      ; Per Med Lands:
     "HERIBERT [Arbertus]. His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated Aug 867 under which "Oddo comes, uxorque mea Garsindis" sold property "in comitatu Lemovicino…villa…Orbaciacus", with the consent of "fratre nostro Airberto" and subscribed by "Garsis comitis, Willelmi comitis…"[222]. "Bertheiz sagaci" donated property to Vabres, for the souls of "genitoris mei Remigii hac genetricis meæ Arsinda" and for "iugale meo Raimundo et filio meo Bernardo qui fuerunt quondam, seu et filio meo Odone et Benedicto", by charter dated 6 Apr 883[223]. The identity of "filio meo…Benedicto" in this document presents an interesting problem. As can be seen above, the monastery of Vabres was founded in 862 after the death of Benedict, son of Berthe, as confirmed by the charter of Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks dated 21 Jun 870. However, the wording of Berthe´s charter of 883 suggests that both her sons Odon and "Benedicto" were alive at that date. An answer appears to be provided by the subscriptions of the 883 charter, which include "…Airiberto, qui vocatus fuit Benedictus, qui hoc consensit". This subscription does not state the relationship between the donor and this subscriber. He is the only subscriber (out of sixteen) who is described as having consented to the donation. This suggests a close relationship with the donor, except that his name is listed eighth in the list so appears not to be given any particular precedence. Nevertheless, this subscription raises the possibility that "filio meo…Benedicto" was the same person as Berthe´s son who is named "Airberto" in other documents. "Oddo…comes uxorque mea Garsindis" exchanged property with Frotaire Archbishop of Bourges by charter dated to [886] witnessed by "Airberti fratris eius, Garsiæ scriptoris comitis, Willelmi comitis…"[224]. "Frotarius…Biturigensis ecclesiæ archiepiscopus" confirmed privileges to "villa Orbaciaco" for the souls of "Regimundi filiorumque eius Bernardi et Oddonis atque Arberti" by charter dated Aug 887, although the charter of the same date shows that Oddon and Heribert were alive at that time[225]."

     "CHARLES CONSTANTIN ([905/10]-after Jan 962). Flodoard names "Karlo Constantino, Lucdowici Orbi filio"[53]. "Hludovicus…imperator augustus" gave three serfs to "fideli nostro Bononi" at the request of "filius noster Karolus" by charter dated 3 Jun 924[54]. His birth date range is estimated on the basis of his having been a young adult or adolescent at the time of the 924 charter in which he is named. The absence of proof that Charles Constantin was the grandson of the Byzantine emperor is discussed above in relation to his father's betrothal. "Carolus comes" is named "consanguineus noster" by Conrad I King of Burgundy in two charters of the latter dated 28 Mar 943 and 18 May 943[55], which suggests that he may have been the son of Adelais, assuming that her Burgundian origin is correct and assuming also that the Burgundian origin of Willa, wife of Rudolf I King of Burgundy, is incorrect (see above). He was named Comte de Vienne in 926 by his cousin Raoul King of France, in succession to his cousin Hugues Comte d'Arles, who was then proclaimed king of Italy. King Ugo of Italy removed the county of Vienne from Charles Constantin in 928 and granted it to Héribert [II] Comte de Vermandois. Charles Constantin remained at Vienne. Flodoard provides an insight into the continuing rivalries regarding Vienne when he records in 933 that it was granted to "Rodulfo regi" [Rudolf II King of Upper Burgundy, see the document BURGUNDY KINGS][56]. It is supposed that, from that time, Charles Constantin continued to hold the county under the suzerainty of the kingdom of Burgundy. Mermet records the existence of a peace treaty signed at the time between Ugo King of Italy and Rudolf II King of Burgundy which confirmed the latter’s rights to the Burgundian kingdom and Charles Constantin’s position in the county of Vienne[57]. Charles Constantin swore allegiance to Conrad "le Pacifique" King of Burgundy in 943[58]. The rivalry being the competing factions in France concerning the suzerainty over Vienne persisted, as indicated by Flodoard who recorded in 951 that Louis IV “d’Outremer” King of the West Franks summoned "Karlus Constantinus Viennæ princeps et Stephanus Arvernorum præsul" to swear allegiance[59]. "Karolus comes" sold land "in villa Brociano" by charter dated 19 May 960 which names "Teutbergi comitisse"[60].
     "m TEUTBERGA, daughter of --- (-after 19 May 960). "Teutbergi comitisse" is named in the charter of "Karolus comes" dated 19 May 960 which recorded the sale of land "in villa Brociano"[61]. Her origin is not known. Her name suggests a connection with the family of the Comtes de Troyes and it has been suggested[62] that she was Teutberga [de Troyes, daughter of Warnarius [Garnier] Vicomte de Sens [Comte de Troyes] & his wife Teutberga d'Arles]. Gingins-la-Sarra points out that Teutberga was the name of the third wife and widow of Engelbert, of the family of the vicomtes de Vienne, who could have married Charles Constantin as her second husband[63]. There seems to be no basis for this speculation other than the name."

     "RUDOLF, son of RUDOLF I King of Upper Burgundy & his wife Willa [de Vienne] (-[end] 937). Herimannus names "Roudolfus filius eius [=Roudolfus rex Burgundiæ]" when recording his accession[126]. He succeeded his father in 912 as RUDOLF II King of Upper Burgundy. He was invited to Italy by the magnates of north-west Italy who opposed King Berengario's use of Hungarian mercenaries, and in 922 was elected as RUDOLF I King of Italy. He defeated King Berengario at Firenzuola in 923 and forced the ex-king´s retreat to Verona. However, the Italians rebelled against Rudolf in 925 and offered the crown to Hugues Comte d'Arles[127]. Ugo King of Italy ceded the kingdom of Lower Burgundy, including Provence, to King Rudolf II in 930, after which Arles became the capital of the united kingdom, which was sometimes referred to in primary sources as the kingdom of Arles[128]. Mermet records the existence of a peace treaty signed around [933] between Ugo King of Italy and Rudolf II King of Burgundy which confirmed the latter’s rights to the Burgundian kingdom[129]. Flodoard records the death of "Rodulfus, Iurensis ac Cisalpinæ Galliæ rex" and the succession of his "filius parvus Chonradus" at the end of his passage for 937[130].

Liutprand names "Bertam Suevorum ducis Bruchardi filiam" as wife of "Rodulfus rex Burgundionibus"[131]. "Berta matre nostra" is named in the charter of "Chuonradus rex" dated 8 Apr 962[132]. She married secondly as his fourth wife, Ugo King of Italy[133]. Luitprand records the marriage of "Burgundionum rex Rodulfus…viduam Bertam" to King Ugo[134]."

     "Rudolf was the son of Rudolf I, king of Upper Burgundy, and Guille/Wille de Provence. In 922 he married Bertha von Schwaben, daughter of Burchard, Herzog von Schwaben. Their son Conrad I and daughter Aelis (Adelheid) would have progeny.
     "Following his ascension to the throne in 912, Rudolf was asked by several Italian nobles in 922 to intervene in Italy on their behalf against Emperor Berengar. Having entered Italy, he was crowned King of the Lombards at Pavia. In 923 he defeated Berengar at Piacenza; Berengar was murdered the following year, possibly at the instigation of Rudolf. The king then ruled Upper Burgundy and Italy together, residing alternately in both kingdoms.
     "However, in 926 the Italian nobility turned against him and requested Hugo of Arles, the effective ruler of Provence (or Lower Burgundy), to rule them instead. Rudolf returned to Upper Burgundy to protect himself, ensuring Hugo's coronation as King of Italy in the process. The Italians then switched sides again, declaring that they wished for Rudolf to reclaim the throne. To prevent this, Hugo and Rudolf signed a treaty in 933, granting Rudolf the rule over Lower Burgundy in exchange for his renunciation of all claims on the Italian throne. He married his daughter Aelis to Hugo's son Lothar. The two Burgundian kingdoms unified, Rudolf ruled until his death in 937. He was succeeded by his son Conrad."10 GAV-30 EDV-30 GKJ-29. He was King of Upper Burgundy between 912 and 937.2 He was King of Italy between 924 and 926.2 He was King of Lower Burgundy between 931 and 937.2

     "PHILIPPE de France, son of HENRI I King of France & his second wife Anna Iaroslavna of Kiev (1052-Château de Melun, Seine-et-Marne 30 Jul 1108, bur Abbaye de Saint Benoît-sur-Loire[292]). The Liber Modernorum Regum Francorum names (in order) "Philippum, Hugonem atque Rotbertum" as the three sons of King Henri and Anna[293]. Orderic Vitalis names "Philippum et Hugonem Magnum Crispeii comitem" as the children of "Henricus…Francorum rex" and his wife "Bertradam, Julii Claudii regis Russiæ filiam"[294]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the birth in 1052 of "rex futurus regis Francorum Henrici filius ex Anna filia Georgii regis Sclavonum"[295]. He was consecrated associate-king 23 May 1059, at the cathedral of Notre-Dame de Reims: the Hugonis Floriacensis Actum records the consecration in 1058 of “rex...Henricus...Philippum filium suum duodennum” at “Remis a Gervasio archiepiscopo”, in the presence of “duo Nicholai papæ legati, Hugo...Bisunciensis archiepiscopus et Hermenfredus Sedunensis episcopus”[296]. His father entrusted his education to his uncle Baldwin V Count of Flanders, who later became regent until 1066/67. He succeeded his father in 1060 as PHILIPPE I King of France. The Bertholdi Annales record in 1060 the death of “Heinricus Galliarum rex” and the succession of “filius eius Philippus adhuc puer regnum cum matre gubernandum suscepit”[297]. Consecrated 25 Dec 1071 at Laon, again 16 May 1098 at Tours, and for a fourth time 25 Dec 1100 at Reims. Foulques IV "le Rechin" Comte d'Anjou ceded Château-Landon and Gâtinais to him in 1069, in return for the king's recognition of his accession as count[298]. King Philippe pursued this policy of expanding his territories, adding Corbie in 1074, acquiring part of Vermandois on the death of Raoul Comte de Vermandois in 1074, invading Vexin in 1077, and taking possession of Bourges in 1100[299]. In 1071, after ineffectively helping Arnoul III Count of Flanders against his uncle Robert, the latter made peace with King Philippe and arranged the king's marriage to his stepdaughter. The Historia Regum Francorum Monasterii Sancti Dionysii records the death "apud Milidunum IV Kal Aug" of King Philippe and his burial "in ecclesia sancti Benedicti super Ligerim in pago Aurelianensi"[300]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés records the death "III Kal Aug" of "Philippus rex Francorum"[301]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "III Kal Aug" of "Philippus rex"[302].

The Gesta Hungarorum records that King András forced the marriage of "Salomoni regi" and "Henricus imperator…Sophiam suam filiam", specifying that she had earlier been betrothed to "filio regis Franciæ"[303]. This could only refer to the future Philippe I King of France as it is unlikely that the emperor's daughter would have been betrothed to his younger brother. This betrothal is not corroborated in the western European primary sources so far consulted.

The Liber Modernorum Regum Francorum records the marriage of "filiam ducis Frisiæ" and "rex Philippus"[304]. The Historia Francorum names "filiam Florentii ducis Frisonum Bertam" as wife of King Philippe[305]. The Chronologia Johannes de Beke names (in order) "Theodricum et Florencium…et Machtildim" as children of Count Floris & his wife, specifying that "Machtildim" married "Philippus rex Francie" after the death of her father which indicates that "Machtildim" in this text is an error for Bertha[306]. Her marriage was arranged as part of the settlement under which her future husband recognised her stepfather as Count of Flanders[307]. She was repudiated after King Philippe abducted Bertrade de Montfort from her husband, and was sent to Montreuil[308]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Victor records the death "Id Oct" of "Berta mater Ludovici regis"[309]. Clarius’s Chronicon Sancti Petri Vivi Senonensis records the death in 1094 of “Berta regina, quæ a rege Philippo prius fuerat derelicta”[310].

Orderic Vitalis records that “Bertrada...Andegavorum comitissa”, fearing that her husband was about to treat her like his previous two wives, sought protection from “Philippo regi Francorum” who repudiated his own wife and married her, the ceremony being conducted by “Odo Bajocensis episcopus”[311]. The De Genere Comitum Flandrensium, Notæ Parisienses names "Fulconi Richin Andegavensi comiti uxorem suam nomine Bertradam" as second wife of King Philippe, specifying that the king abducted her from her first husband after repudiating his first wife[312]. William of Tyre records this marriage[313]. Pope Urban II at the Council of Autun excommunicated the king 16 Oct 1094, confirmed at the Council of Clermont 18/28 Nov 1095[314]. The church finally admitted the validity of the marriage after the Council of Paris 2 Dec 1104[315]. Orderic Vitalis alleges that Bertrade tried to poison her stepson Louis so her own sons could succeed to the throne[316]. "Fulco iunior Andegavensium comes Fulconis comitis filius" donated property to the abbey of Fontevraud with the consent of "Bertrade regina matre meo, Philipo fratre meo" by charter dated to [1109/1112/13][317].

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Judith of Swabia (Hungarian: Sváb Judit, Polish: Judyta Szwabska; Summer 1054 – 14 March ca. 1105?), a member of the Salian dynasty, was the youngest daughter of Emperor Henry III from his second marriage with Agnes of Poitou. By her two marriages she was Queen of Hungary from 1063 to 1074 and Duchess of Poland from 1089 to 1102.
Life
     "Born probably at the Imperial Palace of Goslar, Judith (also named Judith Maria or Judith Sophia in some sources) was the youngest of the six children born to Emperor Henry III and Empress Agnes, a daughter of the French duke William V of Aquitaine. Among her older siblings were Adelaide, who became Abbess of Quedlinburg and Gandersheim, Gisela, who died in infancy before Judith's birth, and Matilda, the later wife of the Swabian duke and anti-king Rudolf of Rheinfelden, as well as her brother Henry IV, who succeeded their father as Holy Roman Emperor in 1056, and Conrad II, who also died in infancy. In addition, Judith had an older half-sister, Beatrix, Abbess of Quedlinburg and Gandersheim, born from her father's first marriage with Princess Gunhilda of Denmark.
Queen of Hungary
     "Soon after her birth on 9 April 1054, Judith was betrothed to the Capetian prince Philip, eldest son and heir of King Henry I of France. However, after the death of Emperor Henry III on 5 October 1056, with Empress Agnes acting as regent on behalf of her minor son Henry IV,[1] the engagement was broken in September 1058, when a peace treaty was concluded with King Andrew I of Hungary. The late Emperor Henry III had waged two unsuccessful campaigns against Hungary in 1051 and 1052, whereafter Pope Leo IX arranged an agreement. As a part of the new alliance, Judith was engaged to the Hungarian king's son and heir, Prince Solomon, at the Bavarian court in Regensburg. When King Andrew I died in 1060, his widow and sons had to take refuge in Germany. Nevertheless, with the support of his powerful brother-in-law, Solomon could recover the Hungarian throne after the death of his uncle Béla I in 1063 and soon after married with Judith in Székesfehérvár.
     "Their marriage proved to be unsuccessful, and apparently both the king and queen had love affairs. Although it is generally believed that the union was childless, some sources[2][3][4] state that Solomon and Judith had a daughter, Sophia, who later married Poppo, Count of Berg-Schelklingen. If this parentage is correct, Judith was the great-grandmother of Salomea of Berg, second wife of Boles?aw III Wrymouth (her later stepson).
     "During the 1070s, a struggle for power commenced between King Solomon and his cousins (sons of the late Béla I). On 14 March 1074 at the Battle of Mogyoród, the king's forces were decisively defeated by his cousins and their allies, the Dukes of Poland and Bohemia. Judith fled back to Germany, while Solomon continued his fight for the Hungarian throne; in 1077 he accepted the rule of his cousin King László I, who gave him in exchange extensive landholdings after his formal abdication (1081). Despite this, Solomon never gave up his pretensions and began to plot against King László I; however, his plans were discovered and he was imprisoned by the King in the Tower of Visegrád until 15 August 1083, when on the occasion of the canonization of István I, the first King of Hungary, Solomon was released.
     "In the meantime, Judith remained in Germany and settled in her residence in Regensburg (with short breaks) from May or July 1074 until 1088. After his release, Solomon went to Germany and tried to reunite with his wife, but she refused to receive him. After a long wandering, Solomon made an alliance with Kuteshk, the leader of a Pecheneg tribe settled in the later principality of Moldavia. Between 1084-1085 he married his daughter, committing bigamy with this act.
     "Solomon promised to hand over parts of the kingdom of Hungary in exchange for his new father-in-law's military assistance. In 1085, Solomon led the Pecheneg troops against Hungary, but King László I defeated them. Two years later, in 1087, Solomon took part in the Pechenegs' campaign against the Byzantine Empire and was killed in a battle near Hadrianopolis.
Duchess of Poland
     "In 1089, Judith married W?adys?aw I Herman, Duke of Poland. This union considerably benefited German-Polish relations; on the occasion of the wedding, Emperor Henry IV commissioned to St. Emmeram's Abbey in Regensburg the creation of Gospel Books to the Polish court, now kept in the library of the Wawel Cathedral chapter in Kraków.
     "After her marriage, Judith changed her name to Sophia, perhaps to distinguish herself from W?adys?aw I's first wife, Judith of Bohemia. She bore her husband four daughters: Sophia (by marriage Princess of Vladimir-Volynia), Agnes (later Abbess of Quedlinburg and Gandersheim), Adelaide (by marriage Countess of Vohburg and Margravine of the Northern March),[5] and an unnamed daughter (later wife of a Polish lord).
     "She probably had a big impact on Poland's political life. It is believed that she was the mistress of Sieciech, the Count Palatine and true governor of the country. Judith actively aided Sieciech in his schemes to take over the country;[6][7] the death of Mieszko Boles?awowic under mysterious circumstances was, in all probability, caused by orders of the Count Palatine and Judith. With the help of Sieciech, Judith convinced her husband[8] to send W?adys?aw I's first-born son Zbigniew (who seems to be a strong candidate to the succession despite his illegitimacy) to Quedlinburg Abbey where her sister Adelaide was Abbess; also, they wanted an eventual alliance with the only legitimate son of W?adys?aw I, Boles?aw, born from his first marriage with the Bohemian princess.
     "After discovering the plans of Sieciech and Judith to take over the country, Boles?aw and Zbigniew became allies. Both brothers demanded that the reigns of government should be handed over to them. Eventually, after some attempts to break the alliance between the brothers, Sieciech was defeated, deposed and exiled (ca. 1100–1101). On 4 June 1102 Duke W?adys?aw I died. The country was divided between Boles?aw III and Zbigniew.
     "Judith's date of death was disputed among historians and web sources. Although 14 March is stated as the correct day in almost all the known sources, in the case of the year is more difficult to ascertain. Sources established that she died between 1092–1096, but this seems improbable, because is known that around 1105, Boles?aw III entered into an agreement with her, under which, in exchange for abundant dower lands, Judith guaranteed her neutrality in the Duke's political contest with his half-brother Zbigniew.[9] Thus, she died after that date. Gerard Labuda stated that Judith spent her last years of life in Regensburg with her (supposed) daughter Adelaide, wife of Count Dietpold III of Vohburg and Cham; since the date of the marriage between Adelaide and Count Dietpold III was ranked between 1110–1118, it is assumed that Judith died after the latter year, at a relatively advanced age.[10] Her place of burial, Admont Abbey in Austria, apparently confirm this theory.

     "SALAMON (1053-killed in battle 1087, bur Pula). The Chronicon Posoniense records the birth in 1053 of "Samson filius Andree regie"[413]. The Gesta Hungarorum names "filium suum Salomonem adhuc puerulum" when recording that his father declared him heir to the throne in the twelfth year of his reign[414]. Salamon and his mother took refuge at the court of his brother-in-law Heinrich IV King of Germany when his paternal uncle Béla usurped the throne in 1060. After King Béla I died in 1063, he was installed as SALAMON King of Hungary with support from King Heinrich IV, whose suzerainty he recognised. Following continuing raids on Hungarian territory by Pechenegs, the Hungarians invaded Byzantine territory along the Danube in [1068], suspecting that the imperial governor of Beograd was sponsoring the Pechenegs. They captured Beograd in [1071/72] but did not retain it. The Chronicon Posoniense records that "Salomon rex" invaded "bulgarense regnum" in 1072[415]. The dispute with Byzantium was settled by treaty in 1074[416]. Although King Salamon had made peace with his cousin Géza, relations deteriorated between them and open warfare broke out in 1074. The Chronicon Posoniense records disputes in 1071 between "Salomon rex" and "duce magno Geyza Ungarorum"[417]. The Gesta Hungarorum records that King Salomon was defeated at "Munorod [Mogyoród]" and fled across the Danube to "Musunium [Moson]", before moving his household to the monastery of Admont in Styria[418]. The Chronicon Posoniense records that "Salomon" was deposed in 1074[419]. "Heinricus…rex" donated property to Freising church by charter dated 26 Nov 1074 at the request of "Salomon rex Ungarorum"[420], presumably as part of the arrangements agreed for Salamon's exile in Germany. Ex-King Salamon returned from Germany and conspired against his cousin King László I after the latter's accession in 1077, but he was confined to the Tower of Visegrád. He was released in 1083 and returned to his wife in Regensburg, but she refused to receive him. Salamon invaded Hungary again with Pecheneg forces from Moldavia, but was defeated. He was killed fighting in Byzantine territory. His death is recorded in the Annalista Saxo in 1087[421]. A different version of his final years is recorded in the Gesta Hungarorum which states that ex-King Salomon retired to Pula on the Adriatic where he lived in complete poverty and was buried, never having returned to his wife[422]. The Chronicon Varadiense records that "Salamon rex" died "in Pola civitate Styriæ"[423].

The Gesta Hungarorum records that King András forced the marriage of "Salomoni regi" and "Henricus imperator…Sophiam suam filiam", specifying that she had earlier been betrothed to "filio regis Franciæ"[426]. Having left Hungary for Germany after her husband was deposed in 1074, she was living in Regensburg when her husband attempted to reclaim the Hungarian throne. She refused to receive him when he returned in 1083. She married secondly ([1089]) as his second wife, W?adys?aw I Herman Prince of Poland ([1043]-4 Jun 1102). Her second marriage is confirmed by the Chronicæ Polanorum which records that King W?adys?aw married "sororem imperatoris tertii Henrici, uxorem prius Salemonis Ungariæ regis"[427]. The Chronicon Polono-Silesiacum specifies her name as "Iudite"[428]. The necrology of Weltenburg records the death "II Id Mar" of "Iudita de Polonia soror Heinrici imperatoris IV"[429]. The necrology of Regensburg St Emmeran records the death "II Id Mar" of "Iudita regina"[430]. The necrology of Speyer records the death "II Id Mar" of "Iudda regina imperatricis filia"[431]."

     "HEINRICH, son of KONRAD II King of Germany [Emperor KONRAD I] & his wife Gisela of Swabia (Oosterbecke [Ostrebeck] 28 Oct 1017-Burg Bodfeld im Harz 5 Oct 1056, bur Speyer Cathedral). "Cunradus…Romanorum imperator augustus" granted property to the church of Paderborn by charter dated 7 Apr 1027, naming for the first time "filii nostri Heinrici"[365]. Wipo names "Heinricus rex, filius imperatoris" when recording his first marriage in 1036[366]. He was installed in 1027 as HEINRICH VI Duke of Bavaria, until 1042 when he granted the duchy to Graf Heinrich [Luxembourg]. He was crowned as HEINRICH III King of Germany at Aachen 14 Apr 1028. Duke of Swabia 1038-1045. He was installed as king of Burgundy by his father in Autumn 1038. Regent of the duchy of Carinthia 1039-1047. He resumed possession of the duchy of Bavaria from 1047 to 1049. He deposed the three rival Popes Benedict IX, Sylvester III and Gregory VI in 1046, nominating in their place Suidger Bishop of Bamberg, who succeeded as Pope Clement II and crowned him Emperor HEINRICH II at Rome 25 Dec 1046. At the same time Emperor Heinrich received the rank of patricius as a hereditary title, which carried the right to cast the first vote in a papal election, the power of which was reflected in the election of six German popes during the following decade[367]. Emperor Heinrich faced internal opposition in Germany from several powerful magnates, Godefroi II Duke of Lotharingia, Konrad de Luxembourg Duke of Bavaria, Welf III Duke of Carinthia, and Bernhard Billung Duke in Saxony, all of whom were anxious to prevent the centralisation of power in the hands of the king/emperor[368]. A deeply religious man, Emperor Heinrich renewed the ban on clerics taking oaths in court proceedings, refused to follow the practice of bestowing church offices for payment, and laid great emphasis on the sacral character of kingship[369]. He founded the convent of St Simon and Jude at Goslar before 1050. He died of a fever. The Annales Spirenses record his burial at Speyer[370]. The necrology of St Gall records the death "III Non Oct" of "Heinrici imperatoris"[371].
     "m firstly ([29] Jun 1036) GUNHILD [Æthelfryth] of Denmark, daughter of KNUD I King of Denmark and England & his wife Emma de Normandie ([1020]-in Italy 18 Jul 1038, bur Limburg Klosterkirche). Adam of Bremen records that the daughter of King Knud married "imperator filio suo"[372]. Her parentage is given by Orderic Vitalis, who also refers to her marriage[373]. Wipo names "Chnutonis regis Anglorum filiam, nomine Chunehildem" as wife of "Heinricus rex, filius imperatoris" when recording their marriage in 1036[374]. The Annalista Saxo records that the wife of King Heinrich III was "filiam Cnud regis Danorum", specifying that the marriage was arranged by Unwan Archbishop of Bremen[375], although this seems unlikely as Archbishop Unwan died in 1029[376]. Herimannus names "Chunihildem, Cnutonis Danorum et Anglorum regis filiam" when recording her marriage to "Heinricus rex, filius imperatoris" in 1036[377]. She adopted the name KUNIGUND on her marriage. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records that "uxor imperatoris Henrici Gunhildis imperatrix de Anglia" was accused of adultery, that she was defended in trial by combat, but that after her champion's victory she disdained the success and became a nun[378]. William of Malmesbury also recounts that she was accused of adultery and retired to a convent[379]. She died during her husband's expedition to Italy[380], the death of "regina Conihild" being recorded in the Annalista Saxo "XV Kal Aug"[381]. The necrology of Speyer records the death "XV Kal Aug" of "Cunehilt regina"[382].
     "m secondly (Ingelheim 20 Nov 1043) AGNES de Poitou, daughter of GUILLAUME V "le Grand" Duke of Aquitaine [GUILLAUME III Comte de Poitou] & his third wife Agnès de Mâcon [Bourgogne-Comté] ([1025]-Rome 14 Dec 1077, bur Rome, St Peter's). Herimannus names her "Agnetam, Willehelmi Pictaviensis filiam" when recording her marriage[383]. The Chronicæ Sancti Albini records the marriage "1043 XII Kal Nov…apud Vesbrianim" of "Henricus imperator…filiam Willelmi comitis Pictavorum et Agnetis"[384]. She was crowned empress with her husband at Rome 25 Dec 1046. She was regent during the minority of her son from 1056. Her husband's old adviser, Gerhard von Eichstätt by then Pope Victor II, who was in Germany when her husband died, remained in Germany until Spring 1057 as the chief adviser of Agnes and ensured a smooth transition of power[385]. She also installed herself as AGNES Duchess of Bavaria in 1056, until 1061 when she appointed Otto von Northeim as duke. In 1062, Anno [II] Archbishop of Köln kidnapped her son King Heinrich IV and took him from Kaiserswerth to Köln. Agnes resigned as regent and went to Rome[386]. According to the Preface of Vitæ Heinrici et Cunegundis Imperatores, "Agnes imperatrix eius [Chunigundis imperatricis] consanguinea, obiit Idus Decembris"[387], although the exact relationship between Agnes and Empress Kunigund (widow of Emperor Heinrich I [Heinrich II King of Germany]) has not been traced. The necrology of Regensburg St Emmeran records the death "XIX Kal Jan" of "Agnes imperatrix"[388]. The necrology of Speyer records the death "XIX Kal Jan" of "Agnes imperatrix"[389].

