http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann,_Duke_of_Saxony

Hermann Billung (900 or 912 – 27 March 973) was a Margrave of Saxony and one of the most well-known members of the House of Billung.

Hermann was the son of Billung von Stubenskorn (c. 860-967) and Ermengarde of Nantes (b. 900). 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.

Hermann Billung was probably married twice, first to a woman named Oda (who died on 15 March in an unknown year), and second to Hildegarde of Westerbourg.

He had five children:

* Bernhard I (died 1011), Duke of Saxony

* Liutger (died 26 February 1011) Count in Westfalengau, attested in 991, buried in St. Michaels in Lüneburg, married Emma (died 3 December 1038), buried in the Bremen Cathedral, daughter of Immed IV (Immedinger), sister of Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn.

* Suanhilde (born between 945 and 955, died 28 November 1014, buried in the monastery of Jena, reburied after 1028 in the Georgskirche of Naumburg in Saale, married 1st in 970 Thietmar I (died after 979) Margrave of Meissen, married (2) before 1000 Ekkehard I (murdered 30 April 1002 in Pöhlde); in 992 Margrave of Meissen, buried in the monastery of Jena, reburied after 1028 in the Church of Georg Naumburg (Saale)

* Mathilde (born between 935 and 945, died 25 May 1008 in Ghent St. Peter), married 1st in 961 to Balduin III, Count of Flanders (died 1 January 962), married second Gottfried der Gefangene (died on 3/4 April after 995) in 963/982, Count of Verdun (Wigeriche), buried in St. Peter's in Ghent

* Imma, in 995 Abbess of Herford

Billing Graf

Sohn des Grafen Ekbert

Goetz Hans-Werner: Seite 167

*****************

"Das Herzogtum der Billunger - ein sächsischer Sonderweg?"

Die BILLUNGER, deren Name sich von Billung, dem erst später in der Chronik des Lüneburger Michaelsklosters genannten, angeblichen Vater Hermanns, ableitet [2 Vgl. Hömberg Seite 16, der die Nachricht als falsch zurückweist. Dagegen sucht Reinhard Wenskus, Sächsischer Stammesadel und fränkischer Reichsadel (Abhh. Göttingen, phil.-hist. Kl. 3,93) Göttingen 1976, Seite 178 ff., besonders Seite 234ff., die Richtigkeit der Nachricht aus den BILLUNGER-Namen zu erweisen. Andere Verwandtschaftsbezüge weisen danach auf Ecbert, die Hessi-Sippe und die BARDONEN.], stellten in fünf unmittelbar vom Vater auf den Sohn aufeinanderfolgenden Generationen die sächsischen Herzöge. Als deutlich abgrenzbares Geschlecht begegnen uns die BILLUNGER erst seit der ersten Herzogsgeneration mit dem Grafen Wichmann (+ 944) und seinem jüngeren Bruder Hermann, über deren Vorfahren nichts Genaues bekannt ist. Die Herkunft des zweifellos zum sächsischen Hochadels zählenden Geschlechts bleibt daher dunkel. Insgesamt gibt es drei mögliche Traditionslinien:

- Die BILUNGER-Namen (Hermann, Wichmann und Amelung) führen im frühen 9. Jahrhundert eher in hessisches Gebiet zwischen Werra und Fulda im Einflußbereich des Eigenklosters Kaufungen [3 Vgl. dazu Sabine Krüger, Studien zur sächsischen Grafschaftsverfassung im 9. Jh. (Studien und Vorarbeiten zum Historischen Atlas Niedersachsens 19 = Veröffentlichung der Historischen Kommission Hannover, Oldenburg, Braunschweig, Schaumburg-Lippe und Bremen ") Göttingen 1950, besonders Seite 79 ff.] (diese "Sippe" wird vielfach als "ältere BILLUNGER" bezeichnet). [4 Vgl. etwa Karl Jordan, Lexikon des Mittelalters Band 2; Spalte 192f.]

- Vom späteren Wirkungsbereich her hingegen, den Besitzlandschaften und Grafschaften sowohl im Bardengau an der unteren Elbe als auch im Tilithi- und Weitagau an bzw. westlich der unteren Weser, waren die BILLUNGER Amts- und Rechtsnachfolger der EKBERTINER (jedenfalls ist zur Zeit König ARNULFS hier ein Ekbert als Graf bezeugt), und dieser Name kehrt zumindest in der Wichmannschen Linie des Geschlechts wider.

- Vom eigenen Familienbewußtsein her schließlich, das sich aus dem Totengedenken ergibt und am Nekrolog des billungischen Hausklosters in Lüneburg ablesen läßt, betonte man die Bindungen zu den westfälischen WIDUKINDEN. [6 So Gerd Althoff, Adels- und Königsfamilien im Spiegel ihrer Memorialüberlieferung, Studien zum Totengedenken der Billunger und Ottonen (Münstersche

Mittelalter-Schriften 47) München 1984, Seite 64ff.]

In English:

The Billunger Duchy, a Saxon exception?

The Billunger who went by the name of Billung, is mentioned later in the chronicles of the Luneburg Monastery of St. Michael, and is the supposed father of Hermann Billung [Homberg regards this as untrue, but rather believes Reinhard Wenskus of Saxon and Frankish tribal nobility to be the father; other kinship relationships suggested include that to Ecbert of the Hessi Clan and Bardon]. The chronicles present five direct father-to-son generations of Saxon dukes.

The first generation includes Count Wichmann (c. 944) and his younger brother Hermann. Nothing is known for certain of their ancestry.

There are three possible heritages:

1. The Bilunger name (Hermann, Wichmann, and Amelung) merges into one in the early 9th century in the area between Hessian and Werra Fulda within the sphere of influence of the Klosters Kaufungen [from Sabine Kruger's studies of the Saxon constitutional county in the 9th century - studies and preparatory work for the Historical Atlas of Lower Saxony, published by the Historical Commission of Hannover, Oldenburg, Braunschweig, Schaumburg-Lippe, and Bremen]; this family is often regarded as the "older Billunger" [Karl Jordan's Lexicon of the Middle Ages, Volume 2]

2. From the area of influence within both the counties Bardengau on the lower Elbe and in Tilithi and Weitagau on or west of the lower Weser. These were the official Billunger, and legal successor to the Ekbertiner (to the time of King Arnulf and Count Egbert), and the name comes at least to Wichmann's line.

3. From the family's own records of its deaths from the convent house in Luneburg, which emphasizes the bonds with the Westphalian Widukind. [Gerd Althoff, noble and royal families in reflection of their memorial tradition, including studies commemorating the dead Billunger and Ottos - Munster medieval writings, published in Munich 1984].

Billing Graf

Sohn des Grafen Ekbert

Goetz Hans-Werner: Seite 167

****************
"Das Herzogtum der Billunger - ein sächsischer Sonderweg?"

Die BILLUNGER, deren Name sich von Billung, dem erst später in der Chronik des Lüneburger Michaelsklosters genannten, angeblichen Vater Hermanns, ableitet [2 Vgl. Hömberg Seite 16, der die Nachricht als falsch zurückweist. Dagegen sucht Reinhard Wenskus, Sächsischer Stammesadel und fränkischer Reichsadel (Abhh. Göttingen, phil.-hist. Kl. 3,93) Göttingen 1976, Seite 178 ff., besonders Seite 234ff., die Richtigkeit der Nachricht aus den BILLUNGER-Namen zu erweisen. Andere Verwandtschaftsbezüge weisen danach auf Ecbert, die Hessi-Sippe und die BARDONEN.], stellten in fünf unmittelbar vom Vater auf den Sohn aufeinanderfolgenden Generationen die sächsischen Herzöge. Als deutlich abgrenzbares Geschlecht begegnen uns die BILLUNGER erst seit der ersten Herzogsgeneration mit dem Grafen Wichmann (+ 944) und seinem jüngeren Bruder Hermann, über deren Vorfahren nichts Genaues bekannt ist. Die Herkunft des zweifellos zum sächsischen Hochadels zählenden Geschlechts bleibt daher dunkel. Insgesamt gibt es drei mögliche Traditionslinien:

- Die BILUNGER-Namen (Hermann, Wichmann und Amelung) führen im frühen 9. Jahrhundert eher in hessisches Gebiet zwischen Werra und Fulda im Einflußbereich des Eigenklosters Kaufungen [3 Vgl. dazu Sabine Krüger, Studien zur sächsischen Grafschaftsverfassung im 9. Jh. (Studien und Vorarbeiten zum Historischen Atlas Niedersachsens 19 = Veröffentlichung der Historischen Kommission Hannover, Oldenburg, Braunschweig, Schaumburg-Lippe und Bremen ") Göttingen 1950, besonders Seite 79 ff.] (diese "Sippe" wird vielfach als "ältere BILLUNGER" bezeichnet). [4 Vgl. etwa Karl Jordan, Lexikon des Mittelalters Band 2; Spalte 192f.]

