     "Otto was the son of Ezzo, Pfalzgraf von Lothringen, and Mathilde von Sachsen, a daughter of Emperor Otto II. He was the steward (Vogt) of Brauweiler Abbey, which had been founded by his parents.
     "In 1034 Otto's father died. As Otto's older brother Liudolf had died in 1031, he succeeded his father as count palatine. On 7 April 1045 Heinrich III, king of the Germans (emperor-elect) and duke of Swabia, offered the latter title to Otto. In exchange Otto gave up the county palatine, which was bestowed on his cousin Heinrich. His territories in Kaiserswerth and Duisburg also devolved to the crown.
     "Otto married a lady of the Egisheim family, possibly a daughter of Hugo VI, Graf im Nordgau und zu Egisheim. Their daughter Richenza married first Hermann III, Graf von Werl, and then Otto I von Northeim, Graf von Northeim, Herzog in Bayern, with whom she had several children.
     "Otto died unexpectedly at his castle, the Tomburg, in 1047 while preparing an imperial campaign against an invasion by Baudouin V, Graaf van Vlaanderen. He was buried in Brauweiler Abbey. In 1048 Emperor Heinrich III chose Otto, Markgraf von Schweinfurt, to succeed him as duke of Swabia."¹

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Otto II (c.?995 – 7 September 1047), a member of the Ezzonid dynasty, was Count Palatine of Lotharingia from 1034 until 1045 and Duke of Swabia from 1045 until his death.
Life
     "He was the son of the Lotharingian count palatine Ezzo (955–1043) and his wife Matilda (979–1025), a daughter of Emperor Otto II and his consort Theophanu.[1] He was a member of the Ezzonian dynasty. Otto's elder brother Herman became Archbishop of Cologne in 1036; his sister Richeza married the Polish king Mieszko II Lambert in 1013.
     "Upon the death of his father in 1034, Otto succeeded him as count palatine as well as count in Deutz and in the Rhenish Auelgau, as his elder brother Liudolf had died already in 1031. He also served as protector (Vogt) of Brauweiler Abbey near Cologne, which had been founded by his parents.
     "In the conflict with Duke Godfrey III of Lower Lorraine, Otto remained a loyal supporter of the Salian king Henry III. In turn Henry vested him with the princeless Duchy of Swabia, which he had seized upon the early death of Duke Herman IV. At Easter on 7 April 1045 in Goslar, the ducal title was awarded to Otto; in exchange, he gave up the office of count palatine, which was bestowed on his cousin Henry I. Also, his territories in Kaiserswerth and Duisburg devolved onto the crown.
Marriage and children
     "Otto married a daughter of Count Hugh IV of Egisheim. He had a daughter, Richenza (c.?1025 –1083), who married firstly Herman, Count of Werl, and secondly Otto of Nordheim. Another daughter, Hildegarde, married Frederick of Büren, and they were the parents of Duke Frederick I of Swabia. Recently, any matrimonial alliance of Otto has been disputed.
     "In 1047, Otto died unexpectedly at his castle, the Tomburg, while preparing an imperial campaign against the invading forces of Count Baldwin V of Flanders and Count Dirk IV of Holland. He was buried in Brauweiler Abbey; the ceremony was held by his brother-in-law, Bishop Bruno of Toul, the later Pope Leo IX. In 1048, Emperor Henry III appointed Otto of Schweinfurt his successor as Duke of Swabia.

