     "KONRAD von Staufen, son of FRIEDRICH I Duke of Swabia [Staufen] & his wife Agnes of Germany (1093-Bamberg 15 Feb 1152, bur Bamberg Cathedral). Duke of Franconia 1116/20. After his older brother's breach with Lothar von Süpplingenburg King of Germany, Konrad was elected anti-king of Germany in Dec 1127 by his supporters in Franconia and Swabia[497]. He sought support in Italy, having himself crowned as king of Italy at Monza in Jun 1128 by the archbishop of Milan in opposition to Pope Honorius II. He was unsuccessful in retaining the lands previously held by Matilda Ctss of Tuscany, to which he had a hereditary claim as nephew of Emperor Heinrich IV, and returned to Germany in 1130[498]. Konrad eventually submitted to Emperor Lothar with his brother in 1135, and took part in the 1136 Italian campaign as imperial standard-bearer[499]. After the death of Emperor Lothar, Adalbero Archbishop of Trier engineered a quick election at Koblenz 7 Mar 1138 without waiting for a formal meeting of the princes, where Konrad was elected as KONRAD III King of Germany. He was crowned at Aachen by the papal legate 13 Mar 1138. His main rival, Heinrich "der Stolze" [Welf] Duke of Bavaria, acknowledged Konrad's election but demanded the duchy of Saxony, which was refused. He was deprived of his duchy of Bavaria and outlawed[500]. King Konrad strengthened his position by enfeoffing close relations with the duchy of Bavaria (his half-brother Leopold IV Markgraf of Austria), the duchy of Lower Lotharingia (his wife's brother-in-law Godefroi de Louvain) and the Rhineland Palatinate (his brother-in-law Hermann von Stahleck). King Konrad sealed an alliance with Byzantium in 1140 by arranging the marriage of his wife's sister with the son of Emperor Ioannes II, although the marriage did not finally take place until 1146 as negotiations were delayed first by the emperor's death and later by additional dowry demands from the Byzantines[501]. The dispute with the Welf family persisted, despite King Konrad's defeat of Duke Welf VI at Weinsberg in 1140 and a temporary settlement achieved in 1142[502]. King Konrad III left Germany in May 1147 on the Second Crusade and reached Constantinople 10 Sep 1147[503]. His army was defeated by the Seljuks near Dorylaeum 25 Oct 1147, but he continued to march southwards together with the French army led by Louis VII King of France. At Ephesus King Konrad was obliged by ill health to return to Constantinople where he remained until Mar 1148[504]. Konrad took part in the unsuccessful attempt to capture Damascus in Jul 1148, but left Acre 8 Sep 1148 for Thessaloniki. He stayed in Constantinople until Feb 1149, after agreeing an alliance with Emperor Manuel I to fight Roger II King of Sicily[505]. Konrad refused, however, to cooperate with the scheme of Louis VII King of France to launch a new crusade aimed at taking vengeance on Byzantium[506]. He died while preparing an expedition against the Sicilians, after naming his nephew Friedrich as his successor, passing over his own infant son. The Annales Veterocellenses record the death "1152 XIV Kal Mar" of "Cuonradus rex" and his burial at Speier[507]. Although Konrad was never crowned emperor at Rome, he used the titles "Romanorum rex Augustus" and "semper Augustus"[508].

Gerberga and her supposed children are not mentioned in Ziegler’s biography of King Konrad.]"

     "Jutta was born about 1133, the daughter of Friedrich II von Hohenstaufen, Herzog von Schwaben, and his second wife Agnes von Saarbrücken. She was the half-sister of Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa. In 1140 Jutta married Ludwig II 'der Eiserne', Landgraf von Thüringen, and Hedwig von Gudensberg. The marriage bound Ludwig's family politically close to the Hohenstaufen, supporting the emperor's action in disempowering and exiling the Welf Heinrich 'the Lion', duke of Saxony. Jutta and Ludwig had four sons and a daughter Jutta. Hermann I, Friedrich and Jutta would have progeny; she married Hermann, Graf von Ravensberg.
     "In 1168 Jutta and her husband began the construction of the castle of Runneburg by the Weissensee. The appeal of her neighbours, the counts of Beichlingen, against this was rejected by Barbarossa in favour of his sister. The castle, located half way between the border fortresses of Wartburg and Neuchâtel, became the residence of the landgraves of Thuringia, and later because of its strategic position it was at times one of the most important castles of Germany in the conflicts between powerful dynasties.
     "Jutta survived her husband and her eldest son Ludwig III. She died on 7 July 1191 and is buried next to her husband in the abbey of Reinhardsbrunn. Her name is still spoken of in the Weissensee area, showing the high regard in which she was held."⁵

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Judith of Hohenstaufen, also known as Judith of Hohenstaufen or Judith of Swabia (c.?1133/1134 – 7 July 1191), a member of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, was Landgravine of Thuringia from 1150 until 1172 by her marriage with the Ludovingian landgrave Louis II. She was baptized as Judith, but was commonly called Jutta or Guta. Sometimes the Latinate form Clementia was used, or Claritia or Claricia.
Life
     "Judith was a daughter of Duke Frederick II of Swabia (1090–1147) and his second wife Agnes of Saarbrücken, thereby a younger half-sister of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa (1122–1190). She first appeared in contemporary sources in 1150, upon her marriage with Landgrave Louis II of Thuringia. This wedlock was intended to cement the relationship between the Thuringian Ludovingians and the imperial House of Hohenstaufen, to strengthen Emperor Barbarossa in his fierce conflict with Duke Henry the Lion and the House of Welf.
     "When in 1168 her husband reconciled with Henry the Lion, Judith began the construction of Runneburg Castle in Weißensee. The neighbouring Counts of Beichlingen objected, and protested to Emperor Barbarossa. However, the emperor sided with his half-sister and rejected the protests. Runneburg Castle was situated halfway between Wartburg Castle and Neuenburg Castle and became the residence of the Landgraves of Thuringia. Later during the conflicts between Germany's most powerful dynasties, the strategically located Runneburg Castle became one of the most important castles in the area.
     "Judith survived both her husband and her eldest son Landgrave Louis III. She died on 7 July 1191 and was buried in Reinhardsbrunn monastery next to her husband.
     "Her name is still omnipresent in Weißensee, which shows how highly she was regarded during her lifetime.
Grave stone
     "Judith's grave stone [1] was created in the 14th century, well after her death. It must have been installed after the fire of 1292. It was moved from Reinhardsbrunn to the choir of the St. George's Church in Eisenach.
     "The Landgravine is depicted holding a lap dog in her left arm, while her right hand holds a scepter. A wide cantilevered canopy, held up by two angels, is extended over her head. The angels appear to sit on a pillow behind her head. The inscription reads S. SOROR FRIDERICI INPERATORIS ("the sister of Emperor Frederick").
     "Due to the canopy, this grave stone was larger than those of the other Landgraves of Thuringia (which are also on display in the St. George church in Eisenach). It must have made her grave very visible, even when the grave stone was part of the church floor. The presence of the Emperor's sister in the family tree introduced additional honor, which is why her family background was emphasized in the inscription.
Marriage and issue
     "In 1150, Judith married Louis II, Landgrave of Thuringia. They had the following children:

     Ludwig II, Landgrave of Thuringia, nicknamed Louis the Iron. He was born in 1128, as the son of Louis I, who in 1131 became the first Landgrave of Thuringia, and his wife, Hedwig of Gudensberg. Ludwig II was engaged with Judith, who was a niece of Conrad III and a half-sister of his successor Frederick Barbarossa. He married Judith in 1150, and a year later his son and successor Louis III was born. During Louis II's reign, the population of Thuringia was frequently bullied and harassed by the nobility. Louis began to intervene against these practises, earning him his nickname "Louis the Iron".
     According to a legend, which was recorded by Johannes Rothe in 1421, Louis II was travelling anonymously and one night, he found shelter in smithy in Ruhla. The blacksmith told him about his plight and cursed the nobility and finally shouted: Landgrave, take a stance!. These words spurred Louis into action against the robber barons. According to the legend, after the offenders had been arrested, they were harnased to a plow and forced to plow a field. In 1170, Frederick Barbarossa and Louis undertook an expedition against Poland. After Louis's return, he fell ill and hed died on October 14, 1172. Like almost all Thuringian Landgraves, he was buried in the monastery in Reinhardsbrunn. Tomb stones for members of the family were transferred to the St. George church in Eisenach when the monastery was demolished.

