Gerberga van Hamaland

Daughter of Meginhard & his wife (name unknown). Only child. Mother of Wichmann [V] Graf van Hamaland. The identity of her husband is unknown. The name of his son, Wichmann, suggests a close family relationship with the Billung family of dukes of Saxony.

MEGINHARD, son of MEGINHARD & his wife Evesa --- [870/80]-[after 938]).
m ---. The name of Meginhard's wife is not known. Meginhard & his wife had one child:

• 1. GERBERGA ([905/10]-). Her parentage is confirmed by the Necrologium of Elten which records the death of "Meginhard, pater Gerberch, cuius filius Wichmannus comes fundator ecclesia"[712]. The identity of her husband is unknown. The name of his son, Wichmann, suggests a close family relationship with the Billung family of dukes of Saxony. The connection appears confirmed by Widukind who records that Meinwerk Bishop of Paderborn was "materno a Wichmanno, Herimanni ducis nepote, propinquo Ottonis I"[713], the bishop's mother being corroborated in other sources as Adela, daughter of Wichmann [V]. There are so many uncertainties regarding the genealogy of the Billung family that detailed speculation on any precise relationship does not seem worthwhile. Gerberga's husband is shown as a possible son of Billung only for the purposes of making the hyperlink connection. m [---, son of BILLUNG & his wife ---]. One child:
