     “Gerhard was born about 1057, the second son of Gerhard, duke of Upper-Lorraine, and his wife Hadwide de Namur. On the death of his father in 1070, Gerhard claimed some of his father's lands, and he acted like a robber baron, ravaging the land south of Lorraine. His brother Thierry II, who was in conflict with Graf Ludwig von Mousson, Castellanus in Mömpelgard, Altkirch und Pfirt, for the succession to the duchy, gave Gerhard a portion of the Saintois region of Lorraine, located around Vaudémont, and Emperor Heinrich IV granted him the dignity of a countship.
     “From his inauguration he worked closely with his brother, fighting the counts of Mömpelgard/Montbéliard and thereby preserving the southern border of the duchy of Lorraine.
     “Gerhard fought against a duke of Burgundy and was taken prisoner in 1080, but apart from Jean de Bayon whose account a few centuries later has some errors and omissions (including the first name of the duke of Burgundy), no other source mentions the episode. However the suzerainty of the dukes of Burgundy over the lordships of Charmes and Ramberailles, possessions of Vaudémont, is a fact, and the episode could account for the origin of the suzerainty.
     “Gerhard is referred to in numerous charters relating to various abbeys, as a source of endowments or as a witness, except in the period 1097-1101. This gap could be explained by his participation in the First Crusade, but none of the chroniclers of the crusades mentions it.
     “About 1080 Gerhard married Helwide von Dagsburg, heiress of Egisheim, and daughter of Gerhard II von Dagsburg, Graf im Nordgau, Graf von Egisheim, and his wife Richarda. Helwide's father was a descendant of a Heinrich von Dagsburg, a brother of Pope Leo IX. Of their four children, Hugues I, Gisèle and Stephanie are recorded with progeny, Judith was abbess of the convent of Remiremont, then that of Saint-Pierre at Metz.
     “Gerhard died about 1108.”.¹ Gerhard I (?) Comte de Vaudémont was also known as Gerard I Comte de Vaudémont.³

     “Ludwig was born between 1005 and 1019, the son of Ricuin/Ricwin, Graf im Scarponnois, and Hildegard von Egisheim, sister of Pope Leo IX (Bruno von Egisheim). He was count of Mömpelgard/Montbéliard, Altkirch and Pfirt/Ferrette, and through his marriage also count of Bar and lord of Mousson.
     “In 1038 Ludwig married Sofie of Lorraine, daughter of Friedrich II, duke of Upper-Lorraine, and Mathilde von Schwaben. Both of Sofie's parents had died (her father about 1027 and her mother by 1033), and in 1033 Sofie and her sister Beatrix had been taken in by their maternal aunt Gisela von Schwaben, by then wife of Emperor Konrad II. Upper-Lorraine had been entrusted to Geoffroy 'with the Beard', count of Verdun, but the emperor wanted to strengthen his influence over the house of Verdun, which was soon to show signs of unrest, and married his niece Sofie to Ludwig. This marriage brought Ludwig the county of Bar and the lordship of Mousson. He and Sofie had at least seven children, but only Thierry I (Dietrich) is recorded with progeny.
     “In 1042 Emperor Heinrich III, son of Konrad II, gave Ludwig the counties of Mömpelgard/Montbéliard, Altkirch and Pfirt/Ferrette. In 1044 he successfully fought Renaud I, comte de Bourgogne, who had rebelled against the emperor.
     “In 1047 Geoffrey 'with the Beard', count of Verdun, duke of Upper-Lorraine, rebelled against the emperor and was defeated. Upper-Lorraine was confiscated from him and given to Adalbert, Graf von Metz. After Geoffrey had killed Adalbert in battle, Upper-Lorraine was given to Adalbert's brother Gerhard von Metz. Because Ludwig's wife Sofie was the daughter of the first dukes of Lorraine, he claimed the duchy, but Emperor Heinrich IV, son of Heinrich III, ruled in favour of Thierry II, son of Gerhard von Metz. This dispute was the source of the rivalry between the counts of Bar and dukes of Lorraine, a rivalry that would not disappear until the union of two houses in 1420 with the marriage of René, duc d'Anjou, and Isabelle, duchesse de Lorraine.

The wife of Richwin may have been the daughter of Hugo [VIII], if it is correct that her son Louis was the same person as Louis Comte de Mousson, and also if it is correct that Pope Leo IX was the maternal uncle of the latter as suggested by Picard[250]. If this is correct, Mathilde would have been one of her parents´ older children considering the probable birth date of her son Louis.