     "LUDWIG von Thüringen, son of LUDWIG I Landgraf of Thuringia & his wife Hedwig von Gudensberg ([1128]-Neuenburg am Unstrut 14 Oct 1172, bur Reinhardsbrunn). The Annales Stadenses specifies that "secundus Lodewicus [=filium Ludowici genuit tertium]"[164]. He succeeded his father in 1140 as LUDWIG II "der Eiser ne" Landgraf of Thuringia., although the following charters show that he was not consistently referred to in contemporary documentation with the title Landgraf "Ludewicus comes provincialis…" witnessed the charter dated 16 Jun 1147 under which Heinrich [I] Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the foundation of Ichtershausen convent by "matrona…Frideruna linea nobis sanguinis propinqua et filius eius Marcwardus de Grumbach vir nobilis"[165]. "Lodewigus provincialis comes…" witnessed the charter dated 22 Oct 1150 under which Heinrich [I] Archbishop of Mainz donated property to Stifte Jechaburg[166]. At first an ally of Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony, he later joined the duke's enemies, feeling threatened by his ambitions in the area south of the Harz[167]. In 1166, he joined the alliance of Saxon princes against Duke Heinrich, attacking the fortress of Althaldensleben 20 Dec 1166 with Albrecht "der Bär" Markgraf von Brandenburg and Wichmann Bishop of Magdeburg[168]. Landgraf Ludwig was one of the signatories of the alliance of Magdeburg 12 Jul 1167, which formalised the opposition to Duke Heinrich[169]. The Annales Sancti Petri Erphesfurdenses record the death of "Loudewigus provincialis comes Thuringiæ" in 1172[170].

The Gesta Friderici of Otto of Freising names "Conradum, qui palatinus comes Rheni…et Clariciam, Ludewici Thuringiæ comitis uxorem" as the two children of Duke Friedrich & his second wife[171]. The Urspergensium Chronicon refers to (but does not name) the daughter of "Friedrich I pater ipsius" & his second wife as the wife of "lantgravius de Thuringia"[172]. The Annales Stadenses records that the mother of "quartum [Lodewicum]" and therefore the wife of "tertium [Ludowicum]" was "sororis imperatoris Friderici"[173]. The Historia Brevis Principum Thuringiæ names "imperatoris Friderici sorore Iutha" as the wife of Landgraf Ludwig II[174]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines in 1193 refers to "soror…Berthe" as wife of "lantgravie Thuringie Ludovico"[175]. The Cronica Reinhardsbrunnensis records the death in 1191 of "Iutta lantgravia soror Frederici imperatoris mater Ludewici tercii" and her burial at Reinhardsbrunn[176].

     "HEDWIG von Gudensberg (-1148, bur Reinhardsbrunn). The Chronicon Gozecense names "Hadewigam comitissam Gise viduam" as the wife of [Ludwig][276], one way of interpreting the whole passage being that she was the widow of Ludwig's brother Heinrich although this seems unlikely to be correct. The Cronica Reinhardsbrunnensis records the marriage of "Ludewicus primus langgravius" and "Hedwigim" without giving her origin[277], although it is interesting to note that this text follows the passage which records the death of Ludwig's brother Heinrich. The true family origin of the wife of Landgraf Ludwig is confirmed by the charter dated to [1137/40] under which Arnold Archbishop of Köln confirmed a donation of property "apud Brubach" [Braubach] to Kloster Siegburg by her mother "comitissa quedam Cunigunda…de Bilistein que fuerat uxor Gisonis comitis" and the later confirmation by "domnus Ludewicus comes de Thuringia cum uxore sua, filia predicte Cunigunde"[278]. The primary source which confirms her father´s family as "von Gudensberg" has not yet been identified. It is not known whether the Chronicon Gozecense is correct in stating that Ludwig was Hedwig´s second husband, even if it identifies him incorrectly, but if so no separate indication of his identity has yet been found. Hedwig was heiress of a large part of Hessen. The Annales Pegavienses record the death in 1148 of "Hedewic relicta Loudewicis provincialis comitis"[279]. The Cronica Reinhardsbrunnensis records the death in 1148 of "Hedewig relicta primi lantgravii" and her burial at Reinhardsbrunn[280].

     BIRTH     1128
     DEATH     1187 (aged 58–59)
     Nobility. Duchess of Swabia and German Queen. She was a daughter of Margrave Diepold III of Vohburg from his second marriage. After her fathers death in 1146 King Conrad III arranged a marriage between her and his nephew Friedrich III of Swabia that was celebrated in the same year. Conrad died on February 15th, 1152 after naming Friedrich his successor. He was crowned three weeks later in Aachen, without his wife. Soon after that he tried to obtain a papal assent for the annulment of his marriage on the grounds of consanguinity, infertility and adultery. The first two seem to be only excuses to end his unhappy marriage, but the third was apparently true. They were divorced in March 1153 in Constance. In the same year, or early in the following, she married Dietho of Ravensburg a ministerialis (an unfree knight) who was far below her rank. The marriage seems to have been very happy and she bore several children. It is not much known about where or when she died although it is assumed that she died after 1187. It is also assumed that she was buried at Weissenau Abbey near Ravensburg, since her second husbands family were benefactors of the abbey.

He succeeded as Comte de Bourgogne on his second marriage in 1156, de iure uxoris, and received the homage of the Burgundian magnates at Besançon in 1157. In 1157, he invaded Poland and compelled Duke Boles?aw IV to recognise German suzerainty[541]. Tensions in Italy, and particularly with the papacy, came to a head in 1166 when Emperor Friedrich's army marched to Rome where they defeated the Romans at Tusculum, captured the city, and enthroned his own papal candidate Pascal III, although the emperor was obliged to return to Germany as the army was decimated by malaria[542]. He invaded Italy again in 1174, and in May 1176 his troops were defeated at Legnano near Milan. A peace treaty was signed at Venice 24 Jul 1177[543]. On his return from Italy, he was crowned as king of Burgundy ("regnum Arelatense") at Arles 30 Jul 1178, thereby symbolically laying claim to the whole of Burgundy. He took the cross at Mainz 27 Mar 1188, in answer to the appeal of Pope Gregory VIII in Oct 1187 to relieve Jerusalem after its capture by Saladin, although he did not finally leave Germany until May 1189[544]. He received a warm welcome in Hungary and Serbia, but tensions developed with Emperor Isaakios II after he entered Byzantine territory 23 Jun 1189 at Brani?evo[545]. Anxious to protect his own interests, Emperor Isaakios signed a treaty of alliance with Saladin, which worsened the situation. After taking Philipopoulos [Plovdiv] and Adrianople, as well as threatening Constantinople, Emperor Friedrich forced Emperor Isaakios to give him provisions and ships to cross into Asia Minor, which he did in Mar 1190[546]. Friedrich was drowned while preparing to cross the river Calycadnus to enter Seleucia, apparently after falling into the river in heavy armour[547]. His body, ineffectively preserved in vinegar and taken with the army to Palestine, had disintegrated by the time it arrived at Antioch[548].

     "IRMGARD (-14 Jun [1101]). The Vita Sancti Marini et Anniani names "Irmgart filia [Chonradi alias Chuno comitis palatine], soror iunioris palatini"[765]. By charter dated 5 Sep 1073, marked "unecht" in the compilation, "Heinricus…Romanorum imperator augustus" confirmed the foundation of Kloster Rott "in comitatu Arnolfi comitis" by "Cononis palatini", specifying that the latter had two children "Cononem…et Irmingardam"[766]. It is clear that the date of this charter must be incorrect as the document refers to the death without children of Kuno junior. However, there is no reason to believe that the brief genealogical details recorded therein are incorrect. The Fundatio Monasterii Berchtesgadensis names "mater comitis Perengarii, Irmingart" as founder of Berchtesgaden monastery[767], which confirms her marriage to Gebhard [II] Graf von Sulzbach. The 14th century Deutsche Reimchronik of Kloster Kastel names “Yrmgart” as wife of “Grave Gebhart von dem Sultzpach”[768]. The more difficult question is to decide the identity of her other husband. The Fundatio Monasterii Berchtesgadensis also refers to a second marriage of Irmgard after "patre comitis Perengarii defuncto" but does not name this second husband[769]. He was presumably the father of "fratris sui Cunonis de Horburc" who is named in the same source as co-founder of the monastery with his brother Berengar Graf von Sulzbach. The necrology of Baumburg records the death "XVII Kal Jul" of "Irengardis com de Sultzpach sor na"[770], which suggests that she was still the widowed "Gräfin von Sulzbach" when she died. If this is correct, her other husband must have been Heinrich [I] von Lechsgemünd, son of [Kuno Graf von Lechsgemünd and his wife Mathilde von Horburg [Achalm] (-killed in battle near Mellrichstadt 7 Aug 1078), married as her first husband before Graf Gebhard. This, however, contradicts the explicit, although incomplete, statement in the Fundatio concerning her marriage after the death of Graf Berengar's father. Another factor is the reference to "Cunonis de Horburc" occurring in the Fundatio after it names his brother Berengar, which suggests that he was the junior partner in the foundation and also the younger brother. Until further information comes to light, it is assumed that Irmgard's Lechsgemünd marriage was her second and that her husband must therefore be identified as Kuno von Horburg. The Baumburg necrology entry must therefore be explained either because Irmgard had separated from her second husband before her death, reviving her previous title, or because the compiler of the necrology considered her first husband of more importance than her second and referred to her by his name. The necrology of Salzburg St Rudpert records the death "XVIII Kal Jul" of "Irmingardis com"[771].
