Otto I King of Germany created the "eastern March" or Ostmark to protect the eastern territories of Saxony from attack by the emerging city states of Pomerania to the north-east and the Polanian state of the Piast dynasty to the east. Gero, appointed Markgraf in 939, controlled the southern part of the new March area and was more aggressive in his territorial expansions than Hermann "Billung" (see SAXONY) who controlled the northern part[1]. The origins of Gero are uncertain. His older brother Siegfried is recorded as count in territories around Gröningen, between Halberstadt and Magdeburg, to the east of Brunswick in 934. It is not known whether the family was native to this area, but their names are typical of Saxon origin. In the mid-10th century, Gero and his family are recorded as counts over a wide area of northern Thuringia, charters recording numerous grants of land under their control to the newly founded church of Magdeburg.
Towards the end of the 10th century, the Ostmark may have been further divided, between the "March of Meissen" and the "March of Lausitz" (located to the north of Meissen), although a continuous line of Markgrafen in the latter March can only be traced from 1046 (see Chapter 6.B). However, no mention of these territorial epithets has been found in contemporary primary sources which name the successive individuals who held the title "Markgraf". During the second half of the 10th century, it is unclear whether each Markgraf was appointed within the area with exclusive jurisdiction in a defined part of the territory or whether the title was an honorific granted to local nobles who used it in the area of their existing counties. A loose network of overlapping March jurisdictions is suggested by the fact that several different individuals are recorded with the title Markgraf at the same time. For example, Gero (who died in 965) and Christian are both recorded with the title during the mid-10th century. After Gero died, four individuals are all recorded with the title at various times between the late 960s and the early 990s: Thietmar [III] (son of Markgraf Christian), Hodo (maybe Markgraf Christian's brother), Ricdag (apparently unrelated to the families of Gero and Christian), and Günther (possibly son of Graf Ekkehard). All these individuals continue to be referred to as count of their named counties or within named pagi. The first record of an apparent succession of the title Markgraf is found in the Annalista Saxo which states that Ekkehard, son of Günther, succeeded Ricdag as Markgraf in 985, although without any territorial attribution[2].
After the death in 1046 of Markgraf Ekkehard II, last known descendant in the male line of Markgraf Günther, the title was granted successively to members of the families of the Grafen von Weimar (see Chapter 3) and the Grafen von Braunschweig (see Chapter 4). Markgraf Ekbert II was deposed as Markgraf in [1085/86] and his properties confiscated by Emperor Heinrich IV, who installed Heinrich of the family of the Grafen von Wettin as Markgraf. A jurisdictional dispute over the eastern Marches between Emperor Heinrich V and Lothar von Süpplingenburg Duke of Saxony (later Emperor Lothar) came to a head in 1123 on the death of the Wettin Markgraf Heinrich II. The emperor appointed Wiprecht [II] Graf von Groitzsch as Markgraf in both Meissen and Lausitz (see Chapter 5), while the Saxon duke appointed Albrecht "der Bär" Graf von Ballenstedt as Markgraf in Lausitz and Konrad Graf von Wettin in Meissen. The death of Graf Wiprecht (in 1124) and Emperor Heinrich (in 1125) resolved the matter in favour of the Wettin family, who continued to rule as Markgrafen in Meissen in an unbroken line until 1428, by which time the head of the family had been installed as Elector of Saxony (see Chapter 6).
Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa" created the duchy of Silesia in 1163 and the duchy of Pomerania in 1181, both within imperial territory. This stabilisation of the empire's eastern borders reduced the need for "March" jurisdictions to defend borderland areas. Meissen and, to the north, Brandenburg, evolved as stable principalities firmly within the empire, although the rulers of both territories continued to hold the title "Markgraf".
THIETMAR [I], son of --- (-1 Jun 932). Markgraf. Tutor of the future Heinrich I King of Germany[3]. The necrology of Fulda records the death in 932 of "Thiommar com"[4].
m ---, daughter of ---. Widukind records the mother of the first wife of Heinrich I King of Germany as matertera of "Sigifridi", son of Thietmar[5]. Jackman suggests that she was named Judith, quoting the Memorial book lists of Reichenau (two) and St Gallen (one) all of which name (in order) "…Gero, Iudita…", on the assumption that this refers to Gero's mother rather than his wife, although the latter would be more normal in such lists[6]. He also proposes a Konradiner origin, based it would seem only on onomastics, suggesting that she was the daughter of Konrad Graf in der Wetterau & his wife Glismut.
Graf Thietmar & his wife had three children:
1. SIEGFRIED (-[3 Dec 936/941]). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. "Heinricus…rex" granted land "in pago Sueuia…in comitatu Sigifridi…Groninga et Croppensteti et Emmundorp" to "Sigifrido…comiti nostro" by charter dated 25 Jun 934 at the request of "Heinrici…comitis nostri"[7]. He was appointed Procurator in Saxony by Otto I King of Germany in 936. The Annalista Saxo records that "huius frater [Gero marchionis] Sigefridus" donated part of his property to construct Kloster Gröningen ["Gronigge"] an Bode[8]. m firstly IRMINBURG, daughter of OTTO "der Erlauchte" Graf in Eichsfeld [Liudolfinger] & his wife Hedwig [Hathui] [Babenberg] (-before 936). Europäische Stammtafeln[9] names Irminburg as daughter of Otto & his wife, and records her marriage, but the primary source which confirms this has not so far been identified. m secondly GUTHIA, daughter of --- . 936. Jackman quotes a Memorial book list of Reichenau which names (in order) "…Sigefrid, Guhtiu…"[10]. After her husband's death, the monastery "in loco qui dicitur Gronigge" was founded and she was appointed abbess[11].
2. GERO [I] ([905/15][12]-18 or 20 May 965, bur Gernrode Stiftskirche). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Graf im Nordthüringgau 937. "Otto…rex" granted property "in pago Nordthuringia in comitatu Thietmari in Magedeburg…in comitatu Geronis in Bigera…in comitatu Crhistiani in Grimhereslebu" for the foundation of Magdeburg by charter dated 21 Sep 937[13]. Markgraf 939. Graf im Schwabengau and Markgraf [der sächsischen Ostmark] 941. "Otto…rex" granted property "trans Salam fluvium in comitatu Thietmari…in pago lingua Sclavorum Zitice…villæ Tribunice" to "noster…marchio Gero" by charter dated 4 May 945[14]. Graf der Magdenburger Mark 946: "Otto…rex" donated property "in pago Nordthuringa in comitatu Geronis" to the Moritzkirche Magdeburg by charter dated 29 Jul 946[15]. Dux et marchio 946: "Otto…rex" founded the bishopric of Havelberg "in castro Havelberg in marchio illius…in provincia Nieletitzi" at the request of "Geronis…ducis et marchionis nostri" by charter dated 9 May 946[16]. "Otto…rex" granted property "in pago Suaua in comitatu prædicti marchionis" to Kloster Frohser at the request of "fratris nostri Brunonis…marchionis nostri Geronis" by charter dated 6 Dec 950[17]. "Otto…rex" confirmed a grant of property "in pago Serimunt in comitatu Thietmari comitis" to "marchionis Gero" by "filio nostro Liudolfo" by charter dated 28 Jul 951[18]. "Otto…rex" granted property "Hebesheim in pago Derlingum in comitatu Brunonis" to Moritzkirche, Magdeburg by undated charter, but dated to [951/57] as it names "coniugis nostræ Aelheidis…filii nostri Liudolfi", in the presence of "eiusdem Brunonis comitis filiique Liudolfi, Geronis marchionis, Cristiani comitis nec non Liutharii et Friderici comitum" [19]. Gero obliged Mieszko I Prince of Poland to pay tribute to Emperor Otto I in 963[20]. He founded Kloster Frose. Thietmar records that, after the death of his son Siegfried, Gero made a pilgrimage to Rome, "commended himself and all his property to God", and founded a convent "in a forest bearing his name"[21], the foundation of Kloster Gernrode being confirmed by diplomas of Emperors Otto I and Otto II in 961[22]. "Otto…rex" confirmed the foundation of Kloster Gernrode by "Gero marchio" for the souls of "filiique nostri…Sigifredo Geroneque" by charter dated 17 Jul 961[23]. The death of "Gero marchionum" is recorded in the Annalista Saxo[24]. The necrology of Fulda records the death "965 XIV Kal Iun" of "Gero com"[25]. Thietmar records the death of Gero on 20 May[26]. m ---. The name of Gero's wife is not known. Jackman quotes the Memorial book lists of Reichenau (two) and St Gallen (one) all of which name (in order) "…Gero, Iudita…". He suggests that this refers to Gero's mother and that Gero's wife was "Thietsuuind" who is named subsequently (in different places) in all three lists[27]. Markgraf Gero & his wife had two children:
a) SIEGFRIED ([936/40]-25 Jun [959]). "Otto…rex" gave property "in comitatu patris eius in pago Sueuon…in villis Osteregulun et Uuesteregulun" to "marchionis nostri Geronis ceterorumque comitum nostri eiusdem Geronis filio, nostro autem spiritali filiolo, Sigifrido" by charter dated 7 Jun 941[28]. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that Otto I King of Germany became Siegfried's godfather after his accession in 936, and of course before the charter dated 941 in which the relationship is mentioned. Thietmar records the death of Siegfried "only son" of Gero[29]. The Annalista Saxo records "unici filii sui [Gero marchionum] Sigefridi" having "laid down his arms" at Rome, leaving his inheritance to found a monastery in his name, arranging his wife's appointment as abbess and dying "XIII Kal Iun"[30]. m ([952]) HEDWIG [Hathui], daughter of [Graf WICHMANN [I] [Billung] & his wife Frederuna ---] (939-9 Jul 1014, bur Quedlinburg Klosterkirche). Thietmar names "Hathui…niece of Queen Mathilde", records her marriage to "Siegfried son of Markgraf Gero" when aged 13, and that she became a nun after her husband's death[31]. There is no proof that she was the daughter of Wichmann [I] but the latter's wife is the most likely of the sisters of Queen Mathilde who could have been Hedwig's mother. It should also be noted that Thietmar records the death of "my cousin Mathilde" on 28 Apr 1014, noting that "she had long resided at Gernrode with Abbess Hathui to whom she was related by blood"[32]. If Hathui was the daughter of Wichmann [I], she would have been the first cousin of Mathilde's supposed father Duke Bernhard. The Chronicon Montis Serreni names "Hetwigam" as widow of "Gero filium unicum Sifridum"[33] but gives no indication about her origin. Abbess of Gernrode 959. Abbess of Vreden.
b) GERO (-16 Oct before 959). "Otto…rex" confirmed the foundation of Kloster Gernrode by "Gero marchio" for the souls of "filiique nostri…Sigifredo Geroneque" by charter dated 17 Jul 961[34].
3. HIDDA (-Jerusalem [945/75]). "Soror eorum [Gero marchiorum et Sigefridus] Hidda nominee" is named in the Annalista Saxo, which records her death in Jerusalem and that she was the mother of "Thietmarum marchionem et Geronem Coloniensem archiepiscopum"[35]. Thietmar also records the death in Jerusalem of "Gero's holy mother Hidda", undated but in a passage which records the subsequent invasion of Jerusalem by the Saracens implying that this occurred immediately after her burial[36]. She founded Kloster Nienburg with her sons Thietmar and Gero after her husband died[37]. m CHRISTIAN Graf im Nordthüringau und Schwabengau, Markgraf, son of --- (-after 945). The Chronicon Montis Serreni names "Cristiano marchione" as husband of "Hidda"[38].
It is not known how the following Graf Thietmar may have been related to the family set out above, if at all. However, his being named in the same documents with Counts Gero and Christian suggests a close connection. It is possible that he was another son of Graf Thietmar [I].
1. THIETMAR [II] (-959). "Otto…rex" granted property "monasterium…Vuinothahusun…in pago Harthagao in comitatu Thiadmari…[et] in pago Lainga in comitatu Liudgeri…quicquid hereditatis Adred mater Bardonis domino" to Kloster Quedlinburg by charter dated 13 Sep 936[39]. "Otto…rex" granted property "in pago Nordthuringia in comitatu Thietmari in Magedeburg…in comitatu Geronis in Bigera…in comitatu Crhistiani in Grimhereslebu" for the foundation of Magdeburg by charter dated 21 Sep 937[40]. "Otto…rex" granted property "in villa Turtlinge in comitatu predicti marchionis [Geronis] in pago Norththuringia" to "marchionis Geronis" in exchange for property "in villa Rodigeresrod in pago Suueuon in comitatu Thietmari comitis" by charter dated 29 Feb 944[41]. Jackman states that this Thietmar died in 959 but does not give his source[42].
