Notes:

Bertha of Swabia a member of the Alemannic Hunfriding dynasty, was queen of Burgundy from 922 until 937 and queen of Italy from 922 until 926, by her marriage with King Rudolph II. She was again queen of Italy during her second marriage with King Hugh from 937 until his death in 948.

Bertha was the daughter of Duke Burchard II of Swabia and his wife Regelinda.

In 922 she was married to the Burgundian king Rudolph II. The Welf rulers of Upper Burgundy had campaigned the adjacent Swabian Thurgau region several times, and the marriage was meant as a gesture of reconciliation. With her husband Rudolph, Bertha founded the church of Amsoldingen.

12 December 937, the widowed Bertha married King Hugh of Italy in what is today Colombier. This marriage was not a happy one; when Hugh died in 947, Bertha returned to Burgundy.

Between 950 and 960, Bertha founded Payerne Priory, where she was buried. Up to today she is venerated as "Good Queen Bertha" (La reine Berthe) in the Swiss Romandy region, mainly in Vaud, and numerous myths and legends have evolved about her life.

Bertha married von Hochburgund, King Rudolph II in 922 in Bourgogne, France. Rudolph (son of von Hochburgund, Rudolph I and de Provence, Guilla) was born on 11 Jul 880 in Bourgogne, France; died on 11 Jul 937 in Lot-et-Garonne, Aquitaine, France; was buried on 13 Jul 937 in Sankt Moritz, Graubünden, Switzerland.

Notes:

Burchard II (883-29 April 926) was the Hunfriding Duke of Swabia (from 917) and Count of Raetia. He was the son of Burchard I of Swabia and Liutgard of Saxony.

Burchard took part in the early wars over Swabia. His family being from Franconia, he founded the monastery of St Margarethen in Waldkirch to extend his family's influence into the Rhineland. On his father's arrest and execution for high treason in 911, he and his wife, Regelinda, daughter of Count Eberhard I of Zürich, went to Italy: either banished by Count Erchanger or voluntarily exiling themselves to their relatives over the Alps. Around 913, Burchard returned from exile and took control over his father's property. In 915, he joined Erchanger and Arnulf, Duke of Bavaria, in battle against the Magyars. Then Burchard and Erchanger turned on King Conrad I and, at the Battle of Wahlwies in the Hegau, defeated him. Erchanger was proclaimed duke.

After Erchanger was killed on 21 January 917, Burchard seized all his lands and was recognised universally as duke. In 919, King Rudolph II of Upper Burgundy seized the county of Zürich and invaded the region of Konstanz, then the centre and practical capital of the Swabian duchy. At Winterthur, however, Rudolph was defeated by Burchard, who thus consolidated the duchy and forced on the king his own territorial claims. In that same year, he recognised the newly elected king of Germany, Henry the Fowler, duke of Saxony. Henry in turn gave Burchard rights of taxation and investiture of bishops and abbots in his duchy.

In 922, Burchard married his daughter Bertha to Rudolph and affirmed the peace of three years prior. Burchard then accompanied Rudolph into Italy when he was elected king by opponents of the Emperor Berengar. In 924, the emperor died and Hugh of Arles was elected by his partisans to oppose Rudolph. Burchard attacked Novara, defended by the troops of Lambert, Archbishop of Milan. There he was killed, probably on April 29. His widow, Regelinda (d. 958), remarried to Burchard's successor, Herman I. She had given him five children:

1.) Gisela (c. 905-26 October 923 or 925), abbess of Waldkirch

2.) Hicha (c. 905-950), whose son was Conrad, Duke of Lorraine

3.) Burchard III (c. 915-1 November 973), later duke of Swabia

4.) Bertha (c. 907 -2 January 961), married Rudolph II, King of Burgundy

5.) Adalric (d. 973), monk in Einsiedeln Abbey

Burchard married von Sülichgau, Regelinda in 904. Regelinda was born in 888 in Sülichgau (Historical), Tubingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany; died in 959 in Insel Ufenau, Zürich, Switzerland; was buried in 959 in Kilianskappelle auf der Reichenau, Konstanz, Konstanz, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

