INTRODUCTION

 

 

Bavaria was the only one of the four original provinces of Germany to maintain an autonomous existence within part of its original territory throughout the medieval and into the modern period.� Formed as a Frankish protectorate by the Merovingians, and ruled by the dukes of the Agilolfing family, Bavaria was more or less independent from the mid-7th century.� The Carolingians were less tolerant of this situation and invaded Bavaria in 724, 743 and 749[1].� Charles I King of the Franks finally conquered the duchy of Bavaria in 788, forcing the abdication of the last Agilolfing Duke Tassilo II.� Bavaria was incorporated into the Frankish kingdom as a province, and was a sub-kingdom of the Carolingian Frankish empire from 814.�

 

After more than two centuries as a province in the Frankish empire, the Luitpolding family reasserted Bavarian autonomy in the early 10th century, by which time the central power of the Carolingians was in significant decline.� Luitpold, the earliest known definite ancestor of the family, was related to Emperor Arnulf (although the precise relationship is unknown) who installed him in Bavaria in [895/98].� Some contemporary sources attribute the title dux to Luitpold and his son Arnulf, although others refer to them as comes.� It is clear that the title dux was not at first formally recognised by the central authority of the kings of Germany as the early dukes are consistently referred to as comes in imperial diplomas until after the accession of King Otto I in 936.� The deposition of Duke Eberhard in 938 by King Otto marked a temporary decline in the region's authority on a national level.� Nevertheless, the internal position of the Bavarian dukes remained strong and unified, enabling them to maintain considerable influence over the counties within their duchy and claim reversionary rights in the estates of families which became extinct[2].� This is typified by the duke's role as commander of the tribal levy, in which even troops supplied to the king of Germany by the Bavarian bishops formed part of the ducal forces[3].�

 

Between the mid-940s and 1180, the dukes of Bavaria belonged to seven different dynasties.� Ducal appointment remained in the hands of the king/emperor who used it both as a means of rewarding service and strengthening his personal control over the province.� The latter objective was in practice only achieved when the king/emperor retained the duchy within his own hands, as was the case with Heinrich II, Heinrich III and Heinrich IV (through his mother) at various different times in the 11th century.� The installation of imperial relatives as dukes provided no guarantee of pliability, as Emperor Otto I found with his rebellious nephew Duke Heinrich II.�

 

The territory of the early marches in Bavaria remained under the control of the duke, who was the suzerain of the Markgrafen, which contrasted with the situation in Saxony.� The march of the "Bayerischen Nordgau" was established by King Otto I in the early 940s along the border with Bohemia.� The Ostmark, which later evolved into the margraviate of Austria, was formed in 976 by Emperor Otto II along the frontier with Hungary, although Markgrafen in the "Pannonian March" are recorded about a century earlier (see the document AUSTRIA).� The "K�rntner Mark", which later developed into the Steiermark or Styria, was also established in the late 10th century, although the precise date is uncertain.� Lastly, the march of Istria, which was able to establish greater autonomy because of its geographic distance from the central authority, was formed in north-east Italy in the early 11th century[4] (see the document CARINTHIA for the K�rtner Mark and the march of Istria).�

 

All the counties in Bavaria were fiefs of the duke, contrasting once more with the situation in Saxony.� Jordan asserts that there is no record in the 12th century of a count in Bavaria being appointed by the crown[5], although it is clear that there must have been some crown land in Bavaria as Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa" enfeoffed Heinrich "der L�we" with numerous imperial fiefs when he installed him as duke of Bavaria in 1156[6].� Regensburg, always the residence of the dukes of Bavaria, became an imperial free city in the 13th century.�

 

Religious administration in Bavaria centred on the archbishopric of Salzburg, established by the Carolingians in 785.� The bishoprics within the province were Freising, Passau and Regensburg, all dating from the mid-8th century.� In addition, the bishoprics of Eichst�tt and Augsburg in Bavaria, also founded around the same time, fell within the archiepiscopal province of Mainz.� Heinrich II King of Germany established the bishopric of Bamberg in 1007 as an exempt see, outside any archiepiscopal province and responsible direct to the Pope, presumably as a means of increasing imperial control in Bavaria over both church and lay authorities.�

 

The original territory of Bavaria was significantly reduced when Carinthia was separated as a separate duchy in 976.� The march of Austria remained a fiefdom of the duchy of Bavaria until 1156, when it was elevated to the status of a separate duchy in order to compensate Heinrich II Markgraf of Austria for the loss of Bavaria when Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa" returned it to the Welf family[7].� In 1180, after Emperor Friedrich I deprived Heinrich "der L�we" Duke of Bavaria and Saxony of his titles, he further partitioned Bavaria, creating Otto von Wittelsbach as duke in the Bavarian heartland and transforming the margraviate of Styria into a separate duchy[8].� Rule over different parts of Bavaria ( Lower Bavaria in the north and Upper Bavaria in the south) was divided between different family members.�

 

Although by then its territory was truncated, the Wittelsbach duchy consolidated its position and remained a powerful force in regional and international politics until the fall of the German Empire after the First World war.�

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1.��� DUKES of BAVARIA, AGILOLFING families

 

 

There is considerable uncertainty about the early dukes of Bavaria, not only their relationship to each other but even their names and order of succession.� The mid-13th century Series Ducum Bavari� lists, in order, the dukes from 514 as Theodo "dux primus", Theodo II, "Garibaldus rex", Tassilo [I] dux, Theodo III "quem sanctus Ruodbertus baptizavit", Theodebertus, Theodo IV "qui cum filiis sanctum Corbiniacum locavit Frisinge", Theodaldus dux, Grimoaldus dux "fratris filius", Hugpertus dux, Udilo dux "cum Theodone frater", Thassilo dux II "cum filio eius Theodone"[9].� This listing is not consistent with earlier sources.� The following attempts to highlights the differences but inevitably remains an incomplete assessment.� As noted in the Introduction to the present document, the Carolingians conquered Bavaria in 788 and reduced it to a province in the Frankish empire.�

 

 

THEODO, son of --- (-514).� THEODO I Duke of Bavaria.� The death in 514 of "Theodo dux Baioari�" is recorded in the Excerpta Altahensia[10].�

Theodo I had one child:�

1.         THEODO (-after 520).� He succeeded his father in 514 as THEODO II Duke of Bavaria.� The succession in 514 of "Theodo filius eius [=Theodo dux Baioari�]" is recorded in the Excerpta Altahensia[11].� The Annales Ducum Bavari� record that the Roman army was defeated by "Theodone secundo" at Oettingen in 520[12].�

 

 