HODO 965-993, THIETMAR [III] [970]-[979], GERO [II] 993-1015, THIETMAR [IV] 1015-1030, ODO 1030
CHRISTIAN, son of --- (-after 945, maybe 961). "Gysalbertus dux rectorque S. Traiectenses ecclesie" donated property "Gulisam…in pago [Ardunensi] in comitatu Everhardi" to Trier by charter dated 928, subscribed by "Walgeri comitis, Thiedrici comitis, Cristiani comitis, Folcoldi comitis"[43]. Markgraf. The Chronicon Montis Serreni names "Cristiano marchione" as husband of "Hidda"[44]. "Otto…rex" granted property "in pago Nordthuringia in comitatu Thietmari in Magedeburg…in comitatu Geronis in Bigera…in comitatu Crhistiani in Grimhereslebu" for the foundation of Magdeburg by charter dated 21 Sep 937, and other property "in pago Nordthuringa in comitatu Cristiani in Grimersleba" by charter dated 11 Oct 937[45]. Graf im Nordthüringau. "Otto…rex" granted property in "pago Seromunti in comitatu eiusdem Cristani" to "nostro marchioni…Cristan" by charter dated 1 May 945[46]. "Otto…rex" donated property "inter Sclavos prope fluvium Fona…in pago Serimuntilante in comitatu Cristani comitis" to "nostri fidelis vassalli Fridurici filiis, Folcmaro…et Richberto" by charter dated 11 Jun 945[47]. "Otto…rex" granted property "Hebesheim in pago Derlingum in comitatu Brunonis" to Moritzkirche, Magdeburg by undated charter, but dated to [951/57] as it names "coniugis nostræ Aelheidis…filii nostri Liudolfi", in the presence of "eiusdem Brunonis comitis filiique Liudolfi, Geronis marchionis, Cristiani comitis nec non Liutharii et Friderici comitum" [48]. Thietmar records that "Count Christian" was buried at Magdeburg[49]. Part of the same passage refers to 961 but it is not possible from the context to conclude that Christian certainly died in that year.
m HIDDA, daughter of Graf THIETMAR [I] & his wife --- (-Jerusalem [945/75]). "Soror eorum [Gero marchiorum et Sigefridus] Hidda nominee" is named in the Annalista Saxo, which records her death in Jerusalem and that she was the mother of "Thietmarum marchionem et Geronem Coloniensem archiepiscopum"[50]. Thietmar also records the death in Jerusalem of "Gero's holy mother Hidda", undated but in a passage which records the subsequent invasion of Jerusalem by the Saracens implying that this occurred immediately after her burial[51]. She founded Kloster Nienburg with her sons Thietmar and Gero after her husband died[52].
