  • Name Oda  
    Gender Female 
    Death Yes, date unknown 
    Notes 
    • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman,_Duke_of_Saxony


      Hermann Billung maybe was married twice: According to the chronicles of St Michael's Abbey in Lüneburg, a Countess Oda died on 15 March in an unknown year after 973, the Xanten annals noted the death of one «i»Ode«/i», spouse of Duke Hermann, on the same day. She probably was related with the royal Ottonian dynasty; Henry the Fowler's grandmother was named Oda (herself a member of the Billung dynasty), which was also the name of his sister. A second wife «i»Hildesuith«/i» or Hildegard of Westerburg is mentioned in the chronicles, but her relation to Oda remains unclear. Hildegard was also the name of the spouse of Hermann's son Bernard. The name of Hermann's grand-daughter Oda of Meissen indicate that Oda was the mother of his children.

      I have given the children to Oda, but some or all of them could just as well be Hildegard's children.