1.         GARIBALD (-[591]).� GARIBALD I Duke of Bavaria.� The Salzburg Annals record that "Gerbaldus Bawari� regnum accepit" in 598[13], although this is inconsistent with the dates attributed in other sources to Duke Tassilo I (see below).� The references in primary sources to his wife imply that Garibald was already duke of Bavaria at the time of his marriage.� m (after 555) as her third husband, WALDRADA, widow (firstly) of THEODEBALD I King of the Franks, repudiated wife (secondly) of CLOTAIRE I King of the Franks, daughter of WACCHO King of the Lombards & his second wife Ostrogotha of the Gepides.� The Origo Gentis Langobardorum names "Wisigarda�secund� Walderada" as the two daughters of Wacho & his second wife, specifying that Waldrada married "Scusuald regis Francorum" and later "Garipald"[14].� The Historia Langobardorum names "Waldrada" as Wacho's second daughter by his second wife, specifying that she married "Chusubald rex Francorum"[15].� Paulus Diaconus names "Wisigarda�[et] secunda Walderada" as the two daughters of King Wacho & his second wife, specifying that Walderada married "Cusupald alio regi Francorum" and later "Garipald"[16].� Gregory of Tours names Vuldetrada as the wife of King Theodebald[17].� Herimannus names "Wanderadam" wife of "Theodpaldus rex Francorum" when recording her second marriage to "Lotharius rex patris eius Theodeberti patruus"[18].� According to Gregory of Tours, King Clotaire "began to have intercourse" with the widow of King Theodebald, before "the bishops complained and he handed her over to Garivald Duke of Bavaria"[19], which does not imply that King Clotaire married Waldrada.� Duke Garibald & his wife had three children:�

a)         GUNDOALD (-murdered 612).� Fredegar records that "Gundoaldus" invaded part of the kingdom of Guntram King of the Franks in Nov [584][20].� The Liber Histori� Francorum records that the Burgundians and Austrasians entered "paygo Suessionico cum Gundoaldo et Wintrione" and were defeated at "Brinnacum villam" and fled after the battle, dated to soon after the accession (in 592) of Childebert II as king in Burgundy[21].� The Annales Ducum Bavari� name "Gundoaldo" as son of "Garibaldo rege Baiorionem" when recording that he and his father fled to Authari King of the Lombards in 593[22].� Duke of Asti: the Origo Gentis Langobardorum records that "Theudelenda frater�Gundoald" accompanied his sister to Italy and was installed as "ducem in civitatem Astense" by his brother-in-law King Authari[23].� Fredegar records the death of Gundoald "shot with an arrow while he was relieving nature"[24].� Paulus Diaconus records that "Gunduald�germanus Theudelind� regin�dux in civitate Astensi" was killed by an arrow[25].� m ---, a Lombard.� Fredegar records the marriage of "Gundoaldus" and "de gente nobile Langobardorum�uxorem", naming their two sons "Gundeberto et Chairiberto"[26].� Gundoald & his wife had two children:�

i)          GUNDEBERT .� Fredegar names "Gundeberto et Chairiberto" as the two sons of Gundoald & his wife[27].�

ii)         CHARIBERT (-after [628]).� Fredegar names "Gundeberto et Chairiberto" as the two sons of Gundoald & his wife[28].� He supported his cousin Gundberga Queen of the Lombards in her dispute with her husband[29].� This dispute must have taken place in 628 at the earliest, assuming that the queen remained in exile for three years and her husband's accession took place in 625.� same person as�?ARIBERT (-Ticino 661, bur Basilica of the Saviour, Ticinum).� Paulus Diaconus records that Rodoald King of the Lombards was succeeded by "Aripert, filius Gundoaldi, qui fuerat germanus Theudelind� regin�"[30].� If this is correct, King Aribert was the first cousin, on her mother's side, of Queen Gundberga, the wife of at least two of King Aribert's predecessors.� Primary sources report the activities of Queen Gundberga in detail, suggesting that she may have been a person of sufficient influence at the Lombard court to have engineered the succession of her relative.� However, the relationship is not corroborated in other identified sources, all of which are silent on the origin of King Aripert.� He succeeded in 652 as ARIPERT King of the Lombards.�

-�������� KINGS of the LOMBARDS.�

b)         THEODELINDIS.� Her first betrothal is recorded by Fredegar who specifies that "Ago rex" married "Grimoaldi et Gundoaldi germanam�Teudelend� ex genere Francorum" who had been betrothed to "Childebertus"[31].� The Origo Gentis Langobardorum names "Theudelenda filia Garipald et Walderade de Baiuaria" as the wife of "Autarine filio Claffoni"[32].� Paulus Diaconus records the betrothal of "Flavius�rex Authari" and "Garibaldi�regis�Theudelindam suam filiam" and their subsequent marriage "Idus Maius"[33].� The Salzburg Annals name "Gerbaldi regis filiam Theodelingam" when recording her marriage to "Otharius rex Lombardorum"[34].� The marriage of "Theodolindum filiam Gerwaldi regis Baioariorum" to "Otharius rex Longobardorum" is recorded in the Excerpta Altahensia[35].� Paulus Diaconus records that, after the death of her first husband, "Theudelinda" wisely chose "Agilulfum ducem Taurinatium" as her husband and king of the Lombards[36].� The Annales Ducum Bavari� record her second marriage to "Aigilulfus rex Lombardum"[37]. �The Origo Gentis Langobardorum records that "Theudelenda filia Garipald et Walderade de Baiuaria" married secondly "Acquo" who installed himself as king[38].� The Chronicle of Andreas of Bergamo names "Teudelinda filia Garibaldi Baioariorum rex" as the wife first of Autari and then of Agilolf[39].� Betrothed to CHILDEBERT II King of the Franks in Austrasia, son of SIGEBERT I King of the Franks & his wife Brunechildis of the Visigoths (570-[2/28] Mar 596).� m firstly (before [590]) as his second wife, AUTHACHAR [Authari] King of the Lombards, son of KLEPH King of the Lombards & his wife --- (-5 Sep 590).� m secondly (late 590 or after) [as his second wife,] AGILOLF King of the Lombards, son of --- (-615).�

c)         daughter .� Paulus Diaconus records that "Euin dux Tridentinorum" married "filiam Garibaldi Baioariorum regis"[40].� m EVIN --- (-[590/96]).� Paulus Diaconus records that "Euin Tridentinus dux" was given "Tridentinum territorium" after it was devastated by "duce Francorum Chramnichis" whom he defeated "in loco qui Salurnis dicitur"[41].� Paulus Diaconus records that "Euin dux Tridentinus" led the army of King Authari when he invaded Istria[42].� Paulus Diaconus records the death of "Euin�duce in Tridentu" and that "Gaidoaldus" was installed as his successor[43].� This text immediately precedes the report of the death of Childebert II King of the Franks which is dated to 596.�

 

 

1.         TASSILO, son of --- (-609).� TASSILO I Duke of Bavaria 591.� Paulus Diaconus records that "Tassilo" was ordained as "Baioarium rex" by "Childeberto rege Francorum"[44].� This passage is included in the text after the accession of Agilulf King of the Lombards, which is dated to [590], but before the report of the death of Evin Duke of Trentino.� The Annales Ducum Bavari� record that "Tassilo dux" reigned in Bavaria in 593[45].� m ---.� The name of Duke Tassilo's wife is not known.� Duke Tassilo I & his wife had one child:�

a)         GARIBALD (-640).� Paulus Diaconus names "Tassilone duce Baiorariorum, filius eius Garibaldus" when recording that he was defeated by the Slavs "in Agunto" after his father died[46].� GARIBALD II Duke of Bavaria 609.��

 

 

1.         CHRODOALD, son of --- (-murdered [625/26]).� Fredegar records that "ex procerebus de gente nobile Aygolfingam nomen Chrodoaldus" fell into disfavour with King Dagobert I "through the instrumentality of Bishop Arnulf" as he "was for ever greedily seizing the property of others � [and] as proud and insolent as could be", and that he was killed in the 41st year of the reign of King Clotaire II by "Berthar homo Scarponiensis"[47].� It is not known how Chrodoald was related to the Agilolfing family of the Dukes of Bavaria, if at all.� m (before 609) --- of the Franks, daughter of [SIGEBERT I King of the Franks & his wife Brunechildis of the Visigoths].� The Vita Columbani names "Chrodoaldus�regi Theuderico fideli" and his wife "amitam Theudeberti regis"[48].� Chrodoald & his wife had one child:�

a)         FARA (-killed in battle 641).� Dux in Austrasia.� Fredegar records that "Faram filio Chrodoaldo" rebelled against King Sigebert, helped by Radulf Duke of Thuringia, but was killed[49].�

 

 

1.         --- .� Duke of Bavaria.� The identity of this Bavarian duke is not known, assuming that the report of Paulus Diaconus is accurate.� m --- of Friulia, daughter of GISULF II Duke of Friulia & his wife Romilda --- (before 610-).� Paulus Diaconus names "una Appa alia Gaila�duarum vero nomina non retinemus" as the daughters of "Gisulfus Foroiulanus dux", recording that one later married "Alamannorum regi, alia�Baioariorum principi", without specifying which[50].�

 

 

1.         THEODO, son of --- .� THEODO III Duke of Bavaria 640.� The Annales Ducum Bavari� name (in order) "Theodo�Theodo [et] Theodebertum" as Dukes of Bavaria[51].� The mid-13th century Series Ducum Bavari� lists, in order, the dukes from 514 as Theodo "dux primus", Theodo II, "Garibaldus rex", Tassilo [I] dux, Theodo III "quem sanctus Ruodbertus baptizavit"�[52].� Presumably "sanctus Rudobertus" refers to Ruotbert who was the first Abbot and Bishop of Salzburg from 696 to 717.� If this is correct, this baptism cannot refer to Duke Theodo III, the dates being more consistent with Duke Theodo V (see below).� Some corroboration for the baptism of a duke Theodo is provided by the Excerpta Altahensia, which records the baptism in 580 of "Theodonem ducem"[53].� In this case the date of the baptism is much earlier than the likely dates of Duke Theodo III, and falls during the reign of Duke Garibald I.� Clearly there is something fundamentally wrong with the chronology.�

 

 

1.         THEODO, son of --- .� THEODO IV Duke of Bavaria.� The Annales Ducum Bavari� name (in order) "Theodo�Theodo [et] Theodebertum" as Dukes of Bavaria, this being the second Theodo[54].� The mid-13th century Series Ducum Bavari� lists, in order, the dukes from 514 as Theodo "dux primus", Theodo II, "Garibaldus rex", Tassilo [I] dux, Theodo III "quem sanctus Ruodbertus baptizavit", Theodebertus, Theodo IV "qui cum filiis sanctum Corbiniacum locavit Frisinge"�[55], which appears to ignore this Duke Theodo IV.� Theodo IV had one child:�

a)         LANTPERT .� The Annales Ducum Bavari� name "Lantpertus" as son of the second "Theodo", recording that he killed "sanctum Emmaramum"[56].�

 

 

1.         THEODEBERT, son of --- .� THEODEBERT Duke of Bavaria.� The Annales Ducum Bavari� name (in order) "Theodo�Theodo [et] Theodebertum" as Dukes of Bavaria, recording that "Aspirandus et�Liuprandus" fled to "Theodebertus dux" in 670[57].���

 

 

[Two] siblings:�

1.         THEODO, son of --- (-11 Dec 718).� THEODO V Duke of Bavaria.� The mid-13th century Series Ducum Bavari� lists, in order, the dukes from 514 as Theodo "dux primus"�Theodebertus, Theodo IV "qui cum filiis sanctum Corbiniacum locavit Frisinge"�[58].� The Annales Ducum Bavari� record that "Theodo dux" led Bavaria in 712, specifying that he and his son Grimoald placed "sanctum Corbinatium in castro Frisinge"[59].� The Salzburg Annals record that "Theodo dux Bawarie" attacked Rome in 716, and died in 718[60].� The Historia Episcoporum Pataviensium et Ducum Bavari� records the death in 718 of "Theodo dux"[61].� The necrology of Nonnberg records the death "3 Id Dec" of "Theodo dux"[62].� m [FOLCHAID, daughter of ---].� A listing of Dukes of Bavaria in the necrology of Salzburg St Peter names "Folchaid" next to "Theoto", other similar paired entries in the same source being shown to refer to husband and wife[63].� Duke Theodo V & his wife had [four] children:�

a)         THEODEBERT [Dietbercht] (-724).� The Historia Episcoporum Pataviensium et Ducum Bavari� records that "Theobaldus et Grimoaldus filii eius" succeeded "Theodo dux" in 718[64].� He succeeded his father in 718 as THEODEBERT joint Duke of Bavaria, jointly with his brothers.� The mid-13th century Series Ducum Bavari� lists, in order, the dukes from 514 as Theodo "dux primus"� Theodo IV "qui cum filiis sanctum Corbiniacum locavit Frisinge", Theodaldus dux, Grimoaldus dux "fratris filius"�[65], which appears to ignore this duke Theodebert.� In Rh�tien, at Botzen.� m ELINHAST, daughter of ---.� The primary source which confirms the name of Duke Theodebert's wife has not so far been identified.� Duke Theodebert & his wife had one child:�

i)          GUNTRUD .� Paulus Diaconus records the marriage of "Guntrut filiam Teutperti Baioariorum ducis" and "Liutprand rex"[66].� m LIUTPRAND King of the Lombards, son of ANSPRAND King of the Lombards & his wife Theodorada --- (-[late 743/early 744], bur Basilica of Hadrian).�

b)         GRIMOALD (murdered 728).� The Historia Episcoporum Pataviensium et Ducum Bavari� records that "Theobaldus et Grimoaldus filii eius" succeeded "Theodo dux" in 718[67].� He succeeded his father in 718 as GRIMOALD joint Duke of Bavaria, jointly with his brothers.� The Annales Ducum Bavari� name "Grimoaldi et Theodualdi duces" as sons of "Theodo dux", recording that they were joint dukes in 723, Grimoald ruling alone after the death of his brother[68].� in Ober-Bayern, at Freising.� The Historia Episcoporum Pataviensium et Ducum Bavari� records the death in 729 of "Grimoaldus dux Bavarie"[69].� m as her second husband, PILITRUDE, widow of his brother THEODOALD, daughter of ---.� A listing of Dukes of Bavaria in the necrology of Salzburg St Peter names "Pilidruth" next to "Crimolt", indicating that she was presumably his wife[70].� The Continuator of Fredegar records that "matrona quondam�Beletrude et nepta sua Sunnichilde" were captured and taken to Austrasia by Charles "Martel" in [724/25][71].� Duke Grimoald & his wife had one child:�

c)         THEODOALD (-after 718).� The Annales Ducum Bavari� name "Grimoaldi et Theodualdi duces" as sons of "Theodo dux", recording that they were joint dukes in 723[77].� He succeeded his father in 718 as THEODOALD joint Duke of Bavaria, jointly with his brothers.� The mid-13th century Series Ducum Bavari� lists, in order, the dukes from 514 as Theodo "dux primus"�Theodo IV "qui cum filiis sanctum Corbiniacum locavit Frisinge", Theodaldus dux, Grimoaldus dux "fratris filius", Hugpertus dux[78].� Im Nordgau, at Passau.� m firstly WALTRUDE, daughter of ---.� The primary source which names Waltrude as first wife of Duke Theodoald has not so far been identified.� m secondly as her first husband, PILITRUDE, daughter of ---.� The primary source which identifies Pilitrude as second wife of Duke Theodoald has not yet been identified.� She married secondly her first husband's brother Grimoald.�

d)         [--.� m ---.]� One child:�

i)          SUANACHILDIS [Suanhilde] (-after 17 Sep 741).� The precise parentage of Suanachildis is not known.� The Continuator of Fredegar records that "matrona quondam�Beletrude et nepta sua Sunnichilde" were captured and taken to Austrasia by Charles "Martel" in [724/25][79].� Einhard names "Swannhilde neptem Odilonis ducis Baioariorum" as the mother of Grifo[80].� The precise relationship between Suanhilde and Pilitrude, who was the wife in turn of the brothers Grimoald and Theodoald, has not been identified.� She instigated the marriage of her stepdaughter to Odilo Duke of Bavaria according to the Continuator of Fredegar[81].� After the death of her husband, she incited her son to rebel against her stepsons.� She was defeated and sent to the monastery of Chelles, Seine-et-Marne.� "Karlus maiorum domus filius Pippini quondam" donated property "villa Clippiacum in pago Parisiaco" to the abbey of St Denis by charter dated 17 Sep 741, subscribed by "Radberti comitis, Raygaubaldi comitis, Salaconis comitis, matrone Sonechildis, Grifonis filii sui"[82].� m (725) as his second wife, CHARLES �Martel� maiordomus of Austrasia and Neustria, son of PEPIN "le Gros" or "d'Herstal" & his second wife Chalpais [Alpais] ([690]-Quierzy-sur-Oise, Aisne 22 Oct 741, bur �glise de l'abbaye royale de Saint Denis).�

2.         [---- .� m ---.]� [Two possible children:]

a)         [ODILO (-18 Jan 748, bur Hostenhoven, Kloster Gengenbach).� The parentage of Odilo is not known.� Einhard names "Swannhilde neptem Odilonis ducis Baioariorum" as the mother of Grifo[83].� As shown above, the Continuator of Fredegar names "matrona quondam�Beletrude et nepta sua Sunnichilde"[84].� Reading these two sources together, the impression is that Odilo may have been a brother of Dukes Grimoald and Theodald.� However, all sources so far identified only name the latter two as the sons of Duke Theodo.� It is assumed that Odilo was not the brother or son of Duke Hugobert, whom he succeeded, as such a relationship is not mentioned in any of the contemporary sources so far identified.� It appears more likely that Odilo was related more remotely to his predecessors, but the precise relationship can only be guessed at.� He succeeded in 739 as ODILO Duke of Bavaria.� The Salzburg Annals record that Odilo succeeded as Duke of Bavaria in 739 following the death of "Hucbertus dux Bawarie"[85].]�

The following two individuals are referred to in primary sources as Markgrafen in Bavaria.� The precise extent of their jurisdiction is not known, but the title implies rule over a "March".� It is possible that this Bavarian March is the same as the March of Pannonia, over which Markgrafen are recorded during the 870s to 890s (see the document AUSTRIA).�

 

 

1.         ENGELDEO, son of --- (-after 895).� King Carloman granted property "in pago Tonageuue in comitatu Engildeo" to the priest Iob by charter dated 3 Dec 878[114].� "Arnolfus�rex" granted property "in pago Nordgouue�in comitatu sui senioris in loci Phuncina" to "Engildeonis comitis�vassallo Gotahelmi" by charter dated 889[115].� "Arnolfus�rex" granted property "in pago Quinzingouue in comitatu Hunolfi" to Kloster St Emmeram by charter dated 21 Mar 890 which names "Engildeo comes, Odalrich comes, Meginhart comes, Chunipercht comes, Kerolt comes, Rumolt comes, Geio comes"[116].� Markgraf [in Bavaria] [890/95].� The Annales Fuldenses record that "Engildieo marchensis Baioariorum" was deprived of his honours in 895, and in his place that "Liutboldus nepos regis" was appointed[117].� "Arnolfus�rex" returned land in "pago Nortgowe in comitatu Cheldionis", previously taken by "Hildigardis neptis nostra et Engeldichd comes�et Sigo vicarius eius", to "Megingozo vasallo�Erkenboldi episcopi" by charter dated 5 May 895[118].�

LUITPOLD, son of --- ([850/60]-killed in battle near Pressburg 4 Jul 907).� His birth date is estimated from the estimated date of his [supposed] first marriage.� Markgraf [in Bavaria]: the Annales Fuldenses record that "Engildieo marchensis Baioariorum" was deprived of his honours in 895, and in his place that "Liutboldus nepos regis" was appointed[123].� The Annales Fuldenses record disputes between "duos fratres gentis Marahensium, Moymirum ac Zuentibaldum" in 898, which prompted Emperor Arnulf to send "marchiones suos, Liutboldum et Arbonum comitem" to Moravia to protect the Bavarians[124].� "Arnolfus imperator augustus" gave property in "Charentariche in comitatu ipsius consanguinei nostri [Liutbaldi]�Gurca�et�in Gurcatala et in alia loco qui dicitur Zulszah" to "viro progenie bon� nobilitatis exorto Zuentibolch�Liutbaldi�propinqui ac illustris nostri marchionis vassallo" at the request of "Iringi et Isangrimi�comitum nostrorum" by charter dated 31 Aug 898[125].� "Arnolfus imperator augustus" granted to "viro progenie bon� nobilitatis Zuentibolch�Liutbaldi�propinqui ac illustris nostri marchionis vassallo" property "in Charentariche in comitatu ipsius consanguinei nostri" by charter dated 19 Jan 901 on the proposal of "Liutbaldi�comitis et�propinqui nostri"[126].� [Duke] of Bavaria: the Annales Ducum Bavari� record that "Arnulfus [rex]" left the duchy of Bavaria to "Leupoldo cuidam nobili" in 899[127].� "Ludovuicus�rex" donated property to Kloster St Florian by charter dated 19 Jan 901 on the proposal of "Liutbaldi�comitis et�propinqui nostri"[128].� It is possible that Luitpold ruled as Duke of Bohemia in 903, as shown by the charter dated 24 Jun 903 under which "Hludowicus�rex" confirmed privileges to Kloster St Gallen in which among "fidelium nostrum" was listed "Luitpold dux Boemanorum"[129], although it is possible that "Boemanorum" was a copyist's error for "Baiorariorum" as this appears to be the only reference to Luitpold ruling in Bohemia.� "Hludowicus�rex" granted property to the church of Freising by charter dated 30 Nov 903 in which among "fidelium nostrum" was listed "Liutboldi illustris comitis et cari propinqui nostri"[130].� "Hludowicus�rex" granted property "in valle�Liupinatal in comitatu eiusdem Otacherii" to "Otacharii�comitis nostri filio Arpo" after consulting "fidelium nostrorum Luitpoldi, Arponis, Iringi, Cumpoldi et Paponis comitum" by charter dated 10 Mar 904[131].� "Hludowicus�rex" confirmed an exchange of properties between Kloster Fulda and Kloster Echternach after consulting "fidelium nostrorum comitum vero Kebeharti, Luitpoldi, Burcharti, Eginonis, Liutfredi, Iringi et Cunpoldi" by charter dated 19 Mar 907[132].� Regino records that "Liutbaldus dux occisus est" in 907 fighting the Hungarians[133].�

[m firstly ([875/85] or before) ---.� There is no direct indication of a first marriage of Duke Luitpold.� However, considering the likely birth date of his eldest son Arnulf, the mother of the latter must have been born in [860/70].� If this is correct, a marriage in 913 between the widow of Duke Luitpold, then beyond child-bearing age, and Konrad I King of Germany would seem surprising.]�

m [secondly] as her first husband, KUNIGUNDE, sister of Graf ERCHANGER [Ahalolfinger], daughter of --- (-after 7 Jun 914, bur Kloster Lorsch).� Her two marriages are confirmed by the Annales Alamannicorum which record the marriage in 913 of "sororem [Erchangeri] Liupoldi relictam" with the king[134].� Her second husband arranged their marriage in an unsuccessful attempt to ally himself with her brother and with Arnulf Duke of Bavaria[135].� "Chuonradus�rex" granted rights to Kloster Lorsch by charter dated 7 Jun 914 which names "coniugis nostre Chunigunde regine"[136].� She married secondly (913) Konrad I King of Germany [Konradiner].�

Luitpold & his [first] wife had one child:�

1.         ARNULF ([875/85]-14 Jul 937, bur Regensburg St Emmeram).� Regino records that "filius suus [=Liutbaldus dux] Arnulfus" succeeded his father as dux in 907[137].� The Salzburg Annals name "Liupoldus dux, pater Arnolfi ducis"[138].� His birth date range is estimated based on the likelihood that Arnulf must have been adult and established in his career when he was accepted as his father's successor in 907, but must be considered approximate.� He referred to himself in 908 as ARNULF Duke of Bavaria in a charter confirming an exchange of land between Drakolf Bishop of Freising and Konrad chor-bishop of Freising[139].�

Luitpold & his [second] wife had one child:�

2.         BERTHOLD (-23 Nov 947, bur Kloster Niederaltaich).� Liutprand names "Bertaldus Bagoariorum dux" as brother of "Arnulfi ducis"[140].� It seems more likely that Berthold was the son of Duke Luitpold by his wife Kunigunde, bearing in mind that the latter's brother was also named Berthold.� Judging from the known dates of Berthold's career, it would not be surprising if he was born several years after his [half-]brother Arnulf, whose birth date is estimated in [875/85] as shown above.� He was installed as BERTHOLD Duke of Bavaria in 938 by Otto I King of Germany after the rebellion and expulsion of his nephew Eberhard, marking a decline in Bavarian autonomy which was symbolised by King Otto appointing Herolt as the new archbishop of Salzburg in 939[141].� "Otto�rex" gave Abtei Moosburg to the bishopric of Freising at the request of "ducis�Perchtoldi�Bavariensis regionis principum" by charter dated 29 May 940[142].� "Otto�rex" gave property "in pago Ufgovve in comitatu Marchvvardi iuxta rivum Fuchtebah" to "comiti Marchvvardo [vassallo ducis Perchtoldi]" by charter dated 13 Jul 940 at the request of "ducis nostri Perchtoldi, simul et Kerungi ac Hiltiboldi comitum"[143].� "Otto�rex" granted property to "nostri servum Reginpreht" at the request of "ducis�Perehtoldi et Hiltibaldi comitis cuidam�comiti�Cadelahc" by charter dated 22 Sep 942[144].� The Annalium Ratisponensium Supplementum records the death in 949 of "Perchtoldus dux Noricorum"[145].� The necrology of Regensburg St Emmeram records the death "IX Kal Nov" of "Perchtoldus dux"[146].� m BIELETRUD, daughter of --- (-after 29 Sep 976).� "Otto�imperator augustus" returned property "in pagis Swanifelden, Norekawe, Solezgawe" to "nobili matrone Biledrut" which had been confiscated from "maritus eius Berchtoldus dux" owned by him "tempore Arnolfi ducis", by charter dated 29 Sep 976[147].� She founded the convent of Bergen.� Duke Berthold & his wife had [two] children:�

a)         HEINRICH (-5 Oct 989, bur [Niederaltaich]).� "Henricus Minor, filius Bertoldi" is named in the Annalista Saxo, when recording his installation as Duke of Bavaria in 983[148].� Still a minor on his father's death, he was passed over in the succession to Bavaria when Otto I King of Germany established his own brother Heinrich as Duke[149].� He was appointed HEINRICH I Duke of Carinthia in 976 by Otto II King of Germany who had abstracted both Carinthia and the Italian marches from the duchy of Bavaria to create this new duchy.� "Otto�imperator augustus" freed "clericum nomine Reginbato" at the request of "Heinricus Karentanorum dux" by charter dated 6 Apr 977[150].� He supported Heinrich II "der Z�nker" Duke of Bavaria in his rebellion against his cousin Emperor Otto II.� Together, they expelled Bishop Pilgrim from Passau, but were besieged there, put on trial at Magdeburg in 978, and imprisoned[151].� After his release, he was installed as HEINRICH III Duke of Bavaria at Verona in 983[152], but deprived of Bavaria in [early 985] when the duchy was returned to Heinrich I "der Z�nker" as part of the terms of settlement of the latter's rebellion against King Otto III[153].� Heinrich was restored as Duke of Carinthia as part of this settlement[154].� "Heinricus dux Karintanorum�uxoris sue Hiltigard�" donated property "in villa Vfhouun�aliam in villa sancti Georgii" [Aufhofen, St Georg] to Brixen cathedral by charter dated to [985][155].� The necrology of Fulda records the death in 989 of "Heinrichus dux"[156].� The Altahense Annales record the death in 989 of "Heinricus dux Karintanorum"[157].� m HILDEGARD, daughter of --- (-6 Aug after 989).� "Heinricus dux Karintanorum�uxoris sue Hiltigard�" donated property "in villa Vfhouun�aliam in villa sancti Georgii" [Aufhofen, St Georg] to Brixen cathedral by charter dated to [985][158].� The death of Hiltigard, widow of Heinrich III Duke of Bavaria, is recorded at Bamberg Cathedral on 6 Aug[159].�

b)         [KUNIGUNDE .� Wegener refers to the donation by Babo Burggraf von Regensburg and his wife Mechtild to St Emmeram dated [1000/05] for their souls and that of his wife's brother "Perahtold", which also names her mother Kunigunde[160], speculating that Kunigunde was the daughter of Berthold Duke of Bavaria.� m ULRICH Graf von Schweinachgau, son of ---.]�

 

 