     "Heinrich was born on 27 July 1017, the son of Emperor Konrad II and Gisela von Schwaben. He became king of the Germans (emperor-elect) in 1026, duke of Bavaria in 1027, duke of Swabia in 1038, and emperor in 1039. He resolutely maintained the imperial prerogatives of power and encouraged the efforts of the Cluniac monks to reform the ecclesiastical system of Europe.
     "In June 1036 in Nijmegen, he married Gunhild of Denmark and they had one daughter. After Gunhild died he married Agnès de Poitou in 1043 and they had five children. In 1046 he put an end to the intrigues of the three rival popes by deposing all three and electing Clement II in their stead. In 1042 he compelled the duke of Bohemia to acknowledge himself a vassal of the empire. By repeated campaigns in Hungary, he established the supremacy of the empire in 1044.
     "Heinrich III also stretched his authority over the Norman conquerors of Apulia and Calabria. He promoted learning and the arts, founded numerous monastic schools and built many great churches. He died on 5 October 1056."5

; Per Enc. of World History:
     "Henry III (the Black). Imperial authority at its height. A period of great town prosperity, due to development of trade. His wife, Agnes of Poitou, was an ardent devotee of Cluny; Henry, an honest reformer, abandoned simony and purified the court along Cluniac lines, but retained a firm hold on the Church. Strongest of the German emperors, he asserted his mastery in parts of Poland, Bohemia, and Hungary; Saxony was the only duchy to keep a trace of its original independence; resumption of the dangerous practice of granting duchies outside the royal house made Germany a feudal volcano; use of the ministeriales in administration, but retention of the bishops as principal advisers and administrators. Henry's reforms alienated the bishops, the magnates, and the nobles.
     "1041: Emperior Henry III, alarmed by the expansion of the Bohemian power, invaded the country and advanced to Prague. Betislav agreed to give up his Polish conquests and pay tribute to the emperor.
     "1043: Henry proclaimed the Day of Indulgence, forgiving all his foes and exhorting his subjects to do likewise; Brtislav of Bohemia forced (1041) to do homage; pagan reaction in Hungary put down (1044); final peace in Hungary (1052), which became a fief of the German crown. Homage of Denmark, repudiated soon after.
     "1046: Synods of Sutri and Rome. Deposition, at Henry's instigation, of three rival popes, and election of his nominee, Clement II, the first of a series (Clement, Leo IX, and Nicholas II) of reforming German popes; reaffirmation of the imperial right of nomination to the papacy.
     "The synods of Sutri and of Rome, under pressure from the reforming emperor Henry III, deposed three rival popes and made Suitgar, bishop of Bamberg, pope as Clement II (1046-47). Henry pacified southern Italy, reaffirmed the imperial right of nomination to the papacy, and left Italy in sound order.
     "1049-1052: The three campaigns of Emperor Henry III against the Hungarians. Andrew managed to hold his own, and in 1058 the emperor recognized Hungary's independence from the empire."24 He was King of Italy between 1039 and 1056.3,21 He was Margrave of Meissen in 1046.21 He was Holy Roman Emperor between 1046 and 1056.2,3,21

; Per Genealogics:
     "Agnès was born about 1025, the daughter of Guillaume III-V, duke of Aquitaine, and Agnès de Bourgogne. In 1031 Agnès was mentioned as being at the court of her brother, Guillaume 'the Fat'. In 1036 and 1037 she was in a cloister with her brother's wife Eustacia, because Guillaume had lost his position in Aquitaine. In 1042 she was in Bésançon at the court of her uncle Reginald when Bruno, bishop of Würzburg, came to ask her hand in marriage for the widowed Emperor Heinrich III. In October 1043 Agnès and Heinrich III met at the Burgundian border, and travelled together to Mainz for her coronation. A month later they married with great pomp in Ingelheim. In 1046 they went to Italy and were crowned Emperor and Empress by Pope Clemens II.
     "Heinrich III and Agnès had five children. Though Agnès was usually with her husband and is mentioned in many imperial documents, she had no political influence on him. However, she acted as regent for her son Heinrich IV when her husband died in 1056. As regent from 1056 until 1062 she worked to preserve the empire and continued Heinrich III's policies.
     "She travelled extensively throughout the empire, but her regency was troubled by some of the nobles she had trusted. She had placed Rudolf von Rheinfelden in charge of Swabia and betrothed him in 1059 to her eldest daughter Matilda. A year later Matilda died and Rudolf became one of her son's rebellious vassals. In 1060 she sent an army to aid her son-in-law Salomon of Hungary, but the army was defeated and Salomon and his wife were forced to flee.
     "Her regency came to an abrupt end when the bishop of Cologne kidnapped her son Heinrich IV and took over the regency. Without objection she returned to her own lands. In 1063 she went to Rome where she was befriended by Pope Alexander II who used her several times as an ambassador to the imperial court. She was also associated with Hildebrand, the future Pope Gregory VII. Agnes sided with the papal party and tried to conciliate between Pope Gregory VII and her son, by then Emperor Heinrich IV.
     "Agnes died on 14 December 1077."2

