5 Herman Van Saksen Billung og Hildegard Van Westerburg Herman Van Saksen Billung og Hildegard Van Westerburg bliver formentlig gift omkring 930. De bosætter sig i Bidgau-området. Her får de følgende børn: , ca. - Mathilde van Saksen Billung, , ca. - Bernhard I van Saksen Billung 3. 9xx, - Swanhilde van Saksen Billung 4. 9xx, - Luitger van Saksen Billung 5. 9xx, - Imma van Saksen Billung. Herman Van Saksen Billung er i en årrække greve af Saksen, blandt andet det af sakserne erobrede slaviske område mod nord. Han forvalter loyalt området for den tyske konge, senere kejser Otto den Store. Herman er nærmeste nabo til danerne og deres leder, kong Harald. Det er formentlig Harald, der byggede nogle af Danevirke s volde omkring 965, måske for at sikre landets sydgrænse mod netop Otto den Store. På det kirkelige område synes Otto at have haft en vis indflydelse på kristendommens indførelse i Danmark, og en form for overhøjhed. Harald menes således at have betalt en vis årlig afgift til Otto. Datteren Mathilde Van Saksen Billung (se ane nr ) gifter sig med Boudewijn III Van Vlaanderen (ane nr ). De får en søn: Arnulf II Van Vlaanderen. Efter Boudewijn III Van Vlaanderen s død gifter Mathilde Van Saksen Billung (se ane nr ) sig med Godfried Van Verdun. De får måske følgende børn: Gozelo, Gerberga, Ermentrude og Ermengarde van Verdun, Frederik van Lotharingen, Godfried de Kinderloze, Adalbero, og Herman van Ename. Sønnen Bernhard I van Saksen Billung (ane nr ) gifter sig med Hildegard Van Stade (ane nr ).

11 Kildemateriale 6: Wikipedia/Familien Van Saksen The Billung dukes of Saxony were: Hermann, died 973 Bernard I, died 1011 Bernard II, died 1059 Ordulf, died 1072 Magnus, died 1106 Hermann Billung (900 or March 973) was a Margrave of Saxony and one of the most well-known members of the House of Billung. Hermann's parents are unknown. Hermann is generally counted as the first Billung Duke of Saxony, but his exact position is unclear. King Otto I appointed Hermann margrave in 936, granting him a march north of the Elbe between the Limes Saxoniae and Peene Rivers. Having more autonomy than his contemporary margrave Gero, Hermann exacted tribute from the Polabian Slavs inhabiting the March of the Billungs. He often fought against the West Slavic tribes of the Redarians, Abotrites, and Wagrians. By 953 Otto I, who was also Duke of Saxony, began entrusting more and more of his authority in Saxony to Hermann during his absences. However, Hermann was never named as duke in royal documents. Instead, he is named as a military leader, count, and margrave. His son Bernard inherited and strengthened his father's position and managed to be recognized as duke. Hermann had property around Lüneburg and founded the monastery of St. Michael in that city. He died in Quedlinburg. Children: Bernard (died 1011) Liudger (died 1011) Suanehild (died 1014), married Thietmar I, Margrave of Meissen and Ekkehard I, Markgrave of Meissen Imma, Abbess of Herford Mathilda (died 1008), married Baldwin III, Count of Flanders and Godfrey I, Count of Verdun aner\ /nov.2012 Side 10

12 Kildemateriale 6: Wikipedia/Familien Van Saksen fortsat Herman van Saksen (- Quedlinburg, 973), uit het geslacht Billung, werd in 936 wegens zijn verdienste in de onderwerping van de Redariërs door Otto de Grote aangesteld tot markgraaf van de Redariërs, Abodriten, Wagriërs en Denen. In 940 was hij graaf in Wetigau en in 953 benoemde Otto hem tot zijn plaatsvervanger in Saksen, waardoor hij de facto hertog werd, maar niet de titel had. Herman slaagde er in zijn neven Wichman II en Ekbert Eénoog, die sympathiseerden met de opstandelingen uit Saksen te verdrijven. In 955 trad Hermann Billung op als graaf in Tilithigau en Marstengau, en in 956 werd hij tot markgraaf benoemd. Toen Otto de Grote in 961 naar Rome trok, benoemde hij opnieuw Herman als zijn plaatsvervanger in Saksen. Dit gebeurde ook in 956, toen Otto zijn derde Italië-reis aanvatte. Herman was gehuwd met Oda en met Hildesuith, en was vader van: Bernhard I van Saksen (-1011) Liudger (-1011), gehuwd met de H. Emma van Lesum, Suanehilde (-1014), gehuwd met markgraaf Thietmar I van Meißen (-979) en met markgraaf Ekhard I van Meißen (-1002) Imma, abdis in Herford Mathildis ( ), in 961 gehuwd met graaf Boudewijn III van Vlaanderen ( ) en in 963 met graaf Godfried van Verdun ( ). aner\ /nov.2012 Side 11

13 Kildemateriale 7: Wikipedia/Familien Van Hamaland/Billung Hermann Billung (* 900/912; 27. März 973 in Quedlinburg) aus der Familie der Billunger war Markgraf und zeitweilig Stellvertreter Ottos I. im Herzogtum Sachsen. 936 wurde Hermann Billung für seine Verdienste bei der Unterwerfung der aufständischen Redarier von König Otto I. als Markgraf (princeps militiae) über die Redarier, Obotriten, Wagrier und Dänen eingesetzt. 940 war er Graf im Wetigau. 953 zog Otto in den Kampf gegen aufständische fränkische Adlige und ernannte Hermann Billung zu seinen Stellvertreter (procurator regis) in Sachsen, der damit de facto die Herzogstellung erhielt, jedoch nicht als solcher bezeichnet wurde. In dieser Zeit gelangt es Hermann, seinen Neffen Wichmann II. und Ekbert dem Einäugigen, die mit den Aufständischen sympathisierten, aus Sachsen zu vertreiben. 955 trat Hermann Billung als Graf im Tilithigau und Marstemgau auf, 956 wurde er zum marchio (Markgrafen) ernannt. 961 zog Otto I. nach Rom, um im darauffolgenden Jahr zum Kaiser gekrönt zu werden. Während der Zeit seiner Abwesenheit ernannte er erneut Hermann Billung zu seinem Stellvertreter in Sachsen. Dies geschah ebenso 966, als Otto I. seinen dritten Italienzug begann. Im Jahr zuvor (965) war er offiziell zum dux in Sachsen gemacht worden. 972 wurde Hermann Billung vom Erzbischof Adalbert von Magdeburg wie ein König empfangen, saß an dessen Platz an der Tafel und schlief in dessen Bett. Otto I. war über die Anmaßung erzürnt und bestrafte den Erzbischof, an der Stellung Hermanns als Stellvertreter änderte sich indessen nichts. Hermann Billung wurde in der Kirche des Klosters St. Michaelis in Lüneburg beerdigt, das er selbst gegründet hatte. Nach ihm ist in Celle ein Gymnasium und in Soltau sowohl eine Straße als auch eine Schule benannt. Nachkommen Hermann Billung war vermutlich zwei Mal verheiratet; eine Frau hieß Oda ( 15. März eines unbekannten Jahres), eine zweite Hildesuit. Er hatte fünf Kinder: - Bernhard I. ( 1011), Herzog von Sachsen - Liutger ( 26.

The Chronica Principum Saxoniæ names "vir nomine Bilingus" as father of "Hermannum" [186], although the accuracy of this statement is not known. The name of the father of the brothers Amelung, Wichmann [I] and Hermann Billung has not so far been found in any other source. The possibility that some or all of them were uterine brothers cannot be excluded. m ---. The name of [Billung]'s wife is not known. [Billung] & his wife had [six] children: 1. AMELUNG (-5 May 962). Bishop of Verden 933. The Annalista Saxo records the death in 962 of "Amalungus Fardensis episcopus frater Herimanni ducis" [187].

HERMANN [Billung] ([905/10]-Quedlinburg 27 Mar 973, bur Lüneburg St Michael). The Cronica Principum Saxonie names "Bilingus filium Hermannum" [190]. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that he was adult when appointed military commander in 936. He was given military command in Saxony ("princeps militiæ") by Otto I King of Germany in 936, which trig gered the revolt of his brother Wichmann [191]. Graf in Wetigau 940.

"Otto rex" gave property "in pago Usiti in comitatu comitis Willihelmi" to "nostro fideli vasallo comitique Billinc" by charter dated 2 Dec 958 [195], which may refer to Hermann Billung although he is not titled Markgraf in the document. "Otto rex" granted property "in locis Vurmerstat, Otunpach, Gozarstat, Haholtestat in pago Usiti in comitatu comitis Uuillihelmi" to "vasallo comitisque Billinc" by charter dated 2 Dec 958 [196].

Dux in Saxony 965. He founded St Michaeliskloster at Lüneburg. The necrology of Fulda records the death in 973 of "Heriman dux" [199]. Thietmar records the death of Duke Hermann, father of Bernhard, at Quedlinburg on 1 Apr, the transportation of his body to Lüneburg, and the refusal by Bruno Bishop of Verden (maybe his nephew) to allow his burial in church because of his prior excommunication [200]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "27 Mar" of "Herimannus dux" [201]. m firstly ODA, daughter of --- (-15 Mar ----). The primary source which confirms the name of Hermann's first wife has not so far been identified. m secondly HILDESUIT, daughter of ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Hermann's second wife has not so far been identified. "Otto imperator augustus" confirmed the donation of property "aliquando Bilingo nostro comiti in Neletici quitquid coniunx sua hereditarii iuris habere" to Magdaburg St Moritz by charter dated 28 Jul 966 [202]. Duke Hermann & his [first/second] wife had five children: a) BERNHARD (-Corvey 9 Feb 1011, bur Lüneburg St Michael). The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Bennonis ducis, qui et Bernhardus et Liudigeri comitis et Machtildis comitisse" as brothers and sister of "domna Suanehildis [filia] Herimanni ducis de Liuniburh" [203].

The Vita Meinwerci records the death "IV Kal Apr" of "frater ducis Bernhardi, comes Liutderus" [206]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "26 Feb" of "Liudger com" [207]. m EMMA, daughter of IMMED [III] & his wife Agnes --- (-3 Dec 1038, bur Bremen Cathedral). The Vita Meinwerci names "Emma" as wife of "comes Liutderus", but does not give her origin [208]. Her parentage is confirmed by Adam of Bremen who names "Emma" as wife of "Liudgerus frater [Benno dux Saxonum]" when recording her husband's death in 1011, calling her "Emma soror Meginwerki episcopi Padarburnensis" when recording her death and her burial in Bremen Cathedral [209]. Liutger & his wife had two children: i) IMMED (-3 Feb 1076, bur Paderborn cathedral). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not so far been identified. Bishop of Paderborn ii) [EMMA].

The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Bennonis ducis, qui et Bernhardus et Liudigeri comitis et Machtildis comitisse" as brothers and sister of "domna Suanehildis [filia] Herimanni ducis de Liuniburh", recording the names of Mechtild's two husbands [210]. The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names "Mathildis, filiam principis Herimanni" as wife of "Balduinum [filius comitis Arnulfi]", specifying that it was hoped that the couple would have many children [211]. This suggests that their marriage date may have been some years earlier than 961 considering that the Genealogia was supposedly compiled in [951/59], probably during the earlier part of this date range considering which children of Louis IV King of the West Franks are named in the document [212]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Mathildis comitissa Saxonie" as wife of "Godefridi Ardennensis" [213]. "Heinricus Romanorum imperator augustus" confirmed the rights and property of Kloster Mouzon donated by (among others) "dux Fredericus pro anima Ottonis [et] Godefridus comes et coniux sua Mathildis pro anima sui fratris Adalberonis archiepiscopi" by charter dated 1023 [214].

The Annalista Saxo names "domna Suanehildis" as daughter of "Herimanni ducis de Liuniburh", names her brothers "Bennonis ducis et Bernhardus et Liudigeri comitis et Machtildis comitisse" and her two husbands [217]. Her birth date range is estimated on the basis of her sister being born in [942] and Schwanehilde herself giving birth to seven children by her second husband. Thietmar records the marriage of Ekkehard and "Swanhild widow of Count Thietmar and Duke Bernhard's sister" [218].
