Medlands quotes “Europäische Stammtafeln” and places Hadamot, Gerberga and Luitgard as daughters of Liutold, Comte de Montbéliard and his wife Williberga, Countess of Montbéliard in error. Primary sources about the Geisenfeld monastery show they are, in fact, the children of Count Werigand of Istria-Friuli and his wife Williburga II, de Semta et Ebersberg, comitissa.
