Notes about Gisela van Zwaben

GISELA (11 Nov 990[146]-Goslar 16 Feb 1043, bur Speyer Cathedral). Herimannus names "sororis suæ [=Herimannus iunior dux Alamanniæ defunctus" as wife of Ernst when recording the latter's succession as Duke of Swabia in 1012[147]. Wipo names "Herimannus dux Alamanniæ [et] Kerbirga filia Chuonradi regis de Burgundia" as the parents of "regis coniunx Gisela"[148]. The Notæ Sancti Blasii name her "Gisla de Werle" when recording her three marriages[149]. The Annalista Saxo names her three husbands, although the order of her first and second marriages is interchanged, which appears impossible chronologically[150]. The necrology of Fulda records the death "1043 XVI Kal Mar" of "Gisela imp"[151]. Herimannus records her death at Goslar[152]. The Annales Spirenses record the burial at Speyer of "Heinricus senior [=Heinricus IV] et aviam suam"[153], the latter assumed to be Gisela his paternal grandmother rather than his maternal grandmother.