; Per Wikipédia (Fr.):
     "Agnès de Poitou (ou de Poitiers, d'Aquitaine), est née entre 1020 et 1030 et morte le 14 décembre 1077 à Rome.
     "En 10431, elle épouse Henri III dit le Noir, empereur germanique2. Devenue veuve en 1056, l'impératrice Agnès assume la régence du Saint-Empire romain germanique jusqu'à la majorité de son fils Henri IV le Grand, en 1062.
     "Cette période est marquée par la rivalité entre le pouvoir impérial et le pouvoir pontifical.
     "En 1057, le prince Frédéric de Lorraine, abbé du Mont-Cassin et frère de Godefroi II, duc de Toscane, est élu pape à l'insu du pouvoir impérial sous le nom d'Étienne IX. Farouche défenseur de l'indépendance de l'Église face au pouvoir impérial, il est assassiné huit mois après son élection.
     "En 1061, après la mort du pape Nicolas II et contrairement à la coutume, le Sacré Collège ne fait pas confirmer l'élection d'Alexandre II par le Saint-Empire. L'aristocratie de Rome conteste l'élection et fait appel à Agnès, qui fait élire à Bâle l'antipape Honorius II. Le schisme dure peu, puisque Honorius est désavoué par tous en 1064, mais encourage la papauté dans sa réforme, ce qui conduira à la querelle des Investitures.
     "Pendant la régence, les grands féodaux et les grands évêques du royaume d'Allemagne se révoltent et vont jusqu'à enlever en 1062 son fils Henri, roi des Romains. Après un voyage en France, elle se retire dans un couvent en Italie, d'où on l'appelle en 1072 pour réconcilier le duc de Souabe Rodolphe de Rheinfelden avec son fils. Après avoir évité la guerre civile, elle se retire à nouveau et meurt à Rome.
     "Femme érudite, elle fit traduire les ouvrages de Constantin l'Africain, moine médecin de l'abbaye du Mont-Cassin. Saint Pierre Damien, cardinal d'Ostie, est une des principales sources sur sa vie.
État des recherches sur le personnage d'Agnès
     "Agnès du Poitou est un personnage historique très controversé. Bien que femme, elle a dirigé l'un des plus grands empires européens, pendant presque dix ans, mais sa régence a été une période de réformes ecclésiastiques et l'occasion pour le trône de Saint-Pierre de commencer à s'émanciper de la monarchie germanique, émancipation dans laquelle elle joue un rôle. Mais Agnès était-elle vraiment la régente faible, confite en dévotion, complètement dépassée par les charges que son mari lui avait laissées en mourant de conduire les affaires du gouvernement et de parfaire l'éducation de leur fils, l'héritier du trône Henri IV ? C'est ainsi que l'historiographie la présentait.
     "Pendant longtemps il n'y eut aucun doute : Agnès avait été une régente trop faible. Ainsi, en 1923, Marie-Louise Buhlst-Thiele estime que « le fait d'entrer dans les ordres à la fin de sa vie, [est considéré] pour l'impératrice, comme une faiblesse ». Wilhelm von Giesebrecht va jusqu'à décrire Agnès comme étant d'une nature indécise et d'un caractère craintif. Dans son « Histoire de l'Empire allemand » (1890) il ne voit en elle qu'une régente faible, épouse du puissant empereur Henri III.
     "Pourtant dans les vingt dernières années l'opinion des chercheurs sur Agnès du Poitou a fortement changé. Cette évolution est surtout l'œuvre de deux historiens qui ont étudié le sujet en profondeur.
     "Tilmann Struve, en 1995, démontre entre autres que l'entrée au couvent de l'impératrice ne doit pas être considérée comme une conséquence directe du coup d'État de Kaiserswerth, mais date du voyage d'Agnès à Rome en 1065. Cela donne à penser que l'impératrice n'a ni abdiqué ni fui ses responsabilités, mais au contraire qu'elle a tenu sa place légitime de régente aussi longtemps que cela lui a été possible.
     "Mechthild Black-Veldtrup a rédigé une critique historique des sources à propos d'Agnès du Poitou, dans laquelle elle résume les nombreuses nouvelles connaissances sur l'impératrice, modifiant profondément son image (2006).
     "Tilmann Struve et Mechthild Black-Veldtrup ont réussi, avec de nouvelles méthodes de datation et un travail critique sur les sources, à remettre en question les opinions des chercheurs et à les corriger sur des points qui ne sont nullement secondaires. Cependant les recherches sur Agnès du Poitou sont loin d'être épuisées, il reste à éclaircir bien des points de sa vie, comme ce coup de force de Kaiserswerth, près de Düsseldorf, toujours obscur…
Le mariage d'Agnès avec Henri III
Une famille puissante
     "Agnès est la fille de Guillaume V, duc d'Aquitaine et comte de Poitiers et de sa troisième épouse, Agnès de Bourgogne.
Mariage politique
     "Agnès, fille de Guillaume duc d'Aquitaine et comte de Poitou, fut couronnée reine à Mayence en 1043 par Bardo de Mayence3 et, en novembre de la même année, elle épousa Henri III à Ingelheim.
     "Agnès, à cette date, avait tout au plus 18 ans, et elle devait être une jeune fille tendre, instruite et pleine d'une profonde piété. C'est ainsi que l'abbaye de Cluny était une fondation de sa famille et Hugo, son abbé, devait être plus tard le parrain de l'héritier du trône, le futur Henri IV, et devenir le confident intime de la famille impériale.
     "Henri avait choisi Agnès comme épouse après que sa première femme, Gunhild, fut morte du paludisme. Ce mariage présentait surtout pour lui des avantages politiques en affermissant son pouvoir. Une alliance avec la dynastie française qui était peut-être la plus puissante renforçait la pression sur la royauté française et était de nature à améliorer la position d'Henri en Bourgogne, puisque là aussi la famille d'Agnès avait de riches possessions.
     "Tous deux furent couronnés empereur et impératrice le 25 décembre 1046 à Rome4.
Vie d'impératrice
     "La vie de cour joyeuse et les festins ne plaisaient guère au couple royal qui avait une notion très claire de ses devoirs religieux. C'est ainsi que ménestrels et jongleurs, qui normalement ne manquaient à aucune fête du Moyen Âge, n'eurent pas l'autorisation de venir au mariage pour montrer leurs talents5. Tout ce qui entourait les souverains devait être empreint de sérieux et de dignité.
     "Henri s'enthousiasma pour l'idée de la Trêve de Dieu (Treuga Dei) qui était apparue en France et il s'efforça de mettre fin au droit du plus fort et aux vengeances privées6. Il se heurta à des résistances mais il était trop puissant pour que ses adversaires pussent agir efficacement contre lui. Cependant sa veuve devait rencontrer plus tard les mêmes problèmes.
     "En 1047 elle assiste à la première canonisation d'une femme. Sainte Wiborada par le pape Clément II7.
     "On peut croire qu'Agnès encouragea Henri dans sa conception religieuse de l'autorité, qu'elle soutint et même inspira son action dans sa politique de réforme religieuse ; du vivant de son mari, malgré tout, elle n'eut aucune occasion d'intervenir activement dans la politique. Ses fonctions étaient surtout représentatives : l'épouse et la mère occupaient le premier rang.
Mort d'Henri III et maintien au pouvoir
     "Après la mort de son mari, dont elle avait été très proche (ce qui ne caractérisait peut-être pas le comportement médiéval), ce fut à Agnès que revint le soin d'assurer la régence que le roi défunt lui avait confiée sur son lit de mort au nom de leur fils Henri IV, qui était encore mineur. Elle essaya bien au début de continuer la politique de son mari, mais se heurta à des résistances considérables dans l'Empire, particulièrement en Saxe ; la situation ayant changé, on ne pouvait plus suivre les mêmes principes, il fallait s'adapter, trouver un moyen pour garder l'héritage d'Henri III à leur fils et à la dynastie salienne.
     "Après la mort d'Henri III le 5 octobre 10568, Agnès prit la régence au nom d'Henri IV, mineur, mais déjà couronné. Au début, elle continua la politique de son mari en s'appuyant surtout sur Hugues de Cluny et le pape Victor II. Ce dernier, en tant qu'évêque d'Eichstätt et administrateur de l'Empire, faisait tout ce qu'il pouvait pour maintenir le pouvoir des Franconiens, issu de Conrad le Salique. L'impératrice, comme son époux Henri III, était du côté des réformateurs de l'église clunisienne, tandis que Hugues de Cluny, le parrain de son fils, qui était l'abbé de Cluny, centre de la réforme, menait une politique d'équilibre et de paix. Le pape Victor II9, qui devait la tiare à Henri III, jouait les bons offices entre la couronne, la noblesse et l'épiscopat. De cette façon la régence de l'impératrice, femme sans expérience politique, était acceptée, même si une loyauté complète était loin d'être garantie du côté des grands de l'Empire. La régence semblait n'avoir rien à craindre.
     "Pourtant, le pouvoir dans l'Empire échappait de plus en plus aux mains de la maison salienne, puisqu'Agnès n'avait pas encore réussi à s'imposer politiquement. Dans l'Empire, biens et droits passaient des mains de la noblesse dans celles de l'Église impériale, ce qui affaiblissait le pouvoir des Brunonen et des Billunger et créait de sérieux problèmes en Saxe. « Au vrai, on ne parle pas après 1057 de graves désordres ou de révoltes, mais sur les questions politiques essentielles, la régence se contentait de réagir au lieu de diriger les événements. Le danger croissait que les grands de l'Empire s'habituassent à se passer d'un roi. »
     "L'impératrice était bien forcée d'agir. Comme son autorité n'était pas aussi grande que celle d'Henri III, elle commença bientôt à s'attacher les nobles en leur concédant en fiefs des duchés, ce qui n'était pas possible sans leur accorder des droits seigneuriaux directs. Dès Noël 1056 elle attribuait déjà à l'Ezzon Konrad le duché de Carinthie, qui pendant un an était resté vacant10. En 1057 Rudolf von Rheinfelden fut pourvu de la Souabe et devait aussi régir la Bourgogne. Berthold von Zähringen, qui avait rappelé son droit sur le prochain duché vacant, se sentit lésé et reçut en 1061 la Carinthie, après la mort du duc Konrad. Frutolf von Michelsberg, un chroniqueur de l'époque, nous apprend dans sa Chronique du Monde que Rudolf von Rheinfelden avait extorqué l'attribution de la Souabe en enlevant Mathilde, la fille de l'empereur qui n'avait que 12 ans, et en se mariant deux ans plus tard avec elle. Mathilde était un gage qui pesait plus que promesse de la Souabe faite par Henri III, puisque Berthold von Zähringen pouvait maintenant l'appuyer sur une alliance avec l'empereur.
     "En 1061 les difficultés de la politique extérieure, entre autres le différend avec la Hongrie, contraignirent l'impératrice à se dessaisir aussi de la Bavière, qui était le dernier duché relevant encore directement de la maison royale et le plus important de l'Allemagne du Sud. Elle nomma duc le comte saxon Otto von Northeim, chef de guerre expérimenté. C'est à lui qu'incomberait désormais la défense du sud-est de l'Empire.
     "Évidemment les ducs ainsi créés étaient destinés à devenir les pires ennemis d'Henri IV, mais comment le reprocher à Agnès ? Il lui fallait bien faire quelque chose pour apaiser l'opposition de la noblesse à sa personne. Les historiens continuent cependant à lui reprocher qu'en diminuant la puissance des Saliens et en distribuant à tout de bras les duchés elle ait fortement diminué les pouvoirs de la royauté.
     "Pour le moment Otto von Northeim agissait exactement comme l'avait voulu la maison salienne. Comme l'avait souhaité Agnès, il protégeait efficacement l'empire contre les menaces extérieures, et faisait jeu égal avec la Hongrie, ce que n'avait pas réussi Henri III pendant sa vie. Les historiens le décrivent comme un homme d'action.
     "L'exemple de la Bavière confirme que, quand elle distribuait les duchés, Agnès n'avait pas le choix. Les voisins orientaux, en tout premier lieu la Hongrie, représentaient pour l'empire un danger qu'on ne pouvait sous-estimer, et pour Agnès, la régente de fait, il ne lui était pas légalement possible de conduire des expéditions. Elle avait besoin à ses côtés de ducs puissants, comme c'était le cas en Bavière avec Otto von Northeim. Sûrement, Agnès aurait pu empêcher les Zähringer, les Rheinfelder et les Northeimer de donner à leur pouvoir une base aussi forte, mais l'élévation de ces trois hommes jeunes, appartenant à de jeunes dynasties, était peut-être à cette date un moindre mal, un risque calculé.
Le début des années 1060 : la situation politique s'aggrave
     "Dans un empire garanti pour l'instant au-dedans comme au dehors, Agnès semblait respectée. Les concessions qu'elle avait faites avaient beau être énormes, on lui assura par serment que, si le trône devenait vacant, c'est-à-dire en cas de mort prématurée d'Henri IV dont le frère, Konrad, était déjà décédé en 1055, elle aurait le droit de désigner elle-même son successeur, c'est-à-dire que les Électeurs seraient obligés d'accepter le nom qu'elle proposerait.
     "Une telle obligation par serment (le principal engagement entre personnes au Moyen Âge) montre qu'Agnès était désormais considérée par tous les partis dans l'Empire comme la souveraine légitime. Sans son consentement, aucun nouveau roi ne pourrait être proclamé par les princes. Le sérieux d'un tel serment fut mis en évidence par les scrupules des princes lors de l'élection d'un antiroi contre Henri IV, en 1076.
     "La mort du pape Victor II, son conseiller et son ami, en 1057, fut un tournant pour la régente. Agnès perdait le contact avec ceux qui voulaient réformer l'Église. Ses intérêts et les leurs commençaient à n'être plus les mêmes. L'ère des Empereurs fidèles au Pape prenait fin.
     "Beatrix, la belle-fille d'Agnès, qui patronnait la riche abbaye de Gandersheim en Saxe se vit reprocher par le chapitre des dames nobles, qui se recrutait principalement dans la noblesse saxonne, d'abandonner aux ministériels les biens de la fondation et de compromettre ainsi la subsistance des chanoinesses. Victor II avait encore tranché en faveur de Beatrix. Le légat du nouveau pape Étienne IX réétudia l'affaire et décida en faveur du chapitre. C'était un coup pour le prestige et le pouvoir des Saliens en Saxe. Étienne IX avait déjà été élu en 1057 sans que la régente fût consultée et elle avait mis du temps à le reconnaître ; après la mort du pape, le 29 mars 1058, l'aristocratie romaine sentit qu'elle avait une chance d'influencer l'élection du nouveau pape et, dès le 5 avril 1058, fit élire Benoît X. Ce n'est qu'après le retour du légat du pape, Hildebrandt, qui à ce moment ne se trouvait pas en Italie, qu'avec le consentement de l'impératrice l'évêque Gérard de Florence fut élu pape à Sienne sous le nom de Nicolas II.
     "C'était bel et bien le schisme et Nicolas II fut contraint de s'ouvrir par les armes la route de Rome ; mais la lutte tourna en sa faveur.
     "Les grandes décisions politiques hors de l'Empire, comme l'élection du pape Étienne IX, se firent de plus en plus sans que les Saliens eussent rien à dire. C'est ainsi qu'en 1059 le pape Nicolas II promulgua le décret concernant l'élection des papes sans avoir consulté l'impératrice. Par ce décret, l'élection du pape était confiée aux cardinaux. Mesure dirigée autant contre l'empire que contre l'aristocratie romaine. Dans l'Empire même les intrigues politiques et les luttes pour le pouvoir étaient toujours à l'ordre du jour. « Chacun voulait s'élever encore plus haut ou au moins y songeait. » Agnès était littéralement écartelée entre les contraintes politiques et ses propres intérêts.
     "Certains conseillers de l'impératrice commençaient à penser d'abord à leurs propres intérêts, ce qui l'incitait à se fier toujours davantage aux personnes appartenant aux services royaux, c'est-à-dire aux ministériels. Ainsi, elle chargea le ministériel Kuno de l'éducation de son fils en même temps qu'Otnand, déjà partisan fidèle d'Henri III, s'élevait au premier plan de la politique.
     "Et c'est précisément leur zèle à servir les intérêts de la couronne qui provoqua une opposition contre l'impératrice qui donnait sa confiance à « des gens issus de rien ». On alla jusqu'à insulter Otnand en l'appelant « Orcus ille », chien d'enfer.
     "Que le jeune Henri IV fût élevé par des personnages d'aussi basse condition paraissait au plus haut point scandaleux à la noblesse et au clergé. Plongée dans un dilemme, Agnès prit l'évêque Heinrich d'Augsbourg comme son conseiller personnel.
     "Un nouveau problème se présenta quand l'impératrice fut soupçonnée d'amour illicite avec Heinrich d'Augsbourg, car on pensa généralement qu'elle ne pouvait pas mettre en lui une telle confiance sans qu'il y eût quelque chose entre eux. Les chercheurs nous peignent l'atmosphère de la cour au début des années soixante du xie siècle comme particulièrement agitée et bouillonnante d'intrigues, d'hostilités, de jalousies et de coups bas. Mais les processus qui devaient finalement plonger l'empire dans une crise et conduire Agnès à vouloir se retirer de la politique n'étaient pas encore enclenchés.
Conflit pour l'élection du pape
     "En 1060 Agnès demanda le pallium (insigne de la dignité archiépiscopale) pour l'évêque, Siegfried Ier de Mayence. Nicolas II refusa. Alors, réunis dans un synode, les évêques de l'Empire déclarèrent invalides toutes les dispositions de Nicolas II pour montrer leur mécontentement.
     "Après la mort de Nicolas II le 19 juillet 1061, les cardinaux usèrent de leur nouvelle prérogative et le 30 septembre 1061 ils choisirent comme pape l'évêque réformateur Anselme de Lucca, qui prit le nom d'Alexandre II11. Agnès refusa alors de le reconnaître, et lui opposa son propre candidat, l'évêque de Parme Cadalus. C'était un nouvel échelon dans le conflit qui couvait déjà sous Nicolas II entre la cour et la papauté réformatrice.
     "L'élection de Cadalus, devenu l'antipape Honorius II le 28 octobre 1061 à Bâle, n'était donc que « la continuation logique de la politique romaine d'Henri III. »
     "Dès l'élection cependant, le petit nombre de ceux qui y avaient participé avait clairement montré à l'impératrice qu'elle ne pouvait pas compter dans l'Empire sur un soutien inconditionnel pour faire triompher son candidat. Elle pouvait bien tenter d'imposer Honorius envers et contre tout, elle se rendait bien compte que s'accrocher à la décision qu'elle avait prise non seulement porterait un coup mortel à la politique de réforme commencée par Henri III, mais encore qu'on allait au schisme, un schisme qui devait durer deux ans et demi.
     "La cour germanique se retrouvait donc adversaire de la papauté réformatrice et l'impératrice portait la responsabilité dans la division de l'Église. L'affaire prenait un tour qui n'était absolument pas dans les desseins d'Agnès.
     "Cette élection de Bâle marque une cassure dans la régence de l'impératrice. Dans le gouvernement de l'Empire la barre semblait lui échapper des mains. En particulier le fait qu'Honorius II n'avait pas su s'imposer à Rome et avait dû au bout du compte revenir dans son évêché de Parme était pour Agnès un grave échec politique. Pour la première fois, un pape nommé par la cour impériale n'avait pas été capable de s'imposer.
     "Elle jouissait bien sûr du soutien des adversaires de la réforme, mais c'était là ce qui devait durant toute sa vie la remplir d'un sentiment de culpabilité et la mettre mal à l'aise. Pourtant on ne saurait lui reprocher d'avoir, par faiblesse personnelle, adopté une politique ecclésiastique contraire à celle de son mari. C'est que les temps avaient changé. Par ses réformes la papauté s'était émancipée du pouvoir impérial contre les intérêts de laquelle elle agissait désormais. Mise au pied du mur, Agnès se décida contre sa conviction personnelle, elle agit comme devait le faire une régente : elle prit le parti de l'Empire et de ses dignitaires. Il semble qu'elle ne voyait aucun autre choix pour elle que de se retirer de la politique pour laisser à d'autres la possibilité de reprendre à zéro la question de la papauté sans tenir compte de ses propres décisions. C'est directement en relation avec le conflit sur le choix du pape que, selon M. Black-Veldtrup, doit être considérée la prise de voile d'Agnès à Spire, ce qui comme conséquence logique conduisit à l'installation comme vice-régent de l'évêque Heinrich d'Augsbourg en qui elle avait confiance. Par conséquent non seulement la retraite d'Agnès peut s'expliquer parce qu'elle était fatiguée de gouverner ou trop faible, mais on doit la placer dans son contexte : c'était la conséquence de ses erreurs d'appréciation dans sa politique vis-à-vis de Rome.
Le coup d'État de Kaiserswerth
     "La décision d'Agnès de se retirer de la politique est, de façon très probable, une prise de conscience de sa responsabilité personnelle dans cette crise au sujet de l'élection du pape. L'impératrice voulait laisser la voie libre pour un règlement définitif de la question avec la participation de la Cour12.
     "Mais rien de cela ne se produisit du fait qu'Henri d'Augsbourg, le vice-régent mis en place par Agnès, n'était pas accepté par la majorité des princes. Sa nomination à un tel poste constituait peut-être la deuxième grave erreur d'appréciation de l'impératrice, surtout en raison de la liaison qu'on leur avait imputée (voir plus haut).
     "Cette tentative d'Agnès de limiter les dégâts précipitait définitivement au bout du compte l'empire dans la crise. Au début d'avril 1062, un groupe de seigneurs spirituels et temporels, sous la direction de Anno II, l'archevêque de Cologne, réussit à enlever le jeune roi Henri IV à Kaiserswerth : cet événement devait rester dans les livres d'histoire comme le coup d'État de Kaiserswerth.
     "Les motifs de cette action sont encore débattus, du fait surtout que les sources se contredisent beaucoup là-dessus. L'opinion des chroniqueurs de l'époque est divisée. Ainsi, la chronique de Lambert semble encore relativement objective quand il écrit que les ravisseurs, et avant tout Anno, aspiraient « à soustraire le fils à l'influence de sa mère, et à prendre en mains l'administration de l'empire13. » Lambert ne hasarde aucune spéculation sur les motifs qui ont fait agir les conspirateurs. Il indique seulement la possibilité qu'ils auraient pu être poussés par « la rancune politique », mais il est aussi possible qu'ils aient pu croire agir pour le bien de l'Empire.
     "Bruno fait plus ou moins retomber sur Henri la responsabilité de son propre enlèvement : infatué de l'orgueil d'être roi, l'adolescent n'aurait plus écouté que d'une oreille les mises en garde de sa mère. Le « respectable » Anno après l'enlèvement le fait éduquer avec le plus grand soin. Selon Bruno, Agnès n'aurait absolument pas eu l'autorité nécessaire, et elle se serait montrée trop faible pour éduquer correctement le jeune roi et assurer la régence, tandis que Bruno félicite Anno pour sa politique. Cette critique envers Henri IV s'explique par le fait que Bruno ne devait pas approuver par la suite la politique personnelle de son souverain, si bien qu'il s'attache à lui trouver des traits de caractère négatifs dès sa jeunesse14. Il est manifeste que, politiquement, il ne se trouvait pas non plus du côté d'Agnès.
     "Bien que les sources ne nous donnent rien de sûr quant aux motifs qui ont fait agir les ravisseurs, la recherche actuelle part du fait que la lutte pour le pouvoir (en particulier chez Anno de Cologne) mais aussi le souci de l'éducation d'Henri IV qu'on jugeait abandonné étaient des éléments décisifs. Agnès se voyait privée du pouvoir de gouverner, en fait elle ne pouvait plus rien. L'archevêque Anno de Cologne et l'archevêque Adalbert de Brême se partageaient la responsabilité des affaires. Bien que le jeune roi fût assis sur le trône, c'est à eux qu'appartenait désormais le destin de l'Empire.
     "Anno et Adalbert devinrent bien vite des adversaires irréconciliables, mais l'archevêque de Brême s'était hâté d'établir des rapports de confiance avec le jeune roi, tandis qu'Anno se sentait avant tout politiquement lié au parti de la réforme religieuse et réussissait rapidement à s'entendre avec Rome puisqu'il était capable de faire reconnaître par l'Empire le pape réformateur Alexandre II.
     "Au fond, Anno était ainsi arrivé à ce règlement de la question pontificale qu'Agnès avait espéré. On suppose en général qu'Agnès, libérée à présent de la responsabilité des affaires, n'a pas tardé à renoncer complètement à la vie mondaine pour se consacrer au salut de son âme.
     "Cette opinion provient de recherches déjà anciennes de Meier-Kronau, Giesebrecht et Buhlst-Thiele. Cependant, Tilmann Struve s'appuie sur le fait que ce n'est que trois ans après Kaiserswerth qu'elle a entrepris son voyage à Rome et s'est retirée du monde. Il y aurait donc eu des raisons politiques. Ce qui réfuterait cette vision de l'impératrice se retirant timidement du monde torturée par ses scrupules.
Agnès après Kaiserswerth
     "Longtemps les chercheurs ont accepté l'idée qu'Agnès se fût retirée du monde immédiatement après Kaiserswerth ; il n'y a pas là de quoi s'étonner puisque c'est ce que nous ont transmis beaucoup de chroniqueurs contemporains. C'est ce que raconte entre autres dès 1056 Frutolf de Michelsberg dans sa Chronique du monde, en résumant ainsi les événements : l'impératrice se serait rendue directement à Fruttuaria après qu'on lui eut pris son fils et serait morte plus tard à Rome.
     "Il semble cependant qu'une telle opinion ait été révisée entre-temps. Tilmann Struve a établi de façon claire et scientifiquement correcte qu'Agnès a entrepris son voyage à Rome, qui signifiait qu'elle se retirait du monde, non en 1062/63, mais seulement en 1065, c'est-à-dire 3 ans après le coup d'État de Kaiserswerth. Pour cette chronologie Struve utilise surtout les rapports de Petrus Damiani, un fidèle d'Agnès qui dans ses écrits a parlé entre autres de son arrivée à Rome.
     "Comme Damiani, lui non plus, ne fournit aucune datation exacte, Struve compare toutes les sources connues, ce qui lui permet d'établir à quelle date aussi bien Petrus Damiani que l'impératrice Agnès se sont arrêtés à Rome. Par la suite Struve compare les éclipses de lune que rapporte Damiani, qui les met en relation avec l'empereur Henri III et le pape Victor II, et une éclipse totale qui, toujours selon Damiani, aurait correspondu au schisme de Cadalus, les dates de toutes ces éclipses étant scientifiquement vérifiables. Struve en vient alors à la conclusion que le voyage à Rome de l'impératrice ne peut avoir eu lieu qu'en mai ou en novembre 1065. Il est vrai Agnès, tout de suite après Kaiserswerth, a écrit à l'abbé du monastère de Fruttuaria pour lui demander d'être accueillie dans la communauté monastique, mais Lampert d'Hersfeld nous apprend, de façon concordante, qu'Agnès a été convaincue par ses conseillers de rester pour l'instant dans l'Empire.
     "D'un point de vue politique, le fait Agnès restât dans l'Empire était nécessaire bien qu'elle eût perdu la régence : jusqu'à la majorité d'Henri IV, c'était elle le chef de la maison salienne. Ce n'est qu'en restant sur place qu'elle pouvait la maintenir pour son fils et ainsi lui assurer l'Empire. Si la situation était telle, la relation de Lampert apparaît dans son contexte légal et gagne en authenticité : Agnès aurait donc, poussée par ses conseillers, abandonné son idée de se retirer dans un cloître. Dès qu'Henri IV fut devenu majeur le 29 mars 1065, par la cérémonie où on lui fit ceindre l'épée, Agnès put obéir à son long désir de finir sa vie dans la piété. Après s'être acquittée de ses devoirs politiques jusqu'à la majorité de son fils et lui avoir garanti de succéder à son père, elle prit la décision de servir la réforme de la papauté à laquelle elle avait nui en faisant élire un antipape contre ses propres convictions religieuses.
Bilan
     "Même si la fin de la régence d'Agnès a été regardée pendant des siècles comme une faillite (et elle l'est encore), un tel jugement n'est peut-être pas absolument sûr. À juger l'ensemble, la politique de l'impératrice doit être considérée en gros comme réussie, et sa retraite a été mûrement choisie en fonction de la situation politique de l'Empire. C'est ainsi que même des contemporains reconnaissent qu'elle s'est toujours efforcée d'obtenir un équilibre politique. Elle a réussi à assurer la stabilité de l'Empire et surtout à jeter les bases du pouvoir d'Henri IV.
     "Les querelles d'Henri III contre les Saxons n'ont pas été reprises par Agnès. Elle a plutôt cherché à s'arranger avec eux, ce que confirme le fait que de 1057 jusqu'à la fin de la régence d'Agnès on ne relève pas de troubles en Saxe. De même elle a évité une confrontation avec la Hongrie. L'attribution de duchés pris au domaine royal lui a procuré à l'intérieur une stabilité politique, ce qui a permis par contrecoup le renforcement de l'Empire à l'extérieur. Ainsi, c'est seulement à partir des années 1960 que l'on connaît des exemples concrets de mécontentement contre son gouvernement ; jusque-là elle avait donc quand même pu, au début avec l'aide du pape Victor II, gouverner de façon presque incontestée. On lui reproche une longue querelle pour des raisons personnelles avec l'évêque Gunther de Bamberg, la préférence qu'elle donnait à l'évêque Henri d'Augsbourg, ses insuffisances dans l'éducation de son fils et sa trop grande retenue dans la conduite des affaires, mais tout cela s'explique par la conscience qu'elle avait d'être responsable du schisme provoqué par le choix de l'antipape Cadalus. Reconnaissant ses responsabilités pour avoir mal estimé la situation politique et créé des dissensions entre les partisans de la réforme de l'Église et l'Empire elle avait décidé de prendre le voile. Le coup d'État de Kaiserswerth suivit peu après.
     "L'élévation de Henri d'Augsbourg au poste de vice-régent n'avait que peu affecté la position d'Agnès. Anno de Cologne n'avait pris en fin de compte que la place de son collègue d'Augsbourg en tant que régent et éducateur effectif du jeune roi. Pendant son administration, celle d'Anno de Cologne et celle d'Adalbert de Brême, Agnès a pu se consacrer à la restitution des biens aliénés et à la nomination des évêques. Son départ d'Allemagne en mai ou en novembre 1065 n'est pas dû à Kaiserswerth, mais en fin de compte seulement à ce conflit de 1061 sur l'élection du pape, qui est à l'origine de tous les autres événements.
     "Agnès d'Aquitaine était une femme remarquable, qui a exercé avec habileté la tâche que lui avait laissée son mari d'administrer et de maintenir l'Empire pour leur fils Henri. En tant que femme elle ne pouvait être ni un chef d'armée ni un juge, ce qu'aurait été un homme dans sa situation, elle n'en a pas moins agi en sachant ce qu'elle voulait, avec énergie et habileté. Alors qu'elle n'avait pas d'expérience politique, elle a conservé les assises du pouvoir pour son fils et a essayé d'adapter la politique de la dynastie salienne à ces conditions qui n'étaient plus les mêmes dans un temps ou tout changeait, surtout en ce qui concerne la politique ecclésiastique. Agnès a dû remplir sa tâche sans y avoir été préparée et sous la pression des circonstances. Elle devait tenir compte d'un grand nombre de facteurs et il était inévitable qu'elle consentît bien des compromis. Toutes ses décisions n'ont pas été heureuses, qu'on pense aux problèmes qu'Henri IV rencontrera par la suite, mais elle agissait probablement en toute conscience pour le bien de l'Empire. Elle a rempli la tâche qui lui était assignée, ni plus ni moins. La fermeté qu'elle y a montrée est toutefois remarquable.

