Kind(eren):
The following information is from a post-em by Curt Hoffeman, (XXXXX@XXXX.XXX):
Birth: 934 in of Niedenoesterreich, Austria Not sure where the date came from but it looks kinda late considering his dau Richwara's husband Liutpold was supposedly b. 923 (Moriarty, Turton) or ca 932 (ES 1:9) plus Ernst IV's son Ernst V d. 956.
Also, there's only one 'n' in Niederösterreich (ö can also be spelled oe). Nieder means lower in elevation & Österreich means eastern realm. Österreich is the modern German word for the country of Austria. Niederösterreich is the modern eastern & northernmost province of Austria that surrounds Vienna & certainly did not exist as such 1,000 years ago. What existed back then was the Bavarian Östmark (eastern frontier). It is also doubtful that he was born in what is now Niederösterreich. That area had been invaded by Magyars & it wasn't until the Battle of Lechfeld in 955 that emperor Otto I with Ernst, count of Sualafeld (probably Ernst V) defeated them decisively enough that the Bavarians became dominant over Austria. Liutpold became a Margrave of it 976.
Sualafeld was a county between the Danube & the Rezat (rivers) which is roughly the area from Nürnberg/Nuremberg south to Donauworth in the northern half of the modern state of Bavaria.
For a 4 gen ancestry of Ernst IV, see the SGM archives, 13 Feb 2000 msg from Leo Akershoek. He didn't say where his info came from & thus far I'm unable to corroborate it. You'd think if genealogists/historians have given Ernst the number IV, his antecedents who had numbers I thru III have to be in some source somewhere.