; Per Genealogics:
     “Otto was born about 1025, the son of Benno, Graf von Northeim of a rich and influential Saxon family. Having distinguished himself in war and peace alike, in 1061 he received the duchy of Bavaria from the Dowager Empress Agnes, widow of Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich III and mother of the child Emperor Heinrich IV. He conspired with Anno, archbishop of Köln, to seize Heinrich IV in 1062, led a successful expedition into Hungary in 1063, and took a prominent part in the empire's government during the king's minority. In 1064 he went to Italy to settle a papal schism, was largely instrumental in securing the banishment from court of Adalbert, archbishop of Bremen, and crossed the Alps in the royal interests on two other occasions. He neglected his duchy, but added to his personal possessions, and in 1069 he shared in two expeditions in the east of Germany.
     “In 1070 Otto was accused by a certain Egino of being privy to a plot to murder the king, and it was decided he should submit to the ordeal of battle with the accuser. He asked for a safe-conduct to and from the place of meeting, and when this was refused he declined to appear and was consequently deprived of Bavaria, while his Saxon estates were plundered. He obtained no support in Bavaria, but raised an army among the Saxons and carried on a campaign of plunder against Heinrich IV until 1071, when he submitted. In the following year he received back his private estates.
     “When the Saxon revolt broke out in 1073 Otto was represented by Bruno, the author of _De bello Saxonico,_ as delivering an inspiring speech to the assembled Saxons at Wormsleben, after which he took command of the insurgents. By the peace of Gerstungen in 1074 Bavaria was restored to him. He participated in the Saxon rising of 1075, after which he was again pardoned and made administrator of Saxony. After the excommunication of Heinrich IV in 1076 Otto attempted to mediate between Heinrich and the Saxons, but when these efforts failed he again placed himself at their head. When Otto's restoration to Bavaria was assured, he assented to the election of Rudolf von Rheinfelden, Herzog von Schwaben, as German king, and by his skill and bravery he inflicted defeats on Heinrich's forces at Mellrichstadt, Flarchheim and Hohenmolsen. He remained in arms against the king until his death on 11 January 1083.
     “Otto is described as a noble, prudent and warlike man, and he possessed great abilities. His repeated pardons showed that Heinrich could not afford to neglect such a powerful personality, and his military talents were repeatedly displayed. By his wife Richenza von Schwaben, daughter of Otto, Herzog von Schwaben, count palatine of Lorraine, and widow of Hermann III, Graf von Werl, he left four sons and three daughters of whom three sons and all his daughters would have progeny. Otto is buried in the Nicolai Chapel in Northeim.”.¹³

     He was also known as Henry the Fat, he was from 1083 Count in Rittigau and Eichsfeld and from 1099 the Margrave of Frisia. He was the eldest son of Otto of Nordheim and Richenza of Swabia. He was, by his patrimony of Rittigau and Eichsfeld, one of the most influential Saxon princes of his age. In 1086 he married the widow Gertrude of Brunswick and united the lands of the counts of Katlenburg and the Brunonen to the Nordheimer Länderei. From the counts of Bilstein he inherited parts of the Werra valley, where he became the sole landholder. Further, he was the Vogt of Helmarshausen and founded a Benedictine monastery at Bursfelde in 1093.
     During the civil wars of the early 1080s Henry sided with the anti-king Herman of Salm, to whom he was related by marriage. In 1086 he and his brothers changed sides to support the Emperor Henry IV. Henry's wife, Gertrude, was the only sister of Egbert II, Margrave of Meissen, whose own marriage remained childless. By the right of inheritance Henry stood to receive Egbert's counties in Frisia on the margrave's death in 1090, though Meissen was granted by the emperor to another Henry. These Frisian counties, however, had been annexed from Egbert during the latter's rebellion in 1089 and were being administered by Conrad, Bishop of Utrecht. When Conrad was assassinated in 1099 the Emperor finally bestowed the counties on Henry. He immediately tried to regulate Frisian shipping and ignored the privileges granted to the town of Staveren. The Church, feeling threatened by Henry, allied with the merchant class and the townsmen. Though they received him on seeming friendly terms, he perceived their threat and tried to flee by boat. His ship was attacked at sea and sunk, though his wife escaped the assault. The day of his death is not known precisely, but he was buried in Bursfelde on 10 April 1101.
     Henry's only son, Otto III of Nordheim inherited his patrimony, while his daughter Richenza inherited the Katlenburger and Brunonen territories and united them to the House of Welf by her marriage to the future Emperor Lothair II. Henry's youngest daughter, Gertrude (c. 1090 – bef. 1165), was heiress of Bentheim and Rheineck. She married first Siegfried I of Weimar-Orlamünde and then Otto I of Salm. Henry's widow, Gertrude, married the aforementioned Henry, Margrave of Meissen.

If this is the kinship intended, the two men were related in the 4th and 7th degrees of kindred, or if you prefer third cousins thrice removed, by virtue of common descent from Gerbege (or Guepa) of Burgundy, died 1018/9, but by different husbands, as charted below.