ARNULF, son of LUITPOLD Markgraf in Bavaria & his [first] wife --- ([875/85]-14 Jul 937, bur Regensburg St Emmeram).� Regino records that "filius suus [=Liutbaldus dux] Arnulfus" succeeded his father as dux in 907[161].� The Salzburg Annals name "Liupoldus dux, pater Arnolfi ducis"[162].� His birth date range is estimated based on the likelihood that Arnulf must have been adult and established in his career when he was accepted as his father's successor in 907, but must be considered approximate.� He referred to himself in 908 as ARNULF Duke of Bavaria in a charter confirming an exchange of land between Drakolf Bishop of Freising and Konrad chor-bishop of Freising[163].� "Chuonradus�rex" made donations by charter dated 5 Mar 912 with the consent of "fidelium nostrorum comitum vero Sigihardi, Arnolfi, Erchangarii, Odalrici, Perchtoldi, Chuonradi, Herimanni, Luitfredi atque Iringi"[164], which shows not only that Arnulf was not titled "dux" in official national documents but also that he was considered second in importance among the nobility in the realm at that time, assuming that the order of the names is of significance.� He had the power to distribute bishoprics in his territory, although the right passed to the king of Germany on his death[165].� He was expelled from Bavaria by his stepfather Konrad I King of Germany in 915 but soon returned[166].� A reaffirmation of his rule by the Bavarians in 919 is recorded in the 12th century copies of the Salzburg Annals, which imply that he may have been appointed to rule as king in a wider German context, presumably as a rival to Heinrich I King of Germany[167].� He submitted to King Heinrich in 921[168].� "Heinricus�rex" confirmed donations to Kloster Kempten by charter dated 30 Jun 929 at the request of "comitum Arnolfi et Heberhardi"[169].� This charter appears to refer to Arnulf and his son, although it is surprising that Arnulf is not referred to with the title "dux".� The necrology of Fulda records the death in 937 of "Arnolt dux"[170].� The necrology of St Gall records the death "II Id Jul" of "Arnolfi ducis Baioariorum"[171].�

m ---.� The name and origin of Duke Arnulf's wife are not known.� Wegener[172] speculates that she was --- of Friulia, daughter of Eberhard Duke of the March of Friulia [Unruochingi], ostensibly for onomastic reasons on the basis of the transmission of the names Eberhard and Judith into the family, used first for Duke Arnulf's children.� This daughter is, however, not listed among the children of Duke Eberhard set out in the cartulary of Cysoing abbey[173], although she may be identical to one of the unnamed daughters.� From a chronological point of view, it is unlikely that the wife of Arnulf Duke of Bavaria was the daughter of Duke Eberhard.� The latter's children must have been born between [840] and [860], whereas Duke Arnulf's children were probably born between [905] and [920], suggesting that their mother was born in [880/90].�

Duke Arnulf & his wife had seven child:�

1.         EBERHARD ([905/10]-after 938).� The Annales ex Annalibus Ivravensibus Antiquis records that "Longobardi" accepted "Eparhardum filium Arnolfi ducis" as their lord in 934 and that his father confirmed his succession in Bavaria in 935[174].� His birth date range is based on the assumption that he was adult when accepted as his father's heir in 935.� "Heinricus�rex" confirmed donations to Kloster Kempten by charter dated 30 Jun 929 at the request of "comitum Arnolfi et Heberhardi"[175].� This charter appears to refer to Arnulf and his son, although it is surprising that Arnulf is not referred to with the title "dux".� He succeeded his father in 937 as EBERHARD Duke of Bavaria.� Pope Leo VII addressed a letter dated 938 to "Eberhardo duci Bawariorum"[176].� After Duke Eberhard defied him in some way, Otto I King of Germany invaded Bavaria twice in 938, deposed Eberhard and forced him into exile after the second expedition[177].��

2.         ARNULF (-killed in battle near Regensburg 22 Jul 954).� The Annales Sangallenses record that "Adalbert filius Perehctoldi et Arnolfus filius Arnolfi ducis" were killed in 954[178].� He is named as son of Arnulf in 6 Feb 954[179].� He rebelled against Otto I King of Germany in 954, aiming to re-establish his family's position in Bavaria but was killed in the first siege of Regensburg[180].� The necrology of churches of Freising records the death "XI Kal Aug" of "Arnolt com"[181], which is assumed refers to Pfalzgraf Arnulf.� m ---.� The name of Arnulf's wife is not known.� Arnulf & his wife had [two] children:�

a)         BERTHOLD von Reisensburg ([930]-after 21 Jul 976).� The Annales Sancti Emmerammi record that "Perahtold filius Arnulphi" was expelled "de Norica" in 951[182].� His birth date is estimated from his adult career starting in 951, but bearing in mind the likely birth date range of his father based on the estimated birth date of his oldest paternal uncle in [905/10].� The Vita S Oudalrici names "Perehtoldus, filius Arnulfi, de castello Risinesburc" when recording that he fought the Hungarians in [Aug 955][183].� "Otto�imperator augustus" returned property "quod vocatur Metama" previously donated by "Peretoldus Arnoulfi filius" to Kloster Metten by charter dated 21 Jul 976 "per petiticionem Heinrici sanct� Auguste civitatis episcopi et Liutpaldi marchionis"[184].� m ---.� The name of Berthold's wife is not known.� Berthold & his wife had [one possible] child:�

i)          [FRIEDRICH [I] "Roch" (-Jerusalem before 1020, bur Jerusalem).� According to Wegener, Graf Friedrich [I] was the son of Berthold von Reisensburg[185].� He bases this on "Berthold" witnessing several exchanges of property in the oberen Isar dated [990/99], and equating him with Berthold von Reisensburg.� Several points can be made about this theory.� Firstly, it seems surprising that such an illustrious connection with the Luitpoldinger Dukes of Bavaria would not have been mentioned by the various contemporary sources which relate the early history of the Grafen von Diessen.� Secondly, the estimated birth date of Berthold von Reisensburg is restricted to the limited period [929/31], bearing in mind the known dates of his own career and the likely birth date of his father.� His last known mention is dated 976.� Another burst of activity fourteen years after this date, when he would have been in his sixties, would be surprising.� Thirdly, judging from the 976 entry, Berthold von Reisensburg appears to have fallen into disgrace with Emperor Otto III.� There is no record of his return to favour.� It is therefore likely that his descendants (if any) fell into obscurity.� Fourthly, it is surprising that Berthold von Reisensburg would not have been described as comes even in entries relating to the period after his disgrace, as he would presumably have continued to claim and use the title.�

3.         HERMANN (-954 or after).� The Vita S Oudalrici names "Heremannum fratrem Arnolfi" when recording that he was captured in 954 when returning from Ulrich Bishop of Augsburg[187].�

4.         HEINRICH .� "Otto�rex" donated property "in loco Crapofelt [in regno Carentino]" previously inherited by "Heinricus Arnolfi filius" to Salzburg church at the request of "fratris nostri�Heinrici" by charter dated 10 Dec 953[188].�

5.         JUDITH ([915/25][189]-29 Jun after 974).� The wife of "Henrici ducis, fratris primi Ottonis" is called "filia Arnoldi ducis quondam Bawari�", but not named, in the Annalista Saxo[190].� Widukind records the marriage of "filia ducis Arnulfi" to "dominus Heinricus"[191].� The mother of the wife of "Purchardo duce Alamannorum" was "filiam materter�" of "Heinricus filius Purchardi comitis" who was installed as Bishop of Augsburg in 973, according to the Vita Oudalrici[192].� After the death of her husband, she was suspected of a relationship with Abraham Bishop of Freising but was exonerated by the Bishop, who sang the mass at her burial[193].� "Otto�imperator augustus" granted property "salinam�Hal�in pago Salzburggeuue et in comitatu Uuillihelmi comitis" to "domn� Iudit� fratris nostri beat� memori� Heinrici ducis vidu�" by charter dated 27 Apr 973[194].� She was imprisoned when her son rebelled in [974/75], and obliged to enter the convent of Niederm�nster at Regensburg[195].� The necrology of the Lower Monastery in Regensburg records the death "III Kal Jul" of "Ievta ducissa fundatrix inferioris monasterii"[196].� The necrology of Regensburg St Emmeram records the death "III Kal Jul" of "Judita vidualis nonna"[197].� m ([937/40]) HEINRICH, son of HEINRICH I King of Germany & his second wife Mathilde [Immedinger] ([Dec 919/22 Apr 922]-Regensburg 1 Nov 955, bur Regensburg St Emmeram).� Duke of Lotharingia [940].� He was installed as HEINRICH I Duke of Bavaria in 947 by his older brother[198].� The necrology of Regensburg St Emmeram records the death "Kal Nov" of "Heinricus dux Baioaria hic sepultus"[199].�

1.         HEINRICH (6 May [973]-Pfalz Grona 3 Jul 1024, bur Bamberg cathedral).� He is named as son of Duke Heinrich in the Annalista Saxo, when recording his coronation as king of Germany[255].� The necrology of Merseburg records "6 May" as "natalis dies heinrici imperatoris"[256].� He succeeded his father in 995 as HEINRICH IV Duke of Bavaria.� He was elected as HEINRICH II "der Heilige" King of Germany at Mainz 7 Jun 1002, crowned at Aachen 8 Sep 1002.� He challenged the succession in Italy of Arduino Marchese di Ivrea, who had been crowned as king of Italy at Pavia 15 Feb 1002, and entered Trento in Spring 1004 to claim the throne himself.� Heinrich was crowned king of Italy at Pavia 14 Apr 1004.� He resigned the duchy of Bavaria, appointing his brother-in-law Henri Comte de Luxembourg as duke in 1004, although he retook the title from 1009-1017.� King Heinrich II invaded Flanders in 1007 to recapture the march of Valenciennes and also captured Gent.� Count Baudouin subsequently arranged an alliance with the emperor who, in 1012, helped him install a new Bishop of Cambrai, enfeoffed him with the islands of Zeeland and, in 1015, with Valenciennes.� He left Italy after destroying the town of Pavia in reprisal for a revolt which broke out there.� He returned to Italy in Autumn 1013, Arduino took refuge in one of his castles without fighting, and Heinrich was crowned Emperor at Rome 14 Feb 1014.� The emperor invaded Flanders again in 1020, supported by Robert King of France[257].� The necrology of Pr�m records the death "III Id Iul" of "Heinricus dux Baioarie imperator"[258].� Canonised 1046.� m (early Summer 1000) KUNIGUNDE de Luxembourg, daughter of SIEGFRIED Graf [Luxembourg] & his wife Hedwig --- (-Bamberg 3 Mar 1033, bur Bamberg cathedral).� The Annalista Saxo names "domnam Cunigundam, felicis memorie virginem" as wife of Heinrich, specifying that she was sister of "Teoderici Metensi episcope et Heinrich postmodum ducis Bawarici"[259].� Rodulfus Glaber refers to the wife of Emperor Heinrich II as "filiam Siefredi Saxonum ducis"[260].� There is little indication of the date of Kunigunde's marriage apart from Thietmar's references to her which show that they were already married when her husband was elected king[261].� She founded Kaufungen convent in 1017.� The Annales Herbipolenses minores record the death in 1038 (maybe a transcription error for 1033 rather than a date error) of "sancta Kunegundis imperatoris" and her burial at Bamberg[262].� The necrology of Regensburg St Emmeram records the death "V Non Mar" of "Chunigunt imperatrix"[263].� Canonised 29 Mar 1200.� Heinrich had [one possible illegitimate child by an unknown mistress]:�

2.         BRUNO (-Regensburg 24 May 1029, bur Augsburg St Moritz).� Wipo names "episcopus Bruno, frater Heinrici imperatories"[265].� Imperial Chancellor 1005-1006.� Canon at Hildesheim cathedral.� The Not� Sepulcrales Babenbergenses record the installation of "Bruno episcopus Augustensis, frater sancti Heinrici imperator in die septem fratrem"[266].� Bishop of Augsburg 1006.� He founded St Moritz at Augsburg.� Wipo, in his description of the election of Konrad II King of Germany in 1024, says that Bruno's "[good] character �[was] obscured by the hate with which he opposed his brother" Emperor Heinrich[267].�

3.         GISELA ([985]-Passau 7 May 1065, bur Passau Kloster Niedernburg).� Herimannus names "Gisela, huius soror [=Heinricus imperator]" as wife of "Stephano regi Ungariorum"[268].� The Annalista Saxo states that "mater ipsius [Stephanus Ungariorum rex] Gisla" was sister of "Heinrici inperatoris Babenbergensis", when recording her husband's death[269], but clearly the text misstates "mater" for "uxor".� This marriage was agreed by Gisela's brother Duke Heinrich IV and Istv�n's father to confirm the Hungarian/Bavarian alliance[270].� According to the legends of St Stephen, she founded Veszpr�m Cathedral and the convent of Veszpr�mv�lgy[271].� The Gesta Hungarorum records that "Kysla regina" sent "comitem Sebus" to blind Vazul, whom her husband wished to appoint as his successor after the death of their son Imre, and have moulten lead poured into his ears[272].� Bak suggests that Queen Gisela was blamed because of anti-German feeling in the Hungarian court[273].� According to another Hungarian chronicle, Queen Gisela took council from "an evil man named Buda" concerning her husband's plan to name his nephew Vaz�l as his heir and sent Buda's son Egiruth to do the deed[274].� After her husband died, she was robbed of her possessions by her husband's successor and left Hungary, becoming Abbess of Niedernburg.� m (996) ISTV�N of Hungary, son of G�ZA Prince of Hungary & his first wife Sarolta of Transylvania (Esztergom [969/75]-Buda 15 Aug 1038, bur Sz�kesfeh�rv�r).� He succeeded his father in 997 as Prince of Hungary.� He was crowned ISTV�N I King of Hungary in 1000.

Chapter 12.� PFALZGRAFEN von BAYERN

 

 

A.����� PFALZGRAFEN von BAYERN (10th CENTURY)

 

 

The title "Pfalzgraf von Bayern" first emerged in the later 10th century, and was passed through different families until 1248 when it died out with the last Pfalzgraf of the family of the Grafen von Ortenberg.� The role of the holder of the title "Pfalzgraf", of which there was only one in each of the original German provinces, is not known although it is possible that it related to a function at the ducal court similar to that of the palatine at the court of the Carolingian emperors[757].� Whatever the origin and original reason for the title, it became attached as an honorific to the name of the geographical base of the family who held it from time to time.� Thus, during the period when the Wittelsbach family were Pfalzgrafen of Bavaria the holders of the title were most frequently referred to in contemporary sources as "Pfalzgrafen von Wittelsbach" instead of the more strictly correct "Pfalzgrafen von Bayern, Grafen von Wittelsbach".�

 

 

1.         ---.� m WICBURG, daughter of --- (-17 Mar ----).� The necrology of Seeon records the death "XVI Kal Apr" of "Wicpurch com hic iacet mater Hartwici"[758].� Although it is not certain that this entry refers to the mother of Pfalzgraf Hartwig [I], it would certainly explain the introduction of the first name "Wicburg" into the family of Pfalzgraf Aribo [I] if it was correct.� It is not possible that the entry refers to the mother of Pfalzgraf Hartwig [II] who is known to have been named Adela (supposed granddaughter of this Wicburg).�

a)         HARTWIG [I] (-985).� Pfalzgraf von Bayern 977.� [same person as�?HARTWIG (-after 3 Apr 965).� "Otto�rex" transferred property "qua�comes�Hartuuic de manu Vuarmunti comitis�in loco Grabanastat�in pago Chiemichouve in comitatibus Otacharii, Sigihardi ac Vuillihalmi comitum" to the church of Salzburg by charter dated 8 Jun 959[759].� "Otto�rex" granted property "inter duos montes Curozton et Cozine�in pago Crauuati et in ministerio Hartuigi comitis" to "clerico Diotpert" by charter dated 13 Feb 961[760].� "Otto�imperator augustus" granted property "ad Vuirzsosah in partibus Karantanie in comitatu Hartuuigi comitis" to "episcopi Abrahe�suo vasallo Negomir" by charter dated 3 Apr 965[761].]� m ---.� Hartwig's wife has not been identified.� Pfalzgraf Hartwig [I] & his wife had one child:�

i)          ADELA (-7 Sep after 1020).� The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.� The necrology of Seeon records the death "VII Id Sep" of "Adala com ux Aribonis" and her donation[762].� According to Wegener[763], she married secondly Graf Engelbert [III].� However, the Seeon necrology entry appears to exclude the possibility that this second marriage is correct.� m [firstly] ARIBO [I] Pfalzgraf von Bayern, son of Graf CHADALHOH & his wife --- (-13 Feb 1000).� [m secondly ENGELBERT [III] Graf im Chiemgau, son of SIEGHARD [V] Graf im Chiemgau [Sieghardinger] & his wife Willa --- (-1020).]�

 

 

 

B.����� PFALZGRAFEN von BAYERN 1059-1081 [PILGRIMIDEN]

 

 

KUNO von Rott, son of POPPO [II] von Rott & his wife --- im Ramgau (-27 Mar [1086]).� The Vita Sancti Marini et Anniani names "utriusque Popponis avi scilicet et patris eius [Chonradi alias Chuno comitis palatini]"[764].� von Vohburg [1040].� Pfalzgraf von Bayern 1059.� "Heinricus�rex" granted "comitatum Histrie" and "marchiam Carniole" to the church of Aquileia at the request of "ducibus autem Writizlao Boemie ac Liudolfo Carintie, Cuonone quoque palatino comite et Tieboldo marchione" by two charters dated 11 Jun 1077[765].� "Heinricus�rex" granted property "Beringen in pago Brisgouve in comitatu Cuononis palatine comitis" to Kloster Nieder-Altaich by charter dated 16 Aug 1079[766].� Graf an der unteren Isar 1079.� He founded Kloster Rott.� The necrology of Seeon records the death "VI Kal Apr" of "Chuno palatinus fundator"[767].�

m UTA, daughter of --- (-9 Feb ----).� The Vita Sancti Marini et Anniani names "Chonradus alias Chuno comes palatinus" as founder of the monastery of Rott immediately followed by "Werta fundatrix"[768], implying that the latter was Kuno's wife.� The necrology of Seeon records the death "V Id Feb" of "Uta"[769], although it is not certain that this refers to the wife of Kuno.� Wegener speculates that she was Uta von Diessen, daughter of Graf FRIEDRICH [III] & his first wife [Irmgard] von [Gilching], but his speculation is tenuous[770].�

Pfalzgraf Kuno & his wife had two children:�

1.         KUNO [II] von Rott (-killed in battle H�chst�tt 11 Aug 1081).� Wegener cites a reference naming "palatinus comes Chuono et filius eius Chuono"[771].� Pfalzgraf von Bayern.� The Casus Monasterii Petrishusensis records that "dux Suevorum Fridericus et Couno palatinus de Fohiburch" were killed "de bello apud Hoste"[772].� m as her first husband, ELISABETH, daughter of ---.� The Vita Sancti Marini et Anniani names "Chuno iunior comes filius [Chonradi alias Chuno comitis palatine], Elizabeth uxor filii de Lotring"[773].� The reference in this text to "de Lotring" has not been explained, but could refer to Lotharingia.� The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified.� She married secondly Ratpoto [V] Pfalzgraf von Bayern (-1099).�

2.         IRMGARD (-14 Jun [1101]).� The Vita Sancti Marini et Anniani names "Irmgart filia [Chonradi alias Chuno comitis palatine], soror iunioris palatini"[774].� 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"[775].� 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[776], 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[777].� 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[778].� 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"[779], which suggests that she was still the widowed "Gr�fin von Sulzbach" when she died.� If this is correct, her other husband must have been Heinrich [I] von Lechsgem�nd, son of [Kuno Graf von Lechsgem�nd 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 Lechsgem�nd 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"[780].� m firstly GEBHARD [II] Graf von Sulzbach, son of --- (-[killed] [1085], bur Kloster Kastl).� m secondly KUNO Graf von Horburg, son of KUNO Graf von Lechsgem�nd & his wife Mechtild von Horburg (-1103 or after).�

ARIBO [I], son of [CHADALHOH Graf im Isengau & his wife ---] (-13 Feb 1000, bur Seeon).� The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.� It is assumed that it is no more than speculation, based on transmission of the name Chadalhoh to his son.� Pfalzgraf von Bayern 985.� He founded Seeon in 974 and G�ss in 999.� "Otto�Romanorum imperator augustus" granted privileges to Kloster Seeon founded by "Arbonis comitis" by charter dated 15 Apr 999[781].� The necrology of Seeon records the death "XVI Kal Mar" of "Aribo palatinus fundator hic iacet"[782].�

m as her first husband, ADELA, daughter of HARTWIG [I] Pfalzgraf von Bayern & his wife --- (-7 Sep after 1020).� The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified.� The necrology of Seeon records the death "VII Id Sep" of "Adala com ux Aribonis" and her donation[783].� According to Wegener[784], she married secondly Engelbert [III] Graf im Chiemgau [Sieghardinger].� However, the Seeon necrology entry appears to exclude the possibility that this second marriage is correct.�

Pfalzgraf Aribo [I] & his wife had seven children:�

1.         HARTWIG [II] (-24 Dec 1024, bur Seeon).� The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. �Pfalzgraf von Bayern.� The necrology of Seeon records the death "IX Kal Jan" of "Hartwicus fil Aribonis hic iacet"[785].� m FREDERUNA, daughter of RETING [Immedinger] & his wife ---.� Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by Ekkehard who names "duo fratres Aerbo�et Boto paterno de sanguine Noric� gentis�Hartwici palatini comitis filii�maternum�stemma de Saxonia Immidingorum tribus�mater a Retingo filio Botonis filii Retingi de secundo Botone nati procreatur" when recording the death of her son "Boto comes cognomento fortis Aerbonis�germanus"[786].� She is named as wife of Pfalzgraf Hartwig in Europ�ische Stammtafeln[787].� The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified.� Pfalzgraf Hartwig [II] & his wife had two children:�
