Her first marriage is indicated by the Fundatio Sancti Pauli in Carinthia which names "Poppo gener comitis" as first witness to a charter of Engelbert dated 2 Dec 1092, although this document does not name Poppo’s wife[976]. Her second marriage is indicated by the following document: "Rihkart uxor Gebehardi comitis et filius eius Engilpreht" donated a mill “apud Chlotheim” to Ebersberg by undated charter[977]. Richgard's origin is confirmed by the following document: "Rihkart cometissa" donated "curtis ad Gurk" to Kloster St Paul by charter dated to [1106], witnessed by “Bernhart et Heinrih fratres eius...”[978]. [Richgard may have married thirdly Berthold [I] [von Schwarzenberg]. Wegener speculates that Berthold [I] was her first husband[979]. The chronology of Richgard herself and of her first and second husbands suggests that she could only have married Berthold as her third husband. This suggestion fits neatly into a proposed new reconstruction of the Schwarzenberg/Regensburg family, shown in the present document, aimed at reconciling apparently contradictory sources relating to the family origin of Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln. One difficulty is that Richgard would have had sons named Engelbert by both her second and third husbands, which seems unlikely.]"

     Wikipedia states: "Berthold's ancestry has not been conclusively established. According to the Europäische Stammtafeln genealogy, he was probably the elder son and heir of Count Arnold of Dießen (d. 1098) and his wife Gisela of Schweinfurt, a daughter of Duke Otto III of Swabia."

     Genealogy.EU (Diessen 1) shows his parents as "Graf Berthold II von Diessen m. N von Hohenwart"
     Med Lands shows Berthold's father as Arnold von Diessen. Hoiwever, Med Lands states that his mother was named Gisela, but questions whether his mother was Gisela von Schweinfurt.
     However, Genealogics says that his parents were Berthold III, Graf von Andecs and Gisela von Schwaben, quoting:

     ; NB: There is no clear agreement between my main "tertiary" sources of information regarding the descent of Gebhard I. However, the four following sources provide various pieces of a descent:


I. Genealogy.EU (Babenberg) - This descent is clear, but is not supported by any sources:
     Genealogics - No father is shown for Gebhard I and the descent from him is shown as follows:


II. Genealogics cites:


III. Med Lands - This is a more fragmented descent in that, while the individuals are listed, their parent/child connections are not shown or are shown as uncertain. The following generations are shown , with ">>>" indicating no connection shown, though the individuals are listed:
Med Lands offers a few comments on the uncertainties:
     1. Re father of Gebhard I: "Wegener assumes that Adelheid was the widow of Hermann IV Duke of Swabia[1817]. He presumably bases this assumption on a creative interpretation of the 14th century Deutsche Reimchronik of Kloster Kastel which records that Ernst Duke of Swabia (presumably indicating Duke Ernst I, father of Duke Hermann IV) had “ain Suen...Gebhardus...Sultzpach”[1818]. No other primary source has been found which indicates any family relationship between the Babenberger dukes of Swabia and the Grafen von Sulzbach. It is suggested that the Deutsche Reimchronik represents a fantasised version of the connection. In any case, Adelaida di Susa, widow of Duke Hermann IV, was married to Enrico di Monferrato in [early 1042] and in two charters dated the following year is recorded in northern Italy (see the document SWABIA DUKES). It is unlikely therefore that she would have been recorded as holding property in the Bavarian Nordgau around the same time. In addition, if Gebhard had been her son it is likely that he would have claimed the duchy of Swabia at some point."
Here, Med Lands cites:
     2. Re relationship between Gebhard I and Gebhard 2: "Wegener identifies Gebhard [I] with Gebhard who is named as Graf von Sulzbach in 1071, who is shown below as Gebhard [II][1820]. If that is correct, Gebhard [II]’s marriage to Irmgard von Rott must have been his second marriage."