     “Heinrich's wife Gertrud was the only sister of Ekbert II, Markgraf von Meissen, whose own marriage remained childless. By the right of inheritance Heinrich stood to receive Ekbert's counties in Friesland on Ekbert's death in 1090, though Meissen was granted by the emperor to another Heinrich. These Friesian counties, however, had been annexed from Ekbert during the latter's rebellion in 1089 and were administered by Conrad, bishop of Utrecht. When Conrad was assassinated in 1099 the emperor finally bestowed the counties on Heinrich. He immediately tried to regulate Friesian shipping and ignored the privileges granted to the town of Staveren. The Church, feeling threatened by Heinrich, allied with the merchant class and the townsmen. Though they received him on seemingly friendly terms, he perceived their threat and tried to flee by boat. His ship was attacked at sea and sunk, though his wife escaped the assault. The day of his death is not known precisely, but he was buried in Bursfelde on 10 April 1101.
     “Heinrich's only son Otto III von Northeim inherited his patrimony, while his daughter Richenza inherited the Katlenburg and Brunonen territories and united them to the House of Welf by her marriage to the future emperor Lothar von Supplinburg. Heinrich's youngest daughter Gertrude was heiress of Bentheim and Rheineck. She married first Siegfried von Ballenstedt, Graf von Orlamünde, Pfalzgraf von Lothringen, and then Otto I, Graf von Rheineck. Heinrich's widow Gertrud married Heinrich I, Graf von Eilenburg.”.³

He installed his son-in-law as administrator of the lands previously held by Matilda Ctss of Tuscany, after conceding papal ownership of them in return for a usufruct[398].

     "He was the son of the Lotharingian Count Palatine Ezzo (955–1043) and his wife Matilda of Germany, Countess Palatine of Lotharingia(979–1025), a daughter of Emperor Otto II and his consort Theophanu.[1] He was a member of the Ezzonian dynasty. Herman's younger brother Otto became Duke of Swabia in 1045; among his sisters were Richeza, who married the Polish King Mieszko II Lambert, and Theophanu, Abbess of Essen[citation needed].
     "Pope Benedict IX elevated him to the College of Cardinals around 1036, at the same time the Salian Emperor Conrad II appointed him Archbishop and granted important privileges to the Church in Cologne. Herman accompanied Conrad on his Italian campaign and remained loyal to his successor Henry III. In 1049 he received Pope Leo IX in Cologne and in 1051 consecrated Goslar Cathedral. His claritas generis allowed him to baptise and crown the emperor's newborn son Henry IV, a privilege that was disputed by Archbishop of Luitpold I of Mainz. Herman also supported the emperor during the revolt led by his own nephew Duke Conrad I of Bavaria.
     "As Cologne archbishop he served as Archchancellor of the Italian kingdom (Regnum Italicum) and is also mentioned as protector of Brauweiler Abbey (1053). He evolved plans to rebuild Cologne Cathedral modelled on St. Peter's in Rome. He and his sister Ida had the Romanesque St. Maria im Kapitol church built from about 1040 onwards, following the example of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore.
     "Archbishop Herman II died in Cologne and is buried in Cologne Cathedral. In the 13th century, the present-day Romanian city of Sibiu received its German name Hermannstadt probably in his honour.[citation needed]

The primary source which confirms that Pfalzgraf Hermann was the son of Pfalzgraf Heinrich has not yet been identified. After analysing properties held by Hermann and by succeeding Pfalzgrafen, an article in the Annalen des historischen Vereins für den Niederrhein suggests that Hermann was related to the Comtes de Luxembourg and Grafen von Gleiberg[413], although connections with these two families could be explained by the second marriage of Hermann’s widow, whose second husband was related to the Grafen von Gleiberg. Considering that Heinrich Pfalzgraf von Lothringen died in disgrace, it appears possible that Heinrich IV King of Germany appointed a rival from another family to the Pfalzgrafschaft. His birth date is estimated from his having been of age when he witnessed the 15 Apr 1064 charter quoted below. He succeeded as HERMANN Pfalzgraf von Lothringen.