• Appointments / Titles: Duke of Swabia
• House: Hunfriding
• FSID: GMV5-BSB
• Appointments / Titles: Between 909 and 911; Duke of Alamannia

Notes:

Burchard was the most powerful ruler in Swabia around 900. In an exchange contract from 904, Burchard is also found as Vogt of the Swabian estates of Lorsch Abbey. In order to expand his power, he began against Count Palatine Erchanger, a loyal subordinate of Conrad I, and the Bishop Solomon III. von Konstanz, abbot of the St. Gallen monastery (→ Appenzell Ausserrhoden), to intrigue. Burchard was captured and charged by the Swabian state parliament with high treason and found guilty. His son, Burchard II, and his wife Regelinda were able to flee to relatives in Italy, but lost their property in Swabia and Raetia. Burchard and his brother Adalbert, the Count of Thurgau, were executed in 911.

*******************************

Burchard I (c. 850/855 – 5 or 23 November 911), a member of the Hunfriding dynasty, was a Duke of Alamannia from 909 until his death. He also held the title of a margrave of Raetia Curiensis, as well as count in the Thurgau and Baar.

Burchard was the son of Adalbert II the Illustrious, Count of Thurgau, and his wife Judith of Friuli. By 900, Burchard was already the most powerful noble in Alamannia. In a 904 deed, he appeared as Vogt administrator of the Swabian possessions of Lorsch Abbey. He succeeded the Welf scion Ruadulf in the borderlands of Raetia, mentioned as marchio (margrave) in 903 and dux (duke) in 909.

To further increase his influence, Burchard entered into a conflict with the Swabian count palatine Erchanger and Bishop Solomon III of Constance, who both were loyal supporters to the later East Frankish king Conrad I. In turn, Burchard was captured and charged with high treason. He was found guilty by a tribal council and executed, along with his brother, Count Adalbert III of Thurgau.

His son, Burchard II, and his daughter-in-law, Regelinda, left for Italy, either exiled or taking refuge. Their Rhaetian estates were lost, though later recovered. Count Palatine Erchanger proclaimed himself Duke of Swabia in 915.

About 882 Burchard married one Liutgard (possibly the Ottonian princess Liutgard of Saxony, widow of King Louis the Younger) and had the following children:
. Burchard II (d. 926), succeeded as Duke of Swabia in 917
. Dietpirch of Swabia (also known as Theoberga) married Hupald of Dillingen (d. 909).
. Odalric, count in the Thurgau and Zürichgau, had issue.

Please read re Liudolf:

The basis of this conjecture is the record mentioned above in which a Liudolf is called a brother of a Cobbo ["Tradidit Bardo comes pro remedio anime Liudulfi familias XVIII in pago Bardengo. ... quidquid ipse Ludolfus habuit in pago Bardengo, ... exceptis seorsum denominatis familiis, quas ipse suo germano Cobboni atque suo propinquo Fresgario ad redimendum reliquerat. Omnia Bardo comes tradidit ... hac ei potestate contradita ab uxore Ludolfi atque a suis propinquis. ... ut predicti Ludolfi uxor ea possedeat usque ad obitum suum, ..." Trad. Corb., 76, B §350 (A §126)]. Some have identified this Liudolf with Liudolf of Saxony, and the brother Cobbo with either the son or grandson of Egbert, resulting in Liudolf being placed as a son or grandson of Egbert. The two variations are discussed in more detail on the page of Liudolf. The principle objection to the identification of this Liudolf (who was deceased at the time of the entry) as Liudolf of Saxony is that the date of the entry has been estimated in the 840's, whereas Liudolf of Saxony died in 866. Thus, it is probable that the Liudolf of the Corvey tradition was a different man from duke Liudolf of Saxony.

Liudolf's ancestry cannot be determined with certainty. In the biography of the first abbess Hathumod from Gandersheim, a daughter of Liudolf, written around 877, the monk Agius claims that Liudolf comes from the most respected family in Saxony. In her poem Primordia, written in the middle of the 10th century, Hrotsvit von Gandersheim also reports that Liudolf came from “extremely noble” parents, whose names she could not or did not want to mention.

In the biography of the Franconian noblewoman Ida von Herzfeld from around 980, the vita s. Idae of the Werden monk Uffing, Uffing alleges that Liudolf and his son Otto the illustrious did not take care of Ida's grave without saying that they did so would only have been obliged as descendants. [5] In addition, Liudolf buried his son, who died in childhood, there. This burial place was on the Herzfeld farm, which first belonged to Ida's husband Ekbert, then Liudolf and finally Otto the illustrious, until he exchanged it for properties in Beek near Duisburg. Albert K. Hömberg therefore came to the conclusion that Liudolf was the grandson of Ida and Ekbert. [6] In fact, Ida's son Cobbo, like Liudolf a close confidante of Ludwig the German, had a son named Liudolf from his marriage to Eila

------------------
Liudolfs Abstammung ist nicht sicher zu bestimmen.[1] In der um 877 verfassten Lebensbeschreibung der ersten Gandersheimer Äbtissin Hathumod, einer Tochter Liudolfs, behauptet der Mönch Agius, Liudolf entstamme dem angesehensten Geschlecht in Sachsen.[2] Auch Hrotsvit von Gandersheim berichtet in ihrem Mitte des 10. Jahrhunderts entstandenen Gedicht Primordia,[3] Liudolf stamme von „überaus adligen“ Eltern ab, deren Namen sie jedoch nicht erwähnen konnte oder wollte.[4]

In der um 980 entstandenen Lebensbeschreibung der fränkischen Adligen Ida von Herzfeld, der Vita s. Idae des Werdener Mönches Uffing, erhebt dieser den Vorwurf, Liudolf und sein Sohn Otto der Erlauchte hätten sich nicht um das Grab Idas gekümmert, ohne auszusprechen, dass sie dazu nur als Abkömmlinge verpflichtet gewesen wären.[5] Zudem habe Liudolf seinen im Kindesalter verstorbenen Sohn dort beigesetzt. Diese Grablege befand sich auf dem Hof Herzfeld, der zunächst Idas Mann Ekbert, dann Liudolf und schließlich Otto dem Erlauchten gehörte, bis dieser ihn gegen Besitzungen in Beek bei Duisburg eintauschte. Albert K. Hömberg gelangte deshalb zu dem Ergebnis, Liudolf sei der Enkel Idas und Ekberts.[6] Tatsächlich hatte Idas Sohn Cobbo, wie Liudolf ein enger Vertrauter Ludwig des Deutschen, aus seiner Ehe mit Eila einen Sohn namens Liudolf.

Addiionally:

However, as Hlawitschka has noted, the assumption that Liudolf was an heir of Egbert probably reads too much into the statements of the Life of St. Ida [Hlawitschka (1974), 156-9]. This source does not actually state that Liudolf held Herzfeld, only that he buried a son there. When it states that duke Otto was awarded Herzfeld by law, this was presumably after 880 (when Otto became duke), and therefore many years after the hereditary succession of unknown individuals to Egbert and Ida mentioned earlier. The Liudolfinger were from eastern Saxony, while Herzfeld is in Westfalen. Also, the fact that Otto II sold Herzfeld does not suggest that it was land long in hereditary possession of his family.

Liudolf married Billung, Oda in 834 in Sachsen, Germany. Oda (daughter of Billung and of Italy, Aeda) was born in 818 in Stammen, Kassel, Hessen, Germany; died on 17 May 913 in Niedersachsen, Germany; was buried after 17 May 913 in Brunshausen, Stade, Niedersachsen, Germany.

Granddaughter of Charlemagne: (dutch) Liudolf was married to Oda (ca. 806 - 17 May 913), daughter of the princeps of Billung (Billungers) and Aeda, daughter of Pepin of Italy and thus granddaughter of Charlemagne. Oda founded the monastery of Calbe an der Milde in 885 and lived to be more than 100 years old. Liudolf and Oda had twelve children. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liudolf_van_Saxony
