markgraf Dedo must have been born after 1039, the earliest date of his marriage, while Friedrich von Goseck died in [1042].

Pfalzgraf Friedrich & his wife had four children:

1. ADALBERT von Goseck (-Pfalz zu Goslar 16 Mar 1072, bur Bremen Cathedral). The Annalista Saxo names "Adalbertus" as son of "Fridericus comes", when recording his appointment as Archbishop of Bremen[58]. Canon at Halberstadt Cathedral[59] before 1032, provost 1036. The Chronicon Gozecense records his installation as Archbishop of Bremen "1046 Non Nov"[60]. Archbishop of Bremen [1045]. Counsellor of Heinrich IV King of Germany 1062/1066[61].

2. DEDO von Goseck (-killed in battle Pöhlde 5 May 1056, bur Goslar[62]). The Annalista Saxo names "Dedum et Fridericum palatinos comes" as brothers of Adalbert Archbishop of Bremen[63]. Pfalzgraf 1042-1044. Pfalzgraf Dedo had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress:

a) FRIEDRICH (-1100). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Abbot of Goseck. Abbot of St Georg at Naumburg 1081. Abbot of Haldensleben and Hersfeld.

3. FRIEDRICH [II] von Goseck (-Barby 27 May 1088, bur Goseck). The Annalista Saxo names "Dedum et Fridericum palatinos comes" as brothers of Adalbert Archbishop of Bremen[64]. The Chronicon Gozecense records that "Fridericum abbati Fuldensi N, nepoti scilicet suo, nutriendum commendavit"[65]. He succeeded his brother as Pfalzgraf in 1056[66]. "Heinricus…rex" granted the right to a market to "Friderici palatini comitis in loco hereditatis sue Sulza in pago Turinga in comitatum autem Ottonis marchionis" by charter dated 5 Dec 1064[67]. He was banished to Pavia in 1075[68]. The Chronicon Gozecense records the death "1088 6 Kal Iunii" of "senior palatinus Fridericus" and his burial in Goseck monastery[69]. m (before 1063) HEDWIG, daughter of ---. The Chronicon Gozecense names "Hadewigam de Bawaria oriundam, nobilissimam genere" wife of "palatinus Fridericus", without giving a more specific origin[70]. Pfalzgraf Friedrich [II] & his wife had one child:

a) FRIEDRICH [III] von Goseck (-murdered near Scheiplitz 5 Feb 1085, bur Goseck). The Annalista Saxo names "palatinus comes Fridericus" as son of Friedrich [II], when recording that he was murdered by "Lodewicus comes de Thuringia"[71]. The Chronicon Gozecense records that "iunior palatinus Fridericus" was murdered "1085 Non Feb" by "duo fratres Theodericus et Udalricus de Deidenlibe, et Reinhardus de Runenstide" and buried in Goseck monastery[72]. m ([1081]) as her first husband, ADELHEID von Stade, daughter of LOTHAR UDO II Graf von Stade Markgraf der Nordmark & his wife Oda von Werl (-8 Oct or 14 Nov 1110, bur Reinhardsbrunn). The Annalista Saxo records that the wife of Friedrich [II] was "sororem Udonis marchionis", as well as her second marriage to "Lodewicus comes de Thuringia" who had murdered her first husband[73]. She is named "Adelheida" in a later passage[74]. The Chronicon Gozecense records her second marriage to "Ludewico"[75]. She married secondly (1087) Ludwig "der Salier/der Springer" Graf in Thuringia. Friedrich [III] & his wife had two children:

i) BERTHA von Gleissberg (-after 1137). She founded Kloster Bürgel with her husband in 1133. m HEINRICH Graf von Groitzsch Burggraf von Magdeburg, Markgraf der Lausitz, son of WIPRECHT [II] Graf von Groitzsch [later Markgraf von Meissen] & his first wife Judith of Bohemia (-Mainz 31 Dec 1135).

ii) FRIEDRICH [IV] von Putelendorf (posthumously 1085 after 5 Feb-Dingelstedt [26 Jun] 1125, bur Halberstadt). The Chronicon Gozecense records the birth of a posthumous son to "domina Adelheit palatine…quem ex nomine patris Fridericum appellavit"[76]. He is named son of "palatinus comes Fridericus" & his wife in the Annalista Saxo, specifying that he was born posthumously[77]. He was imprisoned by Heinrich V King of Germany 1112/14. Pfalzgraf 1114. The Annalista Saxo records the death in 1125 of "Fridericus filius Friderici palatine comitis"[78]. The Chronicon Gozecense specifies that he died "apud Thiggelstede" and was buried in Halberstadt[79]. m as her first husband, AGNES van Limburg, daughter of HENDRIK [I] Graaf van Limburg, Duke of Lower Lotharingia & his [second] wife Adelheid von Botenstein (-1136). The Annalista Saxo names her first of the two daughters of "Heinricus dux de Lintburh" and his wife Adelheid von Botenstein, also naming her husband "Friderico comiti palatino de Putelenthorp"[80]. A later passage names her second husband "Walo iunior de Vakenstide" but incorrectly calls her "sororem Heinrici ducis de Lintburh"[81]. The Chronicon Gozecense names "Agnem, Heinrici ducis de Lintburc filiam" as wife of "palatinus Fridericus"[82]. A later passage names her second husband "Walo iunior de Vakenstide" but also incorrectly calls her "sororem Heinrici ducis de Lintburh"[83]. She married secondly Walo "der Jüngere" von Veckenstedt (-murdered 1126). Pfalzgraf Friedrich [IV] & his wife had [three] children:

(a) HEINRICH von Putelendorf (before 1114-[1125/26], bur Sulza). The Chronicon Gozecense names two sons "Heinricum et Fridericum" of "palatinus Fridericus" and his wife Agnes, specifying that Heinrich was prepared for a military career[84]. The Chronicon Gozecense records the death of "Agnetis palatinæ filius Heinricus puer" and that he was buried "apud Sulze"[85].

(b) FRIEDRICH [V] von Putelendorf (before 1114-31 Jan 1179). The Chronicon Gozecense names two sons "Heinricum et Fridericum" of "palatinus Fridericus" and his wife Agnes, specifying that Friedrich became canon "apud Parthenopolim"[86]. The Chronicon Gozecense records that, after his brother's death, "Fridericus frater eius germanus" was removed from the monastery (presumably Goseck), knighted and betrothed[87]. The Chronicon Gozecense records that "dominus Fridericus, Agnæ palatinæ filius" was removed from military life by "Nortberti archiepiscopi" and returned to the spiritual life at "Parthenopolim"[88]. Canon at Magdeburg Cathedral 1147. Bishop of Prague 1169. Betrothed (after 1126) to GISELA von Schwarzburg, daughter of SIZZO [II] Graf von Schwarzburg & his wife Gisela von Berg. The Chronicon Gozecense records the betrothal of "Fridericus frater eius germanus" to "Sizzonis comitis filia"[89]. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified.

(c) [BERTHA (-after 1182, bur Trostadt). According to Spangenberg, Bertha wife of Berthold [I] Graf von Henneberg was “eine geborne Pfalgräfin zu Sachsen” (without citing the primary source on which he bases this statement)[90]. If this origin is correct, from a chronological point of view she could have been the daughter of Friedrich [IV] von Putelendorf Pfalzgraf von Sachsen, as shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[91]. It should be emphasised that no primary source has been identified which confirms Bertha’s family origin. “Bobpo comes de Hennenberc...genetrix nostra Berhda comitissa...et germane nostre...Irmingardis palatina Rheni et Lwggardis palatina de Saxonia” donated property “in Hindirnahe” to Kloster Vessra, to take effect after the death of their mother, by undated charter[92]. Hermann Bishop of Münster records a donation made by “Bobpo comes cognatus noster...cum matre Berhda” by charter dated 1182[93]. m BERTHOLD [I] Graf von Henneberg, son of GOTEBOLD [II] Graf von Henneberg & his wife Liutgard --- (-18 Oct [1159]).]

4. OUDA [Hilaria] von Goseck (-near Zorbau 1088, bur Goseck). The Chronicon Gozecense names "Oudam" as daughter of "comes Fridericus [et] Agnam…de Wimare"[94]. The same source records the death "apud curtim suam Zurbowo" of "soror domini palatine Ouda" about the same time as the death of her brother and her burial in Goseck monastery, specifying that her real name was "Hilaria, sed quia lingua Teuthonica…nomen mutavit Ouda"[95]. The Genealogica Wettinensis names "Adelbertum archiepiscopum, Dedonem et Fridericum palatinos comites, et filiam nomine Odam quam Adelbertus quidam nobilis cognominatus Seveke de Sumerschenburc accepit uxorem" as children of "Friderico comiti" & his wife Agnes[96], although as noted above it incorrectly identifies the origin of Agnes. m ADALBERT [Sevecco] von Sommerschenburg, son of ---.

D. GRAFEN von PLÖTZKAU

The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. [According to Europäische Stammtafeln[157], she married secondly Bruno [VI] Graf von Braunschweig.

m ODA von Haldensleben, daughter of BERNHARD von Haldensleben Markgraf der Nordmark & his wife ---. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified.

Graf Christian & his wife had two children:

Europäische Stammtafeln[163] says that Gisela's first husband was Arnold Graf von Diessen. The Annalista Saxo makes no mention of such an earlier marriage. In addition, Gisela, wife of Arnold, was described as "uxor comitis Arnoldi" in the record of her death in the Diessen necrology, which suggests that she predeceased Arnold or at least that Arnold had been her only husband. In any case, if Gisela, wife of Arnold, had left Bavaria for Saxony to marry a second time it is less likely that her death would have been recorded at Diessen. m secondly ([1096]) BERTHA [von Camburg, daughter of WILHELM Graf von Camburg [Wettin] & his wife Geva Gräfin von Seeburg] ([1075]-before [1152], maybe 1150 or before).

Posse discusses her possible family origin, noting that “die Annahme Cohns (Neue Mittheil. 11, 138), dass sie vielleicht eine Tochter des Grafen Wilhelm von Camburg...gewesen, hat viel für sich, zumal sich dadurch erklären würde, wie gewisse Güter, die ursprunglich offenbar zum Besitze des Hauses Wettin gehörten, in den Besitz des Seeburgischen Hauses haben übergehen können”, suggests her birth “um 1075”, her marriage “um 1090”, and her death “vor 1152, vermuthlich aber spätestens 1150”[165]. Graf Wichmann & his second wife had three children:

a) GERO von Seeburg (12 Jul 1097-19 Sep 1133, bur Kloster Kaldenborn).

D. GRAFEN von SÜPPLINGENBURG

The castle of Süpplingenburg was located about 5 kilometres east of Königslutter and 20 kilometres east of Braunschweig, in the south of the present day German state of Niedersachsen. The choice of Lothar von Süpplingenburg to succeed as duke of Saxony, after the extinction of the male line of the Billung family in 1106, was presumably designed to limit the growing influence of the two more obvious candidates, Heinrich "der Schwarze" of the Welf dynasty and Otto Graf von Ballenstedt of the Askanian dynasty, the two sons-in-law of the last Billung Duke Magnus. From his maternal grandmother, Duke Lothar inherited the important county of Haldensleben in the north-eastern foreland of the Harz, and from his mother-in-law the Brunswick territories which included the castle of Katlenburg to the east of Northeim[309].

1. LIUTGER . Graf 1013. Graf im Harzgau 1021. 1031.

2. LIUTHER (-after 2 Jan 1049). According to Europäische Stammtafeln[310], Liuther and Bernhard were possible sons of Graf Liutger. The proposed relationship between Liuther and Bernhard is presumably based on their being named together in a charter dated 1063 (see below), and the connection with Liutger because both he and Bernhard are recorded as counts in Harzgau, although other examples demonstrate that the common holding of countships in the same area is not inevitably based on family relationship. "Heinricus…Romanorum imperator augustus" granted property "villam Vpelingon in pago Nortvringon in comitatu Liuthari comitis" to the church of Halberstadt by charter dated 2 Jan 1049[311]. "Heinricus…rex" confirmed privileges to the church of Halberstadt by charter dated 7 Aug 1063, which records the prior grant of two counties to the church "unum Bernhardi sive filii eius Gebehardi comitum, alterum Liutherii comitis" by Emperor Heinrich III[312]. There is no proof that Graf Liuther was related to the Süpplingenburg family. However, his being named in the 1063 charter with Graf Bernhard suggests that there may have been a family connection. It is not clear from the text of the 1063 charter whether Graf Liuthar was still alive at that date.

3. BERNHARD (-before 1069). According to Europäische Stammtafeln[313], Liuther and Bernhard were possible sons of Graf Liutger. The proposed relationship between Liuther and Bernhard is presumably based on their being named together in a charter dated 1063 (see below), and the connection with Liutger because both he and Bernhard are recorded as counts in Harzgau, although other examples demonstrate that the common holding of countships in the same area is not inevitably based on family relationship. Graf im Harzgau und Derlingau und in Nordthüringen: "Heinricus…Romanorum imperator augustus" donated "talem comitatum qualem Bernhardus comes in pagis Hartegouwe ac Derlingon partimque in Northuringon nec non Belchesheim obtinuit" to the church of Halberstadt by charter dated 17 Jan 1052[314]. "Heinricus…rex" confirmed privileges to the church of Halberstadt by charter dated 7 Aug 1063, which records the prior grant of two counties to the church "unum Bernhardi sive filii eius Gebehardi comitum, alterum Liutherii comitis" by Emperor Heinrich III[315]. "Heinricus…rex" granted "comitatum Bernhardi comitis" to the church of Bremen-Hamburg by charter dated 24 Oct 1063, with the consent of "Ottonis Baiuuariorum ducis, Bertoldi ducis, Ottonis marchionis, Fritherici comitis palatine, Ekkiberti comitis"[316]. m IDA von Querfurt, daughter of GEBHARD [I] Graf von Querfurt & his wife ---. The Annalista Saxo names "Burchardum et Ida" as children of Gebhard, specifying that Ida was mother of Gerhard and grandmother of "Lotharii inperatoris"[317]. Graf Bernhard & his wife had two children:

A supporter of the nobles who opposed Heinrich IV King of Germany, he incited the rebellion of Saxony and was killed in battle fighting the king's forces[321]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "9 Jun" of "Geuehardus com"[322]. The Chronicon Garstense records that "Ernust marchio Austrie et Gebehardus pater Lotharii postea imperatoris" were killed in the Saxon wars in 1075 "iuxta fluvium…(Unstrutt)"[323].

m as her first husband, HEDWIG von Formbach, daughter of FRIEDRICH Graf von Formbach & his wife Gertrud von Haldensleben. The Vita Wirntonis names "Fridericus" as father of "Hedwigis, mater Lotharii regis"[324]. According to the 14th century Genealogia comitum Neuburgensium sive Formbacensium, "Hadewic mater Lotharii regis et Ite comitisse de Purchausen" was the only daughter of "Fridericus senioris Tiemonis filius" & his wife[325]. She married secondly ([1080]) as his first wife, Thierry II Duke of Lorraine. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified.

Graf Gerhard & his wife had two children:

1. IDA (-3 Mar [1138], bur Michaelstein). The Notæ Genealogicæ Bavaricæ name "Lotharii regis et Ite comitisse de Purchausen" as children of "Hadewic"[326]. Pope Innocent III took Kloster Michaelbeuren under his protection 7 Jun 1137 at the request of Gräfin Ida and her sons Grafen Gebehard and Sigehard, nephews of Emperor Lothar, the document also naming Sigehard Patriarch of Aquileja, his mother Bilihilt, Graf Sigehard and his brother Friedrich[327]. The necrology of Salzburg St Rudpert records the death "V Non Mar" of "Ita com de Purchhusen"[328]. The necrology of Michaelbeuern records the death "V Non Mar" of "Ita com"[329].

The Notæ Genealogicæ Bavaricæ name "Lotharii regis et Ite comitisse de Purchausen" as children of "Hadewic"[332]. He was invested as LOTHAR Duke of Saxony in 1106 by Heinrich V King of Germany after the death of Magnus Billung Duke of Saxony[333]. “Dux Liudiger eiusque...contectalis Richize” donated property “in Maretegeshufen” to Helmarshausen, with the consent of “Gerthrudis com...heredis sue”, undated[334].

The precise family relationship between Otto von Everstein and the confirmant has not been ascertained: presumably it was through his maternal grandmother.

b) WALTER . “Otto...comes de Everstein” donated property to Stift Hameln, with the consent of “filiorum nostrorum...prepositi Waltheri, Conradi canonici Trajectensis, comitis Alberti”, by charter dated [1245/46][593].

However, this assumption is not inevitable, as shown by the charter dated 21 Jul 1277 under which “Lodewicus...comes de Euerstene” donated property to Kloster Wilbadessen, in the presence of “frater noster comes Otto et avunculus noster comes Ludolfus de Dasle...”[598], in which “avunculus” appears to indicate a nephew or cousin relationship, depending on which of the named individuals the term refers. “Clement. vidua comitis de Dasle, Adolfus, Ludolfus et Wilbrandus filii eius” granted property “in villa Wilschethe” to Otto Duke of Brunswick by charter dated 1238[599]. m (before 15 May 1231) LUDOLF [IV] Graf von Dassel, son of ADOLF [I] Graf von Dassel & his wife Clementia von Schwarzburg (-before 1238).]

This county covered the territory which was later known as Lauenburg[1362]. The primary sources which confirm the parentage and marriages of members of this family have not yet been identified, unless otherwise shown below.

Three brothers, parents not known:

1. HEINRICH von Badewide (-after 18 Oct 1163). A member of a knightly family from the Lüneburg district, he was installed as Graf von Holstein und Stormarn in 1138 by Albrecht "der Bär" Markgraf von Brandenburg after Graf Adolf II was deposed[1363].

Arnold's Chronica Slavorum names "Bernardi comitis de Racesburg" among leaders of the army organised by Heinrich Duke of Saxony to suppress a revolt in Westfalia[1372], undated but the date 1 Aug 1179 is inserted in the margin of the edition. Arnold's Chronica Slavorum records that "comitem Bernardum de Racesburch" and his castle were captured by Heinrich Duke of Saxony[1373], undated but the date 1180 is inserted in the margin of the edition. During the absence of Adolf III Graf von Holstein on crusade in 1180, Graf Bernhard and Helmold Graf von Schwerin occupied his fortresses at Hamburg, Plön and Itzehoe[1374]. m (before 1162) MARGARETA [von Pommern], daughter of RATIBOR [I] Duke [of Pomerania] & his wife Pribislava [Iaroslavna]. Arnold's Chronica Slavorum names "Margaretam…filiam Ratibor principis Pomeranorum" as wife of "Bernardum"[1375]. Arnold's Chronica Slavorum records that the (unnamed) wife of "comitem Bernardum de Racesburch" was captured with her husband by Heinrich Duke of Saxony[1376], undated but the date 1180 is inserted in the margin of the edition.

The corresponding charter dated 1097 records that “matrone Cunihildis” donated “9 mansos et 1 molendinum” with the consent of her son Reinold[1389]. Dietrich & his wife had one child:

a) REINOLD [I] (-after 1097). “Nobilis Thiedericus...eiusque conjunx Cunihild” donated “ecclesie hobam I...” to Helmarshausen, with the consent of “heredis sui Reinoldi”, undated[1390]. “Nobilis Reinold cum consensu matris scilicet heredis sue” donated “X hobas...et tribus mancipiis et molendino pro XXXII marcis” to Helmarshausen, undated[1391]. The corresponding charter dated 1097 records that “matrone Cunihildis” donated “9 mansos et 1 molendinum” with the consent of her son Reinold[1392].

1. REINOLD [II] von Dassel (-after 1127). Schrader suggests that Reinold [II] von Dassel was the same person as Reinold [I] who is named above, indicating that he was named last in 1127[1393]. [Graf: a charter dated 1113 records that "Sigiberti" donated certain property to Corvey, confirmed by the donor’s heirs “in concilio Reinholdi comitis...advocato”, witnessed by “Otto, Tedi, cognati ipsius Reinboldi...”[1394].] “...Reinoldo Dassalo...” witnessed the charter dated 1120 under which Erchenbert Abbot of Corvey confirmed donations made by “Twaetibaoyc”[1395].

1. DEDO (-after 1113). A charter dated 1113 records that "Sigiberti" donated certain property to Corvey, confirmed by the donor’s heirs “in concilio Reinholdi comitis...advocato”, witnessed by “Otto, Tedi, cognati ipsius Reinboldi...”[1396]. Schrader suggests that Dedo was the brother-in-law of Reinold [I] (and by extension Reinold [II])[1397], assuming that “cognatus” indicates brrother-in-law. However, other examples in primary sources indicate that the term was used more frequently in Germany to indicate a blood relationship. same person as...? DEDO von Ziegenberg (-after 1109). Schrader suggests that he may have been the same person as “Tedi, cognati”, as the properties named in the various documents quoted in this section were located in the same area[1398]. Graf von Ziegenberg. Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed that “comes Dedo de Zygenberch et uxor eius Helburga” donated “unum mansum in Ghutingen” to Helmarshausen, with the consent of “hæredibus suis...Hermanno...ac Sigebodone”, by charter dated [incorrectly] 1101 but dated to [1109/37][1399]. m HELMBURG, daughter of --- (-after 1109). Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed that “comes Dedo de Zygenberch et uxor eius Helburga” donated “unum mansum in Ghutingen” to Helmarshausen, with the consent of “hæredibus suis...Hermanno...ac Sigebodone”, by charter dated [incorrectly] 1101 but dated to [1109/37][1400]. “Helmburg laudante viro suo Dno Daedi” donated “in villa...Astuston...hobam I...” to Helmarshausen, with the consent of “filiorum suorum Herimanni et Sigibodonis”, undated, witnessed by “Erp comes, Reinold nobilis, Frithuric comes, Conrad comes, Hunold”[1401]. Schrader suggests that Helburg was the sister of Reinold [I] (and by extension Reinold [II])[1402]. However, this is based on cumulating his posited co-identity of Dedo “cognatus” with Dedo von Ziegenberg and his assumption that brother-in-law is the correct translation of “cognatus”, which as noted above is not necessarily the case. Dedo & his wife had two children:

a) HERMANN . “Helmburg laudante viro suo Dno Daedi” donated “in villa...Astuston...hobam I...” to Helmarshausen, with the consent of “filiorum suorum Herimanni et Sigibodonis”, undated[1403].

Two brothers, maybe sons of Reinold [I].

1. LUDOLF [I] von Dassel (-[1167]). Koken indicates that the brothers Ludolf [I] and Reinold were named in 1115, but he does not cite the corresponding primary source[1405]. “...Liudolphus de Dassele...” witnessed the charter dated 1153 under which “Hermannus comes...” donated “villam...Hampenhusen” to the poor[1406].

E. GRAFEN von WINZENBURG

Winzenburg lies about 20 kilometres due south of Hildesheim, in the south of the present day German state of Niedersachsen.

HERMANN von Windberg, son of MEGINHARD IV Vogt von Niederaltaich [Formbach] & his wife Mathilde von Reinhausen (-Vornbach 1122). According to the 14th century Genealogia comitum Neuburgensium sive Formbacensium, "Meginhardus frater senioris Tiemonis genuit Oudalricum, Hermannum provincie comitem et Chunradum"[1558], although it appears incorrect that their father was brother of "senioris Tiemonis". Graf von Windberg 1097. The Codex Traditionum of Formbach monastery records a donation by "domnus Odalricus de Windeperge frater domni Herimanni", and names "Thiemo avus suus"[1559]. The Codex Traditionum of Formbach monastery records a dispute with Suben monastery, and names "due…sorores Touta et Himildrud…nobilissimis" and "filios Meginhardi comitis Odalricum et Hermannum ac filios Tiemonis Ekkebertum et Heinricum et domnam Itam"[1560]. Graf von Windberg 1097. Graf von Ratelberg 1107. Graf von Winzenburg 1109. Markgraf 1112. Markgraf von Sachsen 1114. He founded Kloster Reinhausen 1108. The Annales Reicherspergenses record the death in 1122 of "Hermannus comes provincialis"[1561]. The Auctarium Claustroneoburgense records the death in 1122 of "Hermannus comes provincialis de Saxonia"[1562]. The Annales Stadenses record that "comitis Burchardi de Lucken" killed "lantgravius Hermannus de Wincenburg"[1563].

m firstly ---. The primary source which confirms this first marriage has not been identified.

m secondly HEDWIG, daughter of --- (-Kloster Windberg 1 Dec 1162). The Codex Traditionum of Formbach monastery records a donation by "Comes Chonradus de Ratelinberg…per manum patrui sui comitis Hermanni de Windeperge", which names the latter´s wife "cometissa Haedewic cum filio suo Herimanno"[1564]. Wegener records that Hadewich, widow of Graf Heriman, donated property to Göttweig with her son Heriman by charter dated [1122], witnessed by Adalbert son of Markgraf Luitpold[1565]. The necrology of Windberg records the death "Kal Dec 1162" of "Hadewich coma et fundatrix loci huius"[1566]. The necrology of Oberaltaich records the death "Kal Dec" of "Hadewic com^a"[1567]. It is possible that she was Hedwig of Carniola and Istria, daughter of Poppo II Marchese di Carniola e Istria & his wife Richgard von Sponheim, who married [secondly] ([1123]) as his second wife, Adalbert [II] Graf von Bogen. The Historia Welforum refers to the two daughters of "Poponem marchionem", specifying that they married "unam Bertholfo comiti de Andehse, aliam Alberto comiti de Bogen"[1568]. The De Advocatis Altahensibus names "Hadwigam" as wife of "Aschwinus…comes de Bogen…dicitur Adilpertum comitem", specifying that her husband was "advocatus Altahensis ecclesie"[1569]. The primary source which specifies clearly that the wife of Graf Adalbert was the widow of Graf Hermann has not so far been identified, although the [1122] charter referred to above suggests that this might be correct.

Graf Hermann & his [first] wife had four children:

1. KONRAD von Winzenburg . "Cuonradus comitis Heremanni filius" witnessed the charter dated 1122 under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed an exchange of property with the abbot of Hasungen[1570]. "Palatinus comes Willelmus, Marchio Adelbertus, comes Herimannus et frater eius Cunradus…" witnessed a charter dated 15 Jul 1128 under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed an exchange of property between "heredes comites Rodulfi…marchionis…prefati comitis filius Rodulfus…matre eius religiosa vidua Richarde…et fratre predicti pueri Udone iam milite facto et uxorato…" and the provost of Jechenburg[1571]. It is assumed that the first of these two charters was issued shortly before the death of Konrad's father Hermann, which is recorded in the same year. If this is correct, the absence of Konrad's brother Hermann [II] suggests that Konrad was the older son and at that date considered as his father's heir. However, this hypothesis is cast in doubt by the second charter, in which it is unclear why Konrad's brother Hermann is accorded the comital title while Konrad himself is not. No primary source has been identified which confirms that Konrad was born from his father's supposed first marriage.

2. BEATRIX von Winzenburg (-2 Apr 1160). The Annales Palidenses record the death in 1160 of "domna Sophia marchionissa" and that of "soror eius Beatrix abbatissa Quidlingeburgensis octavo die…subsecuta"[1572]. Abbess of Neuenheerse 1123. Abbess of Quedlinburg 1138/1160.

3. DIETRICH von Winzenburg (-28 Feb 1127). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Canon at Münster Cathedral 1110. Deacon 1118. Bishop of Münster 1118.

4. GOTTFRIED von Winzenburg . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Canon at Münster Cathedral 1110, later scholastikus.

Graf Hermann & his second wife had five children:

"Palatinus comes Willelmus, Marchio Adelbertus, comes Herimannus et frater eius Cunradus…" witnessed a charter dated 15 Jul 1128 under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed an exchange of property between "heredes comites Rodulfi…marchionis…prefati comitis filius Rodulfus…matre eius religiosa vidua Richarde…et fratre predicti pueri Udone iam milite facto et uxorato…" and the provost of Jechenburg[1575]. Pfalzgraf von Sachsen 1129/30, deposed. The Annales Stadenses records that "Hermannus de Wincenburg" was deprived of the "comitatum provincialem in Thuringia" by "Lothario rege" who granted it to "Lodewicum [filium Ludowici]"[1576]. The Annales Sancti Diibodi record that "Hermannus de Winzenburg" killed "Burchardum de Lochenheim" in 1130[1577]. Bruno [II] Archbishop of Köln confirmed the foundation of Kloster Knechtsteden, and the installation of "Gerardum de Hostade" as Vogt, by charter dated 5 Aug 1134 witnessed by "Hermannus comes de Vincellenburch, Gerardus de Hostade, Gerardus de Mulesfurt…"[1578]. von Plesse, Markgraf 1139. "…Comes Hermannus…" witnessed the charter dated 9 Nov 1141 under which Markolf Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the foundation of Kloster St Blasius at Northeim by "Sigefridi comitis"[1579]. In 1144, he bought the largest part of the inheritance of Siegfried [IV] Graf von Boyneburg [Nordheim], whose widow married Hermann's younger brother Heinrich. The transfer was recognised by Konrad III King of Germany who enfeoffed Graf Hermann with the territories, creating a powerful counterbalance in southern Saxony to the weight of Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony [Welf][1580]. Vogt von Corvey 1147. He was murdered by ministeriales on account of his arrogance [1581]. The succession to his estates was disputed between Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony and Albrecht "der Bär" Markgraf von Brandenburg, ignoring the rights of his daughters or the children of his deceased younger brother Heinrich[1582]. The dispute was finally resolved at the diet of Würzburg in Oct 1153 when Friedrich I "Barbarossa" King of Germany awarded the Winzenburg inheritance to Duke Heinrich, while Markgraf Albrecht received the similarly disputed Plötzkau lands[1583]. The Annales Magdeburgenses record that "comes Hermannus de Wincenburh…et coniunx eius Liuchardis" were killed "1152 4 Kal Feb"[1584]. m firstly (1142) ELISABETH of Austria, daughter of LEOPOLD III "der Heilige" Duke of Austria [Babenberg] & his second wife Agnes of Germany [Staufen] (-20 May 1143).

The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. Canoness at Quedlinburg 1188.

6. MECHTILD von Winzenburg (-23 May 1155). The Annales Stadenses refer to the wife of "Udonem [filius Rodulfi]" as sister of "Hermanni qui occisus est Wincenburg" but does not name her[1592]. The Fasti Corbeienses (Continuatio altera) records the death in 1155 of “Beatrix soror Hermanni comitis de Winzeburch, vidua Udonis marchionis et comitis de Frekleue”[1593]. The primary source which confirms her name as Mechtild has not yet been identified. m (1124 after 7 Dec) UDO [V] Graf von Stade, son of RUDOLF [I] Graf von Stade Markgraf der Nordmark & his wife Richgard von Sponheim (-killed in battle 15 Mar 1130).

It is not certain that this donation was made by Graf Siegfried [IV], although his connection with Amelungsborn as founder suggests that it may be so despite no title or other geographical epithet being attached to the donor named in this document. Heinrich Archbishop of Mainz confirmed that “comite Sigfrido de Buomeneburc” had died “sine heredibus” and that “vidua defuncti comitis cum marito nuper sibi contracto Heinrico comite et Herimanno fratre ipsius, de Plesse” had donated property to Northeim and Reinhausen abbeys in his memory, by charter dated 27 Nov 1144[1600].

Graf von Dannenberg. “Bernardus et Adolfus seniores et Henricus et Adolphus iuniores...comites in Dannenberge” donated property to Magdeburg St. Lorenz by charter dated 23 Sep 1265[1628]. The marriage contract between “Adolfus...comes de Dannenberge...filiam nostram” and “Guncellinum comitem Zwerinensem et filium eiusdem comitem Helmoldum” is dated 9 Jun 1266, naming “frater noster comes Bernardus de Dannenberge...et duo filii sui comes Heinricus et comes Adolfus de Dannenberge...” among the guarantors[1629]. m ---. The name of Bernhard’s wife has not been ascertained. Bernhard & his wife had four children:

a) HEINRICH . Graf von Dannenberg. “Bernardus et Adolfus seniores et Henricus et Adolphus iuniores...comites in Dannenberge” donated property to Magdeburg St. Lorenz by charter dated 23 Sep 1265[1630]. The marriage contract between “Adolfus...comes de Dannenberge...filiam nostram” and “Guncellinum comitem Zwerinensem et filium eiusdem comitem Helmoldum” is dated 9 Jun 1266, naming “frater noster comes Bernardus de Dannenberge...et duo filii sui comes Heinricus et comes Adolfus de Dannenberge...” among the guarantors[1631]. “Adolfus...comes in Danneberg” donated property to Kloster Eldena, with the consent of “fratrum meorum Heinrici, Bernardi et Nicolai comitum”, by charter dated 28 Aug 1270[1632].

b) ADOLF . Graf von Dannenberg. “Bernardus et Adolfus seniores et Henricus et Adolphus iuniores...comites in Dannenberge” donated property to Magdeburg St. Lorenz by charter dated 23 Sep 1265[1633]. The marriage contract between “Adolfus...comes de Dannenberge...filiam nostram” and “Guncellinum comitem Zwerinensem et filium eiusdem comitem Helmoldum” is dated 9 Jun 1266, naming “frater noster comes Bernardus de Dannenberge...et duo filii sui comes Heinricus et comes Adolfus de Dannenberge...” among the guarantors[1634]. “Adolfus...comes in Danneberg” donated property to Kloster Eldena, with the consent of “fratrum meorum Heinrici, Bernardi et Nicolai comitum”, by charter dated 28 Aug 1270[1635].

c) BERNHARD . “Adolfus...comes in Danneberg” donated property to Kloster Eldena, with the consent of “fratrum meorum Heinrici, Bernardi et Nicolai comitum”, by charter dated 28 Aug 1270[1636].

d) NIKOLAUS . “Adolfus...comes in Danneberg” donated property to Kloster Eldena, with the consent of “fratrum meorum Heinrici, Bernardi et Nicolai comitum”, by charter dated 28 Aug 1270[1637].

2. ADOLF (-[9 Jun 1266/16 Oct 1273]). Graf von Dannenberg. “Bernardus et Adolfus seniores et Henricus et Adolphus iuniores...comites in Dannenberge” donated property to Magdeburg St. Lorenz by charter dated 23 Sep 1265[1638]. The marriage contract between “Adolfus...comes de Dannenberge...filiam nostram” and “Guncellinum comitem Zwerinensem et filium eiusdem comitem Helmoldum” is dated 9 Jun 1266, naming “frater noster comes Bernardus de Dannenberge...et duo filii sui comes Heinricus et comes Adolfus de Dannenberge...” among the guarantors[1639]. m ---. The name of Adolf’s wife has not been ascertained. Adolf & his wife had five children:

a) HEINRICH . “Hinricus...comes de Dannenberge necnon Volradus, Fredericus et Bernardus fratres, filii comitis Adolf de Dannenberge bone memorie” exchanged property with “Gunzelino comite de Zwerin ac filio ipsius comite Helmoldo” by charter dated 16 Oct 1273[1640].

b) VOLRAD . “Hinricus...comes de Dannenberge necnon Volradus, Fredericus et Bernardus fratres, filii comitis Adolf de Dannenberge bone memorie” exchanged property with “Gunzelino comite de Zwerin ac filio ipsius comite Helmoldo” by charter dated 16 Oct 1273[1641].

c) FRIEDRICH . “Hinricus...comes de Dannenberge necnon Volradus, Fredericus et Bernardus fratres, filii comitis Adolf de Dannenberge bone memorie” exchanged property with “Gunzelino comite de Zwerin ac filio ipsius comite Helmoldo” by charter dated 16 Oct 1273[1642].

d) BERNHARD . “Hinricus...comes de Dannenberge necnon Volradus, Fredericus et Bernardus fratres, filii comitis Adolf de Dannenberge bone memorie” exchanged property with “Gunzelino comite de Zwerin ac filio ipsius comite Helmoldo” by charter dated 16 Oct 1273[1643].

e) --- von Dannenberg (-after 18 Oct [1273]). The marriage contract between “Adolfus...comes de Dannenberge...filiam nostram” and “Guncellinum comitem Zwerinensem et filium eiusdem comitem Helmoldum” is dated 9 Jun 1266, naming “frater noster comes Bernardus de Dannenberge...et duo filii sui comes Heinricus et comes Adolfus de Dannenberge...” among the guarantors[1644]. The difficulty of identifying Helmold’s first wife (the other possibility is Mechtild von Sachsen, see the document MECKLENBURG) is not solved by the following charter which omits her name: a charter dated 18 Oct [1273] records that Kloster Höckelheim accorded fraternity to “comiti Helmoldo in Tzwerin et uxori sue domine--- necnon filio suo comiti Gunzelino”[1645]. The question is further complicated by the charter dated 1297 under which [her son] “Guncellinus...comes Zwerinensis” donated “advocatiam super villa Ielmestorpe” to Kloster Medinge which is witnessed by “Nycholaus domicellus de Danneberghe noster avunculus...”[1646]. “Nycholaus” has not been identified. The only Nikolaus von Dannenberg identified from other primary sources is the first cousin of the children of Adolf Graf von Dannenberg, but the chronology of the family suggests that he would have been too old to have been called “domicellus” in 1297. Betrothed [m] (contract 9 Jun 1266) [as his first wife,] HELMOLD [III] Graf von Schwerin, son of GÜNZEL [III] Graf von Schwerin & his wife Margarete von Mecklenburg (-after 25 Aug 1295).

1. JOHANN von Dannenberg (-after 1254). Graf von Dannenberg. “Johannes comes Dannebergensis”, whose three daughters “Oda, Adelheit et Cunigunda” were “tres primæ abbatissæ”, donated property to “cœnobium Dambeccense” by charter dated 1254[1647]. m ---. The name of Johann’s wife is not known. Johann & his wife had three children:

a) ODA . “Johannes comes Dannebergensis”, whose three daughters “Oda, Adelheit et Cunigunda” were “tres primæ abbatissæ”, donated property to “cœnobium Dambeccense” by charter dated 1254[1648].

b) ADELHEID . “Johannes comes Dannebergensis”, whose three daughters “Oda, Adelheit et Cunigunda” were “tres primæ abbatissæ”, donated property to “cœnobium Dambeccense” by charter dated 1254[1649].

c) KUNIGUNDE . “Johannes comes Dannebergensis”, whose three daughters “Oda, Adelheit et Cunigunda” were “tres primæ abbatissæ”, donated property to “cœnobium Dambeccense” by charter dated 1254[1650].

C. BURGGRAFEN von MAGDEBURG

BURCHARD [II] von Querfurt, son of GERHARD Graf von Querfurt & his wife Oda von Ammensleben (-[after 1159]). The Annalista Saxo names "Conradi Magedaburgensis episcopi et --- Magdaburgensis comitis" as children of Gebhard[1651]. A manuscript history of Querfurt church names “primum Conradum...postea Magdeburch archiepiscopus...secundum...Geuehardum qui postea cum multis aliis baronibus Bohemiæ occisus est, tertium Borchardum...in Magdeborch borggravius” as the three sons of Gebhard “filium suum Geuerhardum”[1652]. The Annalista Saxo names "Burchardus frater Conradi archiepiscopi" when recording his appointment as Burggraf von Magdeburg in 1136[1653]. “Burchardus Magdeburgensis prefectus...Hoierus de Manesfelt...” witnessed the charter dated 13 Jan 1156 under which Ulrich Bishop of Halberstadt confirmed property exchanges involving Kloster Marienzell[1654]. [“Nobiles: Burchardus comes Magdeburgensis civitatis et Burchardus filius eius...” witnessed the charter dated 19 Jun 1155 under which Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg confirmed that “mater mea Machtildis...collardante fratre meo Conrado” had donated property “in occidentali Thietforde iuxta civitatem Halberstadensem”, for the soul of “cognati mei Wicmanni”[1655]. “...Burchardus burgravius et filius eius Burghardus...” witnessed the charter dated 1159 under which Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg granted property to “Heriberto”[1656]. It is not possible to be certain whether these documents relate to Burchard [II] and his son Burchard [III] or to the latter and his son Burchard [IV]. The chronology suggests that the former case is more likely, as in the second case Burchard [IV] would have been little more than an infant at the time.]

m [--- of Thuringia, daughter of LUDWIG "der Salier/der Springer" Graf in Thüringen & his [second] wife Adelheid von Stade]. The name of Burchard´s wife is not known. An indication of her family origin is provided by the charter dated 3 Oct 1166, under which [her possible son, see below for a discussion of the doubts] “Uto...Nuenburgens...episcopus” confirmed that “felicis memoriæ dominus Uto prædecessor et avunculus meus...Nuenburgensis...episcopus” had confirmed privileges of “Buzaviensi cœnobio”[1657]. Assuming that “avunculus” in this document can be interpreted in its strict sense of maternal uncle (recognising that it can indicate a more remote family relationship), the second Bishop Udo’s mother was the sister of the first bishop. The earlier Bishop Udo was the brother of Ludwig I Landgraf of Thuringia. Their father’s marriage is dated to 1087 (see the document THURINGIA). From a chronological point of view, it is therefore possible that the second Udo’s mother was the sister of these two brothers.

Burchard [II] & his wife had [three] children:

1. BURCHARD [III] (-[1177/78]). [“Nobiles: Burchardus comes Magdeburgensis civitatis et Burchardus filius eius...” witnessed the charter dated 19 Jun 1155 under which Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg confirmed that “mater mea Machtildis...collardante fratre meo Conrado” had donated property “in occidentali Thietforde iuxta civitatem Halberstadensem”, for the soul of “cognati mei Wicmanni”[1658]. “...Burchardus burgravius et filius eius Burghardus...” witnessed the charter dated 1159 under which Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg granted property to “Heriberto”[1659]. It is not possible to be certain whether these documents relate to Burchard [II] and his son Burchard [III] or to the latter and his son Burchard [IV].] Burggraf von Magdeburg. “...Burchardus burchgravius Magdeb. et frater eius Geuehardus...” witnessed the charter dated 10 Mar [1155/59] under which Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg confirmed the property of Halle St. Maria[1660]. [“...Borchardus borggravius Magdeburgensis et frater suus Udo junior...” witnessed the charter dated 16 Nov 1180 under which Emperor Friedrich I confirmed Bremen’s rights over “castrum Stadii et burgum”[1661]. If this document relates to Burggraf Burchard [III] it must be misdated, not only because it post-dates his estimated date of death but also because the names of the witnesses indicate that it should be dated before the elevation of Burchard’s brother Udo to the bishopric of Naumburg. Another possibility is that the witness list is garbled, compiled from other earlier documents. A third possibility is that the document relates to Burchard [IV], in which case it represents the only reference to his brother named Udo.] Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg confirmed that “Magdeburgensis comitis Burchardi de Querenvort et filiis eius” donated “villam...Ruach” by charter dated 20 Nov 1161[1662]. Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg confirmed that “...Burchardi Magdeburgensis burchgravii” donated “molendino...in lacu Sale” by charter dated 1170, witnessed by “...Burchardus burchgravius, comes Thederucus de Birka, comes Burchardus de Valkensten et filius eius Theodericus...”[1663]. "...Burggraf Burchard zu Magdeburg..." witnessed the charter dated 7 May 1173 under which Emperor Friedrich I confirmed the foundation of Kloster Pleisner Landstrich[1664]. m MECHTILD von Gleichen, daughter of LAMBERT [I] Graf von Gleichen zu Tonna & his wife Mechtild --- (-[1200]). Her existence is confirmed by the charter dated 1151 under which Heinrich [I] Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the donation of property by "comes Lambertus senior quondam privignam suam…Adelhedim", which also refers to "filio suo Lamberto et…duabus filiabus suis"[1665]. A manuscript history of Querfurt church records that “Borchardum...in Magdeborch borggravius...filium suum...B.” married “filiam Lamperti comitis de Thuringia sibi coniugem Machildem...de cognatione Gerhardi comitis Arhe”, naming her “Mechtildem” in a later passage[1666]. Burchard [III] & his wife had seven children:

[“Nobiles: Burchardus comes Magdeburgensis civitatis et Burchardus filius eius...” witnessed the charter dated 19 Jun 1155 under which Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg confirmed that “mater mea Machtildis...collardante fratre meo Conrado” had donated property “in occidentali Thietforde iuxta civitatem Halberstadensem”, for the soul of “cognati mei Wicmanni”[1667]. “...Burchardus burgravius et filius eius Burghardus...” witnessed the charter dated 1159 under which Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg granted property to “Heriberto”[1668]. It is not possible to be certain whether these documents relate to Burchard [II] and his son Burchard [III] or to the latter and his son Burchard [IV] . The chronology suggests that the former case is more likely, as in the second case Burchard [IV] would have been little more than an infant at the time.] Burggraf von Magdeburg. “...Burchardo burggravio Magdeburgensi...” witnessed the charter dated 1179 under which Odelrich Bishop of Halberstadt confirmed exchanges of property involving Kloster Kaldenborn[1669]. “...Burchardus burchgravius Magdeb. et frater eius Geuehardus...” witnessed the charter dated 1182 under which Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg confirmed the property of Halle St. Maria[1670]. “...Conradus imperialis aulæ capellanus frater burcgravii Magedeburgensis, Burchardus burcgravius Magedeburgensis...” witnessed the charter dated 1 Sep 1188 under which Emperor Friedrich I granted protection to Kloster Walkenried[1671]. A manuscript history of Querfurt church records that “Borchardum castellanum in Magdeborch” went to Jerusalem with Emperor Friedrich I and died “Antiochiæ” where he was buried[1672]. m SOPHIE von Wettin, daughter of HEINRICH [I] Graf von Wettin & his wife Sophie --- (-[1189/95]). The Genealogica Wettinensis names "Heinricum comitem…et Conradum…et Ulricum comitem et Sophiam" as children of "Heinricus comes de Witin" & his wife, specifying that Sophie married "Burchardo Magdeburgensi burggravio"[1673]. Burchard [III] & his wife had one child:

i) BURCHARD [V] ([1185/89]-[1246/2 Apr 1247]). Burggraf von Magdeburg. “Laici: Gevehardus de Querenvorde, Burchardus Magdeburgensis burcgravius...” witnessed the charter dated 21 Aug 1213 under which Albrecht Archbishop of Magdeburg granted “prefecture civitatis nostre, quod schulthedum wlgariter appellabatur” to “Teoderico de Parchem”[1674]. “Nos fratres Burchardus et Geuehardus in Querenforde”, with the consent of “cognati nostri Burchardi in Magdeburck burcrafii, qui nostram in omnibus propter annos pueriles gerit vicem”, donated woods “iuxta villam Horenberch...Bichenberch” to the hospital “in Hallo in ponte”, for the soul of “patris nostre pie memorie Geuehardi”, by charter dated 12 May 1217[1675]. “Burkardus Magdeburgensis curiæ burggravius et Sophia burggravia” confirmed that “comes Fridericus de Wildunghen et domina Lucardis uxor eiusdem et Ludewicus comes” had donated “bona in Hertoldeshausen in villa Safenhusen” to Kloster Aulesburg by undated charter[1676]. “Burchardus...burggravius de Magdeburg” donated property “in villa Herchensale” to Kloster Kaldenborn by charter dated 1246[1677]. He is named as deceased in his wife’s 2 Apr 1247 charter quoted below. m SOPHIE von Thüringen, daughter of FRIEDRICH von Thüringen Graf von Ziegenhain & his wife Liutgard von Ziegenhain (-after 22 May 1251). “Burkardus Magdeburgensis curiæ burggravius et Sophia burggravia” confirmed that “comes Fridericus de Wildunghen et domina Lucardis uxor eiusdem et Ludewicus comes” had donated “bona in Hertoldeshausen in villa Safenhusen” to Kloster Aulesburg by undated charter[1678].

- QUERFURT-MAGDEBURG-HARDEGG[1687].

b) KONRAD [I] (-murdered 2 Dec 1202).

Canon at Magdeburg: "[Magdeburgensis] ecclesie canonici...Conradus frater burgravii...laici: Burchardus Magdeburgensis burgravius..." witnessed the charter dated 17 May 1185 under which Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg donated property at Westerhausen to Kloster Hagenrode[1689]. “...Conradus imperialis aulæ capellanus frater burcgravii Magedeburgensis, Burchardus burcgravius Magedeburgensis...” witnessed the charter dated 1 Sep 1188 under which Emperor Friedrich I granted protection to Kloster Walkenried[1690]. Bishop of Hildesheim 1194. Bishop of Würzburg 1201.

c) GEBHARD [IV] (-after 21 Aug 1213). A manuscript history of Querfurt church names “Conradum Hildenshem episcopum et Imperialis Aulæ Cancellarium, Wilhelmum Goslariæ præpositum, Gevehardum borggravium et Gerhardum” as the brothers of “Borchardum castellanum in Magdeborch” who died in Antioch, adding that “Conradus et Geuehardus et Gerhardus” went to Jerusalem during the reign of Emperor Heinrich VI[1691]. “...Burchardus burchgravius Magdeb. et frater eius Geuehardus...” witnessed the charter dated 1182 under which Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg confirmed the property of Halle St. Maria[1692]. Burggraf von Magdeburg. “...Gevehardus burcgravius Magdeburgensis, Gerhardus frater suus...” witnessed the charter dated 31 Jan 1199 under which Philipp King of Germany confirmed a donation to Walkenried[1693]. “...Gebehardus burgravius de Magdeburc...” witnessed the charter dated 23 May 1205 under which Philipp King of Germany confirmed an exchange between Hersfeld and Hermann Landgraf of Thuringia[1694]. “Laici: Gevehardus de Querenvorde, Burchardus Magdeburgensis burcgravius...” witnessed the charter dated 21 Aug 1213 under which Albrecht Archbishop of Magdeburg granted “prefecture civitatis nostre, quod schulthedum wlgariter appellabatur” to “Teoderico de Parchem”[1695]. m ([1200]) LUITGARD, daughter of --- (-after 1220).

The Magdeburger Schöppenchronik records that the daughter of “Gunter van Keverberch” and his wife “Agneten des greven dochter van Sarabrucke” married “Gevehart van Quernvorde”[1697]. If that is rentagecorrect, she was [Luitgard] von Schwarzburg, daughter of Günther [III] Graf von Schwarzburg & his first wife Agnes von Saarbrücken. However, the accuracy of this information cannot be judged. If it is correct, it is unclear whether she was the same wife who was named Luitgard in the document dated 1220. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, “Luitgard von Käfernburg” was Gebhard’s first wife[1698]. According to the same source, he married secondly “Lukarde von Nassau”, who married secondly Hermann [III] Graf von Virneburg. This suggestion is contradicted by a charter dated 27 Feb 1204 (so during Gebhard’s lifetime) which names Lukarde as Hermann’s wife (assuming that the document is correctly dated). Gebhard [IV] & his wife had four children:

i) BURCHARD (-[1254/55]). “Nos fratres Burchardus et Geuehardus in Querenforde”, with the consent of “cognati nostri Burchardi in Magdeburck burcrafii, qui nostram in omnibus propter annos pueriles gerit vicem”, donated woods “iuxta villam Horenberch...Bichenberch” to the hospital of the Teutonic Knights “in Hallo in ponte”, for the soul of “patris nostre pie memorie Geuehardi”, by charter dated 12 May 1217[1699].

A manuscript history of Querfurt church names “Addalheydem”, who married “Adolfo comiti de Schauwenborch”, as the sister of “Borchardum castellanum in Magdeborch” who died in Antioch[1710]. Arnold's Chronica Slavorum names "domna Adelheidis, filia domni Burchardi de Querenvorde" as wife of "comitis de Schowenburg" when recording that she and her mother-in-law, together with "Adolphus de Dasle", received Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony in Lübeck on his return from England[1711]. "Adolphus…comes Wagriæ, Holsatiæ atque Stormariæ" donated property to Kloster Reinfeld, in the presence of "Adelheide…nostri consortem", by charter dated 1189[1712]. A charter dated 1200 confirms a donation by "Comes Adolfus de Scowenburc et uxor eius cometissa Athelheidis et utriusque filia Meithildis" to "Scildecensis ecclesie"[1713]. "Adolfus comes de Schowenburg et filius meus eiusdem nominis" acknowledged return of property from "domina Gisla de Antenthorpe mansum unum in Magethevelde" and its donation to "cenobio…Lacus sancte Marie", for "pie memorie uxoris nostre domine Alheidis comitisse", by charter dated to [1215/24][1714]. "Adolfus…Holtsatie Stormarie et Wagrie comes" founded Kloster Preetz, for the souls of "coniugis Heilwigis patris…nostri comitis Adolfi ac matris nostre Adelheidis", by charter dated 29 Sep 1226[1715].

2. [GEBHARD (-after 10 Mar [1155/59]). “...Burchardus burchgravius Magdeb. et frater eius Geuehardus...” witnessed the charter dated 10 Mar [1155/59] under which Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg confirmed the property of Halle St. Maria[1718]. The existence of this person is dependent on whether this document is correctly dated.]

3. [UDO (-[1186]). [His possible parentage appears based only on the following dubious documentary evidence: “...Borchardus borggravius Magdeburgensis et frater suus Udo junior...” witnessed the charter dated 16 Nov 1180 under which Emperor Friedrich I confirmed Bremen’s rights over “castrum Stadii et burgum”[1719]. If this document relates to Burggraf Burchard [III] it must be misdated, not only because it post-dates his estimated date of death but also because the names of the witnesses indicate that it should be dated before the elevation of Burchard’s brother Udo to the bishopric of Naumburg. Another possibility is that the witness list is garbled, compiled from other earlier documents. A third possibility is that the document relates to Burchard [IV], in which case it represents the only reference to his brother named Udo.] Bishop of Naumburg 1165. “Uto...Nuenurgens...episcopus” confirmed that “felicis memoriæ dominus Uto prædecessor et avunculus meus...Nuenburgensis...episcopus” had confirmed privileges of “Buzaviensi cœnobio” by charter dated 3 Oct 1166[1720].]

ADALBERT [Sevecco] von Sommerschenburg, son of --- .

m OUDA [Hilaria] von Goseck, daughter of FRIEDRICH [I] von Goseck Pfalzgraf in Sachsen & his wife Agnes von Weimar (-near Zorbau 1088, bur Goseck). The Chronicon Gozecense names "Oudam" daughter of "comes Fridericus [et] Agnam…de Wimare"[1721]. The same source records the death "apud curtim suam Zurbowo" of "soror domini palatine Ouda" about the same time as the death of her brother and her burial in Goseck monastery, specifying that her real name was "Hilaria, sed quia lingua Teuthonica…nomen mutavit Ouda"[1722]. The Genealogica Wettinensis names "Adelbertum archiepiscopum, Dedonem et Fridericum palatinos comites, et filiam nomine Odam quam Adelbertus quidam nobilis cognominatus Seveke de Sumerschenburc accepit uxorem" as children of "Friderico comiti" & his wife Agnes[1723], although as noted elsewhere it incorrectly identifies the origin of Agnes.

Adalbert & his wife had one child:

1. FRIEDRICH [I] von Sommerschenburg (-[18 Oct 1120/1121]). He is named son of "Adalbertus Scucco" & his wife, sister of Pfalzgraf Friedrich, in the Annalista Saxo, which specifies that Friedrich succeeded his maternal uncle as Pfalzgraf[1724]. Pfalzgraf in Sachsen 1097. The Chronicon Gozecense names "comes Fridericus palatini de Sumersenburch" as son of "Ouda"[1725]. The Genealogica Wettinensis names "Fridericum comitem palatinum" as son of "Adelbertus quidam nobilis cognominatus Seveke de Sumerschenburc" & his wife Oda[1726]. The documents dated Feb 1111 relating to the coronation of Heinrich V King of Germany as emperor name "Fridericum filium sororis suæ, marchionem Engilbertum, marchionem Thiebaldus, comitem Hermannum, Fridericum palatinum comitem de Saxonia, Berlingarium de Bavaria, Godefridum comitem, Fridericum Saxonum, Albertum cancellarium, Cononem fratri Berengarii, Sigebot de Bavaria, Henricum ducem Carinthie, Bertoldum filium ducis Bertoldi" as the emperor's guarantors[1727]. "Fridericum palatinum comitem de Saxonia" signed fifth in the list of lay witnesses who swore for Heinrich V King of Germany at the time of his coronation as emperor in 1111[1728]. Vogt of Kloster Schöningen 1120. m (after 1106) as her second husband, ADELHEID von Laufen, widow of ADOLF [I] von Hövel [Huwili] Graf von Berg, daughter of HEINRICH Graf von Laufen & his wife Ida von Werl. The Annalista Saxo records that “Bernardus comes...[filiam] Idam” and "Heinricus de castro...Loufe...filiam...Adelheidam" married “Adulfus de Huvili”, and after he died, “comes palatinus Fridericus de Sumersenburch”, and names her children by each marriage[1729]. Pfalzgraf Friedrich [I] & his wife had two children:

a) FRIEDRICH [II] von Sommerschenburg (-19 May 1162, bur Marienthal). The Annalista Saxo names "palatinum comitem Fridericum iuniorem" and his parents[1730]. Pfalzgraf von Sachsen 1121. Pfalzgraf von Sommerschenburg 1123/1124. Vogt von Walbeck: Rudolf Bishop of Halberstadt confirmed an exchange between Hillersleben and Walbeck by charter dated 11 Apr 1145, which names "Fredericus comes palatinus, eiusdem ecclesie advocatus, et filius eius Albertus" among the representatives of Walbeck[1731]. Vogt of Quedlinburg 1150. He founded Kloster Marienthal. The Annales Magdeburgenses record the death in 1162 of "Fridericus palatinus"[1732]. m (divorced before 1144) as her first husband, LIUTGARD von Stade, daughter of RUDOLF I von Stade Markgraf der Nordmark & his wife Richgard von Sponheim (-murdered Winzenburg 30 Jan 1152). The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Rodolfum, Udonem et Hartwigum Bremensem archiepiscopum, et filiam nomine Liuccardem" children of "Rodolfus comes frater Udonis marchionis" & his wife Richardis, specifying that Liutgard married "Friedericus iunior de Sumersenburh palatinus comes"[1733]. She married secondly (1144, divorced) Erik III "Lam" King of Denmark, and thirdly (1148) as his second wife, Hermann II Graf von Winzenburg Pfalzgraf von Sachsen. The Annales Stadenses names "Lutgardim [filiam Rodolfi]" as firstly wife of "Friderici palatine de Somersgenburg", secondly of "Erico…Lam regi Danorum" and thirdly of "Hermanno de Winceburg"[1734]. She was murdered with her third husband. Pfalzgraf Friedrich [II] & his wife had two children:

i) ADALBERT von Sommerschenburg (-[15 Jan/17 Mar] 1179). The Annalista Saxo names "Adalbertum" son of "Friedericus iunior de Sumersenburh palatinus comes" & his wife Liutgard[1735]. Rudolf Bishop of Halberstadt confirmed an exchange between Hillersleben and Walbeck by charter dated 11 Apr 1145, which names "Fredericus comes palatinus, eiusdem ecclesie advocatus, et filius eius Albertus" among the representatives of Walbeck[1736]. Pfalzgraf von Sommerschenburg 1158. Vogt at Quedlinburg, Marienthal and Huysburg. Opposed to the expansionist policies of Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony, Adalbert allied himself with Albrecth "der Bär" Markgraf von Brandenburg. He was, however, forced to submit to the duke and transfer to him the fortress of Lauenburg, south-west of Quedlinburg[1737]. He adhered to the alliance of Magdeburg, which formalised the opposition to Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony, at Santersleben, south of Haldensleben, 14 Jul 1167[1738]. The Annales Palidenses record the death in 1179 of "Adalbertus palatinus comes"[1739]. m (Meiningen 1154) LIUTGARD von Henneberg, daughter of BERTHOLD [I] Graf von Henneberg & his wife Bertha --- (-22 Nov 1220, bur Klosterkirche Trostadt). The Annales Stadenses refers to the wife of "Albertum palatinum [filium Friderici palatine de Somersgenburg]" as "filiam Popponis de Hinnenberch" but does not name her[1740]. “Bobpo comes de Hennenberc...genetrix nostra Berhda comitissa...et germane nostre...Irmingardis palatina Rheni et Lwggardis palatina de Saxonia” donated property “in Hindirnahe” to Kloster Vessra, to take effect after the death of their mother, by undated charter[1741]. After her husband's death, she was harassed by Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony and sold her husband's inheritance in the eastern foreland of the Harz mountains to the archbishopric of Magdeburg[1742]. “Domina Liuggardis palatina de Sumirschinburg” bequeathed property to “cognato meo Bopboni comiti...de Hennenberg” by charter dated 1220[1743]. “Bertholdus comes in Hennenberc” confirmed that “felicis memorie amita nostra Lwcgardis palatina” had donated property to Kloster Vessra by undated charter[1744].

Abbess of Gandersheim. Abbess of Quedlinburg before 2 Jul 1161. The Annales Pegavienses record the death "1184 Kal Mai" of "domna Adelheidis abbatissa in Gandersheim et Quidelingeburg"[1746].

b) ADELHEID von Sommerschenburg (-before 1180). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. Alexander Bishop of Liège confirmed the donation made by "domnus Gozwinus secundus Henesbergensis et uxor eius Aleidis" to the church at their castle, with the consent of "filiis eius Philippo…archiepiscopo, Gozwino, Godefrido", by charter dated 13 Mar 1165 (but redated to [1167/68])[1747]. m GOSWIN [III] Herr von Heinsberg Heer van Valkenburg, son of GERHARD Herr von Heinsberg, Heer van Valkenburg & his wife Oda von Walbeck (-18 Apr [1167/68]).

E. GRAFEN von WALBECK

Walbeck lies about 10 kilometres north-east of Süpplingenburg in the north of the present day German state of Sachsen-Anhalt.

LOTHAR [I] von Walbeck, son of --- (-killed in battle near Lenzen an der Elbe 5 Sep 929). Thietmar records the death of two of his great grandfathers "both named Liuthar" at the battle of Lenzen 5 Sep[1748].

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

Graf Lothar [I] & his wife had one child:

1. LOTHAR [II] von Walbeck (-986). Thietmar names his grandfather "Liuthar", recording that he participated in the plot to assassinate Emperor Otto I for which he exiled to Bavaria "to be held in captivity by Count Berthold" where he remained for a year[1749]. Graf von Walbeck. m MATHILDE von Arneburg, daughter of BRUNO Graf von Arneburg [Querfurt] & his wife Frederuna --- (-3 Dec 992). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. Thietmar records the death of his paternal grandmother Mathilde on 3 Dec in the same year in which her son Siegfried died[1750]. Graf Lothar [II] & his wife had four children:

a) LOTHAR [III] von Walbeck (-25 Jan 1003, bur Köln Cathedral). Thietmar names his paternal uncle Liuthar, recording that he attempted to deprive his mother of all her possessions after the death of his brother Siegfried[1751]. Graf im Derlingau und im Nordthüringgau 982. He succeeded in 982 as LOTHAR I Markgraf der Nordmark. The Annalista Saxo records that he was installed as Markgraf after "Teoderici ducis et marchionis" was deprived of the dignity following the destruction by the Slavs of the churches "Branneburch et Havelbergan" and their relapse into paganism[1752]. Thietmar records the death on 25 Jan, in the first year of the reign of King Heinrich II (1003), of "Markgraf Liuthar" and his burial at Köln[1753]. m as her first husband, GODILA, daughter of WERNER [Graf von Rothenburg] & his wife --- (-1015). Thietmar names a "nobly born woman from the West…Godila" as wife of Lothar, naming her father Werner and specifying that her cousin was Wicfrid Bishop of Verdun[1754]. Thietmar records that Godila remained unmarried for four years after her husband died then married secondly "her relative Hermann"[1755]. She married secondly (1007) Hermann [II] Graf von Werl. Godila's second husband has been identified as Hermann [II] Graf von Werl[1756]. If this is correct she must have been his second wife as Thietmar records that "she was denied any hope of future offspring" as she was excommunicated for the marriage, her husband being "her relative"[1757]. Graf Lothar [III] & his wife had [four] children:

i) WERNER von Walbeck (-murdered Allerstedt 11 Nov 1014, bur Walbeck Monastery). Thietmar records the birth of Werner as first son of Lothar and his wife, born when his mother was "in her thirteenth year"[1758]. The Annalista Saxo names "marchio Werinharius" as son of Lothar[1759]. He succeeded in 1003 as WERNER Markgraf der Nordmark, until 1009. After accusations brought against him at Merseburg by Graf Dedo [Wettin], Werner was deprived of his titles[1760]. Thietmar records Werner abduction of Reinhild "mistress of Beichlingen" in Nov 1014, his capture and planned trial, his death "on the feast of St Martin having patiently endured whatever misfortunes had hitherto come his way", and his burial[1761]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "11 Nov" of "Wirinher com"[1762]. m (Jan 1003) LIUTGARD von Meissen, daughter of EKKEHARD I Markgraf von Meissen & his wife Schwanehild [Billung] (-13 Nov [1012], bur Walbeck Monastery). Thietmar names Liutgard as first born child of Ekkehard and his wife Swanhild[1763]. "Liutgardem" is also named in the Annalista Saxo, which records her parentage[1764]. Thietmar describes Liutgard as "on the one side…my niece and on the other my cousin's wife" when recording her death[1765], although she was rather remotely related to Thietmar to be described as his niece. Thietmar records the betrothal of Werner & Liutgard daughter of Ekkehard after Werner abducted her from the fortress of Quedlinburg, and in a later passage their eventual marriage in Jan of the first year of the reign of King Heinrich II (1003)[1766]. Thietmar records her death on 13 Nov, in a passage dated to 1012, and her burial at Walbeck monastery[1767].

ii) LOTHAR [IV] von Walbeck (-killed in battle 1033). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. He succeeded as LOTHAR II Markgraf der Nordmark, Graf von Walbeck. m ---. The name of Lothar's wife is not known. Graf Lothar [IV] & his wife had one child:

(a) SIEGFRIED von Walbeck (-after 1087). Graf von Derlingau und im Nordthüringgau. 1068/1087. "Herimannus…rex" donated property "duabus villis…in pago Norththuringau in comitatu Sigefridi comitis" to the church of Halberstadt by charter dated 13 Apr 1083[1768]. m ---. The name of Siegfried's wife is not known. Graf Siegfried & his wife had [one] child:

(1) [ODA von Walbeck (-1152). The Annalista Saxo names Oda as daughter of "prenominati Sigefridi de Waldbiki" (who, from the context of the passage, appears to be Siegfried [I] "der Ältere", see below, which must be incorrect), and names her husband Goswin[1769]. A further indication that Oda's father must be a different Siegfried is that the chronicler Thietmar, son of Siegfried "der Ältere", does not name Oda as his sister, although he names all his other siblings. Oda founded Kloster Heinsberg in [1145]. It does not appear chronologically possible for Oda to have been the wife of Goswin [I] Heer van Heinsberg. It is more likely that she was the wife of his son Gerhard. m GOSWIN [II] Herr von Heinsberg Heer van Valkenburg, son of GOSWIN [I] Herr von Heinsberg & his wife --- (-1 Apr 1128).]

iii) BERTHOLD von Walbeck (-1018 or after). Thietmar names "Berthold, Liuthar's son", when recording that he invaded Burg Monreberg and killed Balderic in 1017, but in a later passage that he surrendered to the emperor voluntarily[1770]. [m IRMGARD von Aspel, daughter of GODIZO Graf von Aspel und Heimbach & his wife --- de Verdun [Wigeriche]. The primary source which confirms Irmgard's origin has not yet been identified. However, the Vita Meinwerci records a donation (undated, but with other donations dated [1022]) of "comes…Godizo" with the consent of "coniugis suæ Addilæ ac sororis suæ heredis iustissimæ", witnessed by "Liudolfi, Udonis, Hiddonis, Acca comitum"[1771], which suggests that any children of Godizo predeceased their father. The same source records that Godizo's sister was his heiress, meaning that Berthold could not have had any surviving children by his marriage to Irmgard.]

iv) [DIETRICH . Thietmar names "my cousin Dietrich", recording that he was a canon at Magdeburg in [1008/09][1772].]

b) EILIKA [Eiliswintha or Eila] von Walbeck (-19 Aug 1015, bur Schweinfurt Kloster). The Annalista Saxo records that "Eila" daughter of "Lotharius comes senior de Walbike" married "Bertoldus comes", their son being named Heinrich[1773]. She built the Münster at Schweinfurt. During her son's rebellion in 1003, she secured favourable treatment during the siege of her castle by threatening to take refuge inside the church and let herself be burned alive there[1774]. The death of "Eila filia Lotarii de Waldbike, mater Heinrici marchionis" is recorded in the Annalista Saxo on "XIV Kal Sep", which specifies that she was buried in Kloster Schweinfurt which she had founded[1775]. Thietmar records the death of "Countess Eila" on 19 Aug and her burial in the monastery which she had constructed[1776]. m ([970]) BERTHOLD Markgraf, Graf des Ostlichen Franken [Schweinfurt], son of --- (-15 Jan 980).

c) SIEGFRIED [I] "der Ältere" von Walbeck (-Walbeck 15 Mar 992). Thietmar names his father Siegfried, recording that "then a young man and unmarried" he supported Markgraf Hodo against Miezsko of Poland at the battle of Zehden[1777]. Graf von Walbeck. "Otto…imperator augustus" gave judgment in a dispute between Werner Abbot of Fulda and Gozbert Abbot of Hersfeld, concerning ship travel along the Hörsel, by charter dated 30 Dec 979, which names "comites nostros Sigebertum, Sigefridum et Brunonem"[1778], Siegfried presumably being Graf Siegfried [I]. Thietmar records his father's death on 15 Mar, in the same year that his mother died, at the fortress of Walbeck[1779]. m (end 972) KUNIGUNDE von Stade, daughter of HEINRICH "der Kahle" Graf von Stade & his first wife Judith von der Wetterau [Konradiner] ([956]-Burg Germersleben 13 Jul 997, bur Germersleben). Thietmar records that his father Siegfried "was mourned by his wife Cunegunde", stating that her brother-in-law Liuthar attempted to deprive her of all her possessions after the death of her husband, although all was restored to her with the emperor's help[1780]. Her marriage can be dated approximately from Thietmar describing her husband as unmarried at the time of the battle of Zehden[1781], which is dated to 24 Jun 972. The Annalista Saxo records the death in "Germersleve" on "III Id Iul 998" of "Cunigund comitissa uxor Sigefridi de Waldbike", specifies that she was sister of "Heinrici, Sigefridi et Udonis" and names her five sons (in order) "Thietmarum, Sigefridum, Brunonem, Heinricum, Fridericum"[1782]. In another passage, the Annalista Saxo records "Iudhithe comitisse filie Heinrici Calvi de Stadhen" as wife of "Sigefridi comitis de Waldbike"[1783]. Thietmar records the death of his mother at Burg Germersleben on 13 Jul[1784]. Graf Siegfried [I] & his wife had five children:

i) HEINRICH von Walbeck (973-killed in battle 1002 or after Sep 1004). The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Thietmarum, Sigefridum, Brunonem, Heinricum, Fridericum" as the five sons of "Cunigund comitissa uxor Sigefridi de Waldbike", specifying that Heinrich inherited his father's county suggesting that he was the oldest despite the order in which the brothers are named (which gives the three clerical brothers before the two lay ones)[1785]. Thietmar records that "Count Heinrich my brother" was involved in the battle in the "lands of the Milzeni", which from the apparently chronology of the text took place after the installation of Jaromir as Duke of the Bohemians (Sep 1004), and returned the body of "Hemuzo" (whose vassal he was) to the deceased's homeland[1786].

ii) FRIEDRICH von Walbeck (974-after 1012). The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Thietmarum, Sigefridum, Brunonem, Heinricum, Fridericum" as the five sons of "Cunigund comitissa uxor Sigefridi de Waldbike", specifying that Friedrich administered Magdeburg as prefect[1787]. Graf von Walbeck, Burggraf von Magdeburg. m as her first husband, THIETBURGA, daughter of ---. The Annalista Saxo names "Thietberga comitissa" wife of "Friderici Magedaburgensis comitis", specifying that she married secondly "quidam nobilis de proceribus Hessorum, genuitque ille Meinfridum, qui predicto fratri suo Conrado, quia filium non habuit, in comitatu successit"[1788]. She married secondly ---. Friedrich & his wife had [two] children:

(a) KONRAD von Walbeck . The Annalista Saxo names "Conradum Magedaburgensem comitem" and gives his parentage[1789]. Graf von Walbeck, Burggraf von Magdeburg. m ADELHEID, daughter of ---, from Bavaria. The Annalista Saxo names Adelheid wife of Konrad, specifying that she was "de Bawaria"[1790]. Graf Konrad & his wife had one child:

(1) MATHILDE von Walbeck . The Annalista Saxo names her and gives her parentage, as well as her marriage to "Teodericus comes de Ploceke"[1791]. m DIETRICH Graf von Plötzkau, son of BERNHARD I von Kakelingen Graf im Harzgau & his wife Irmingard --- (-3 Aug ----, bur Kakelingen).

(b) [BRIGIDA . Thietmar names his niece Brigida "who exercised pastoral care over the monastery of St Lawrence"[1792]. There is no proof of her parentage, but Friedrich is the only brother of Thietmar who is recorded as having married and had children. Another possibility is that she was a descendant of Lothar [III], Thietmar's paternal uncle, assuming that the relationship was more remote than implied by the strict meaning of the term niece.]

iii) THIETMAR von Walbeck (25 Jul 975-1 Dec1018). The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Thietmarum, Sigefridum, Brunonem, Heinricum, Fridericum" as the five sons of "Cunigund comitissa uxor Sigefridi de Waldbike", specifying that Thietmar, Siegfried and Bruno were bishops and in a later passage that Thietmar was Bishop of Merseburg[1793]. The historian and chronicler. Thietmar recalls in his own Chronicon that he was first brought up by his maternal aunt Emnilde at Quedlinburg, transferred to Abbot Rikdag second abbot of St Johann at Magdeburg, and 1 Nov 990 "accepted into the community of St Maurice", in a later passage writing that he was the third son of his parents[1794]. Provost of Walbeck 1002. Bishop of Merseburg 1009.

iv) SIEGFRIED von Walbeck (-27 Nov 1032[1795]). The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Thietmarum, Sigefridum, Brunonem, Heinricum, Fridericum" as the five sons of "Cunigund comitissa uxor Sigefridi de Waldbike", specifying that Thietmar, Siegfried and Bruno were bishops, and in a later passage that Siegfried was Bishop of Münster[1796]. Abbot of Berge, near Magdeburg 1009. Bishop of Münster 1022.

v) BRUNO von Walbeck (-21 Aug 1049). The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Thietmarum, Sigefridum, Brunonem, Heinricum, Fridericum" as the five sons of "Cunigund comitissa uxor Sigefridi de Waldbike", specifying that Thietmar, Siegfried and Bruno were bishops, and in a later passage that Bruno was Bishop of Verden[1797]. Abbot of Nienburg. Abbot at Magdeburg 1025. Bishop of Verden 1034.

Graf Siegfried [I] had one illegitimate child by an unknown mistress:

vi) WILLIGIS . Thietmar names "Willigis who was my brother from my father", recording that he installed him as Provost of Walbeck after his own appointment as bishop in 1009[1798].

d) DIETMAR von Walbeck . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Abbot of Corvey 983-1001.

Chapter 8. STADE

A. GRAFEN von STADE (family of LOTHAR)

Stade had developed since the 8th century as a principal centre of trade and communications[1799]. The Grafen von Stade created their domain between the lower Elbe and Weser rivers. They extended their power northwards with the acquisition of Dithmarschen in the mid-11th century[1800]. They became Markgrafen of the Nordmark in 1056. The Annales Stadenses recount a major dispute in the early 12th century, concerning the inheritance of the county of Stade, between the heir of Ida von Elstorp [Brunswick], her grandson Egilmar II Graf von Oldenburg, and the incumbent Grafen von Stade[1801]. It is assumed that Graf Egilmar prevailed in the dispute, at least temporarily, although this is not explicitly stated in the narrative, as the Annales record that he granted administration of the county to his representative Friedrich, presumably while the Graf von Stade concentrated his attention on responsibilities to the east in his capacity as Markgraf der Nordmark. The family of this Friedrich is set out in Part B below. This transfer of power, if it occurred at all, was presumably short-lived as descendants of Graf Lothar-Udo III are recorded as Grafen von Stade until 1144/45. No further mention is made of Friedrich, apart from the record of the death of "Fridericus comes Stadensis" in the Annales Stadenses in 1135, presumably the same person. Some corroboration of a transfer of power in Stade is found in the Annalista Saxo which records that Heinrich Graf von Stade, after his death in 1087, gave "comitatum suum Stadhe" to "Friderico, quem habuit quadraginta annis" while his brother Lothar-Udo succeeded as Markgraf[1802]. This is chronologically inconsistent with the involvement of Egilmar II Graf von Oldenburg, who only succeeded his father as Graf in or after 1108. Other sources which record the history of the family of the Grafen von Stade make no mention of the episode. After the death of Rudolf II Graf von Stade in 1144, his brother and successor Hartwig transferred his inheritance to the archbishopric of Bremen in return for a regrant of a life interest, presumably to obtain a powerful protector against the aggression of Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony. The move was ineffective, as Duke Heinrich challenged the grant, took possession of the lands and captured both Hartwig and the archbishop, releasing them only after they agreed to recognise his claim. The absence of references in the sources to any claim by successors of Friedrich at this time also suggests that the rise to power of his family had been ephemeral. Duke Heinrich enclosed Stade in a ring of fortifications and conferred civic rights on the town in the [1160s]. These were confirmed in 1209 by his son Otto IV King of Germany[1803].

LOTHAR [I] von Stade, son of --- (-killed in battle near Ebstorf 2 Feb 880). Graf von Stade. The Gesta Francorum lists "Liutharium" as one of the twelve counts who were killed fighting the Danes in 880[1804].

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

Graf Lothar [I] & his wife had [one] child:

1. [LOTHAR [II] von Stade (-killed in battle near Lenzen an der Elbe 5 Sep 929). No proof has been found that Lothar [II] was the son of Lothar [I] but this looks likely.

HEINRICH [I] "der Kahle" von Stade, son of LOTHAR [II] Graf on Stade & his wife Swanehild --- (-11 May 976, bur Kloster Heeringen). The paternity of Heinrich is determined from Thietmar recording the death of two of his great grandfathers "both named Liuthar" at the battle of Lenzen 5 Sep[1808]. The Annalista Saxo refers to "Heinricus Calvus comes de Stathen" as "consanguineus" of Emperor Otto I[1809], but the precise relationship between the two has not been identified. Graf von Stade. Graf im Heilangau 959: "Otto…rex" granted property "in pago…Helinge et Moside in locis…Buochstadon et Rinchurst in comitatu et legatione Heinrici comitis" to Magdeburg St Moritz by charter dated 2 Jul 959[1810]. He constructed the castle of Harsefeld [Herseveld][1811] in 964. Thietmar names his "grandfather Heinrich" when recording that he tried to capture Duke Hermann Billung at Magdeburg allegedly in response the duke's "arrogance" in certain ceremonial matters[1812]. The Chronicon Monasterii Rosenfeld seu Hassefeld records the death “VI Id Mai” of “Heinricus comes, Calvus”[1813].

m firstly ([946]) JUDITH, daughter of --- [Konradiner] & his wife --- (-16 Oct [973]). "Iuditham sororem Udonis ducis qui postmodum in Calabria sub Ottone Rufo cum multis occubuit" is named in Annalista Saxo, which specifies that she 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[1814]. Her husband is named "Heinricus Calvus comes de Stathen" in a later passage[1815]. Thietmar records that his grandmother Judith died 26 Oct and "rests in a church which her daughter had constructed"[1816]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "16 Oct" of "Juthita com"[1817].

m secondly HILDEGARD [von Reinhausen, daughter of ELLI [I] Graf von Reinhausen & his wife ---] (-11 Jun ----). The Annales Stadenses name "Hildigardam" as wife of "Heinricus calvus" and mother of "Bonus Heinricus"[1818]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. The Chronicon Monasterii Rosenfeld seu Hassefeld records the death “VI Id Mai” of “Heinricus comes, Calvus” and in the next line “III Id Jun” of “Hildegardis cometissa uxor”[1819].

Graf Heinrich [I] & his first wife had seven children:

1. HEINRICH [II] "der Gute" von Stade ([946]-2 Oct 1016, bur Harsefeld). "Heinricum, Udonem et Sigefridum" are named as the three sons of Judith in the Annalista Saxo, Siegfried being named "filio Heinrici comitis de Stathen" in a later passage[1820]. Thietmar also names his three maternal uncles "Heinrich, Udo and Siegfried", specifying that Heinrich and Siegfried were captured by pirates together with Count Adalgar when their brother Udo was killed [23 Jun 994][1821]. Graf von Stade. The Annalista Saxo records that "Henricus comes, filius Heinrici de Stathe" destroyed the castle of Hersefeld and founded a monastery on the site[1822]. The Annales Stadenses name "Heinricus canonicus in Hildensem" as only son of "Heinricus Calvus [et] uxorem Hildegardam" (although it appears chronologically impossible for Heinrich [II] to have been the son of Heinrich [I] by his second wife), specifying that he left the church, was known as "Bonus Heinricus" and had two sons "Sifridum comitem qui Stade ædificavit" and a brother who was captured by pirates, the remaining parts of the passage contradicting the genealogy of the family as set out in the Annalista Saxo[1823]. The Annales Corbeienses record that "duo fratres…Heinricus et Sigifrdus" were captured in 994 and "tertius Udo" killed[1824]. The death of "Heinricus comes, filius Heinrici de Stathe" is recorded in the Annalista Saxo "VI Non Oct 1016"[1825]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "2 Oct" of "Heinricus com"[1826]. m ([970]) MECHTILD, daughter of --- (-19 Oct ----, bur Harsefeld). "Mactilidis" is named wife of "Heinricus comes, filius Heinrici de Stathe" in the Annalista Saxo[1827]. The Chronicon Monasterii Rosenfeld seu Hassefeld records the death “VI Non Oct” of “Heinricus comes...Bonus” and in the next line “XIV Kal Nov” of “Mathilda cometissa uxor”[1828]. Graf Heinrich [II] & his wife had [two] children:

a) [SIEGFRIED] [III] von Stade ([970]-26 Oct 994). The Annales Stadenses name "Sifridum comitem qui Stade ædificavit" as one of the two sons of "Bonus Heinricus"[1829]. However, as noted above, the remaining parts of this passage contradict the genealogy of the family set out in the Annalista Saxo. It is unclear therefore whether this Siegfried existed as a separate person. Some corroboration is found in Adam of Bremen who names "marchio Sigafridus, comes Thiadricus" among the Saxons captured by Danes at "apud Stadium", although as noted below it is more likely that this refers to Heinrich [II] "der Gute" and his brother Siegfried. Adam specifies that "marchio Sigafridus" was the only captive who was able to escape to seek help, returning with "dux Benno" with whom he was victorious[1830]. The passage is undated but adjacent paragraphs suggest that it relates to an incident in the late 980s/early 990s. Thietmar records that, after the payment of the ransom for the release of Heinrich, the latter was "replaced by his only son" (unnamed), and in a later passage that, after the escape of Siegfried, his captors "cut off the noses, ears and hands of the priest my cousin" and the other captives before throwing them into the water[1831]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "26 Oct" of "Sigifrith com"[1832].]

b) [son . The Annales Stadenses name "Sifridum comitem qui Stade ædificavit" as one of the two sons of "Bonus Heinricus"[1833], although as noted above it is not certain that this is correct. The existence of the second unnamed son is therefore not certain and is not corroborated in other sources.]

2. LOTHAR-UDO [I] von Stade ([950]-killed in battle near Stade 23 Jun 994). "Heinricum, Udonem et Sigefridum" are named as the three sons of Judith in the Annalista Saxo, Siegfried being named "filio Heinrici comitis de Stathen" in a later passage[1834]. Thietmar also names his three maternal uncles "Heinrich, Udo and Siegfried", specifying that Udo was killed in battle "with the pirates"[1835]. Graf von Stade. The Annales Corbeienses record that "duo fratres…Heinricus et Sigifrdus" were captured in 994 and "tertius Udo" killed[1836]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "23 Jun" of "Udo com"[1837]. m --- im Liesgau, daughter of SIEGBERT Graf im Liesgau & his wife ---. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. Graf Lothar-Udo [I] & his wife had two children:

a) HEINRICH [III] von Stade . The Annalista Saxo names him brother of Udo, when recording that they (among others) were the murderers of Ekkehard I Markgraf von Meissen in 1002, but does not give their parentage[1838]. Graf im Liesgau 997. Canon at Hildesheim Cathedral after 1002.

b) UDO von Stade (before 986-after 1040).

- GRAFEN von KATLENBURG.

3. GERBERG von Stade ([950]-[1000]). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[1842], she married secondly Bruno [VI] Graf von Braunschweig. Presumably this is incorrect, as the wife of Bruno von Braunschweig who died in the early years of the 11th century is recorded in other sources as Gisela of Swabia, who married as her third husband Konrad II King of Germany. The marriage is also inconsistent with the dates accorded to the first husband of Gerberg. m ([975]) DIETRICH [I] von Querfurt, son of BRUNO Graf von Arneburg & his wife Frederuna ---.

4. KUNIGUNDE von Stade ([956]-13 Jul 997, bur Germersleben).

Abbess of Heeslingen 973.

6. EMNILDE von Stade . Thietmar records that his "maternal aunt Emnilde" educated him at Quedlinburg (where she was presumably a nun), noting that she "had long suffered from paralysis"[1845].

7. SIEGFRIED [II] von Stade ([965]-6 Jan or 1 May 1037). "Heinricum, Udonem et Sigefridum" are named as the three sons of Judith in the Annalista Saxo, Siegfried being named "filio Heinrici comitis de Stathen" in a later passage[1846]. Graf von Stade.

Graf Heinrich [I] & his second wife had one child:

8. HILDEGARDE von Stade ([974/77]-3 Oct 1011, bur Lüneburg St Michaelis). The primary source which confirms Hildegarde's parentage and her marriage has not so far been identified. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "3 Oct" of "Hildegarth ducissa"[1847]. m ([990]) BERNHARD I Herzog in Sachsen, son of HERMANN Billung dux in Saxony & his [first/second] wife [Oda ---/Hildesuit---] (-Corvey 9 Feb 1011, bur Lüneburg St Michaelis (-Corvey 9 Feb 1011, bur Lüneburg St Michaelis).

SIEGFRIED [II] von Stade, son of HEINRICH "der Kahle" Graf im Heiangau & his first wife Judith von der Wetterau [Konradiner] ([965]-6 Jan or 1 May 1037). "Heinricum, Udonem et Sigefridum" are named as the three sons of Judith in the Annalista Saxo, Siegfried being named "filio Heinrici comitis de Stathen" in a later passage[1848]. Thietmar also names his three maternal uncles "Heinrich, Udo and Siegfried", specifying that Heinrich and Siegfried were captured by the pirates together with Count Adalgar when their brother Udo was killed [23 Jun 994][1849]. Adam of Bremen names "marchio Sigafridus, comes Thiadricus" among the Saxons captured by Danes at "apud Stadium", specifying that "marchio Sigafridus" was the only one able to escape to seek help, returning with "dux Benno" with whom he was victorious[1850]. The passage is undated but adjacent paragraphs suggest that it relates to an incident in the late 980s/early 990s. The Annales Corbeienses record that "duo fratres…Heinricus et Sigifrdus" were captured in 994 and "tertius Udo" killed[1851]. Thietmar also records that Siegfried eventually escaped from captivity to seek help for the remaining captives[1852]. Graf von Stade. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "1 May" of "Sifridus com"[1853].

m (before 23 Jun 994) ADELA von Alsleben, daughter of GERO Graf von Alsleben & his wife Adela --- (-1 May ----). The wife of "Sigefrido filio Heinrici comitis de Stathen" is named "Athela" in the Annalista Saxo, which also names their son and two daughters. She is named "Adhelam filiam Geronis comitis de Alesleve" in a later passage[1854]. Thietmar records that Siegfried was welcomed back by "his wife Adela" after his escape from captivity[1855]. The Chronicon Monasterii Rosenfeld seu Hassefeld records the death “VIII Id Jan” of “Sifridus comes, filius Henrici boni” [which contradicts the sources quoted above] and in the next line “Kal Mai” of “Adela cometissa uxor”[1856].

Graf Siegfried [II] & his wife had three children:

1. LOTHAR-UDO [II] von Stade (after 23 Jun 994-7 Nov 1057). He is named "Liutgerum comitem", and his parentage specified, in the Annalista Saxo[1857]. His birth date is estimated from Thietmar recording that his father Siegfried had no sons for use as hostages at the time of his capture by pirates in Jun 994[1858]. He succeeded his father in 1037 as Graf von Stade. He succeeded in 1056 as LOTHAR-UDO I Markgraf der Nordmark. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "6 Nov" of "Udo com"[1859]. m ([1025]) ADELHEID [von Rheinfelden], daughter of --- (-7 Dec after 1057, bur Alsleben). The Annales Stadenses name "Adelheithim amitam Rodolfi [von Rheinfelden]" as wife of "comitem Luderum"[1860]. Other parts of these Annales appear unreliable and this statement should be treated with caution until corroborated by another source. The word “amita”, if used in its strict sense, would indicate paternal aunt, but it has been observed that the terms patruus/avunculus/amita/matertera are sometimes used indiscriminately in medieval sources to indicate relationships on either the paternal or maternal side of a family. The Chronicon Monasterii Rosenfeld seu Hassefeld records the death “VII Id Nov” of “Luderus comes, qui capellam sancti Nicolai construxit” and in the next line “VII Id Dec” of “Adelheit cometissa uxor Luderi comitis”[1861].

The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Rodolfum, Udonem et Hartwigum Bremensem archiepiscopum, et filiam nomine Liuccardem" as children of "Rodolfus comes frater Udonis marchionis" and his wife Richardis, specifying that "Rodolfus" died childless[1912]. Graf von Stade. Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz an exchange of property between "heredes comites Rodulfi…marchionis…prefati comitis filius Rodulfus…matre eius religiosa vidua Richarde…et fratre predicti pueri Udone iam milite facto et uxorato…" and the provost of Jechenburg, by charter dated 15 Jul 1128, witnessed by "Palatinus comes Willelmus, Marchio Adelbertus, comes Herimannus et frater eius Cunradus…"[1913]. He succeeded his brother in 1130 as RUDOLF II Markgraf der Nordmark. He asserted his rule with a heavy hand and was murdered by peasants in Dithmarschen[1914]. The Annales Stadenses records that he was killed by "Thietmarcis"[1915]. The Annales Erphesfurdenses record that "Ruodolfus comes Saxonie" was killed in 1144[1916]. The Chronicon Monasterii Rosenfeld seu Hassefeld records the death “Id Mar” of “Rudolphus comes”[1917]. Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg confirmed the foundation of Stift Jericho, naming "occiso a Thietmarsiensibus…comite de Staden Rodolfo, Marchionis Rodulfi filio, dominus Hartuigus frater eiusdem occisi principis, Bremensis ecclesie…archiepiscopus, nec non…mater illorum Domina Richardis", by charter dated 1172[1918]. m (before 1128) as her first husband, ELISABETH of Styria, daughter of LEOPOLD I "der Starke" Markgraf of Styria & his wife Sophie of Bavaria [Welf] ([1124]-25 Dec after 1138). The Annales Stadenses names "Elizabeth sororem Ottokkar de Stire" as wife of "Rodolfum [filius Rodulfi]"[1919]. Her second marriage is deduced from the necrology of Seckau which records the death "VIII Kal Jan" of "Elitzabeth ducissa Carinthiæ sor ducis Styriæ"[1920]. She married secondly Heinrich von Sponheim who succeeded in 1144 as Heinrich IV Duke of Carinthia.

He transferred the family territories on the middle Elbe to the bishopric of Havelberg, the monastery of Jerichow and the Marienstift at Magdeburg[1922]. Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony challenged the transfer to the archbishopric of Bremen, took possession of the lands and in early 1145 captured both Hartwig and the archbishop, although they were soon released in return for a large ransom and recognising Duke Heinrich's claims[1923]. Archbishop of Bremen 1148. Wichmann Archbishop of Magdeburg confirmed the foundation of Stift Jericho, naming "occiso a Thietmarsiensibus…comite de Staden Rodolfo, Marchionis Rodulfi filio, dominus Hartuigus frater eiusdem occisi principis, Bremensis ecclesie…archiepiscopus, nec non…mater illorum Domina Richardis", by charter dated 1172[1924].

The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Rodolfum, Udonem et Hartwigum Bremensem archiepiscopum, et filiam nomine Liuccardem" as children of "Rodolfus comes frater Udonis marchionis" and his wife Richardis, specifying that Liutgard married "Friedericus iunior de Sumersenburh palatinus comes"[1925]. The Annales Stadenses names "Lutgardim [filiam Rodolfi]" as firstly wife of "Friderici palatine de Somersgenburg", secondly of "Erico…Lam regi Danorum" and thirdly of "Hermanno de Winceburg"[1926]. She was murdered with her third husband. m firstly (divorced before 1144) FRIEDRICH [II] Pfalzgraf von Sommerschenburg, son of FRIEDRICH [I] von Sommerschenburg Pfalzgraf in Sachsen & his wife Adelheid von Laufen (-19 May 1162, bur Marienthal). m secondly (1144, divorced) ERIK III "Lam" King of Denmark, son of HAAKON Sunnivasson & his wife Ragnhild Eriksdatter of Denmark (-Odense, St Knuds Abbey 27 Aug 1146, bur Odense, St Knuds Abbey). m thirdly (1148) as his second wife, HERMANN [II] Graf von Winzenburg, son of HERMANN [I] Graf von Windberg, Ratelberg und Winzenburg, Markgraf von Sachsen [Formbach] & his second wife Hedwig of Carniola and Istria (-murdered Winzenburg 29 Jan 1152).

4. SIEGFRIED von Stade (-17 Jun [1110]). The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Heinricum, Udonem, Sigifridum, Rodulfum et filiam Adelheidis" as children of Lothar Udo [III] & his wife Oda[1927].

6. daughter . The Annales Stadenses records the two daughters of Udo and Oda, specifying that one (unnamed) was "abbatissa…Alesleve"[1931]. Abbess of Alsleben [1110].

B. GRAFEN von STADE (family of FRIEDRICH)

1. --- . m ---.

a) daughter . The Annales Stadenses record that the "avia et mater" of "Fridericus [comes Stadensis]" sailed from England, were shipwrecked on the coast of the county of Stade and were taken to the court of Oda, wife of Lothar-Udo III Graf von Stade, where the Annales record that "mater nupsit" and had three daughters, also recording their descendants as shown below[1932]. The chronology is unclear from the passage but, if the narrative is correct, the events must have occurred after [1065], the estimated date of the marriage of Oda and Graf Lothar-Udo. The date suggests that the family left England to escape the Normans after the accession of King William I. The name "Friedrich" is untypical of an Anglo-Saxon family, although it could conceivably be a distortion of a Danish name. The marriage was presumably her second, as the narrative clearly refers to her as "mater" of Friedrich while only specifying the birth of her three daughters from the marriage in Stade. As pointed out in the introduction to this chapter, no corroboration has been found of these events in other sources, although the detailed recording in the Annales of the names of the descendants of the three daughters inspires some confidence in the accuracy of the source. m firstly ---. m secondly (after [1065]) ---. child of first marriage:

i) FRIEDRICH (before [1065]-13 Apr 1135). The Annales Stadenses record that Egilmar II Graf von Oldenburg granted administration of the county of Stade to "Friedrich", presumably after prevailing (at least temporarily) in the dispute concerning the inheritance of his maternal grandmother Ida von Elstorp [Brunswick][1933]. Some corroboration of a transfer of power in Stade is found in the Annalista Saxo which records that Heinrich Graf von Stade, after his death in 1087, gave "comitatum suum Stadhe" to "Friderico, quem habuit quadraginta annis" while his brother Lothar-Udo succeeded as Markgraf[1934], although this is inconsistent with the involvement of Graf Egilmar II who only succeeded his father in or after 1108. As mentioned above, Friedrich was presumably born from an earlier marriage of his mother before the arrival of the family in Stade. The Annales Stadenses record the death "1135 Id Apr" of "Fridericus comes Stadensis"[1935], although if the age referred to in the Annalista Saxo is correct it would be unlikely that this refers to the same Friedrich. The absence of further references to the family in the records suggests that Friedrich died without direct heirs.

children of second marriage, the descendants as shown below are recorded in the Annales Stadenses[1936]. No record has yet been found of any of these individuals in any other primary sources so far consulted.

KONRAD von Werl, son of BERNHARD Graf von Werl[-Arnsberg] & his wife --- (-killed in battle Friesland 10 Jul 1092). Graf von Werl[-Arnsberg]. The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Vogt of Paderborn Cathedral 1066. He was killed fighting the Frisians in 1092[1952]. The Annales Corbeienses record that "Counradus comes" was killed "a Morsaciensibus" in 1092[1953].

m MATHILDE von Northeim, daughter of OTTO I Graf von Northeim Duke of Bavaria & his wife Richenza [Ezzonen]. The Annalista Saxo names "Heinricum Crassum comitem…Sifridum de Boumeneburh et Cononem comitem de Bichlinge et tres filias, terciam vero duxit Conradus comes de Arnesberge" as children of Otto von Northeim & his wife[1954]. The Annales Stadenses also refers to the four daughters of Otto, specifying that "secunda mater fuit Frederici comitis de Arnesberch" but does not name her[1955]. The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified.

Graf Konrad & his wife had three children:

1. HERMANN von Werl (-killed in battle 19 Jul 1092). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.

2. FRIEDRICH "der Streitbare" von Werl (-11 Feb 1124). The Annalista Saxo names "Fridericum comitem" and his parents[1956]. Graf von Arnsberg. Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln donated property to Kloster Siegburg by charter dated 1116 witnessed by "Franco burgicomes, comes Fridericus de Arnesberg, comes Adolfus de Monte, Theodericus de Gladbach, Arnulfus de Odenkirche…"[1957]. Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln confirmed donations to Kloster Siegburg by charter dated 29 Mar 1117 witnessed by "Comes Fridericus de Arnesburg, Comes Adolfus de Monte, Comes Adolfus de Saphfenberg, Comes Gerhardus de Iuliaco, Theodericus de Gladebach et Edelgerus frater eius…"[1958]. Vogt of Paderborn Cathedral. The Annales Rosenveldenses records the death in 1124 of "Fredericus de Arnesburg"[1959]. m as her first husband, ADELHEID van Limburg, daughter of HENDRIK [I] Graaf van Limburg Duke of Lower Lotharingia & his [second] wife Adelheid von Botenstein (-6 Feb before 1146). The Annalista Saxo records the second of the two daughters of "Heinricus dux de Lintburh" & his wife Adelheid von Botenstein as the wife of "Fridericus comes de Arnesberge" but does not name her[1960]. "Chuno de Horberch…cum uxore sua Adelheit" donated property to Osterhove monastery[1961]. The primary source which confirms Adelheid, wife of Kuno, as the widow of Friedrich Graf von Arnsberg has not yet been identified. She married secondly ([Feb 1124/1130]) Kuno Graf von Horburg, and thirdly (before 19 Mar 1140) as his first wife, Konrad [II] Graf von Dachau. The primary source which confirms her third marriage has not yet been identified. Graf Friedrich & his wife had one child:

a) IDA [Jutta] von Arnsberg . The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis refers to "Friderici comitis filiam" as the wife of Gottfried Graf von Cappenburg[1962]. The Annales Stadenses specifies that "unam filiam [Frederici comitis de Arnesberch]", without naming her, was wife of "Godefridus de Cuc, pater comitem Heinrici et Frederici de Arnesburch" while "secundam filiam [Frederici comitis de Arnesberch]", without naming her either, was wife of "Otto de Cappenburch, cuius filia Eilica uxor Eilmari"[1963]. Europäische Stammtafeln[1964] conflates these two possible daughters into one, married twice. No source has been identified which confirms that this is correct, although the death of Gottfried Graf von Cappenberg shortly before the marriage to Gottfried van Kuyc suggests that it is a possibility. This is the solution which is shown here. The Annales Stadenses contain many inaccuracies and it is preferable not to rely exclusively on this source in the absence of independent corroboration. This unreliability is illustrated by the reference to "Otto de Capenburch", which must be an error for Gottfried, and by the suggestion that the couple were parents of Eilika, later Gräfin von Oldenburg. The latter point contradicts the Vita Godefridi comitis Cappenbergensis which names Heinrich Graf von Rietberg (see below) as Eilika's father, which is a more acceptable possibility from a chronological point of view. Heiress of Arnsberg. m [firstly] GOTTFRIED [II] Graf von Cappenberg, son of GOTTFRIED [I] Graf von Cappenberg & his wife Beatrix von Hildrizhausen (-27 Jan 1127). [m secondly (1129) GOTTFRIED von Malsen gt van Kuyc, son of HEINRICH Heer van Kuyc & his wife Alveradis [von Hochstaden] (-1168 or after). Graf von Arnsberg [1130].]

3. HEINRICH von Werl (-[1115/18]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Graf von Rietberg. Vogt of Paderborn. m (after 1106) as her second husband, BEATRIX von Hildrizhausen, widow of GOTTFRIED [I] Graf von Cappenberg, daughter of HEINRICH Graf von Hildrizhausen & his wife Beatrix von Schweinfurt (-[1115/22]). The Annalista Saxo refers to the unnamed daughter of Beatrix von Schweinfurt and her husband as the wife of "Godefridus de Cappenberch", and mother of "duos filios Gotefridum et Ottonem"[1965]. The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis names "pater eius Godefridus, mater Beatrix" as parents of Gottfried Graf von Cappenberg[1966]. The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis names "Heinricum comitem de Ryetbeke" as second husband of Beatrix who married him after the death of "Godefrido"[1967]. Graf Heinrich & his wife had one child:

a) EILIKA von Rietberg (-bur Jadelo). The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis names "Eileke" as daughter of "Heinricum comitem de Ryetbeke" & his wife Beatrix, specifying that she married "comes Eigelmarus de Aldenburg"[1968]. Another passage in the same source names "Beatricem, quæ conversa est in Capenberg et sepulta cum Eilica comitissa de Aldenburch ad sanctæ Mariam Magdalenam, et Gerbergim quam clam abduxit domnus Bernherus de Erperode" as sisters of "comites Godefridus et Otto"[1969]. The precise wording of this passage is not inconsistent with Eilika being the uterine half-sister of Beatrix and Gerberga. m EGILMAR [II] Graf im Lerigau [Oldenburg], son of Graf EGILMAR [I] & his wife Richeza --- (-before 1145).

C. GRAFEN von ARNSBERG (KUYC)

Lothar King of Germany confirmed property of Duisburg by charter dated 8 May 1129 witnessed by "…Comites: …Godefridus et Hermannus de Cuch…"[1971]. “Alveradis mulier nobilis” donated property to Marienweerd, with the consent of “filiis suis Godefrido et Herimanno”, by charter dated 1129[1972]. Lothar King of Germany confirmed the donation to Kloster Siegburg made by "Alverada de Cuck cum suis liberis" by charter dated 2 May 1131 witnessed by "…Comes Gerhardus de Iuliaco, Comes Adolfus de Saffenberch, Gerhardus Hostath, Godefridus et frater eius Herimannus de Chuh, Gerhardus de Mulenarca…"[1973]. Graf von Arnsberg [1130]. The Annalista Saxo names "Godefridi comitis de Kuc [et] fratre suo Herimanno" recording that the emperor confiscated their ancestral lands[1974]. Konrad III King of Germany dismissed claims by "comes Adelbertus de Noruenich" to property "in silva…Osninch" claimed from Kloster Brauweiler by charter dated 14 Sep 1141, witnessed by "…comes Arnoldus de Cleuia, comes Adolfus de Monte, comes Heinricus de Gelra, comes Adolfus de Saphenberch, Gerardus puer comes de Iuliaco, Godefridus de Arnesberch, Herimannus de Cuich…"[1975].

The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis refers to "Friderici comitis filiam" as the wife of Gottfried Graf von Cappenburg[1976]. The Annales Stadenses specifies that "unam filiam [Frederici comitis de Arnesberch]", without naming her, was wife of "Godefridus de Cuc, pater comitem Heinrici et Frederici de Arnesburch" while "secundam filiam [Frederici comitis de Arnesberch]", without naming her either, was wife of "Otto de Cappenburch, cuius filia Eilica uxor Eilmari"[1977]. Europäische Stammtafeln[1978] conflates these two possible daughters into one, married twice. No source has been identified which confirms that this is correct, although the death of Gottfried Graf von Cappenberg shortly before the marriage to Gottfried van Kuyc suggests that it is a possibility.

This unreliability is illustrated by the reference to "Otto de Capenburch", which must be an error for Gottfried, and by the suggestion that the couple were parents of Eilika, later Gräfin von Oldenburg. The latter point contradicts the Vita Godefridi comitis Cappenbergensis which names Heinrich Graf von Rietberg (see below) as Eilika's father, which is a more acceptable possibility from a chronological point of view. Heiress of Arnsberg.

[m secondly HEILWIG van Renen, daughter of GODFRIED van Renen & his [first] wife Sophia van Bemmel (-after 1178). "Helewige et heredibus suis…Hugone et Godefrido…" consented to the donation of property at Dilbeek to Bijgaarden near Brussels, by charter dated 1164[1979]. Bishop Godfried´s testament dated 9 Apr 1178 names "pater meus Godefridus de Renen" and refers to the distribution of his possessions "de Brabantia" to his three sons "Theoderico, Gerlaco et Arnoldo clerico" and to "Hugoni fratri meo, et michi Godefrido, et sorori Helewigi", with reversion to “Godefridus cognatus meus...filiis...Sophie neptis mee et Henricus de Kuc”[1980].]

This first marriage is indicated by the marriage date of Gottfried’s daughter Sophie, who could not have been born from his marriage to his known wife Adelheid. m secondly (before 1238) ADELHEID von Bliescastel, daughter of HEINRICH Graf von Bliescastel & his wife Agnes von Sayn (-before 1272). “Godefridus...comes in Arnesberg” donated property to Kloster Wedinghausen by charter dated 1238, subscribed by “Godefridus comes, Alheidis comitissa...”[2032]. “Godefridus...comes Arnesbergensis, Alheydis cometissa cum filiis eorum” donated property “Welscholt” to Kloster Welver by charter dated 1245[2033]. "Godefridus comes de Arnesberg cum uxore nostra Alheydi et…Engelbertus comes de Marcha cum uxore nostra Cunegundi" donated "patronatus ecclesie de Lussenich" to the Teutonic Knights, for the soul of "quondam comitis Henrici Seynensis", by charter dated Jul 1258[2034]. “Godefridus comes et Alheydis comitissa de Arnesberch” sold property “in Mulenhem” to the Teutonic Knights, with the consent of “liberorum nostrorum...Godefridi, Frederici, Ludewici, Johannis”, by charter dated 20 Apr 1266[2035]. “Godefridus...comes Arnesbergensis” confirmed donations to Kloster Welver, with the consent of “Aleydis uxoris nostre, Frederici, Johannis, Ludewici filiorum nostrorum”, by charter dated 5 Mar 1269 (O.S.)[2036]. Gottfried [III] & his first wife had [two] children:

i) SOPHIE von Arnsberg (-after 3 Jun 1285). “Bernhardus nobilis de Lippia et domina Sophia uxor eiusdem” donated property to Kloster Lippstadt, for “natis nostris pia recordatione defunctis...Gherardi aliud Ecberti natorum nostrorum bone memorie”, with the consent of “ordinantes Hermanno et Th natis nostris”, by charter dated 26 Nov 1262[2037]. Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated 2 Sep 1263 under which “Godefridus comes de Arnesberg” agreed an alliance with Engelbert Archbishop of Köln, except respecting his obligations towards “domino Simone Paderbornensis ecclesie episcopo, domino Engelberto comite de Marcha consanguineo meo, genero meo domino Bernhardo seniore de Lippia et Bernardo nato ipsius dominis...genero meo domino Henrico comite de Waltegge et viro nobili Ottone de Ravensberg”[2038]. As noted above, if Bernhard [II] Herr zur Lippe was indeed the son-in-law (“gener”) of Gottfried [III] Graf von Arnsberg, the chronology dictates that his wife was born from an otherwise unrecorded first marriage of Gottfried. "Sophia nobilis domina mater…virorum nobilium de Lypa" donated her property "in terminis Saxonie" to "dominis Ottoni de Ravensberge et Alberto de Regenstene et generis nostris" by charter dated 1 Feb 1275[2039]. m (before 4 May 1240) BERNARD [III] zur Lippe, son of HERMANN [II] zur Lippe & his wife Oda von Tecklenburg (-[Dec 1264/Jan 1265]).

ii) HEINRICH von Arnsberg (-after 17 May 1273). "Godefridus comes de Arnesburg nomine filii mei Henrici et uxoris sue Hadewigis" renounced rights "in bonis de Barme" which "dominus Ludovicus comes de Rauensberg" had sold to "domino Henrico duci Limburgensi comiti de Monte" by charter dated 1244[2040]. This document indicates that Heinrich was a minor at the time, so therefore probably born from his father’s first marriage. “Godefridus...comes in Arnesberg” donated “Wibodinchusen” to Kloster Himmelpforten, with the consent of “uxoris nostre, Heinrici et Godefridi filiorum nostrorum”, by charter dated 1249[2041]. “Frater Henricus filius comitis Arnesbergensis...” witnessed the charter dated 17 May 1273 under which Agnes Abbess of Kloster Meschede sold property to Kloster Paradies[2042]. m (before 1244) HEDWIG, daughter of --- (-after 1244). "Godefridus comes de Arnesburg nomine filii mei Henrici et uxoris sue Hadewigis" renounced rights "in bonis de Barme" which "dominus Ludovicus comes de Rauensberg" had sold to "domino Henrico duci Limburgensi comiti de Monte" by charter dated 1244[2043]. This charter suggests a connection between Heinrich and the Ravensberg family. The chronology suggests that Heinrich’s wife could have been Hedwig von Ravensberg, daughter of Ludwig Graf von Ravensberg & his first wife Gertrud zur Lippe, although if that is correct she would have been young for marriage at the time.

Gottfried [III] & his [first/second] wife had three children:

iii) GOTTFRIED von Arnsberg (-after 20 Apr 1266). “Godefridus...comes in Arnesberg” donated “Wibodinchusen” to Kloster Himmelpforten, with the consent of “uxoris nostre, Heinrici et Godefridi filiorum nostrorum”, by charter dated 1249[2044]. “Godefridus comes de Arnesberg” donated property “Caldehof”, with the consent of “Alheydis uxoris nostre et [Godefridi], Frederici, Ludewici”, to Kloster Oelinghausen by charter dated 5 Mar 1251[2045]. Gottfried’s absence from the charters dated 15 Jun 1257 and 1258, in which his younger brothers are named, is difficult to explain except by an extended absence from his father’s territories. “Godefridus comes de Arnesberg” donated “advocatiam…in Edinchusen” to Kloster Oelinghausen, with the consent of “Alheydis uxoris nostre comitisse…et Godefridi filii nostri”, by charter dated 28 Jun 1264[2046]. “Godefridus comes et Alheydis comitissa de Arnesberch” sold property “in Mulenhem” to the Teutonic Knights, with the consent of “liberorum nostrorum...Godefridi, Frederici, Ludewici, Johannis”, by charter dated 20 Apr 1266[2047].

- see below.

vi) MECHTILD von Arnsberg (-after 13 Aug 1298).

"Otto comes de Waldecke…[et] Sophia uxor nostra" renounced their claim over Blackenrode in favour of the bishop of Paderborn, in the presence of "Methildis matris nostre, nobilium virorum Adolphi comitis de Schwalenbergh ac domini Simonis de Lippia", by charter dated 13 Aug 1298[2059]. m HEINRICH [II] Graf von Waldeck, son of ADOLF [I] Graf von Waldeck & his first wife Sophie --- (-1267, bur Kloster Netze).

vii) JOHANN von Arnsberg (-after 1307). “Godefridus comes et Alheydis comitissa de Arnesberch” sold property “in Mulenhem” to the Teutonic Knights, with the consent of “liberorum nostrorum...Godefridi, Frederici, Ludewici, Johannis”, by charter dated 20 Apr 1266[2060]. “Godefridus...comes Arnesbergensis” confirmed donations to Kloster Welver, with the consent of “Aleydis uxoris nostre, Frederici, Johannis, Ludewici filiorum nostrorum”, by charter dated 5 Mar 1269 (O.S.)[2061]. “Godefridus comes senior in Arnesberg” donated property to Kloster Wedinghausen, with the consent of “heredum nostrorum Lodewici...et Johannis...et cometisse Petronille conjugis filii nostri Lodewici”, by charter dated 1279[2062].

viii) ADELHEID von Arnsberg (-after Jan 1281). “Graf Ludwig von Arlisberg” granted rights inherited from their parents “an die Grafschaft Castel” to “seiner Schwester Aleyde, Gemahlin Gerhards Herrn von Dollendorf” by charter dated Jan 1281[2065]. Her husband’s absence from the 1267 charters, cited in the document FRANCONIA, LOWER RHINE NOBILITY, relating to the Bliescastel inheritance suggests that he married after that date. m ([after 1267]) as his first wife, GERLACH [II] Herr von Dollendorf, son of GERLACH [I] Herr von Dollendorf & his wife Mechtild von Isenburg (-[28 Sep/Nov] 1307).

7. ADELHEID von Arnsberg ([1285/90?]-after 1315). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Her maternal ancestry is suggested by the following document, Wilhelm Markgraf von Jülich being the nephew of Petronella von Jülich: "Wilhelm…marcgreue zu Guilge" reached agreement with "unser niechten vrauwe Aleyde greuinnen van Nassauwe [Adelheid’s supposed daughter], yren kynden ind yren eruen, heren Frederiche heirren zu Cronenberch ind heren Goedarde heirren zu Wyltz […unserm niechten]" to divide the half share of "Wilhelme greuen zu Namen" in the inheritance of the late "unsme neiuen greue Lodewiche van Vyanden" by charter dated 23 May 1356[2138]. Adelheid’s estimated birth date is based on the likely chronology of the Vianden family, which in turn suggests her likely marriage date. Bertholet records that Philipp Graf von Vianden donated property to Vianden Sainte-Trinité, with the consent of “sa femme Adélaïde”, by charter dated 1315[2139]. m ([1300/05?]) as his second wife, PHILIPP [II] Graf von Vianden, son of GOTTFRIED [I] Graf von Vianden & his first wife Aleidis van Oudenaarde ([after 1278?]-[1315/16]).

The Herrschaft von Bilstein in Sauerland, Westfalia lay about 25 kilometres south of Arnsberg, about the same distance south-west of Meschede. The castle of Bilstein was acquired by the Gevore family some time in the first quarter of the 13th century. No record has been found which confirms that the castle was newly built or acquired by purchase or inheritance.

5. HEINRICH [II] von Gevore (-after 5 Sep 1217).

Johann’s precise family relationship with the Arnsberg family has not been ascertained. Marshall of Westfalia: “Dni Johannis nobilis viri de Bilsteyne Westfalie nunc Marschalci, dni Widekindi comitis de Widegensteine...” witnessed the charter dated 29 May 1284 under which “Widekindus de Grascaph nobilis...” donated property to Kloster Grafschaft[2170]. “Domini Theoderici prepositi ecclesie Sosatiensis et domini Johannis nobilis viri fratris eiusdem...” witnessed the charter dated 24 Apr 1286 under which “Euerhardus advocatus miles...ecclesie Susatiensis” mortgaged property[2171]. “Johannes Marschalcus Westphalie” listed revenues from fiefdoms in Westfalia by charter dated to [1293/1300][2172]. “Jo. nobilis dominus de Bilsten” notified “nobili domino et...sororio suo O[ttoni] comiti de Polle” of the status of property by charter dated to [1290/93][2173]. “Johannes dnus de Bylstene” exchanged property with Kloster Grafschaft, with the consent of “Jutte uxoris nostre...Theoderici filii nostri senioris”, by charter dated 11 Jan 1296[2174]. “Johannes dnus de Bylstene” confirmed an exchange of property involving Kloster Grafschaft by charter dated 13 Aug 1301[2175]. m JUTTA, daughter of --- (-after 11 Jan 1296). “Johannes dnus de Bylstene” exchanged property with Kloster Grafschaft, with the consent of “Jutte uxoris nostre...Theoderici filii nostri senioris”, by charter dated 11 Jan 1296[2176]. Johann [I] & his wife had children:

a) DIETRICH [III] von Bilstein (-5 Oct 1335). “Johannes dnus de Bylstene” exchanged property with Kloster Grafschaft, with the consent of “Jutte uxoris nostre...Theoderici filii nostri senioris”, by charter dated 11 Jan 1296[2177]. Herr von Bilstein. “Theodericus vir nobilis dominus de Bylsteyne” exchanged property with Kloster Meschede, after the mediation of “nobilibus viris dominis Wylhelmo de Arnsbergh...et Johanne de Solmeze genero nostro”, with the consent of “domine Katherine conthoralis nostre...nec non Johannis Ludewici et Wylhelmi filiorum nostrorum”, by charter dated 1327[2178]. m KATHARINA von Arnsberg, daughter of LUDWIG Graf von Arnsberg & his wife Petronilla von Jülich (-11 Jul 1362). “Theodericus vir nobilis dominus de Bylsteyne” exchanged property with Kloster Meschede, after the mediation of “nobilibus viris dominis Wylhelmo de Arnsbergh...et Johanne de Solmeze genero nostro”, with the consent of “domine Katherine conthoralis nostre...nec non Johannis Ludewici et Wylhelmi filiorum nostrorum”, by charter dated 1327[2179]. Dietrich [III] & his wife had four children:

i) JOHANN [II] von Bilstein (-after 1368). “Theodericus vir nobilis dominus de Bylsteyne” exchanged property with Kloster Meschede, after the mediation of “nobilibus viris dominis Wylhelmo de Arnsbergh...et Johanne de Solmeze genero nostro”, with the consent of “domine Katherine conthoralis nostre...nec non Johannis Ludewici et Wylhelmi filiorum nostrorum”, by charter dated 1327[2180]. m firstly (before 13 Apr 1330) as her second husband, KATHARINA von Wickrath, widow of WILHELM von Millen Herr von Grebbe, daughter of LUDOLF Herr von Wickrath & his wife Irmgard --- (-after 1335). "Ludolphus dominus de Wyckeroyde et domina Irmegardis eius uxor” sold property “sitam Ecginckeym infra parrochiam de Rumerskirgen” to the Teutonic Knights at Coblenz, with the consent of “Katherina et Jutta filiabus nostris”, by charter dated 22 Jan 1297[2181]. "Wilhelmus de Milne miles dominus de Wickerade, Katherina eius uxor...Wilhelmus primogenitus eius, Jutta eius legitima, Elizabeth et Aleidis, liberi et heredes domini Wilhelmi militis predicti" sold “nostra bona in Milne”, inherited from “ex morte virorum nobilium Theoderici dicti de Salden et Johannis de Milne fratrum”, to Camp abbey by charter dated 22 Apr 1311[2182]. Her second marriage is recorded in Europäische Stammtafeln[2183], but the primary source on which this information is based has not been identified. m secondly ([1336/47], Papal dispensation 17 Jan 1348) ERMESINDE von Reifferscheid, daughter of [JOHANN [III] von Reifferscheid & his wife Richardis [von Salm]] (-after 1348). Pope Clement VI granted dispensation for the marriage of "Iohanne de Bilstein milite" and “Irmeswinde nata...Iohannis Rifercheit militis Colon. dioc.” despite 4° consanguinity of which the parties were ignorant when they married, dated 17 Jan 1348[2184]. Europäische Stammtafeln indicates that Ermesinde was the daughter of Johann [III] Herr von Reifferscheid[2185]. Another table in the same series states that Johann [II] von Bilstein’s first wife was last named in 1335[2186]. The chronology appears to be compatible with this parentage if Johann’s second marriage took place soon after that date. On the other hand if the couple married shortly before the date of the Papal dispensation, Ermesinde’s wife could have been Johann [IV] Herr von Reifferscheid.

ii) LUDWIG von Bilstein . “Theodericus vir nobilis dominus de Bylsteyne” exchanged property with Kloster Meschede, after the mediation of “nobilibus viris dominis Wylhelmo de Arnsbergh...et Johanne de Solmeze genero nostro”, with the consent of “domine Katherine conthoralis nostre...nec non Johannis Ludewici et Wylhelmi filiorum nostrorum”, by charter dated 1327[2187].

iii) WILHELM von Bilstein . “Theodericus vir nobilis dominus de Bylsteyne” exchanged property with Kloster Meschede, after the mediation of “nobilibus viris dominis Wylhelmo de Arnsbergh...et Johanne de Solmeze genero nostro”, with the consent of “domine Katherine conthoralis nostre...nec non Johannis Ludewici et Wylhelmi filiorum nostrorum”, by charter dated 1327[2188].

iv) IRMGARD von Bilstein (-after 1371). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1327 under which [her father] “Theodericus vir nobilis dominus de Bylsteyne” exchanged property with Kloster Meschede, after the mediation of “nobilibus viris dominis Wylhelmo de Arnsbergh...et Johanne de Solmeze genero nostro”[2189]. m (before 1327) JOHANN [II] Graf von Solms, son of HEINRICH [III] Graf von Solms & his wife Elisabeth --- (-[26 Feb 1354/26 Jan 1356]).

2. DIETRICH von Bilstein (-after 29 Apr 1306). Provost at Kloster Soest. “Theodericus...prepositus Susaciensis ecclesie” donated property to Kloster Benninghausen by charter dated 5 May 1273, witnessed by “dominus Johannes vir nobilis de Bilsteyne...”[2190]. “Johannes dictus de Bylstene” renounced rights in property of Kloster Soest, with the consent of “Theoderici prepositi Susaciensis et Hermanni fratrum nostrorum”, by charter dated 6 Oct 1275[2191]. “Domini Theoderici prepositi ecclesie Sosatiensis et domini Johannis nobilis viri fratris eiusdem...” witnessed the charter dated 24 Apr 1286 under which “Euerhardus advocatus miles...ecclesie Susatiensis” mortgaged property[2192]. Deacon of Köln Cathedral: "Th. decano..." witnessed the charter dated 29 Apr 1306 under which Heinrich Archbishop of Köln confirmed the foundation of Düsseldorf collegial church[2193].

3. HERMANN von Bilstein (-after 6 Oct 1275). “Johannes dictus de Bylstene” renounced rights in property of Kloster Soest, with the consent of “Theoderici prepositi Susaciensis et Hermanni fratrum nostrorum”, by charter dated 6 Oct 1275[2194].

E. HERREN von BÜREN

Two brothers:

1. BERTHOLD [I] von Büren (-after 1222). “Godefridus...comes de Arnesberg...adjuncta nobis manu conjugis Elysabeth” exchanged property with Kloster Cappenberg by charter dated 1198, witnessed by “...Bertoldus de Büren...”[2195]. “Henricus niger de Arnesberg, Hermannus de Rudenberg, Bertoldus de Buren, Thetmarus frater suus” witnessed the charter dated 1217 under which Hermann Graf von Ravensberg confirmed a donation to Münster St Egidius[2196]. “Bertoldus et Thetmarus fratres de Buren” donated property to various churches in the diocese of Paderborn by charter dated 1220[2197]. m firstly ---. The name of Berthold’s first wife is not known. His first marriage is confirmed by the chronology of his son Berthold [II] who, as an adult in 1234, could not have been born from Berthold [I]’s marriage to Udelhild von Hengebach. m secondly (contract before 8 May 1222) as her second husband, UDELHILD [Othelende] von Hengebach, widow of HEINRICH [IV] Graf von Kessel, daughter of EBERHARD [II] von Hengebach & his wife Jutta von Jülich (-after 1222). A charter dated 1218 confirms a donation to Kloster Hoven by "Everardo viro nobili de Hengebach" of property "in villa Vlurne sita", with the consent of "heredum suorum, filiorum…Wilhelmi comitis Juliacensis, Theoderici, Everardi et filiarum Jutte, Udelhildis, Aleidis", witnessed by "Henrico quoque comitis de Kesle…"[2198]. Given the chronology of Udelhild’s parents, it is unlikely that Udelhild’s second husband was Berthold [II] von Büren. An undated charter notes that "comes Wilhelmus de Gulge et uxor sua Mathildis, et Th. frater suus et uxor sua Methildis, et comes H. de Kesle et uxor sua Odelhildis, et Everhardus frater comitis de Gulge et Gerardus de Blanckenheim" relinquished "Turris", with the consent of "Hermanno fratri suo"[2199]. “Henricus comes de Kessele” donated “curtem in Barle et in Kovesdunc” to Marienweerd, with the agreement of “uxore mea Othelende”, by charter dated 1219 (before 18 Oct)[2200]. Engelbert Archbishop of Köln granted “bona in Belskenbike, in Seyenhof, in Ulede et in Hevenhusen” to “consanguinee mee W. quondam comitisse de Kessele” who had contracted to marry “nobili viro B. de Buren”, by charter dated 8 May 1222[2201]. Berthold [I] & his first wife had one child:

The Cistercians at Paderborn and “nobilem virum Bertoldum de Buren...coheres suus Bertoldus junior filius patrui sui Bertoldi premortui” settled a dispute involving an earlier donation by charter dated 1234[2203]. “Nobiles de Buren Bertoldus et Bertoldus...filii duorum fratrum” founded Kloster Holthausen near Büren, with the support of “uxorum suarum et heredum” by charter dated 1243[2204]. [“Bertoldus iunior nobilis de Buren” confirmed an exchange of property with Stift Busdorf by charter dated 4 Jul 1251[2205]. It is not clear whether this document relates to Berthold [II] (described as “junior” in the charter dated 1234) or Berthold [III] (“junior” in the charter dated 22 Jul 1251.] “Bertholdus senior et Bertholdus junior nobiles de Beuren filii fratrum Bertholdi et Thetmari nobili de Beuren” sold property to Marsberg church by charter dated 22 Jul 1251[2206]. “B. senior et B. iunior domini de Buren” sold property to Kloster Oelinghausen by charter dated 31 May 1256[2207]. “Bertoldus senior nobilis de Buren, Bertoldus filius eius” and “Bertoldus iuvenis patruelis ipsorum nobilis et filius eius Bertoldus” donated “decimam...in Holthusen” to Kloster Holthausen by charter dated 1 Aug 1265[2208]. “Nobiles viros Ber. seniorem et Ber. filium suum” and “B. iuniorem et Ber. filium eius...dominos de Buren” agreed rights relating to “castrum et opidum in Buren” by charter dated 14 Feb 1258, confirmed by charter dated 1269[2209]. “Dominus Bertoldus senior, Bertoldus patruelis eiusdem, filii eorundem eiusdem nominis, nobiles domini in Buren...” witnessed the charter dated 2 Aug 1268 under which Hermann Abbot of Helmarshausen donated property to Kloster Holthausen[2210]. m --- (-after 1243). “Nobiles de Buren Bertoldus et Bertoldus...filii duorum fratrum” founded Kloster Holthausen near Büren, with the support of “uxorum suarum et heredum” by charter dated 1243[2211].

THIETMAR von Büren (-after 1220). “Henricus niger de Arnesberg, Hermannus de Rudenberg, Bertoldus de Buren, Thetmarus frater suus” witnessed the charter dated 1217 under which Hermann Graf von Ravensberg confirmed a donation to Münster St Egidius[2215]. “Bertoldus et Thetmarus fratres de Buren” donated property to various churches in the diocese of Paderborn by charter dated 1220[2216]. m ---. The name of Thietmar’s wife is not known. Thietmar & his wife had one child:

The Cistercians at Paderborn and “nobilem virum Bertoldum de Buren...coheres suus Bertoldus junior filius patrui sui Bertoldi premortui” settled a dispute involving an earlier donation by charter dated 1234[2217]. “Nobiles de Buren Bertoldus et Bertoldus...filii duorum fratrum” founded Kloster Holthausen near Büren, with the support of “uxorum suarum et heredum” by charter dated 1243[2218]. [“Bertoldus iunior nobilis de Buren” confirmed an exchange of property with Stift Busdorf by charter dated 4 Jul 1251[2219]. It is not clear whether this document relates to Berthold [II] (described as “junior” in the charter dated 1234) or Berthold [III] (“junior” in the charter dated 22 Jul 1251.] “Bertholdus senior et Bertholdus junior nobiles de Beuren filii fratrum Bertholdi et Thetmari nobili de Beuren” donated property to Marsberg church by charter dated 22 Jul 1251[2220]. “B. senior et B. iunior domini de Buren” sold property to Kloster Oelinghausen by charter dated 31 May 1256[2221]. “Bertoldus senior nobilis de Buren, Bertoldus filius eius” and “Bertoldus iuvenis patruelis ipsorum nobilis et filius eius Bertoldus” donated “decimam...in Holthusen” to Kloster Holthausen by charter dated 1 Aug 1265[2222]. “Dominus Bertoldus senior, Bertoldus patruelis eiusdem, filii eorundem eiusdem nominis, nobiles domini in Buren...” witnessed the charter dated 2 Aug 1268 under which Hermann Abbot of Helmarshausen donated property to Kloster Holthausen[2223]. m --- (-after 1243). “Nobiles de Buren Bertoldus et Bertoldus...filii duorum fratrum” founded Kloster Holthausen near Büren, with the support of “uxorum suarum et heredum” by charter dated 1243[2224].

The following person was either Berthold [II] or Berthold [III] who are named above, but the document in which he is named includes no indication of his precise identity. It follows that Berthold [VI] was the same person as either Berthold [IV] or Berthold [V].

1. BERTHOLD von Büren (-after 1269). “Bertoldus vir nobilis de Buren” mortgaged property, with the consent of “domine Alheydis uxoris nostre et Bertoldi nepotis nostri, Bertoldi filii nostre et Gisle filie nostre”, by charter dated 1252[2228]. m ADELHEID, daughter of ---. “Bertoldus vir nobilis de Buren” mortgaged property, with the consent of “domine Alheydis uxoris nostre et Bertoldi nepotis nostri, Bertoldi filii nostre et Gisle filie nostre”, by charter dated 1252[2229]. Her possible relatiionship with the Rietberg/Arnsberg family is indicated by the charter dated 14 Apr 1295 under which Otto Bishop of Paderborn confirmed that “Henricus de Homborgk avunculus noster videlicet b. m. Gislæ sororis nostræ defunctæ quondam filius...et Bodo frater eius” had confirmed a donation made by “Johannes de Homborgk pater ipsius et noster sororius” to Kloster Amelungsborn, witnessed by [her grandson, son of her daughter Gisela] “comes Otto de Buren noster consanguineus...”[2230]. Berthold & his wife had two children:

a) BERTHOLD [VI] von Büren (-after 1284). “Bertoldus vir nobilis de Buren” mortgaged property, with the consent of “domine Alheydis uxoris nostre et Bertoldi nepotis nostri, Bertoldi filii nostre et Gisle filie nostre”, by charter dated 1252[2231].

- see below.

b) GISELA von Büren (-after 1308). “Bertoldus vir nobilis de Buren” mortgaged property, with the consent of “domine Alheydis uxoris nostre et Bertoldi nepotis nostri, Bertoldi filii nostre et Gisle filie nostre”, by charter dated 1252[2232]. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not been identified. It is indicated by the charter dated 1264 under which [her brother] “Bertoldus iuvenis dominus in Buren” confirmed an exchange of property with the archbishop of Köln made by “pater noster B. senior dominus de Buren ac Bertoldus iuvenis consanguineus noster nobilis”, witnessed by “...Albertus sororius noster de Eversten”[2233]. m ALBRECHT von Everstein, son of OTTO [I] Graf von Everstein & his wife Ermgard von Arnstein (-[1274/75]).

As noted above, Berthold [VI] was the same person as either Berthold [IV] or Berthold [V]. The charter dated 1264 quoted below clarifies that the father of Berthold [VI] was “Bertholdus senior”. However, as noted above, the identification of this person as either Berthold [II] or Berthold [III] is confused because two different charters appear each to refer to both of them at different times as “Bertholdus junior”.

BERTHOLD [VI] von Büren, son of BERTHOLD von Büren & his wife (-after 1284). “Bertoldus senior dominus de Buren et Bertoldus filius noster necnon Bertoldus nobilis de Buren patruelis noster” exchanged property with the archbishop of Köln by charter dated 4 Apr 1264[2234]. “Bertoldus iuvenis dominus in Buren” confirmed an exchange of property with the archbishop of Köln made by “pater noster B. senior dominus de Buren ac Bertoldus iuvenis consanguineus noster nobilis”, with the consent of “uxoris nostre Ermengardis et Burgardi filii nostri”, by charter dated 1264, witnessed by “dominus B. pater noster prepositus sancte Walburgis...Albertus sororius noster de Eversten”[2235]. “Nobiles domini de Buren Bertoldus et Bertoldus seniores cum filiis nostris domino Bertoldo et Bertoldo” settled a dispute with “opidanos nostros de Buren” by charter dated Nov 1268[2236]. “Bertoldus vir nobilis dominus in Buren...et filius noster Bertoldus” sold their rights “in advocacia...in Sirikessen” to Kloster Hardehausen, with the consent of “uxoris sue Yrmegardis et...filii sui Burchardi et filiarum Agnetis, Luithgardis, Irmegardis et Alheydis”, by charter dated 23 Apr 1271[2237]. “Bertoldus nobilis dominus filius domini Bertoldi de Buren” confirmed that “Borchardus gener noster domicellus de Hyndenborch” had sold “omnia bona sua in Syrexen et Snevelde...ratione dotis Agnetis uxoris sue filie nostre” to Kloster Hardehausen, with the consent of “Ermegardis uxoris nostre, Bertoldi filii nostri et Agnetis predicte”, by charter dated 1281 which quotes the donation made by “Borchardus et Agnes uxor sua cum filia Alheide sine qua nondum alios genuerat liberos”[2238].

The county of Calvelage was located in the area of Vechta, in the present-day German state of Nieder-Sachsen. The counts of Calvelage, who held property in Vechta and Bersenbrück, acquired areas in the Teutoburg forest north-west of Halle (in Westfalen) in [1100] where they built Ravensberg castle to which they moved their residence in [1140][2257].

1. HERMANN von Calvelage, son of --- (-after 1144). "Willelmus comes de Luzzelenburch, Hermanus comes de Caluerlage, Reinoldus comes, Conradus comes, Arnoldus comes, Gerlagus comes, Imeko comes, Gerhardus comes de Heinnersberch, Hermannus comes de Salmena et filius eius, Friderikus comes de Sarebrugge…" witnessed the charter dated 27 Dec 1127 under which Lothar King of Germany granted property in Dreiech to "ministeriali Cuonrado de Hagen…[et] uxori suæ Liuckardi"[2258]. Lothar King of Germany donated property to Köln St Cunibert by charter dated 10 Feb 1129 witnessed by "…Comites: Gerhardus de Gellere, Arnoldus de Thonoburg, Gerhardus de Iulicho, Herimannus de Caluala, Henricus de Kessile, Adolphus de Berge, Adolphus de Saphinberg, Liberi: Gerhardus de Hostadin, Gerhardus de Heimesberg, Ludowicus de Quinheim, Gerhardus de Mulinarco, Gerhardus de Randirode…"[2259]. Lothar King of Germany confirmed property of Duisburg by charter dated 8 May 1129 witnessed by "…Comites: Gerhardus Longus de Gelere, Arnoldus de Cliue, Hermannus de Caluerlage, Hermannus de Salmene, Otto de Rinecke, Florentius de Hollande, Gerhardus de Hostad, Bernhardus de Hildenesheim, Godefridus et Hermannus de Cuch, Adolfus de Berge…"[2260]. Graf im Westmünsterland. m [firstly] (after 1070) as her second husband, ETHELINDE von Northeim, divorced wife of WELF [IV] I Duke of Bavaria, daughter of OTTO I Graf von Northeim Duke of Bavaria & his wife Richenza of Swabia [Ezzonen]. The Annalista Saxo names "Heinricum Crassum comitem…Sifridum de Boumeneburh et Cononem comitem de Bichlinge et tres filias, ex quibus unam nomine Ethilindam accept Welpho dux Bawarie et postquam eam repudiavit duxit eam Herimannus comes de Calverla" as children of Otto von Northeim & his wife[2261]. The Annales Stadenses refer to the four daughters of Otto, specifying that "tertia fuit uxor Hermanni de Calvela, que genuit Ottonem et Heinricum comites de Ravenesberch" without naming her[2262]. Her first husband repudiated her immediately after the disgrace of her father whom Heinrich IV King of Germany deprived of the dukedom of Bavaria[2263]. [m secondly ---. No record has been found of a second marriage of Hermann Graf von Calvelage. However, it looks highly probable. The chronology associated with Ethelinde von Northeim being the mother of the children of Graf Hermann is stretched. Ethelinde must have been born in [1055/58] at the latest, assuming that she was as young as 12 at the time of her first marriage. The date of her second marriage is not known, but it would presumably not have taken place after she was aged 30/35 at the latest. This would place the births of any children by her second marriage during the 1080s, and certainly not later than [1095/1100]. If this is correct, the three children shown below would have been in their eighties or nineties when they died in 1170, 1185 and after 1166 respectively. Assuming that these death dates are accurate, it is more probable that they were born in the period [1100/1120]. This is also more consistent with the likely birth date of Hermann Graf von Ravensberg, son of Hermann's older son Otto [I].] Graf Hermann & his [second] wife had three children:

a) OTTO [I] von Calvelage (-1170). The Annales Stadenses names "Ottonem et Heinricum comites de Ravenesberch" as sons of "Hermanni de Calvela" & his wife[2264]. Graf von Ravensberg.

- GRAFEN von RAVENSBERG.

b) HEINRICH von Calvelage (-1185). The Annales Stadenses names "Ottonem et Heinricum comites de Ravenesberch" as sons of "Hermanni de Calvela" & his wife[2265]. Graf von Ravensberg. "Comes Otto et Heinricus frater eius de Ravenesberge…" witnessed the charter dated 3 Feb 1162 under which Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony confirmed a sale of property by Kloster Bursfeld[2266]. Reinald Archbishop of Köln confirmed a donation made by "Otto comes de Ravensberg et Uda comitissa cum filio suo Hermanno et comes Henricus frater Ottonis", with the consent of "sorore ipsorum Hadwige comitissa de Dale cum filio suo Henrico", by charter dated 1166[2267].

c) HEDWIG von Calvelage (-1166 or after). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. Heiress of Dale. The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Balduinum primum et Gerardum secundum" as sons of "Balduinus comes Hanoniensis" & his wife, in a later passage specifying that he received "ex parte matris suo Yolandis…comitatum de Dodewerde et comitatum de Dala"[2268]. Reinald Archbishop of Köln confirmed a donation made by "Otto comes de Ravensberg et Uda comitissa cum filio suo Hermanno et comes Henricus frater Ottonis", with the consent of "sorore ipsorum Hadwige comitissa de Dale cum filio suo Henrico", by charter dated 1166[2269]. m GERARD de Hainaut, son of BAUDOUIN III Comte de Hainaut & his wife Yolande van Geldern (-1166).

G. GRAFEN von CAPPENBERG

Cappenberg castle was located about 5 kilometres south of Lüdinghausen. north of Dortmund in the present-day German state of Nordrhein-Westfalen.

GODEFROI, son of [HERMANN van Eenham Comte de Verdun & his [first] wife Mathilde ---] . The Chronicon Hugonis names "Gregorium et Godefridum" the two sons of "Herimannus qui et Hezelo & Mathildem"[2270].

same person as…? GOTTFRIED . Europäische Stammtafeln suggests that Graf Gottfried was the same person as the son of Hermann Comte de Verdun[2271] (see the document LOWER LOTHARINGIA NOBILITY) but the basis for this speculation is not known. Graf im Westfalen. Graf von Cappenberg.

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

Graf Gottfried & his wife had one child:

1. HERMANN von Cappenberg (-[1082/91]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis specifies that Gottfried Graf von Cappenberg "avum habuit Hermannum comitem"[2272]. Graf von Cappenberg. m GERBERGA von Huneburg, daughter of [GOTTFRIED von Huneburg Vogt von Neuweiler & his wife ---]. The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis names "Hermannum comitem [et] coniuge eius Gerberge de Huneburg"[2273]. Graf Hermann & his wife had three children:

a) two sons (-murdered [1082/85]). The primary source which confirms their parentage has not yet been identified.

b) GOTTFRIED [I] von Cappenberg (-killed in battle 1106). His parentage can be reconstructed from the Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis which specifies that the father of Gottfried [II] Graf von Cappenberg was "Godefridus" and that "avum habuit Hermannum comitem"[2274]. Graf von Cappenberg. Otto Abbot of Werden confirmed that the abbey had acquired “curtim Hintisle contra domnum Liupponem nobilem virum” by charter dated 1092, witnessed by "De nobilibus comes Thiedericus de Cleue, comes Godefridus de Cappenberge et Wigboldus et Bernhardus homines eius..."[2275]. Vogt von Werden. m as her first husband, BEATRIX von Hildrizhausen, daughter of HEINRICH Graf von Hildrizhausen & his wife Beatrix von Schweinfurt (-[1115/22]). The Annalista Saxo refers to the unnamed daughter of Beatrix von Schweinfurt and her husband as the wife of "Godefridus de Cappenberch", and mother of "duos filios Gotefridum et Ottonem"[2276]. The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis names "pater eius Godefridus, mater Beatrix" as parents of Gottfried Graf von Cappenberg[2277]. The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis names "Heinricum comitem de Ryetbeke" as second husband of Beatrix after the death of "Godefrido"[2278]. She married secondly Heinrich Graf von Rietberg. Graf Gottfried [I] & his wife had five children:

i) [ADELHEID . Adelheid is shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[2279] as the daughter of Gottfried [I] Graf von Cappenberg and his wife Beatrix von Hildrizhausen. However, another table[2280] shows Adelheid as the daughter of Beatrix by her second husband Heinrich Graf von Rietberg. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not yet been identified. It is not therefore possible at this moment to judge which version is more likely to be correct. The answer may lie in the transmisison of the advocatiam of Werden abbey, previously held by Gottfried Graf von Cappenberg and which the following charter was transmitted to Adolf [II] Graf von Berg: Lüdbert Abbot of Werden and "domnum Thuringum" confirmed “precarii nostri in Dale” to Werden by charter dated 1115, witnessed by “Adolfus advocatus noster...Euerhardus frater eius, Bernherus comes...”[2281]. It appears probable therefore that Adelheid was the daughter of Graf Gottfried [I] and that the advocatiam of Werden was her dowry. If that is correct, Adelheid presumably married before the date of this charter. It should be noted that Adolf was recorded as Vogt of Werden in 1093 when he was still a boy (see the document LOWER RHINE NOBILITY), which suggests that arrnagements for the marriage were made when the parties were children. m ([before 1115]) as his first wife, ADOLF [II] Graf von Berg, son of ADOLF [I] Graf von Berg & his wife Adelheid von Laufen (-12 Oct after 1160, bur Altenberg).]

ii) GOTTFRIED von Cappenberg (-27 Jan 1127). The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis names "pater eius Godefridus, mater Beatrix" as parents of Gottfried Graf von Cappenberg, specifying also "avum habuit Hermannum comitem"[2282]. Graf von Cappenburg. A charter dated 1125 confirms that "comites Godefridus et Otto fratres" donated property to the church of Cappenburg, witnessed by "Adolphus comes de Altena…"[2283]. A charter dated 27 Feb 1126 confirms donations to the church of Cappenburg made by "comes Godefridus et frater eius atque coheres Otto"[2284]. m [as her first husband,] IDA [Jutta] von Arnsberg, daughter of FRIEDRICH Graf von Arnsberg [Werl] & his wife Adelheid van Limburg. The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis refers to "Friderici comitis filiam" as the wife of Gottfried Graf von Cappenburg[2285]. The Annales Stadenses specifies that "unam filiam [Frederici comitis de Arnesberch]", without naming her, was wife of "Godefridus de Cuc, pater comitem Heinrici et Frederici de Arnesburch" while "secundam filiam [Frederici comitis de Arnesberch]", without naming her either, was wife of "Otto de Cappenburch, cuius filia Eilica uxor Eilmari"[2286]. Europäische Stammtafeln[2287] conflates these two possible daughters into one, married twice. No source has been identified which confirms that this is correct, although the death of Gottfried Graf von Cappenberg shortly before the marriage to Gottfried van Kuyc suggests that it is a possibility. This is the solution which is shown here. The Annales Stadenses contain many inaccuracies and it is preferable not to rely exclusively on this source in the absence of independent corroboration. This unreliability is illustrated by the reference to "Otto de Capenburch", which must be an error for Gottfried, and by the suggestion that the couple were parents of Eilika, later Gräfin von Oldenburg. The latter point contradicts the Vita Godefridi comitis Cappenbergensis which names Heinrich Graf von Rietberg (see below) as Eilika's father, which is a more acceptable possibility from a chronological point of view. Heiress of Arnsberg. [She married secondly (1129) Gottfried von Malsen gt van Kuyc, who was Graf von Arnsberg from [1130].]

iii) OTTO von Cappenberg (-26 Nov 1171). The Annalista Saxo refers to the unnamed daughter of Beatrix von Schweinfurt and her husband as the wife of "Godefridus de Cappenberch", and mother of "duos filios Gotefridum et Ottonem"[2288]. Graf von Cappenberg. A charter dated 1125 confirms that "comites Godefridus et Otto fratres" donated property to the church of Cappenburg, witnessed by "Adolphus comes de Altena…"[2289]. A charter dated 27 Feb 1126 confirms donations to the church of Cappenburg made by "comes Godefridus et frater eius atque coheres Otto"[2290]. He and his brother transformed Cappenberg castle into a religious institution and Otto resigned his county and became a monk: "Otto comes quondam in castro Cappenberg et postea…in eodem loco…frater" confirmed the transformation of "castrum Cappenberg in domum religionis" by himself and "frater meus pie recordationis…dominus Godefridus" by undated charter[2291]. “Otto quondam comes in Capenberg et postea prepositus eiusdem loci...” witnessed the charter dated 1170 under which Philipp Archbishop of Köln confirmed an agreement between Kloster Cappenberg and the canons of Xanten[2292].

iv) BEATRIX von Cappenberg (-29 Jul ----, bur Cappenberg, St Maria Magdalena). The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis names "Beatricem, quæ conversa est in Capenberg et sepulta cum Eilica comitissa de Aldenburch ad sancatæ Mariam Magdalenam, et Gerbergim quam clam abduxit domnus Bernherus de Erperode" as sisters of "comites Godefridus et Otto"[2293]. Nun at Cappenberg. She founded Ilberstadt.

v) GERBERGA von Cappenberg . The Vita Godefridi comitis Capenbergensis names "Beatricem, quæ conversa est in Capenberg et sepulta cum Eilica comitissa de Aldenburch ad sancatæ Mariam Magdalenam, et Gerbergim quam clam abduxit domnus Bernherus de Erperode" as sisters of "comites Godefridus et Otto"[2294]. m BERNHER von Erprath, son of ---.

GERARD de Hainaut, son of BAUDOUIN III Comte de Hainaut & his wife Yolande van Gelre (-1166). The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Balduinum primum et Gerardum secundum" as sons of "Balduinus comes Hanoniensis" & his wife, in a later passage specifying that he received "ex parte matris suo Yolandis…comitatum de Dodewerde et comitatum de Dala"[2295].

I. HERREN von GEMEN

The castle of Gemen lies to the north of the town of Borken, 40 kilometres due west of Münster in the present-day German state of Nordrhein-Westfalen, close to the Dutch border. The Herren von Gemen until the end-13th century were studied in the mid-19th century by Landsberg-Velen[2315]. The numerous primary sources which he cites do not support the reconstruction of the earlier generations of the family shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[2316], which must be considered speculative. In addition, Europäische Stammtafeln conflates the two individuals shown below as Gottfried [II] and Gottfried [III], thereby omitting one generation from its reconstruction.

1. BERNHARD von Gemen . "...Bernhardus de Chemene, Ricbertus de Lon" witnessed the undated charter under which Burghard Bishop of Münster acknowledged owing "decimas suas" to “Gerhardo de Graz”[2317].

[Three] brothers:

1. DIETRICH von Gemen (-after 1151). "...Theodericus et frater eius Werenboldus..." witnessed the charter dated 1131 under which Ekbert Bishop of Münster confirmed Kloster Lisbarn[2318]. “Laici...nobiles Lishardus de Ahus, Theodericus de Gemene et frater eius Werenboldus, Gozwinus, Rodulphus” witnessed the charter of Werner Bishop of Münster dated 1134[2319]. "...Theoderico de Gemene..." witnessed the charter dated 1151 under which Werner Bishop of Münster confirmed property of Kloster Ueberwasser[2320]. "...Theoderico de Gemene..." witnessed the charter dated 1151 under which Werner Bishop of Münster confirmed property of Asbeck church[2321]. "Nobiles: Theodericus de Gemene, Gozwinus de Gemene..." witnessed the undated charter (dated to before 1 Dec 1151) under which Werner Bishop of Münster confirmed donations to Kloster Asbeck[2322].

2. WERENBOLD von Gemen (-after 1142). "...Theodericus et frater eius Werenboldus..." witnessed the charter dated 1131 under which Ekbert Bishop of Münster confirmed Kloster Lisbarn[2323]. “Laici...nobiles Lishardus de Ahus, Theodericus de Gemene et frater eius Werenboldus, Gozwinus, Rodulphus” witnessed the charter of Werner Bishop of Münster dated 1134[2324]. "Werelboldus et Borwinus de Gemene..." witnessed the charter dated 1142 under which Werner Bishop of Münster donated property in "villa...Bokholte" to Münster St. Moritz[2325].

3. [GOSWIN [I] von Gemen (-after 1151). "Werelboldus et Borwinus de Gemene..." witnessed the charter dated 1142 under which Werner Bishop of Münster donated property in "villa...Bokholte" to Münster St. Moritz[2326]. Bearing in mind the frequency of use of the name “Goswin” in the Gemen family, it is likely that “Borwinus” in this document represents a mistranscription for “Goswinus”. Goswin was probably either the younger brother of Werenbold or his cousin. "Nobiles: Theodericus de Gemene, Gozwinus de Gemene..." witnessed the undated charter (dated to before 1 Dec 1151) under which Werner Bishop of Münster confirmed donations to Kloster Asbeck[2327].]

1. --- von Gemen . The name of Lambert’s father is not known. m --- von Hallermund, daughter of ---. Her family origin and marriage are indicated by the narrative of the foundation of Loccum which names “dominus Lambertus de Gemen, filius sororis comitis Willebrandi antiqui”[2328]. One child:

a) LAMBERT von Gemen (-bur Loccum). A narrative of the foundation of Loccum names “dominus Lambertus de Gemen, filius sororis comitis Willebrandi antiqui” and adds that he was buried at Loccum[2329].

Two brothers:

1. GOTTFRIED [I] von Gemen (-after [1201/03]). "Nobiles: ...Godefridus et Israel de Gemene..." witnessed the charter dated 1180 under which Hermann Bishop of Münster confirmed donations made by "nobilis matrona Gerbergis...et fratris sui Amelongi"[2330]. Hermann Bishop of Münster confirmed that "nobilis Godefridus de Gemene" held "Alstede...decimam a nobis in feudo" by charter dated 1185[2331]. Hermann Bishop of Münster confirmed that "fidelis noster Godefridus de Gemene" held "decime de Alstede" and had donated part to Cappenberg by charter dated 1187[2332]. "Godefridus et Israhel de Gemene..." witnessed the charter dated 1197 under which Hermann Bishop of Münster confirmed the relinquishment of "advocatia...super villam Cosfelth"[2333]. “Godefridus de Gemene et frater eius Gozwinus...Israhel de Gemene...” witnessed the charter dated to [1201/03] under which Hermann Bishop of Münster confirmed the foundation of a chapel at Borken[2334].

2. GOSWIN [II] von Gemen (-after [1201/03]). “Godefridus de Gemene et frater eius Gozwinus...Israhel de Gemene...” witnessed the charter dated to [1201/03] under which Hermann Bishop of Münster confirmed the foundation of a chapel at Borken[2335].

The relationship between the following person and the preceding family has not been traced. The charter dated to [1201/03] shows that he was not the brother of Gottfried [I] von Gemen. He may have been a cousin.

1. ISRAEL von Gemen (-after [1201/03]). "Nobiles: ...Godefridus et Israel de Gemene..." witnessed the charter dated 1180 under which Hermann Bishop of Münster confirmed donations made by "nobilis matrona Gerbergis...et fratris sui Amelongi"[2336]. "Godefridus et Israhel de Gemene..." witnessed the charter dated 1197 under which Hermann Bishop of Münster confirmed the relinquishment of "advocatia...super villam Cosfelth"[2337]. “Godefridus de Gemene et frater eius Gozwinus...Israhel de Gemene...” witnessed the charter dated to [1201/03] under which Hermann Bishop of Münster confirmed the foundation of a chapel at Borken[2338].

The parentage of Heinrich von Gemen has not been ascertained.

1. HEINRICH von Gemen (-after 1234). “...Heinricus de Gemenic” was recorded as present in the charter dated to 1206 when Otto Bishop of Münster was reconciled with “dominus Ludolfus de Stenvorde”[2339]. “...Heinricus de Gemeneg” witnessed the charter dated 5 Apr 1221 under which Dietrich Bishop of Münster settled a dispute between Kloster Asbeck and “Bermardum...”[2340]. “...Hinricus de Gemene” witnessed the charter dated 1234 under which “Johannes miles de Billerbeke” renounced property in favour of Münster St. Ægidius[2341].

Four brothers, their father has not been identified. Their names suggest that they were grandsons of one of the brothers Gottfried [I] or Goswin [II] who are named above. From a chronological point of view, they could have been sons of Heinrich von Gemen, although if that is correct it is surprising that the name Heinrich does not feature in the family.

The relationship between Irmgard von Holte and the main Holte family has not been ascertained.

Levoldus’s mid-14th century Chronica Comitum de Marka records that Otto Graf von Altena married “viduam domini Rodolphi de Menhovele militis, Ermengardem nomine de Holte” but died childless[2486]. m firstly RUDOLF von Meinhövel, son of ---. m secondly (after 1249) OTTO Graf von Altena, son of ADOLF Graf von der Mark [Altena] & his [second] wife Irmgard van Gelre (-14 Aug 1262).

The basis on which Adolf, son of Arnold Graf von Altena, inherited an interest in Holte has not been ascertained. As noted below, one possibility is that his first wife was heiress of part of Holte which she transmitted to her daughter Mathilde. If that is correct, she was presumably related to the main Holte family which is set out above. Another possibility is that Adolf’s mother Mechtild was related to the Holte family, although in that case the chronology suggests that the connection would have been with one of the unlinked family members in the later 12th century who are listed at the start of the previous section.

ADOLF von Holte, son of ARNOLD Graf von Altena und Hövel & his wife Mechtild --- (-[5 Nov 1261/16 Jun 1266]).

m firstly ---. The name of Adolf’s first wife is not known. This first marriage is indicated by the chronology of the marriage of Adolf’s daughter Mathilde, which suggests that she was older than his sons by his wife Elisabeth, the older of whom is only named in charters dated from 1261. It is possible that she was heiress of Holte, which was transmitted to her husband on their marriage. This suggestion is supported by Mathilde being named “domina de Holtha” in the charter dated Jan 1269 quoted below, when Adolf’s son Heinrich by his second marriage was alive as shown below.

[Emperor Ludwig IV Duke of Bavaria agreed with "Wilhelmo comiti Juliacensi affini suo" that "Wilhelmo secundo genito tuo, necnon Margarete conthorali sue" should succeed "Adolfus comes Montensis" if he died childless, by charter dated 16 Aug 1336[2635]. The age of Wilhelm at the time suggests that "conthorali sue" in this document should be interpreted as indicating a betrothal not marriage. No indication has yet been found of the family origin of Wilhelm´s betrothed, but presumably she must have been closely related to Adolf Duke of Berg, otherwise there would have been no apparent need to name her in her own capacity as one of the duke´s heirs. It is highly probable that she was Margareta von Ravensberg who, after the death of her older sister in 1336, was the next heir by primogeniture to the county of Berg after her maternal uncle Adolf [VI] Graf von Berg. This hypothesis was first proposed by Bert M. Kamp who, in an article in 2003, traced the development of the succession plans for the counties of Berg and Ravensberg between 1328 and 1346[2636].] Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a charter dated 1 Oct 1346 under which "Gerhard ältester Sohn des Markgrafen Wilhelm von Jülich, uund seine Frau Margareta, Tochter und Erbin des Grafen Otto von Ravensberg" made certain promises[2637]. [Betrothed (before 16 Aug 1336) to WILHELM von Jülich, son of WILHELM I Duke of Jülich & his wife Johanna of Holland (1333-13 Dec 1393).
