  • (Geschiedenis) .Source 1
    Ordulf van Saksen (1022 - 28 maart 1072) was een zoon van hertog Bernhard II van Saksen, uit het Huis Billung, en Eilika van Schweinfurt. Odulf volgde zijn vader op als hertog in 1059 en zijn regeerperiode werd beheerst door de strijd tegen de Wenden. Ordulf was hierbij bondgenoot van Denemarken en trouwde met de halfzuster van koning Magnus I van Noorwegen en Denemarken. Het lukte Ordulf niet om beslissende successen te boeken tegen de Wenden en tegelijk leidde alle aandacht voor de Wenden ertoe dat zijn positie binnen het hertogdom zwakker werd. Ordulf is begraven in de de Sint Michaeliskerk te Lüneburg.