- Vom späteren Wirkungsbereich her hingegen, den Besitzlandschaften und Grafschaften sowohl im Bardengau an der unteren Elbe als auch im Tilithi- und Weitagau an bzw. westlich der unteren Weser, waren die BILLUNGER Amts- und Rechtsnachfolger der EKBERTINER (jedenfalls ist zur Zeit König ARNULFS hier ein Ekbert als Graf bezeugt), und dieser Name kehrt zumindest in der Wichmannschen Linie des Geschlechts wider.

- Vom eigenen Familienbewußtsein her schließlich, das sich aus dem Totengedenken ergibt und am Nekrolog des billungischen Hausklosters in Lüneburg ablesen läßt, betonte man die Bindungen zu den westfälischen WIDUKINDEN. [6 So Gerd Althoff, Adels- und Königsfamilien im Spiegel ihrer Memorialüberlieferung, Studien zum Totengedenken der Billunger und Ottonen (Münstersche

Mittelalter-Schriften 47) München 1984, Seite 64ff.]

In English:

The Billunger Duchy, a Saxon exception?

The Billunger who went by the name of Billung, is mentioned later in the chronicles of the Luneburg Monastery of St. Michael, and is the supposed father of Hermann Billung [Homberg regards this as untrue, but rather believes Reinhard Wenskus of Saxon and Frankish tribal nobility to be the father; other kinship relationships suggested include that to Ecbert of the Hessi Clan and Bardon]. The chronicles present five direct father-to-son generations of Saxon dukes.

The first generation includes Count Wichmann (c. 944) and his younger brother Hermann. Nothing is known for certain of their ancestry.

There are three possible heritages:

1. The Bilunger name (Hermann, Wichmann, and Amelung) merges into one in the early 9th century in the area between Hessian and Werra Fulda within the sphere of influence of the Klosters Kaufungen [from Sabine Kruger's studies of the Saxon constitutional county in the 9th century - studies and preparatory work for the Historical Atlas of Lower Saxony, published by the Historical Commission of Hannover, Oldenburg, Braunschweig, Schaumburg-Lippe, and Bremen]; this family is often regarded as the "older Billunger" [Karl Jordan's Lexicon of the Middle Ages, Volume 2]

2. From the area of influence within both the counties Bardengau on the lower Elbe and in Tilithi and Weitagau on or west of the lower Weser. These were the official Billunger, and legal successor to the Ekbertiner (to the time of King Arnulf and Count Egbert), and the name comes at least to Wichmann's line.

3. From the family's own records of its deaths from the convent house in Luneburg, which emphasizes the bonds with the Westphalian Widukind. [Gerd Althoff, noble and royal families in reflection of their memorial tradition, including studies commemorating the dead Billunger and Ottos - Munster medieval writings, published in Munich 1984].

"VON STUBENKORN"

443592868. Greve Billing "av stabeckshorn" ATHELBERTSON Sachsen (16397) died on 26 May 967.(16398) He was a Greve in Sachsen.(16399) En fornem adelsmann av Luneburger-land. Forekommer i en rekke diplomer fra 952-968. Et diplom av 957 viser at han var greva i sachsen, hadde svære goser ved Saale, unstruth og Liene, varn lensmann av hertug Hernik av Bayern, en bror av OttoI. stiftet St. Peters-klostret i Bibra, antagelig kort efter 952. I hilstoriebøker kalles han oftest, helt misvisende, "av Stubeckhorn"(et fritt, forholdsvis lite landgods ved Soltau), hvilket beror på en gammel fortelling som har holdt sig op gjennom middelalderen. He was married to Hildiburg N.NSDTR.