Markgraf Christian & his wife had [three] children:
1. THIETMAR [III] ([925/30]-3 Aug after 979, bur Kloster Nienburg an der Saale). The Annalista Saxo records "Thietmarum marchionem et Geronem Coloniensem archiepiscopum" as sons of "Soror eorum [Gero marchiorum et Sigefridus] Hidda nominee", and their joint construction of an abbey "in predio suo [Hidda] iuxta Salam fluvium"[53]. His birth date range is estimated from his first mention as count in 951. Graf im Gau Serimunt 951: "Otto…rex" confirmed the donation by his son Liudolf of property "in pago Serimunt in comitatu Thetmari comitis" on the intervention of "marchionis Geronis" to the church of Magdeburg by charter dated 28 Jul 951[54]. Graf im Schwabengau 951/978. "Otto…imperator augustus" granted property "in pago Derlingon in comitatu Thiatmari comitis" to Magdeburg St Moritz by undated charter, placed in the compilation with other charters dated mid-965[55]. "Otto…imperator augustus" gave property "in villa Drogobuli quæ Salam et Fonam fluvios interiacet in comitatu eiusdem comitis Thietmari" to "comiti nostro Thietmaro" by charter dated 29 Nov 965[56]. "Otto…imperator augustus" donated property "in pago Hardegouue et in comitatu Thiatmari" to Magdeburg St Moritz by charter dated 23 Sep 967[57]. Graf der Mark Merseburg und der Mark Meissen [Ostmark] 976. Markgraf. The death and place of burial of "Thietmarus marchio frater Geronis Coloniensis archiepiscopi" is recorded in the Annalista Saxo[58]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "3 Aug" of "Thietmarus marchio"[59]. m as her first husband, SCHWANEHILDE [Suanhild], daughter of HERMANN Billung Duke in Saxony & his [first/second] wife --- ([945/50]-26 Nov 1014, bur Kloster Jena, transferred 1028 to Naumburg Georgskirche). The Annalista Saxo records "filiam Herimanni ducis nominee Suanehildam" as wife of "Thietmarus marchio frater Geronis Coloniensis archiepiscopi", and in another passage that "domna Suanehildis" was daughter of "Herimanni ducis de Liuniburh", naming her five brothers and two husbands[60]. Her birth date range is estimated on the basis of her sister being born in [942] and Schwanehilde herself giving birth to seven children by her second husband. She married secondly Ekkehard I Markgraf von Meissen. Thietmar records the marriage of Ekkehard and "Swanhild widow of Count Thietmar and Duke Bernhard's sister"[61]. Thietmar records the death of Suanhild 26 Nov 1014[62]. Markgraf Thietmar [III] & his wife had one child:
a) GERO [II] ([970/75]-killed in battle Gau Diadesi 1 Sep 1015, bur Kloster Nienburg). "Geronem marchionem" is named in the Annalista Saxo, which also records his parentage[63]. A boy [puer] in 980, which provides the basis for estimating his birth date range. Graf im Hassegau 992. Markgraf [der Lausitz] 993. "…Gero comes…" was among the witnesses of the charter dated 1013 under which "Henricus…imperator augustus" renewed his 1007 judgment concerning a dispute between Willigis Archbishop of Mainz and Bernward Bishop of Hildesheim[64], although it is not certain that this is the same person as he is described as "comes" rather than "marchio". Thietmar records the death of "Markgraf Gero" in battle against the Poles, dated to 1015, and his burial at Nienburg[65]. m ADELHEID, daughter of ---. 1015. The Annalista Saxo names "Athelheidhe" as wife of "Thietmarus marchio", but does not give her origin[66]. Thietmar names Adelheid widow of Markgraf Gero at her husband's burial[67]. Markgraf Gero [II] & his wife had one child:
i) THIETMAR [IV] (-10 Jan 1030, bur Kloster Helmershausen). The Annalista Saxo names "Thietmarus marchio" as son of "Geronis marchionis ex Athelheidhe marchionissa", when recording his death and place of burial[68]. "Henricus…rex" donated property of "in comitatu Dietmari comitis et in pago Volcfelt" to the church of Bamberg by charter dated 6 May 1007[69]. Graf im Schwaben- und Nordthüringgau 1010. Markgraf [der Ostmark] 1015. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "10 Jan" of "Thiadmarus marchio"[70]. m ---. The name of Thietmar's wife is not known. Markgraf Thietmar [IV] & his wife had two children:
(a) ODO (-after 10 Jan 1030). The Annalista Saxo names "Odo marchio" as son of "Thietmarus marchio", specifying that he died without issue[71]. He succeeded his father in 1030 as Markgraf [der Ostmark].
(b) ODA (-before 1068). The Annalista Saxo names Oda as wife of "Willehelmus comes de Wimmare" and records her second marriage to "Dedoni marchioni", but does not give her origin[72]. The Genealogica Wettinensis names "Odam matrem Othonis marchionis de Orlamunde" as wife of "secundus filius [comitis Tiderici] Dedo"[73]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. m firstly as his second wife, WILHELM [III] Graf von Weimar, son of WILHELM [II] "der Große" Graf von Weimar & his wife --- (-16 Apr 1039). m secondly as his first wife, DEDO [II], son of DIETRICH [II] Graf in Eilenburg [Wettin] & his wife Mathilde von Meissen (-Oct 1075). Markgraf der sächsischen Ostmark 1046.
2. GERO (-29 Jun 976, bur Köln Cathedral). The Annalista Saxo records "Thietmarum marchionem et Geronem Coloniensem archiepiscopum" as sons of "soror eorum [Gero marchiorum et Sigefridus] Hidda nominee"[74]. He donated part of his inheritance to the church at Thankmarsfelden with his brother "IV Kal Sep" 970[75]. Thietmar records that "Gero brother of Markgraf Thietmar" was elected Archbishop of Köln after the death of Folkmar [18 Jul 969], against the wishes of Emperor Otto I and that confirmation of his election in the following year by the emperor reportedly occurred after the latter had a vision[76]. Monk at Kloster [Mönchen] Gladbach [974]. His death in 976 is recorded in the Annalista Saxo[77]. Thietmar records that he died on 29 Jun[78].
3. [HODO [Odo] (-13 Mar 993, bur Kloster Nienburg an der Saale[79]). Jackson suggests that Markgraf Hodo was a son of Markgraf Christian and his wife Hidda[80]. The onomastics are favourable. The common countship of Gau Serimunt between Markgraf Thietmar, son of Christian, and Hodo, as well as the latter's burial in the former's foundation suggest a close relationship. "Otto…rex" donated property "Huodo in beneficium habet in pago Helmingouue in comitatu Willihelmi comitis" to the church of Magdeburg by charter dated 29 Jul 961[81], but it is not known whether this refers to the same Hodo. "Otto…rex" granted property "in pago Serimunt in comitatu Thetmari comitis" to Rihpert Bishop of Brixen on the intervention of "Huotonis comitis" by charter dated 15 Oct 967[82]. Markgraf der Ostmark 965. Graf im Gau Nizizi after 9 Aug 966. "Otto…imperator augustus" granted property "predium Chotirodizi…in pago Northuringa in comitatu Huodonis comitis" to Magdeburg St Moritz by charter dated 1 Dec 971[83]. Markgraf 974. "Otto…imperator augustus" confirmed donations of property "Rosburg in pago Sirimunti in comitatu Huodonis marchionis" to the church of Magdeburg by charter dated 16 Jun 974[84]. Graf im Nordthüringau 974. Markgraf Hodo attacked Mieszko I Prince of Poland but was defeated by him at Zehden [Cydyna] 24 Jun 972[85]. "Otto…rex" donated property "Vvalbisci in comitatu Karoli comitis" to Quedlinburg by charter dated 6 Jan 992, which names as present "Bernhardi ducis, Egberti comitis, Eggihardi marchionis, Herimanni palatini comitis, Huodonis marchionis, Deoderici palatini comitis eiusque fratris Sigeberti comitis, Herimanni comitis"[86]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "13 Mar" of "Hodo marchio"[87]. m ---. The name of Hodo's wife is not known. Markgraf Hodo & his wife had [three] children:
a) SIEGFRIED (-after 1030). The Annalista Saxo names "Sigefridus, avunculus Esici comitis de Ballenstide, filius Odonis incliti marchionis", specifying that he took the habit at Kloster Nienburg but apostasised after his father died[88]. Thietmar records that Siegfried, son of Hodo, lived as a monk at Nienburg but "threw off the cowl and put on secular clothing" after his father died[89], presumably to claim his father's succession. Graf 1018. The Annalista Saxo records that he took part in attacks led by Mieszko II King of Poland in 1030[90].
b) [HIDDA][91] . From the Annalista Saxo description of "Sigefridus, avunculus Esici comitis de Ballenstide, filius Odonis incliti marchionis", it is deduced that Siegfried's sister married the father of Esico Graf von Ballenstedt, but neither parent is named[92]. m ADALBERT [von Ballenstedt], son of ---.
c) [ALFRINUS . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Monk at Corvey.]
It is not known how the following two small family groups may have been related to the family shown above, if at all.
1. DEDO . The Annalista Saxo records "Dedi dicebatur Wodenswege" as father of Gero Archbishop of Magdeburg[93]. m EILIKA, daughter of ---. The Annalista Saxo records "Eilica" as mother of Gero Archbishop of Magdeburg[94]. Dedo & his wife had one child:
a) GERO (-Nov 1023). The Annalista Saxo records "Dedi dicebatur Wodenswege" as father of Gero Archbishop of Magdeburg[95], and records the death "XI Kal Nov" of "Gero Magdaburgensis archiepisopus"[96]. Archbishop of Magdeburg 1012.
Brother and four sisters, parents not known. Jackman suggests that the monk Konrad was a brother of Gero Archbishop of Köln (see above)[97].
1. KONRAD . Thietmar names the monk "Konrad" as "avunculus" of Archbishop Gero[98], interpreted as referring to Gero Archbishop of Magdeburg (died 1023) rather than Gero Archbishop of Köln (died 976), particularly as a later passage refers to "Archbishop Gero's maternal aunts" (see below) whom it is assumed were related to the Magdeburg archbishop.
2. EILIKA . The Annalista Saxo records "Eilica" as mother of Gero Archbishop of Magdeburg, whose father is named "Dedi dicebatur Wodenswege" in another passage[99]. Her relationship with the monk Konrad is deduced from Thietmar naming him as avunculus of Archbishop Gero[100] who, as noted above, is assumed to refer to the archbishop of Magdeburg not the archbishop of Köln of this name. m DEDO, son of ---.

DEDO [II] von Wettin, son of DIETRICH Graf in Eilenburg, Graf im Hassegau und Siusli [Wettin] & his wife Mathilde von Meissen (-Oct 1075). The Genealogica Wettinensis names "filios: Fridericum, Dedonem, Thiemonem, Geronem, Conradum, Riddagum, et filiam Hiddam" as children of "comes Tidericus", specifying that "secundus filius Dedo obtinuit marchiam Hodonis marchionis, qui heredem non habuit"[284].

m secondly (1069) as her second husband, ADELA de Louvain, widow of OTTO Graf von Weimar Markgraf von Meissen, daughter of LAMBERT II Comte de Louvain & his wife Uda of Lotharingia (-1083). The Annalista Saxo records "Adhelam de Brabantia, ex castello quod Lovene dicitur" as wife of Markgraf Otto, and later her second marriage to Otto's stepfather[287]. The Genealogica Wettinensis names "viduam eius [=Othone marchione]…nata de Brabancia ex castello quod dicitur Levene, erantque fratres eius Heinricus comes et Reiherus" as second wife of "Dedo marchio"[288], but does not name her. "Heinricus…rex" confirmed donations to St Servatius at Maastricht by "marchio Otto de Thuringia eiusque uxor Adela" by charter dated 21 Sep 1062, in the presence of "Friderici ducis, Godefridi marchionis, Lamberti comitis de Brusela filiorumque suorum, Winrici de Wivsehel"[289].

The Annales Gotwicenses record the death in 1071 of "Adalheit marchionissa"[292]. The necrology of Melk records the death "VII Kal Feb" of "Adalheida marchionissa ux Adalberti marchionis Austrie"[293]. At first sight, "Adalberti" has assumed to be an error for "Ernesti" as the latter's wife is the only known "marchionissa" of that name. However, the entry may alternatively refer to the otherwise unknown first wife of Markgraf Adalbert. The necrology of Kloster Neuburg also records the death "VII Kal Feb" of "Adelheidis marchionissa"[294] but does not name her husband. m as his first wife, ERNST Markgraf of Austria, son of ADALBERT Markgraf der Ostmark [Austria] & his first wife --- (-killed in battle near Homburg/Unstrut 9 Jun 1075, bur Melk).
3. [AGNES . 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"[295]. The Genealogica Wettinensis names "Adelhidis…[et] Agnes" as the two daughters of "secundus filius [comitis Tiderici] Dedo" and his wife Oda, naming "Friderico comiti" as husband 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[296], presumably based on the same source. This 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]. The Chronicon Gozecense apparently identifies the correct origin of Agnes, wife of Friedrich von Goseck, when it names "Oudam" as daughter of "comes Fridericus [et] Agnam…de Wimare"[297], the latter being the sister of Oda der Ostmark's first husband Wilhelm [III] Graf von Weimar (see THURINGIAN NOBILITY). The question remains whether these sources should be interpreted broadly as meaning that Markgraf Dedo [II] did have a second daughter named Agnes by his first marriage and that she was married to another individual named Friedrich. m FRIEDRICH "Graf in Sachsen".]
