MEISSEN (original) (raw)

Otto I King of Germany created the "eastern March" or Ostmark to protect the eastern territories of Saxony from attack by the emerging city states of Pomerania to the north-east and the Polanian state of the Piast dynasty to the east.� Gero, appointed Markgraf in 939, controlled the southern part of the new March area and was more aggressive in his territorial expansions than Hermann "Billung" (see the document SAXONY, DUKES & ELECTORS) who controlled the northern part[1].� The origins of Gero are uncertain.� His older brother Siegfried is recorded in 934 as count in territories around Gr�ningen, between Halberstadt and Magdeburg, to the east of Brunswick.� It is not known whether the family was native to that area, but their names are typical of Saxon origin.� In the mid-10th century, Gero and his family are recorded as counts over a wide area of northern Thuringia, charters recording numerous grants of land under their control to the newly founded church of Magdeburg.�

Towards the end of the 10th century, the Ostmark may have been further divided, between the "March of Meissen" and the "March of Lausitz" (located to the north of Meissen), although a continuous line of Markgrafen in the latter March can only be traced from 1046 (see Chapter 6.B).� No mention of these territorial epithets has been found in contemporary primary sources which name the successive individuals who held the title "Markgraf".� During the second half of the 10th century, it is unclear whether each Markgraf was appointed within the area with exclusive jurisdiction in a defined part of the territory or whether the title was an honorific granted to local nobles who used it in the area of their existing counties.� A loose network of overlapping March jurisdictions is suggested by the fact that several different individuals are recorded with the title Markgraf at the same time.� For example, Gero (who died in 965) and Christian are both recorded with the title during the mid-10th century.� After Gero died, four individuals are all recorded with the title at various times between the late 960s and the early 990s: Thietmar [III] (son of Markgraf Christian), Hodo (maybe Markgraf Christian's brother), Ricdag (apparently unrelated to the families of Gero and Christian), and G�nther (possibly son of Graf Ekkehard).� All these individuals continue to be referred to as count of their named counties or within named pagi.� The first record of an apparent succession of the title Markgraf is found in the Annalista Saxo which states that Ekkehard, son of G�nther, succeeded Ricdag as Markgraf in 985, although without any territorial attribution****[2]**.�

After the death in 1046 of Markgraf Ekkehard II, last known descendant in the male line of Markgraf G�nther, the title was granted successively to members of the families of the Grafen von Weimar (see Chapter 3) and the Grafen von Braunschweig (see Chapter 4).� Markgraf Ekbert II was deposed as Markgraf in [1085/86] and his properties confiscated by Emperor Heinrich IV, who installed Heinrich of the family of the Grafen von Wettin as Markgraf.� A jurisdictional dispute over the eastern Marches between Emperor Heinrich V and Lothar von S�pplingenburg Duke� of Saxony (later Emperor Lothar) came to a head in 1123 after the death of the Wettin Markgraf Heinrich II.� The emperor appointed Wiprecht [II] Graf von Groitzsch as Markgraf in both Meissen and Lausitz (see Chapter 5), while the Saxon duke appointed Albrecht "der B�r" Graf von Ballenstedt as Markgraf in Lausitz and Konrad Graf von Wettin in Meissen.� The death of Graf Wiprecht (in 1124) and Emperor Heinrich (in 1125) resolved the matter in favour of the Wettin family, who continued to rule as Markgrafen in Meissen in an unbroken line until 1428, by which time the head of the family had been installed as Elector of Saxony (see Chapter 6).�

Emperor Friedrich I "Barbarossa" created the duchy of Silesia in 1163 and the duchy of Pomerania in 1181, both within imperial territory.� This stabilisation of the empire's eastern borders reduced the need for "March" jurisdictions to defend borderland areas.� Meissen and, to the north, Brandenburg, evolved as stable principalities firmly within the empire, although the rulers of both territories continued to hold the title "Markgraf".�

Graf Thietmar & his wife had three children:�

Thietmar records the death of Siegfried "only son" of Gero[36].� The Annalista Saxo records "unici filii sui [Gero marchionum] Sigefridi" having "laid down his arms" at Rome, leaving his inheritance to found a monastery in his name, arranging his wife's appointment as abbess and dying "XIII Kal Iun"[37].� "Gero�marchio" confirmed the foundation of Gernrode, after the deaths of "filiorum meorum Sigiffridi et Geronis", by charter dated 963[38].�m ([952]) HEDWIG [Hathui], daughter of [Graf WICHMANN [II] [Billung] & his wife Frederuna ---] (939-9 Jul 1014, bur Quedlinburg Klosterkirche).� Thietmar names "Hathui�niece of Queen Mathilde", records her marriage to "Siegfried son of Markgraf Gero" when aged 13, and that she became a nun after her husband's death[39].� There is no proof that she was the daughter of Wichmann [II] but the latter's wife is the most likely of the sisters of Queen Mathilde who could have been Hedwig's mother.� It should also be noted that Thietmar records the death of "my cousin Mathilde" on 28 Apr 1014, noting that "she had long resided at Gernrode with Abbess Hathui to whom she was related by blood"[40].� If Hathui was the daughter of Wichmann [II], she would have been the first cousin of Mathilde's supposed father Duke Bernhard.� The Chronicon Montis Serreni names "Hetwigam" as widow of "Gero filium unicum Sifridum"[41]but gives no indication about her origin.� Abbess of Vreden.�

HIDDA (-Jerusalem [945/75]).� "Soror eorum [Gero marchiorum et Sigefridus] Hidda nominee" is named in the Annalista Saxo, which records her death in Jerusalem and that she was the mother of "Thietmarum marchionem et Geronem Coloniensem archiepiscopum"[45].� Thietmar also records the death in Jerusalem of "Gero's holy mother Hidda", undated but in a passage which records the subsequent invasion of Jerusalem by the Saracens implying that this occurred immediately after her burial[46].� She founded Kloster Nienburg with her sons Thietmar and Gero after her husband died[47].�m CHRISTIAN Graf im Nordth�ringau und Schwabengau, Markgraf, son of --- (-after 945).� The Chronicon Montis Serreni names "Cristiano marchione" as husband of "Hidda"[48].�

a) SIEGFRIED (-after 1030).� The Annalista Saxo names "Sigefridus, avunculus Esici comitis de Ballenstide, filius Odonis incliti marchionis", specifying that he took the habit at Kloster Nienburg but apostasised after his father died[98].� Thietmar records that Siegfried, son of Hodo, lived as a monk at Nienburg but "threw off the cowl and put on secular clothing" after his father died[99], presumably to claim his father's succession.� Graf 1018.� The Annalista Saxo records that he took part in attacks led by Mieszko II King of Poland in 1030[100].�

b) [HIDDA][101] .� From the Annalista Saxo description of "Sigefridus, avunculus Esici comitis de Ballenstide, filius Odonis incliti marchionis", it is deduced that Siegfried's sister married the father of Esico Graf von Ballenstedt, but neither parent is named[102].�m ADALBERT [von Ballenstedt], son of ---.�

It is not known how the following two small family groups may have been related to the family shown above, if at all.�

DEDO .� The Annalista Saxo records "Dedi dicebatur Wodenswege" as father of Gero Archbishop of Magdeburg[103].�m EILIKA, daughter of ---.� The Annalista Saxo records "Eilica" as mother of Gero Archbishop of Magdeburg[104].� Dedo & his wife had one child:�

a) GERO (-Nov 1023).� The Annalista Saxo records "Dedi dicebatur Wodenswege" as father of Gero Archbishop of Magdeburg[105], and records the death "XI Kal Nov" of "Gero Magdaburgensis archiepisopus"[106].� Archbishop of Magdeburg 1012.�

Brother and four sisters, parents not known.� Jackman suggests that the monk Konrad was a brother of Gero Archbishop of K�ln (see above)[107].�

KONRAD .� Thietmar names the monk "Konrad" as "avunculus" of Archbishop Gero[108], interpreted as referring to Gero Archbishop of Magdeburg (died 1023) rather than Gero Archbishop of K�ln (died 976), particularly as a later passage refers to "Archbishop Gero's maternal aunts" (see below) whom it is assumed were related to the Magdeburg archbishop.�
EILIKA .� The Annalista Saxo records "Eilica" as mother of Gero Archbishop of Magdeburg, whose father is named "Dedi dicebatur Wodenswege" in another passage[109].� Her relationship with the monk Konrad is deduced from Thietmar naming him as _avunculus_of Archbishop Gero[110]who, as noted above, is assumed to refer to the archbishop of Magdeburg not the archbishop of K�ln of this name.� m DEDO, son of ---.�
