    Notes:

    The parents of Hedwiga of Germany in CD-ROM 100 differs from Donovan. They both have Henry I, "The Fowler" as father, but the mother in CD 100 is Mathilda of Ringleheim, b. 89 of Mensleben, GER, d. 14 Mar 968 in Memleben, Germany. Donovan gives Memleben, Daughter of Count Dietrich, as her name. Since the place where she died is the same as the name in Donovan's source, and their father is Count Deitrich, I suspect that Mathilda of Ringleheim is more correct. Weis spells her name as Mechtilde of Ringelheim. (C-455, 1440)

  2. 5.  HEDWIG died on 24 Dec 903.

    Notes:

    There is much controversy over the parentage of Hedwig in all major medieval sources. Current German research which is heaviest at the moment believes her to be the daughter of Margrave Henry who died fighting the Normans in Paris on 8/28/886. His title was the Duke of Austrasians. Her mother was probably a granddaughter of St. Ida (d.c.820) and Count Egbert (living 809-11), a Saxon. Other theories are that she is the illegitimate daughter of Arnulf, King of Germany and Oda of Bavaria, (A.R., Charlemagne and his World); or Heinrich (d. 885) Markgraf of the Netherlands, (Isenburg); or Henry, Compte de la Marche, (Sallot).