Conclusion: I have chosen to follow the basic lineage shown by Genealogy.EU, building in the information and warnings from the other three sources. GA Vaut.^{10,11,12,13,14} He was Per Genealogics:
     "Gebhard III was born about 1114, the son of Berengar I, Graf von Sulzbach, and his second wife Adelheid von Diessen. After his father's death in 1125 he was appointed count of Sulzbach, and he was also count of Floss and margrave from 1146 to 1149. In 1129, probably on 24 October, he married Mathilde von Bayern, widow of Diepold IV, Graf von Vohburg, and daughter of Heinrich 'the Black', Herzog von Bayern, and Wulfhild von Sachsen. They had five children of whom Elisabeth and Adelheid would have progeny. Gebhard survived all his children, including his son Berengar III who died childless in 1167.
     "After his sister Mathilde died without heirs in 1165, on 22 December that year Gebhard reached an agreement with her widower Engelbert III, margrave of Istria and of Tuscany, to take over her extensive inheritance in the Chiemgau. In 1144 he had also inherited the fortress of Warberg.
     "Gebhard was mentioned in the first report of the foundation of the abbey of Berchtesgaden written between 1125 and 1136 _(Fundatio monasterii Berchtesgadensis)._ In 1121, as a youth he made a donation to the 'brethren of the Church of St. John the Baptist and St. Peter' in Berchtesgaden from the inheritance of his mother 'for the salvation of his soul and that of his parents'.
     "Later, he also appears as a witness in the 'Freedom Charter', the Golden Bull of Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa of 1156 in which he confirmed the right of the Berchtesgaden abbey and its then provost Heinrich I to choose and dismiss its steward. The Bull also guaranteed the abbey's land and forest holdings. This also indirectly benefitted Gebhard, as the secular authority over the lands around Berchtesgaden, as the local economy prospered through the development of forestry, salt harvesting and mining.
     "All this aroused the aspirations of the Counts of Plain, in whose county Berchtesgaden lay. However, after Emperor Friedrich's 'Freedom Charter' of 1156 guaranteed the possessions and rights of the abbey, the position of the Sulzbach governor was sufficiently consolidated to displace the counts. And though Provost Heinrich was assured in the 'Freedom Charter' of their authority to dismiss a steward, he and his immediate predecessors and successors were highly satisfied with their Sulzbach steward. A few years before his death, in 1183 Gebhard granted the abbey a very valuable share in the salt from Reichenhall.
     "Gebhard was not only steward of Berchtesgaden, but of the cathedral of Regensburg and of the abbeys of Niedermünster and Passau-Niedernburg. With his death on 28 October 1188 the house of the counts of Sulzbach died out in the male line.”.¹⁵

It is not certain to whom "Angelberti marchionis" refers, but it is possible that it is Engelbert [I] Graf von Sponheim whose father bore the title Markgraf. If that is correct, Hedwig could have been Hedwig of Saxony, daughter of Bernhard II Duke of Saxony [Billung] & his wife Eilika von Schweinfurt. Wegener points out that a Saxon origin for Hedwig is consistent with the introduction of the names Bernhard and Heinrich into the family of the Grafen von Sponheim[623]. However, if Hedwig was the daughter of Duke Bernhard, she must have been born in the range [1020/40], which seems early in light of the chronology of her children. Her possible first marriage is suggested as a possible way of reconciling apparently contradictory sources relating to the family origin of Friedrich [I] Archbishop of Köln. Another possibility is that Engelbert [I] married twice, his earlier unrecorded wife being the widow of --- von Schwarzenberg. Wegener cites a source according to which Babo Abbot of Deutz was named avunculus of Berthold's son Friedrich[624]. If that is correct, and if “avunculus” was used in this document in its strict sense of maternal uncle, Abbot Babo was the brother of the wife of “--- [von Schwarzenberg]”. The question of the family origin of Archbishop Friedrich is discussed fully in the document BAVARIA NOBILITY.

In speaking with Andrew B. W. MacEwen this evening, he has advised me that he has found conclusive evidence that the lady in question was in fact a daughter of Earl Alexander of Menteith. He further stated that her identification as ' Lady Margaret de Abrenythy ', a lady of the court of Queen Isabella of England in 1311/1312 [2], is important, and most likely correct.

The evidence Andrew mentioned will be cited in a forthcoming article, and cannot be divulged at this time for that reason. However, he did extend permission to mention the existence of this evidence to the newsgroup so that this identification can be noted as correct.

     "SIEGHARD [I], son of --- (-861 or after). A charter dated 5 Jan 848 records an exchange of property "in pago Chochinguue et in Mulehgouue" between Hatto Abbot of Fulda and "Sigehardus comes", subscribed by "Gerharti comitis, Sigifridi comitis"[676]. Ludwig II "der Deutsche" King of the East Franks donated property which "comes Sigihardus comes in villa Heitungesfelden in beneficium nobis habuit" to Kloster Fulda by charter dated 12 Feb [849?][677]. The geographical distance of Fulda from Kraichgau suggests that these two documents may not refer to the same person as the other diplomas cited below. Graf im Kraichgau 858: King Ludwig II "der Deutsche" granted property "in pago Lobodengouue in comitatu Werinherii in villa…Walestat" to Tuto in exchange for property "in comitatu Sighardi in pago…Creichgouue in villa Vhratesheim" by charter dated 7 Dec 858[678].
