Hermann var hertug av Sachsen 961 - 973.

Han var stamfar til det Billungske hus. Forbindelsen med den eldre Billungslekten er usikker. Det er mulig at hans far var Billung som var greve av Sachsen og som døde i 967. Hermann døde i 973 antagelig ca. 70 år gammel.

Billungslekten etterfulgte Liudolfingerslekten som hertuger av Sachsen fra 961 til 1106 og ble etterfulgt av Askanierslekten. Hertugdømmet Sachsen var en del av det tysk-romerske riket. 1)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_II%2C_Duke_of_Saxony

Bernard II (c. 995 – 29 June 1059) was the Duke of Saxony (1011 – 1059), the third of the Billung dynasty, a son of Bernard I and Hildegard. He had the rights of a count in Frisia.

Like his father, Bernard expanded the powers of the duke in Saxony and is regarded as the greatest of the Billungers. He was originally a supporter of Emperor Henry II and he accompanied him into Poland and negotiated the treaty of Bautzen of 1018. In 1019-1020, he revolted and gained the recognition of the tribal laws of Saxony, something his father had just failed to do. He returned then to war with the Slavs and drew them into his sphere of power and influence through their leader, Godescalc (Gottschalk).

He supported Conrad II in 1024 and his son Henry III, though he began to fear the latter for his closeness to the Archbishop Adalbert of Bremen, an inveterate enemy of the dukes of Saxony. Though he was a critical ally of the Danes, so fundamental to Henry's wars in the Netherlands, Bernard was on the brink of rebellion until the death of Adalbert. The remainder of his reign, however, was quiet.

In 1045, he erected the Alsterburg in Hamburg. He died in 1059 and was succeeded without incident by his son Ordulf. He is buried in the Church of Saint Michael in Lüneburg.

Wechseln zu: Navigation, Suche

Bernhard II. (* nach 990; † 29. Juni 1059) aus der Familie der Billunger war seit dem Jahr 1011 Herzog in Sachsen. Er war der Sohn von Herzog Bernhard I. und Hildegard. Sein jüngerer Bruder war Thietmar.

Er war Vogt zu Lüneburg, Verden, Möllenbeck, Minden, Herford, Kemnade und Fischbeck und besaß Grafenrechte bis nach Friesland hin.

Den Kaiser Heinrich II. unterstützte er nur lasch gegen Polen und vermittelte 1018 den Frieden von Bautzen.

1019/20 rebellierte er und erzwang die Anerkennung aller Stammesrechte.

Mit Hilfe von Fürst Gottschalk band er die Slawen wieder enger ans Reich. 1024 erkannte er Konrad II. an.

Er stand gegen die Grafen von Stade und von Werl. Ferner gegen die Erzbischöfe von Bremen und die sächsischen Bischöfe, ab 1043 besonders gegen den Erzbischof Adalbert von Bremen, dem er die Schuld am Tod seines Bruders gab. Thietmar soll angeblich 1048 einen Mordanschlag auf Heinrich III. geplant haben.

1045 ließ er die Alsterburg in Hamburg errichten. Nach seinem Tod wurde er in der St.-Michaelis-Kirche in Lüneburg begraben.

Bernard II

Duke of Saxony

Reign 1011-1059

Born 995

Died 1059

Predecessor Bernard I

Successor Ordulf

Bernard II (c. 995 – 29 June 1059) was the Duke of Saxony (1011 – 1059), the third of the Billung dynasty, a son of Bernard I and Hildegard. He had the rights of a count in Frisia.

Bernard expanded the powers of the duke in Saxony and is regarded as the greatest of the Billungers. He was originally a supporter of Emperor Henry II and he accompanied him into Poland and negotiated the treaty of Bautzen of 1018. In 1019-1020, he revolted and gained the recognition of the tribal laws of Saxony, something his father had just failed to do. He returned then to war with the Slavs (Obodrites and Lutici) and drew them into his sphere of power and influence through their leader, Godescalc (Gottschalk).

He supported Conrad II in 1024 and his son Henry III, though he began to fear the latter for his closeness to the Archbishop Adalbert of Bremen, an inveterate enemy of the dukes of Saxony. Though he was a critical ally of the Danes, so fundamental to Henry's wars in the Low Countries, Bernard was on the brink of rebellion until the death of Adalbert. The remainder of his reign, however, was quiet.

In 1045, he erected the Alsterburg in Hamburg. He died in 1059 and was succeeded without incident by his son Ordulf. He is buried in the Church of Saint Michael in Lüneburg.

Bernard II (c. 995 – 29 June 1059) was the Duke of Saxony (1011 – 1059), the third of the Billung dynasty, a son of Bernard I and Hildegard. He had the rights of a count in Frisia.

Bernard expanded the powers of the duke in Saxony and is regarded as the greatest of the Billungers. He was originally a supporter of Emperor Henry II and he accompanied him into Poland and negotiated the treaty of Bautzen of 1018. In 1019-1020, he revolted and gained the recognition of the tribal laws of Saxony, something his father had just failed to do. He returned then to war with the Slavs and drew them into his sphere of power and influence through their leader, Godescalc (Gottschalk).

He supported Conrad II in 1024 and his son Henry III, though he began to fear the latter for his closeness to the Archbishop Adalbert of Bremen, an inveterate enemy of the dukes of Saxony. Though he was a critical ally of the Danes, so fundamental to Henry's wars in the Low Countries, Bernard was on the brink of rebellion until the death of Adalbert. The remainder of his reign, however, was quiet.

In 1045, he erected the Alsterburg in Hamburg. He died in 1059 and was succeeded without incident by his son Ordulf. He is buried in the Church of Saint Michael in Lüneburg.
