death, and Notae necrologicae Confungenses add c998 as the year. Necrology of
Gorze gives 27 Oct, and Kalendarium necrologicum canonicorum Babenbergensium
adds the approximate year c998. Although the year 998 is probably close,
there is no good reason to regard it as exact. [Ref: HenryII siegf000
4/5/2007]
As to the father of Siegfried, the authorities are divided, whether he
was Wigeric or Richwin the second husband of Kunigunda. There is no
certain evidence but from certain indications Mr. Vannerius considers he
was the son of Wigeri rather than of Richwin on account of lands held by
Siegfrieds descendants. [Ref: Moriarty Plantagenet p246]
There is evidence that Siegfried was father of a son of the same name,
and that he may be the father of the children given to the first
Siegfried. If the latter was the son of Wigeric he could not have been later
than 919 when Wigeric died but his son Frederick died in 1091, Henry in 1026,
Thierry about 1047, and Adalberion after 1036. Accordingy for chronological
reasons it would seem that they were likely to have been the sons of the
younger Siegfried and grandsons of the first Siegfried. The point is not
fully settled. [Ref: Moriarty Plantagenet p246]
The parentage of Siegfried of Luxemburg is much debated, with Werner
placing him as a son of Cunigunde and Wigeric, others suggesting he was
posthumous or Cunigunde's son by her later known husband Ricuin, count of
Verdun, or an unknown third husband belonging to the Matfried family. This is
all largely speculative. As far as I know, Werner's reconstruction of the
descent from Cunigunde is still as valid as another placing Siegfired's wife
Hedwig into the line instead of him: the main trouble I see with this is that
Hedwig would have been considerably younger than any of her other known
children - Siegfried was an abbot before marrying Hedwig, perhaps ca 955/60,
whereas Cunigunde's other children seem to have been already married in the
930s. [Ref: Peter Stewart SGM 6/24/2001-192124]
descendant of Charlemagne (#10744) [Ref: Sherman Ghent p26]
Translation of charter for castle of Luxemburg:
In the name of the only begotten son of God. Let it be known to all people
believing in Christ, present as well as absent, clerics and laymen, that count
Sigefridus, born of noble origin, desiring to obtain as property the castle
which is called Lucilinburhuc [Luxemburg], proceeded to the lord archbishop
Bruno, viz., the brother of emperor Otto, who [Bruno] then held the first
place in the entire kingdom after [the emperor] himself, and disclosed his
desire to him [Bruno]. With the advice of the archbishop having been obtained,
and license secured from him, he [Sigefridus] went to abbot Wikerus and to the
other monks of Saint-Maximin, in whose estate the castle was situated, asking
that he be allowed to exchange it with his own allod. The abbot, willingly
consenting along with the brothers, agreed, and [the parties involved] met
among themselves, so that the possessions might be exchanged to the advantage
of both parties. The aforesaid count thus gave to Saint-Maximin, legally
handed over from his own property, one and a half manses with tenants bound to
pay rent [censuales], in the comitatus of count Gislebertus in the pagus of
Ardenne in the village which is called Viulna [Feulen]. He accepted from the
aforesaid abbot, with consent of a meeting of the monks, the above named
castle, with the outlets and returns and all lands from the riverbed of the
river Alzette up to those old tree trunks which stand before the
fortifications of the same castle, behind which it extends long and wide. This
same fortification is situated in the pagus of Methingow in the comitatus of
count Godefridus, beyond the coast of the river Alzette. And so, this exchange
has been made by this decree, so that each party, viz., of the abbot and of
the count, should possess from that which has been agreed in free perpetuity
and have suitable power to hold, bequeath, sell, or whatever [each party]
wishes to do from now, without the contadiction of any man. For this, whether
an exchange or even a surrendur, was enacted publicly in the city of Trèves in
the monastery of our famous patron, on the day of the palms [Palm Sunday] on
the fifteenth of the kalends of May, with abbot Wikerus assisting, as well as
Hilderadus, advocate of the same monastery, and very many other witnesses,
monks, canons, and laity. The mark [or sign] of the lord archbishop Bruno, who
has ordered this exchange to be legally enacted. The mark of Henricus,
archbishop of Troves, who by by his counsel was present through all of this
matter. ... etc. ... Names of laymen: The mark of Fridericus, duke of
Lorraine, with whose consent and praise this work was entirely completed. ...
etc. The drawing up of this charter was enacted in the year of the incarnation
of the Lord 963, in the sixth indiction, in the second year of the reign of
king Otto and the holding of the imperial principate of his father. [Wampach
(1935), 231-6 (#173); see also Grob (1900), 91-4 for a parallel Latin-German
edition of this document] [Ref: HenryII siegf000 4/5/2007]
