Research Notes:
Duke of Saxony [Ref: HenryII herma000 4/3/2011, Tapsell Dynasties p215]
Hermann is now commonly called by the epithet of "Billung", but there is no
contemporary authority for this, and the claim that he was the son of a count
Billung dates from the thirteenth century; except for the names of his two
brothers Wichmann and Amelung, and his relative (of unknown degree) bishop
Bruno, there is no good evidence for his origin. [Ref: HenryII herma000
4/3/2011]
936: Hermann was chosen as leader of the army by the new king Otto I [Ref:
HenryII herma000 4/3/2011]
the often-repeated claim that Hermann's wife was named Hildegarde is based on
a late source which is evidently confusing the wifes of Hermann and Bernhard
[Ref: HenryII mathi000 10/12/2006]
936: "princeps militiae" [Ref: ES I.1 #11]
940: Count in Wetigau [Ref: ES I.1 #11]
953: named by Widukind as duke of the Saxons [Ref: HenryII herma000 4/3/2011]

955: Count in Gauen Tilathi and Marstem [Ref: ES I.1 #11]
13 Aug 956: appears as marchio in an act of Otto I [Ref: HenryII herma000
4/3/2011]
956: Markgraf [Ref: ES I.1 #11]
961-973: Duke of Saxony [Ref: Tapsell Dynasties p215]
965: Dux in Saxony [Ref: ES I.1 #11]
18 Jan 968: appears as dux in an act of Otto I [Ref: HenryII herma000