Per Wikipedia:
     "Agnes of Poitou, also called Agnes of Aquitaine or Empress Agnes (c.?1025 – 14 December 1077), a member of the House of Poitiers, was German queen from 1043 and Holy Roman Empress from 1046 until 1056. From 1056 to 1061 she acted as Regent of the Holy Roman Empire during the minority of her son Henry IV.
Family
     "She was the daughter of the Ramnulfid duke William V of Aquitaine (d. 1030)[1] and Agnes of Burgundy. She thereby was the sister of Duke William VI of Aquitaine, Duke Odo of Gascony, Duke William VII, and Duke William VIII of Aquitaine. Her maternal grandparents were Count Otto-William of Burgundy and Ermentrude of Rheims, daughter of Renaud of Roucy.
Marriage and children
     "Agnes married King Henry III of Germany in November 1043[Note 1] at the Imperial Palace Ingelheim.[2] She was his second wife[1] after Gunhilda of Denmark, who had died, possibly from malaria, in 1038.[3] This marriage helped to solidify the Empire's relationships with the princely houses in the west.[1] King Henry was able to improve his position versus the French royal dynasty and to exert his influence in the Duchy of Burgundy. Agnes, like her husband, was of profound piety, her family had founded Cluny Abbey and Abbot Hugh the Great was godfather of her son Henry IV.
     "Their children were:
** Adelaide II (1045, Goslar – 11 January 1096), abbess of Gandersheim from 1061 and Quedlinburg from 1063
** Gisela (1047, Ravenna – 6 May 1053)
** Matilda (October 1048 – 12 May 1060, Pöhlde), married 1059 Rudolf of Rheinfelden, duke of Swabia and antiking (1077)
** Henry, his successor[1]
** Conrad II (1052, Regensburg – 10 April 1055), Duke of Bavaria (from 1054)
** Judith (1054, Goslar – 14 March 1092 or 1096), married firstly 1063 Solomon of Hungary and secondly 1089 Ladislaus I Herman, Duke of Poland

Role as regent
     "After her husband's death on 5 October 1056, Agnes served as regent on behalf of her young son, Henry IV.[4] Henry III had secured the election of his son as King of the Romans on his deathbed. Agnes, aided by Hugh of Cluny and Pope Victor II, also Bishop of Eichstätt, tried to continue her husband's politics and to reinforce the rule of the Salian dynasty. However, despite being related to kings of Italy and Burgundy, she was a controversial leader.[5]
     "In order to forge alliances, she would give away three German duchies:[1] already on Christmas 1056, the Ezzonid scion Conrad III, a nephew of Count palatine Ezzo of Lotharingia, received the princeless Duchy of Carinthia.
     "The next year she enfeoffed Rudolf of Rheinfelden with Swabia, appointed him administrator of Burgundy and offered him the hand of her daughter Matilda. According to the medieval chronicler Frutolf of Michelsberg, Rudolf had possibly abducted her and extorted the betrothment. However, the late Henry III had promised the Swabian duchy to Berthold of Zähringen, who in turn had to be compensated with Carinthia upon Conrad's death in 1061.
     "At the same time, while German forces interfered in the fratricidal struggle of King Andrew I and Béla I of Hungary, Agnes ceded the Duchy of Bavaria to Count Otto of Nordheim. He reached a settlement with Hungary by enforcing the coronation of Andrew's son Solomon but later became a bitter rival of her son Henry IV.
     "Though initially a follower of the Cluniac Reforms, Agnes opposed the contemporary papal reform movement, and took the side of Italian dissidents who did as well.[1] Things had worsened after the death of Pope Victor II in 1057: his successor Stephen IX, who was unable to take actual possession of Rome due to the Roman aristocracy's election of an antipope, Benedict X, sent Hildebrand of Sovana and Anselm of Lucca (respectively, the future Popes Gregory VII and Alexander II) to Germany to obtain recognition from dowager empress Agnes in her role as regent.
     "Though Stephen died before being able to return to Rome, Agnes' help was instrumental in letting Hildebrand depose the Antipope [6] and with Agnes' support replace him by the Bishop of Florence, Nicholas II. However, on Easter 1059 Nicholas issued the papal bull In nomine Domini establishing the cardinals as the sole electors of the pope, detrimental to the interests of the emperor and the temporal empire.
     "When Pope Alexander II was elected on 30 September 1061, Agnes refused to acknowledge him and had Antipope Honorius II elected; a schism that did not end until Pentecost 1064. The empress' candidate could not prevail against the Roman Curia; in consequence, Agnes retired from politics, leaving the regency to her confidant Bishop Henry II of Augsburg.

; Per Genealogics:
     "Hermann I is the first member of the house of Werl for whom some reliable data are available. It remains unclear whether the Hermann mentioned in connection with the convent of Meschede about 913 was his grandfather, or whether a Heinrich mentioned in 947 and in 955 was his father. Possibly a Bernhard, who held countship rights over the Hellweg and in North Rhine Westphalia, was his brother.
     "The sources for Hermann are sparse. Even in his time the counts of Werl were probably already stewards of the abbey of Werden. He also had his seat in Werl. There is only one document in which Otto granted, at the request of his wife Theophano (Skleraina), to the abbess Thiezswid of Meschede the court of Völlinghausen and its related possessions in the district of Engern in Hermann's county. Hermann was a supporter of the emperor. The emperor's agreement to the donation of the court in Völlinghausen to the house of Werl's convent of Meschede could have been a reward for Hermann's assistance in the victory over Otto's cousin Heinrich II 'der Zanker', Herzog von Bayern.
     "He was probably present at the court in Dortmund in 978, when conflict broke out between Otto II and his mother Aelis (Adelheid) de Bourgogne, who had sided with Lothar I, king of France, when he invaded Lorraine and occupied Aachen, forcing Otto to leave. Adelheid left the imperial court for the court of her brother Konrad I, king of Burgundy. Around this time Hermann also came into contact with the Burgundian court. He may have accompanied the emperor's mother there.
     "This relationship led to his marriage about 978 or 979 with Gerberge de Bourgogne, Konrad's daughter with Mahaut de France. The marriage is only confirmed a little later by indirect sources, especially the Quedlinburg Annals. The slightly later _Annalista Saxo_ text gave the reference somewhat distorted, casting some doubt on the marriage. However today's research reveals no doubt over the marriage of Hermann and Gerberge.
     "Through his marriage, Hermann became a brother-in-law of Heinrich II 'der Zanker', Herzog von Bayern, married to Gerberge's half-sister Gisela de Bourgogne, and entered into a family connection with the imperial house (Heinrich's father Heinrich I was a brother of Otto II's father Emperor Otto I 'the Great'). Hermann and Gerberge had three sons, Hermann II, Bernhard and Rudolf or Ludolf, and a daughter Ida or Hitda who later became abbess of Meschede. It may have been she who made precious gifts to the abbey, including the Hitda Codex, when she took office. Hermann II and Rudolf are recorded as having progeny.
     "Hermann is believed to have been the Count Hermann who travelled with Emperor Otto II to Italy in 983. After Otto's death in Rome that year this Hermann was working as a go-between who succeeded in settling the dispute within the royal family with Heinrich II 'der Zanker'. The likelihood that Hermann was the count of the same name is strengthened, inter alia, by the fact that the imperial court was in Soest in August 985, close to Werl. From there, the court moved to Wiedenbrück where Emperor Otto III, at the instigation of his mother the Dowager Empress Theophano, confirmed the previous privileges of the convent of Meschede. This can be seen as thanks for Hermann's efforts in imperial service.
     "Because Hermann was not specifically named as steward of Meschede, it is assumed that he had died shortly beforehand. About 988 Hermann's widow Gerberge married Hermann II, Herzog von Schwaben, with whom she had progeny."17 He was Count in the Rheingau.18

     "ANSELM [II] (-before [1019]). "Otto…imperator augustus" donated property "in pago Bibligouue in comitatu Anshelmi in villa Chupinga" to the bishopric of Chur in exchange for property "predii…Adalberto filio Liutuuardi…in pago Suerzza in comitatu Gotefridi in villa Alemuntinga" by charter dated 22 Apr 966[260]. "…Anselmus episcopus Augustensis…Anselmus pater Anselmi episcopi, Rotbertus frater eius…" witnessed the charter dated [1001/02] under which Rudolf III King of Burgundy confirmed a donation to Romainmotier[261]. A charter dated Jan 1006 records that "Vuillelmus de monte Ioveto" donated property to "S. Egidio" of which one was "in valle Mugnana", in which "Anselmus" held three parts and "Uldricus comes" held the fourth, and the other "in loco Intola" in which "Uldiricus comes" held two parts[262].
     "m ALDIUD, daughter of ---. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 19 Aug [1019] of "Burchardus sancta Viennensis archiepiscopus et Udolricus frater meus et advocatus meus" granted property "in pago Genevensi…in villa Marischa…a circio Lemani lacus" made "pro remedio animarum…genitore nostro Anselmo sive pro genetrice nostra Aaldui"[263]. A series of documents, including this charter, shows that Aldiud had been the mistress of Conrad I King of Burgundy, probably before her marriage to Anselm, and that she gave birth to Burchard Archbishop of Lyon by the king. This is established as follows. Firstly, the Chronicon Hugonis names the king’s son, the archbishop of Lyon, as "Burchardus, Rodulfi regis frater, Conradi ex concubina filius"[264]. Secondly, Burchard’s mother’s name is confirmed as Aldiud by a charter dated 14 Feb 1005, which records that "Burchardum Lugdunensem archiepiscopum" donated property "in loco Oponlongis infra comitatum Ottingen" which he had "ex patre matris suæ Aldiud quod rex Chuonradus ei præbuit" to Anselm bishop of Aosta[265]. Thirdly, the name of the father of Anselm Bishop of Aosta is confirmed as Anselm in the charter of Rudolf III King of Burgundy for Romainmotier dated [1001/02], which was witnessed by "…Anselmus episcopus Augustensis…Anselmus pater Anselmi episcopi…"[266]. Fourthly, a charter dated 1 Nov 1002, noted by Rivaz in his compiled index of Burgundian charters, confirms that Anselm Bishop of Aosta and Burchard Archbishop of Lyon were brothers: "Burchard archévêque de Lyon et abbé de Saint-Maurice" [Aldiud’s illegitimate son] granted property "dans les comtés de Valais et de Vaud" to "Gauslin", with the consent of "Anselme son frère évêque d'Aoste et prévôt de ladite abbaye"[267]. Fifthly, Anselm and Aldiud were also parents of Burchard Archbishop of Vienne and Udalrich his avocatus, as shown by the charter dated 19 Aug [1019] referred to above[268]. The conclusion therefore is that the only way in which Burchard Archbishop of Lyon could have been the brother of the three brothers Anselm, Burchard and Odalric is if they shared the same mother, who gave birth to them by different fathers. Aldiud’s relationship with the earliest counts of Savoy is indicated by Rodolfus Glauber who describes Burchard, son of Count Humbert "aux Blanches Mains", as nepos of Aldiud's illegitimate son[269]. This relationship is explained by Count Humbert's wife being the legitimate daughter of Anselm and Aldiud, as shown below. The Chronicon Hugonis specifies that the king’s son Burchard was appointed archbishop (dated to 978) when still a child[270]. This presumably dates Aldiud’s relationship to the King Conrad to [965/70], which is probably before she married Anselm."

; Per Genealogics: "Conrad was born about 925, the son of Rudolf II, king of Bourgogne, and Bertha von Schwaben. He was the king of Burgundy from his father's death in 937 until his own death. He is sometimes numbered as Conrad I as king of Burgundy and as Conrad III of Provence, since he inherited Provence in 948. There is no record of progeny with his first wife Adelania. In 964 he married Mahaut de France, daughter of Louis IV 'd'Outremer', king of France, and Gerberga von Sachsen. They had at least five children of whom Bertha and Gerberge would have progeny. With his third wife Adelaide de Bellay he had a daughter Gisela who would have progeny, marrying Heinrich II 'der Zanker', duke of Bavaria. Conrad's reign was peaceful and he was popular with his subjects. The only war in which he became involved was a simultaneous invasion by Saracens and Magyars in which he played them off against each other, then routed them in combat. He died on 19 October 993."9



; Per Med Lands:
     "CONRAD, son of RUDOLF II King of Upper Burgundy & his wife Berta of Swabia ([922/25]-Vienne 19 Oct 993, bur Vienne, cathédrale Saint-Maurice). He is named "Chuonradus rex filio Rodulfi" in his charter dated 23 Apr 943[155]. He succeeded his father in 937 as CONRAD I "le Pacifique" King of Burgundy. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records the death "XIV Kal Nov" of "regis Conradi" and his burial at Vienne[156].
     "m firstly ADELANE, daughter of --- ([935/40]-[23 Mar 963/[964]). "Adelane regine" is named in the charter of "Chuonradus rex" dated 23 Mar 963[157] but is not mentioned in his charter dated 8 Apr 962[158]. This suggests that she married after the latter date, but this would leave insufficient time for the birth of her supposed two children. Her birth date range is estimated based on the estimated birth date range of her daughter Gisela. Her origin is not known but Jackman suggests[159] that Adela was sister of "Konrad Duke of Alsace".
     "m secondly ([964]) MATHILDE de France, daughter of LOUIS IV "d'Outremer" King of the Franks & his wife Gerberga of Germany (end-943-26/27 Jan [981/992], bur Vienne, cathédrale Saint-Maurice). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the marriage of "rex Francorum Lotharius…sororem suam Mathildem" and "Conradus rex Burgundie"[160]. "Mathilde et Alberada" are named as daughters of "Gerberga" in the Continuator of Flodoard, which specifies that Mathilde was mother of "Rodulfus rex et Mathildis soror eius"[161]. Her brother, Lothaire King of the West Franks, arranged this marriage to strengthen his position in south-eastern France. Her dowry consisted of the counties of Lyon and Vienne[162]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records the death "VI Kal Dec" of "Mathildis uxor regis Conradi" and her burial at Vienne[163].
     "Mistress (1): ([965/70]) ALDIUD, wife of ANSELM, daughter of ---. The identity of King Conrad´s mistress is ascertained as follows. Firstly, as noted below, the Chronicon Hugonis names the king´s illegitimate son, archbishop of Lyon, as "Burchardus, Rodulfi regis frater, Conradi ex concubina filius"[164]. Secondly, Burchard´s mother´s name is confirmed as Aldiud by a charter dated 14 Feb 1005, which records that her son "Burchardum Lugdunensem archiepiscopum" donated property "in loco Oponlongis infra comitatum Ottingen" which he had "ex patre matris suæ Aldiud quod rex Chuonradus ei præbuit" to Anselm Bishop of Aosta[165]. Thirdly, the name of the father of Anselm Bishop of Aosta is confirmed as Anselm in the charter of Rudolf III King of Burgundy for Romainmotier dated [1001/02], which was witnessed by "…Anselmus episcopus Augustensis…Anselmus pater Anselmi episcopi…"[166]. Fourthly, a charter dated 1 Nov 1002, noted by Rivaz in his compiled index of Burgundian charters, confirms that Anselm Bishop of Aosta and Burchard Archbishop of Lyon were brothers: "Burchard archévêque de Lyon et abbé de Saint-Maurice" granted property "dans les comtés de Valais et de Vaud" to "Gauslin", with the consent of "Anselme son frère évêque d'Aoste et prévôt de ladite abbaye"[167]. Fifthly, Anselm and Aldiud were also parents of Burchard Archbishop of Vienne and Udalrich his advocatus, as shown by a charter dated 19 Aug [1019] of "Burchardus sancta Viennensis archiepiscopus et Udolricus frater meus et advocatus meus" which granted property "in pago Genevensi…in villa Marischa…a circio Lemani lacus" made "pro remedio animarum…genitore nostro Anselmo sive pro genetrice nostra Aaldui"[168]. The conclusion therefore is that the only way in which Burchard Archbishop of Lyon could have been the brother of the three brothers Anselm, Burchard and Odalric is if they shared the same mother, who gave birth to them by different fathers. Aldiud´s relationship with the early counts of Savoy is indicated by Rodolfus Glauber who describes Burchard, son of Count Humbert "aux Blanches Mains", as nepos of Aldiud's illegitimate son[169]. This relationship is explained by Count Humbert's wife being the legitimate daughter of Anselm and Aldiud. The Chronicon Hugonis specifies that Burchard was appointed archbishop (dated to 978) when still a child[170]. This presumably dates Aldiud´s relationship to the King Conrad to [965/70], which was probably before she married Anselm.

     "Conrad I, called the Peaceful (French: Conrad le Pacifique; c.? 925 – 19 October 993), a member of the Elder House of Welf, was King of Burgundy (Kingdom of Arles) from 937 until his death.
Life
     "He was the son of King Rudolph II, the first ruler over the united territories of Upper and Lower Burgundy since 933, and his consort Bertha, a daughter of Duke Burchard II of Swabia.[1] Some sources call him Conrad III, since he was the third Conrad in his family: his great-grandfather was Duke Conrad II, whose father was Count Conrad I.
     "According to the chronicler Ekkehard IV, in a story that is probably apocryphal, when Conrad learned that both the Magyars and the Saracens of Fraxinetum were marching against him, he sent envoys to both armies warning them of the other. The envoys offered Burgundian aid to each invader against the other and then informed them of the other's whereabouts. When the Magyars and Saracens met, the Burgundians held back and only attacked when the opposing forces were spent. In this way, both invading armies were destroyed and the captives sold into slavery.[2][3]
     "He married firstly, Adelaide of Bellay. They were parents to at least one daughter:[4]
** Gisela (– 21 July 1006), married Henry II, Duke of Bavaria[5]

     "He married Matilda by 966,[4] daughter of Louis IV of France and Gerberga of Saxony.[5] They had at least four children:
** Bertha (964 – 16 January 1016), married Odo I, Count of Blois, and then Robert II of France[5]
** Matilda (born 969), possibly married Robert, Count of Geneva
** Rudolph (971 – 6 September 1032)[5]
** Gerberga (born 965), married Herman II, Duke of Swabia[5]

     "By his concubine, Aldiud, he had a son:
** Burchard, Archbishop of Lyons[6]

     "Henry of Speyer (German: Heinrich von Speyer, also Heinrich von Worms; c.?970 – 989/992), a member of the Salian dynasty, was count in the Rhenish Franconian Wormsgau. He was the father of Emperor Conrad II.
     "According to the 977 donation deed of Lambrecht Abbey, Henry was the eldest son of Count Otto von Worms (d. 1004), Duke of Carinthia from 978 to 983 and again from 995, and his wife Judith.[1] He married Adelaide of Metz (d. 1039/46),[1] a sister of the Lorraine counts Gerhard III and Adalbert II. The marriage produced a son, Conrad (c.?990 – 1039),[2] who was elected King of the Romans in 1024 and crowned Holy Roman Emperor three years later, and a daughter, Judith. Henry's younger brother Bruno was elected Pope Gregory V in 996, his brother Conrad I succeeded their father as Duke of Carinthia in 1004.
     "Little is known of Henry's life, since he died at around the age of 20, even predeceasing his father Otto. He is buried in Worms Cathedral along with his daughter Judith. Adelaide outlived her husband by many years; she secondly married another Franconian count, possibly from the Elder House of Babenberg (Popponids), and died in 1046.

     BIRTH     952
     DEATH     4 Nov 1004 (aged 51–52), France
     He was German nobility, the Duke of Carinthia. Otto was the only son of Conrad the Red, Duke of Lotharingia, and Liutgarde of Saxony, daughter of Emperor Otto I. His mother died three years after he was born and Otto lived much of his early life in his grandfather's court until his grandfather's death in 973. His maternal uncle, Otto II, ascended the Imperial throne. Otto of Worms is first documented as a count in the Nahegau about 956, he also held the Speyergau and Wormsgau, as well as several other counties in the area. In 978, his uncle Emperor Otto II appointed him Carinthian duke and Margrave of Verona, after his Luitpolding predecessor Henry the Younger had unsuccessfully rebelled against the Imperial authority during the War of the Three Henries and was deposed. However, in 985 Emperor Otto's widow Theophanu, in order to gain support for the succession of her minor son Otto III, restored Carinthia to the Luitpoldings, and Otto again lost his duchy. He could at least retain the ducal title as "Duke of Worms", received the Kaiserpfalz of Lautern and seized large estates of Wissembourg (Weißenburg) Abbey in compensation.
     Upon the death of Duke Henry II of Bavaria in 995, Otto received the Duchy of Carinthia and the March of Verona back. When Emperor Otto III had died in 1002, Otto of Worms and Henry IV of Bavaria were candidates for the election as King of the Romans; Otto withdrew and received the Duchy of Carinthia from the newly elected King Henry (then Henry II of Germany) in return. Nevertheless, he was forced to cede his Rhenish possessions to his long-time rival Bishop Burchard of Worms. Otto died two years later, he was succeeded as Carinthian duke by his son, Conrad. Around 978, he married Judith of Bavaria. They had the following known children:
** Heinrich of Speyer (?-?)
** Brun (?-999), who later became Pope Gregory V
** Konrad I, Duke of Carinthia (1004-1011)
** Wilhelm, Bishop of Straßburg (1028-1047)

; Per Genealogics:
     “Otto was the only son of Konrad 'the Red', duke of Lorraine, and Liudgard von Sachsen. He was duke of Carinthia from 978 to 985 and again from 1002 until his death.
     “Otto and his wife Judith had four known sons of whom Heinrich and Konrad would have progeny. Bruno would become Pope Gregory V, and Wilhelm would become bishop of Strassburg.
     “Otto was appointed duke of Carinthia and margrave of Verona when Heinrich I, duke of Carinthia, had unsuccessfully rebelled against Emperor Otto II during the War of the Three Heinrichs and was deposed. In 985 he lost his duchy, but could retain the title of duke as 'Duke of Worms'. After the death of the margrave, Otto received the March of Verona back.
     “In 1002 Otto was a candidate for King of the Germans, but he withdrew and in return he received the duchy of Carinthia from the newly elected king Heinrich II, the former duke. He died on 4 November 1004, and was succeeded as duke by his son Konrad.”.1 Otto (?) Herzog von Kärnten; Graf im Wormsgau was also known as Otto II of Germany.

; Per Weis: “Otto, Duke of Caringthia, d. 1004; m. Judith, d. 991, prob. dau of Henry, Count of Verdun.”.14

; Per Med Lands:
     "OTTO, son of KONRAD Duke [of Lotharingia] & his wife Liutgard of Saxony (-4 Nov 1004, bur [Bruchsal]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Ottonem" as son of "duci Wormatie Conrado", specifying that he was father of "Cono dux et Henricus pater imperatoris Conradi"[370]. Graf im Nahegau 956: "Otto…rex" granted property "in pago Nahgouue in forasto…Vuasago…in comitatu Ottonis filii Cuonradi ducis" to Worms St Peter by charter dated 8 Mar 956[371]. He was installed as OTTO Duke of Carinthia by Otto II King of Germany in 978 after the trial of Heinrich Duke of Carinthia who had been implicated in the rebellion of Heinrich II "der Zänker" Duke of Bavaria[372]. Duke Otto was deprived of Carinthia in 985 when it was returned to Duke Heinrich I [Liutpoldinger], but allowed to retain the ducal title and granted lands around Worms and Frankfurt[373]. He was restored as Duke of Carinthia from 995 to 1002. Presumably he is the "Duke Otto" who is listed first among those presiding over a court hearing in the presence of Emperor Otto III at Pavia 14 Oct 1001[374]. According to Thietmar, he was proposed as candidate for the imperial throne in 1002 but declined the offer[375]. Thietmar names "Duke Otto of Carinthia and Verona" among those sent by Heinrich II King of Germany to Lombardy after his election to quell unrest[376]. Wipo names "Ottone duce Francorum" when recording the names of his sons[377]. The necrology of Fulda records the death "1003 II Non Nov" of "Otto dux"[378].
     "m JUDITH, daughter of --- (-991, bur Worms Cathedral). "Chuonradus… Romanorum imperator augustus" donated property to the church of Worms naming "filii nostri Heinrici Regis, filie quoque nostre Beatricis" for the souls of "parentum nostrorum defunctorum atavi nostri ducis Chuonradi, avie nostre Iudithe, patris nostri Heinrici, patrui nostri ducis Chuonradi eiusque coniugis Mathildis, sororis etiam nostre Iudithe", all buried at Worms Cathedral, by charter dated 30 Jan 1034[379]. According to Wegener[380], Judith was the daughter of Heinrich, son of Arnulf Duke of Bavaria [Liutpoldinger], but he cites no primary source to support the suggestion."

He was installed as OTTO Duke of Carinthia by Otto II King of Germany in 978 after the trial of Heinrich Duke of Carinthia who had been implicated in the rebellion of Heinrich II "der Zänker" Duke of Bavaria[372]. Duke Otto was deprived of Carinthia in 985 when it was returned to Duke Heinrich I [Liutpoldinger], but allowed to retain the ducal title and granted lands around Worms and Frankfurt[373]. He was restored as Duke of Carinthia from 995 to 1002. Presumably he is the "Duke Otto" who is listed first among those presiding over a court hearing in the presence of Emperor Otto III at Pavia 14 Oct 1001[374]. According to Thietmar, he was proposed as candidate for the imperial throne in 1002 but declined the offer[375]. Thietmar names "Duke Otto of Carinthia and Verona" among those sent by Heinrich II King of Germany to Lombardy after his election to quell unrest[376]. Wipo names "Ottone duce Francorum" when recording the names of his sons[377]. The necrology of Fulda records the death "1003 II Non Nov" of "Otto dux"[378].
     "m JUDITH, daughter of --- (-991, bur Worms Cathedral). "Chuonradus… Romanorum imperator augustus" donated property to the church of Worms naming "filii nostri Heinrici Regis, filie quoque nostre Beatricis" for the souls of "parentum nostrorum defunctorum atavi nostri ducis Chuonradi, avie nostre Iudithe, patris nostri Heinrici, patrui nostri ducis Chuonradi eiusque coniugis Mathildis, sororis etiam nostre Iudithe", all buried at Worms Cathedral, by charter dated 30 Jan 1034[379]. According to Wegener[380], Judith was the daughter of Heinrich, son of Arnulf Duke of Bavaria [Liutpoldinger], but he cites no primary source to support the suggestion."

     "SIMON de Lorraine, son of THIERRY II Duke of Lorraine & his first wife Hedwig von Formbach (-[13/15] Jan 1139, bur Stulzbron). The Genealogica ex Stirpe Sancti Arnulfi names "Symonem ducem" as son of "Theodericum ducem"[49]. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[50], Duke Simon was the son of his father's first marriage. This appears to be confirmed by the charter dated 10 Oct 1091 under which Pibon Bishop of Toul granted privileges to the monastery of Toul Saint-Léon and named "dux Theodericus et Simon puer eius filius, et frater ducis Gerardus comes et Renardus comes Tillensis"[51]. Poull[52] refers to several sources which apparently indicate that he was the son of Duke Thierry II's second marriage, including Duke Simon's own act dated 11 Apr 1126 which refers to his deceased "mother Gertrude". However, Duke Simon married "his stepmother's daughter whom she had by her first husband Graf Heinrich"[53], which is best interpreted as meaning that he married the daughter of Gertrude de Flandre, second wife of Duke Thierry II, by her first husband. The alternative interpretation, that Duke Simon (assumed for the purposes of this argument to be the son of Gertrude de Flandre) married the daughter of Hedwig von Formbach by an otherwise unknown first husband "Graf Heinrich" presents major chronological difficulties. Such a daughter could not have been born later than 1072 at the latest. Considering that Hedwig gave birth to two children by her husband Gerhard von Süpplingenburg who died in 1075, such a birth date appears incompatible with Duke Simon's wife having given birth to at least seven children, even if their marriage took place as early as [1112/13] as suggested by Poull. Two further sources confirm that Duke Simon was born from his father's first marriage. Firstly, the Gesta Alberonis Archiepiscopi names "Lotharingiæ ducem Symonem, fratrem regis [=Lothar von Süpplingenburg]" when recording his excommunication 10 Apr 1132[54], Emperor Lothar being Simon's uterine half-brother assuming that Hedwig von Formbach was his mother. Secondly, "Teodericus dux Lotharingie" donated the church at Nancy to the abbey of Molesme with the consent of "filio suo Simone" by charter dated to [1080/90][55] which, assuming this dating is correct, was before the date of Duke Thierry's second marriage. “Theodoricus...Lotharingorum princeps, dux et marchio” donated “quidquid continetur a rivo de Grimommont usque ad nemus de Granviller et usque ad nemus de Stivay” to Saint-Dié, at the request of “Hugonis de Distorchio”, in the presence of “suorum filiorum...Simonis, Theodorici, Gerardi, Henrici”, by charter dated 19 Mar 1114[56]. He succeeded his father in 1115 as SIMON I Duke of Lorraine. “Duci Simoni, comiti Odvino, Alberto de Darney et Simoni advocato” granted rights to Saint-Dié by charter dated to [1123/25][57]. "Simon...dux Lotharingiæ et marchio" donated “ecclesiam...de Pixerecourt...partem decimarum villæ...de Margeville et Augecourt” to the abbey of Bouxières-aux-Dames, in the presence of “soror mea domina Hara abbatissæ”, by charter dated 30 Mar 1130[58]. “Simon...Lotharingorum dux” renounced claims over property of “ecclesia de Sancti-Remigii-Monte”, brought by “patris mei beatæ memoriæ ducis Theodorici”, with the support of “uxore mea...ducissa Adelide...cum Matthæo...unico nostro filio”, by undated charter[59]. He founded the Cistercian monastery of Sainte-Marue-au-Bois at Stulzbron. The necrology of Notre-Dame aux Nonnains records the death "15 Jan" of "Symon dux Lotaringeris"[60]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "XIX Kal Feb" of "Simon Lotaringorum dux"[61]. The necrology of Gorze records the death "XIX Kal Feb" of "Simon dux Lotharingiæ"[62]. The Obituaire de Saint-Mansuy-lès-Toul records the death "14 Jan" of "Sigismundus dux"[63].
     "m ([1112/13]) ADELAIDE de Louvain, daughter of HENRI III Comte de Louvain & his wife Gertrude de Flandre (before 1095-4 Nov after 1158). Simon Duke of Lorraine married "his stepmother's daughter whom she had by her first husband Graf Heinrich"[64]. In light of the chronological difficulties of this having been a daughter of Duke Thierry II's first wife, it is likely that Duke Simon's wife was the daughter of the comte de Louvain, whose wife married Duke Thierry as his second wife. “Simon...Lotharingorum dux” renounced claims over property of “ecclesia de Sancti-Remigii-Monte”, brought by “patris mei beatæ memoriæ ducis Theodorici”, with the support of “uxore mea...ducissa Adelide...cum Matthæo...unico nostro filio”, by undated charter[65]. Her name is confirmed by the charter dated 1155, after 1 Sep, under which "Judit Romaricensis ecclesie abbatissa" donated property at the request of "Aledis mater ducis Mathei"[66]. After the death of her husband, Adelaide retired to the Cistercian abbey of Notre-Dame du Tart, near Dijon[67]."

     "Simon I (1076 – 13 or 14 January 1139) was the duke of Lorraine from 1115 to his death, the eldest son and successor of Theodoric II and Hedwig of Formbach.[1]
     "Continuing the policy of friendship with the Holy Roman Emperor, he accompanied the Emperor Henry V to the Diet of Worms of 1122, where the Investiture Controversy was resolved.
     "He had stormy relations with the episcopates of his realm: fighting with Stephen of Bar, bishop of Metz, and Adalberon, archbishop of Trier, both allies of the count of Bar, whose claim to Lorraine against Simon's father had been quashed by Henry V's father Henry IV. Though Adalberon excommunicated him, Pope Innocent II lifted it. He was a friend of Bernard of Clairvaux and he built many abbeys in his duchy, including that of Sturzelbronn in 1135. There was he interred after his original burial in Saint-Dié.

     "Simon Ier de Lorraine1, dit le grois, né vers 1096, mort le 13 ou 14 janvier 1139, duc de Lorraine de 1115 à 1139 et marchis2. Il est le fils du Thierry II, duc de Lorraine, et d'Edwige de Formbach ou de Gertrude de Flandre.
Filiation
     "Il y a eu un doute sur la mère de Simon ; longtemps considéré comme le fils d'Hedwige de Formbach, certains généalogistes[Qui ?] l'ont plutôt considéré comme le fils de Gertrude de Flandre. Mais l'analyse des parentés montre bien qu'il est fils d'Hedwige de Formbach.
     "Les raisons qui ont conduit à douter qu'il soit fils d'Hedwige :
** Galbert de Bruges, dans son ouvrage Meurtre de Charles le Bon, signale que Gertrude est devenue duchesse d'Alsace et a eu pour fils Simon et Gérard,
** Simon le 11 avril 1126 demande aux chanoines de la cathédrale de Toul de prier pour le repos de son âme et pour ses prédécesseurs, notamment son père Thierry et sa mère Gertrude.

     "La confusion viendrait du fait qu'à cette époque on nommait frère indifféremment son frère et son beau-frère ; Simon dans une charte destinée aux chanoines de Saint-Dié signale son frère Lothaire, roi des Romains, indication reprise par Henri évêque de Toul dans un acte de 1134 (Cartulaire de Belval)3, mais cette confusion existe également entre mère et belle-mère. D'autre part, les auteurs flamands sont mal renseignés sur la maison de Lorraine et plusieurs attribuent le comté d'Alsace à Thierry II, alors qu'il n'en a jamais été comte ou duc.
     "En fait, tout tient sur la filiation de l'épouse de Simon Ier. Au xiie siècle, la Sächsische Weltchronik (de) précise que Simon, duc de Lorraine, épousa la fille de sa belle-mère qu'elle avait eu de son premier mari le comte Henri4. Le premier mari d'Hedwige de Formach était le comte Gebhard de Supplinbourg, tandis que celui de Gertrude de Flandre était le comte Henri III de Louvain. Gertrude est donc la belle-mère de Simon Ier, lequel ne peut être que fils de Thierry II et d'Hedwige de Formach :
[See original article for chart embedded here.]
Biographie
     "Il succède à son père en 1115 et accompagne l'empereur Henri V en 1122 à la Diète de Worms, qui met fin à la Querelle des Investitures.
     "À l'intérieur du duché, il entre en conflit avec Étienne de Bar, évêque de Metz et Adalbéron de Montreuil, archevêque de Trèves, tous deux alliés du comte de Bar. L'archevêque l'excommunie une première fois à la suite d'une querelle avec les chanoines de la collégiale de Saint-Dié. Il est accusé de percevoir des taxes trop importantes sur les terres et en particulier sur celle de Coincourt ; l'intervention du pape ne fait pas changer l'attitude de Simon. Il est donc excommunié par l'archevêque de Trèves mais le pape Innocent II lève l'excommunication.
     "dont il est l'ami intervient par courrier auprès de l'épouse de Simon. Il détruit la forteresse mais usurpe des terres appartenant à l'abbaye. Le pape demande aux évêques de Toul et de Metz de défendre l'abbaye ; il excommunie Simon et jette l'interdit sur le duché.
     "En guerre contre l'archevêque de Trèves, et aidé par le duc de Bavière et le comte de Salm, il s'empare de plusieurs forteresses de l'archevêque. Lothaire lui vient secondairement en aide et il ravage les terres de l'archevêque. Adalberon l'excommunie et jette l'interdit sur ses états.
     "Il fonde plusieurs abbayes dont celle de Sturzelbronn en 1135 où il sera inhumé une seconde fois, après l'avoir été à Saint-Dié. En effet lors de son décès, son entourage ignore que Simon a été excommunié par le pape le 17 décembre 1138, et son corps est déposé dans l'église de la collégiale de Saint-Dié, mais celle-ci est frappée d'interdit. On le transporte donc à Sturzelbronn où la cérémonie se déroule le 19 avril 1139. L'interdit ne sera levé que 4 ans plus tard par le pape Luce II (bulle du 22 mars 1143). Il épouse en 1112 ou 1113 Adélaïde de Louvain, fille d'Henri III de Louvain et de Gertrude de Flandre, laquelle est la belle-mère de Simon4.
     "Adélaïde est inhumée dans l'ancienne église de l'abbaye Notre-Dame de L'Étanche qui fut détruite lors de la guerre de Trente Ans.
Ils ont comme enfants :
** Mathieu Ier (v. 1119 † 1176), duc de Lorraine
** Robert, seigneur de Floranges (près de Thionville)
** Agathe, épouse vers 1130 Renaud III, comte de Bourgogne († 1148/1149).
** Hedwige, épouse de Frédéric III, comte de Toul.
** Baudouin de Lorraine, moine ; il passe son existence en Flandre.
** Bertha,(1116 - † 1162) mariée à Herman III († 1160), margrave de Bade.
** (selon Wiki en5 : Mathilde, épouse de Gottfried Ier comte de Sponheim)
** Jean de Lorraine, une seule fois cité dans les documents ; cité comme témoin dans la charte de fondation de l'abbaye de l'Étanche ([...] Johannes frater Ducis [...]).

     "Selon certains auteurs, il serait aussi le père de :
** Pétronille, mariée à Arnould III de Berghes-Saint-Winocq, châtelain d'Ardres. Pétronille est dite fille de Marguerite de Hennin-Liétard6… ce qui simplifie guère la question matrimoniale de Simon 1er…
** Matthias
** Baudouin Ier, seigneur de Hénin-Liétard, marié à Isabeau de Hainaut, auteurs de la Maison d'Alsace-Hénin-Liétard. Baudouin, comme Pétronille sa sœur, est dit fils de Marguerite de Hennin-Liétard6.
** Vauthier de Haute Lorraine, Seigneur de Gerbéviller7

     "ADELAIDE de Louvain (-4 Nov shortly after 1158). Simon Duke of Lorraine married "his stepmother's daughter whom she had by her first husband Graf Heinrich"[75]. In light of the chronological difficulties of this having been a daughter of Duke Thierry II's first wife, it is likely that Duke Simon's wife was the daughter of the comte de Louvain, whose wife married Duke Thierry as his second wife. “Simon...Lotharingorum dux” renounced claims over property of “ecclesia de Sancti-Remigii-Monte”, brought by “patris mei beatæ memoriæ ducis Theodorici”, with the support of “uxore mea...ducissa Adelide...cum Matthæo...unico nostro filio”, by undated charter[76]. Her name is confirmed by the charter dated 1155, after 1 Sep, under which "Judit Romaricensis ecclesie abbatissa" donated property at the request of "Aledis mater ducis Mathei"[77]. After the death of her husband, Adelaide retired to the Cistercian abbey of Notre-Dame du Tart, near Dijon[78].

     "HEDWIG (-[1090/93]). The Vita Wirntonis names "Fridericus" as father of "Hedwigis, mater Lotharii regis"[238]. 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[239]. Her alleged first marriage to "Graf Heinrich" is based on a misinterpretation of the report that Simon Duke of Lorraine married "his stepmother's daughter whom she had by her first husband Graf Heinrich"[240], assuming that Duke Simon was therefore the son of Hedwig's second husband, Thierry II Duke of Lorraine, by his second wife Gertrud de Flandre. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[241], Duke Simon was the son of his father's first wife Hedwig. Poull[242] refers to several sources which apparently indicate that he was the son of Duke Thierry II's second marriage, including Duke Simon's own act dated 11 Apr 1126 referring to his deceased "mother Gertrude". However, the chronology is highly unfavourable for this possibility. If Duke Simon's wife had been the daughter of Hedwig von Formbach, by an otherwise unknown first husband, she must have been born before 1072, considering that Hedwig gave birth to two children by her husband Gerhard von Süpplingenburg who died in 1075. This would be incompatible with Duke Simon's wife having given birth to at least seven children, even if their marriage took place as early as [1112/13] as suggested by Poull.

      ; Per Genealogics:
     “Friedrich was born about 1020, the son of Tiemo, Graf im Schweinachgau, Graf in Reichenhall, from a Bavarian family. About 1049 Friedrich secretly married the great Saxon heiress, Gertrud von Haldensleben, daughter of Konrad, Graf von Haldensleben and granddaughter of St. Vladimir I 'the Great', grand duke of Kiev and Novgorod.
     “About 1050 they had a daughter Hedwig. However their marriage greatly angered Emperor Heinrich III, and Friedrich was forced to flee the court. He was later forgiven and invited back to court. However on his journey back in 1059 or 1060 he was waylaid and murdered by the emperor's retainers, wishing to punish the disgrace of a marriage between a Saxon heiress and a non-Saxon.
     “Friedrich's daughter Hedwig married twice. With her first husband Gebhard, Graf von Supplinburg, she had a son who would become the Holy Roman Emperor Lothar von Supplinburg. She also had progeny with her second husband Thierry II, duke of Lorraine.
     “Friedrich's widow became the second wife of Ordulf, duke of Saxony, but did not have children. She died on 21 February 1116.”.4

      ; Per Genealogics:
     "Judith was born about 1103, the eldest daughter of Heinrich 'the Black', Herzog von Bayern, and Wulfhild von Sachsen. Sometime between 1119 and 1121 she married Friedrich II von Hohenstaufen, Herzog von Schwaben, elder son of Friedrich I, Herzog von Schwaben, and Agnes von Franken.

The defection of Judith's father created an enmity between the Welfs and the Swabians that would have far-reaching consequences in Germany which would last throughout the 12th century. It is not known how this affected relations between Judith and her husband.

     "Judith of Bavaria, Duchess of Swabia (19 May 1100 – 27 Aug 1130[1]) was a Duchess of Swabia by marriage to Frederick II, Duke of Swabia. She was the mother of Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor, known to history as "Barbarossa".
Life
     "Judith was born 19 May 1100, the eldest daughter of Henry IX, Duke of Bavaria and Wulfhilde of Saxony, daughter of Magnus, Duke of Saxony and Sophia of Hungary, and thereby a member of the powerful German House of Welf. She had three brothers Henry X, Duke of Bavaria, Conrad, and Welf; and three sisters, Sophia, Matilda, and Wulfhild. The Historia Welforum names in order Iuditham, Mahtildem, Sophium, and Wulfildem as the four daughters of Henricus dux ex Wulfilde.[2] This is evidence that Judith was the eldest daughter. She had in addition to her seven legitimate siblings, one half-brother, Adalbert, born of her father's relationship with an unnamed mistress.
Duchess of Swabia
     "On an unknown date between 1119 and 1121, she married as his first wife, Frederick II, Duke of Swabia (1090 – 6 April 1147); this dynastic marriage united the House of Welf and the House of Hohenstaufen, the two most powerful and influential families in Germany. The Historia Welforum specified that Judith married Friderico Suevorum duci,[3] but did not mention the date.
     "In 1125, her father initially supported the candidacy of her husband to succeed Emperor Henry V as King of Germany, however he eventually switched his support to Lothar III, Holy Roman Emperor. The defection of Judith's father created an enmity between the Welfs and the Swabians that would have far-reaching consequences in Germany which would last throughout the 12th century.[4] It is not known how this affected relations between Judith and her husband. It is curious to note that no further children were born to the couple after the birth of their daughter Bertha in 1123.
     "She died on 27 Aug 1130 and was buried at Waldburg in Heiligen Forst, Alsace.[5] Shortly after Judith's death Frederick married as his second wife, Agnes of Saarbrücken.
Issue
     "She had two children:[6]
** Frederick I Barbarossa, Holy Roman Emperor (1122 – 10 June 1190), married on 9 June 1156 Beatrice I, Countess of Burgundy, by whom he had 12 children.
** Bertha (also called Judith) of Swabia (1123 – 18 October 1194/25 March 1195), married in 1138[7] Matthias I, Duke of Lorraine, by whom she had seven children.

Heinrich married Wulfhild of Saxony, the daughter of Magnus, duke of Saxony and Zofia of Hungary. He added to the family holdings in Swabia and Upper Italy additional holdings in Saxony through his marriage.

     "Henry IX (1075 – 13 December 1126), called the Black, a member of the House of Welf, was Duke of Bavaria from 1120 to 1126.
Life and reign
     "Henry was the second son of Duke Welf I of Bavaria (d. 1101) from his marriage with Judith,[1] daughter of Count Baldwin IV of Flanders. As a young man, he administered the family's Este property south of the Alps.
     "Through his marriage to Wulfhilde, daughter of Duke Magnus of Saxony,[1] about 1095, he acquired part of the Billung estates around Lüneburg (the nucleus of the later Welf duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg). He aspired to succeed his father-in-law as Saxon duke when Magnus died without male heirs in 1106, but was denied as the new king Henry V enfeoffed his follower Count Lothair of Supplinburg.
     "Duke Henry nevertheless upheld close relations with the ruling Salian dynasty. In 1116, he joined Emperor Henry V's second Italian campaign to seize the estates of late Margravine Matilda of Tuscany. He succeeded his elder brother Welf II as Bavarian duke, when the latter died childless in 1120. Henry was also instrumental in bringing about the 1122 Concordat of Worms, ending the long-lasting Investiture Controversy between Pope and Emperor.
     "Upon the emperor's death, Duke Henry played a vital role in the royal election of 1125: first supporting his son-in-law, the Hohenstaufen duke Frederick II of Swabia, he switched his allegiance to his old rival Duke Lothair of Saxony —probably after Lothair promised that Gertrude, his only daughter and heir, would marry Henry's son Henry the Proud. The marriage was concluded in May 1127. The estrangement between the Welf and Hohenstaufen dynasties ("Guelphs and Ghibellines") lasted until the 13th century.
     "After Lothair won the tumultuous election, he imposed an Imperial ban on Frederick II, however, the king's forces were not able to conquer the Hohenstaufen territories in Swabia. In 1126 Henry abdicated as Bavarian duke in favour of his second son Henry the Proud and retired to the family foundation of Weingarten Abbey in Upper Swabia, possibly to not be obliged to participate in the prosecution of his son-in-law.
     "Henry died shortly thereafter and was buried in Weingarten. His wife Wulfhilde outlived him by only 16 days. Henry's epithet "the Black" has not been recorded before the 13th century. Both Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and his bitter rival Henry the Lion were his grandsons.
Issue
     "Henry and Wulfhilde had the following children:
** Judith, married Frederick II, Duke of Swabia[2]
** Conrad (died 17 March 1126)
** Henry X the Proud, married Gertrude of Süpplingenburg,[3] succeeded his father as Duke of Bavaria
** Welf VI (died 1191)[1]