; Per Genealogics:
     “Mathilde was born about 989, the daughter of Hermann II, Herzog von Schwaben, and Gerberge de Bourgogne. Her sister Gisela would marry, as her third husband, the Holy Roman Emperor Konrad II. Her sister Beatrix would marry Adalbero von Eppenstein. Her half-brothers from her mother's first marriage to Bernhard I, Graf von Werl, were Hermann II, Rudolf and Bernhard von Werl.
     “Mathilde was first married to Konrad I, Herzog von Kärnten, son of Otto, Herzog von Kärnten, Graf im Wormsgau, and his wife Judith. Her sons would not have progeny. Konrad II would eventually become duke of Carinthia, and Bruno would become bishop of Würzburg. Her daughter would marry Gerhard, Graf von Metz.
     “After the death of her first husband in 1011, Mathilde married Friedrich II, duke of Upper-Lorraine, son of Friedrich I, duke of Upper-Lorraine, and his wife Beatrix. Her daughters Beatrix and Sofie would have progeny. Her son Friedrich III would succeed his father.
     “Before her father declared himself a candidate for the German throne in 1002, Mathilde was already married to her first husband Konrad I, Herzog von Kärnten. Konrad supported his father-in-law's aspiration. After the election of Heinrich II as King of the Germans, Heinrich sharply criticised the marriage of Mathilde and Konrad for alleged consanguinity at a synod in Thionville in 1003. Despite considerable turmoil this did not give rise to divorce proceedings; their common ancestors were four generations back. After the death of Konrad I his still under age son by Mathilde, later Konrad II, was passed over by Heinrich II for the succession in Carinthia. Instead, Adalbero von Eppenstein, the husband of Mathilde's sister Beatrix, was named as duke. Konrad II would eventually succeed Adalbero as duke in 1036.
     “After her sister Gisela married Konrad II, the future emperor and nephew of Mathilde's first husband, Mathilde initially was close to them both. Her brother-in-law Konrad supported her son Konrad, albeit in vain, when he fought to become duke of Carinthia in 1019 at the Battle of Ulm. In giving his support, the elder Konrad aroused the resentment of Emperor Heinrich II and may even have had to go into exile for a time. However the alliance of the two lines of the Salians ended in 1024 when both Konrad and his father-in-law Hermann II sought the German throne. When Konrad was elected by the majority of the electoral assembly of princes at Kamba in the Rhineland, Mathilde and the nobles of Lorraine left the assembly in protest, and she continued to resist the choice of her brother-in-law. At Easter in 1025 her son Konrad also broke with Konrad, then emperor-elect, who became emperor at Easter 1027. By their rejection of him, her husband Friedrich II and her son Konrad strengthened the emperor's opponents, and Mathilde also played an active role in this.
     “At the death of Heinrich II in 1024, the bold and rebellious Mieszko II, son and heir of Boleslaw I, king of Poland, had tried to throw off his vassalage to the empire, but Emperor Konrad did not recognise him as king of Poland. Mathilde gave Mieszko II a valuable theological book _Liber de officiis divinis,_ in which she wrote a dedication 'Epistola ad Mathildis Suevae Misegonem II Poloniae Regem' together with a picture of her presenting him with the book. In her dedication Mathilde accorded to Mieszko all the honorifics of kingship. However Konrad campaigned against Poland in 1028 and forced Mieszko to make peace and return land that Boleslaw had conquered from the empire. Mieszko then submitted and swore to be Emperor Konrad's faithful vassal; he ceased to be a self-anointed king and reverted to being duke of Poland.
     “Later Mathilde seems to have become reconciled with the emperor. The source indicate that at the court day of Easter 1030 in Ingelheim she was again close to the emperor and her sister Gisela. That year Mathilde founded the abbey of St. Evre in Toul.
     “Friedrich II had died in 1027. Mathilde died on 29 July 1032, and was buried in the Cathedral of Worms. Her children from her second marriage, who were still under age at her death, were adopted and educated by Empress Gisela. The emperor commemorated Mathilde explicitly in his memorial foundation for his family in Worms.”.⁷ Mathilde (?) von Schwaben was also known as Mathilde (?) von Werl-Hövel.^17,22 Mathilde (?) von Schwaben was also known as Maud (?) of Swabia.²⁶
