Noter til.   Ordulf af Sachsen,   1022 - 1072         Index

Noter:
     også kaldet Otto, af huset Billung, var søn af hertug Bernhard 2. af Sachsen og Eilica af Schweinfurt. Ordulf efterfulgte faren som hertug i 1059, og hans tid som regent blev præget af striden mod sorberne, en kamp han førte sammen med de kristne danskere.
Ordulf blev gift med Ulvhild, datter af Olav den hellige, i 1042. Dette ægteskab styrkede alliancen med skandinaverne. Med hende fik han sønnen Magnus, der efterfulgte ham som hertug. Magnus havde mange efterkommere, bl.a. i fyrstehuset Oldenburg , og gennem Magnus af Sachsen kan det nuværende norske kongehus føre sine aner tilbage til sagatidens norske konger.
Ordulf blev gift for anden gang med Gertrud af Haldesleben (død 1116), datter af grev Konrad og enke efter grev Fredrik af Formbach i 1071. Med hende fik han sønnen Bernhard, som døde efter et fald fra sin hest.

Noter til.   Wichman I the Elder,    - 23-04-944         Index

Noter:
     In 938, Wichmann rebelled because his younger brother Herman had been given the military command of the northern reaches of the Duchy of Saxony. He believed that he had a better claim to the office by virtue of his seniority and because he was related by marriage to the queen dowager Matilda of Ringelheim: that is, Königsnähe. He was joined by Eberhard of Franconia and Thankmar, the half-brother of King Otto I. The revolt was soon suppressed: Thankmar died the same year he and Eberhard came to terms. Wichmann allied with some Slavs and made war against his former compatriots. He was finally reconciled to Otto in 941.
