AGNES von Wangen, widow of HEINRICH I Graf von Tirol, daughter of ALBERO [I] von Wangen und Burgeis & his wife --- (-3 Nov ----). The primary source which confirms her parentage and two marriages has not been identified.

is the only source I've been able to find any documentation of this Agnes and it names her father but goes on to state that there is no identified primary source for either her father or her two marriages. No name is given for her mother.

So I first checked the profiles on the lines of her parents and see that there are no profiles notes or sources. I Googled trying to find something and only found a very few personal trees with no sources.

Thanks in advance if anyone has sources to document Agnes' lineage. I don't want to add ancestors to my personal tree for whom there is no validation that they're actually my ancestors and not just unsourced, speculative connections.

There should be some primary sources for her, as her brother was prince bishop of Trient/Trentino - see the German Wikipedia article at https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_von_Wangen

This site (if you can read German) gives references to tables in Detlev Schwennicke's Europäische Stammtafeln in which she is mentioned with her family: https://www.manfred-hiebl.de/genealogie-mittelalter/_1_abensberg_ra...

Schwennicke, though, is at best a tertiary source (individual facts are not cited to original sources, but there is a bibliography attached to each table).

The only secondary source mentioned on that page is p. 161 in an essay by Kamillo Trotter, published in 1917 (not 1919) - the full citation is item 24 here: http://opac.regesta-imperii.de/lang_en/autoren.php?name=Trotter%2C+...

Unfortunately, that periodical seems to have been digitized only up to 1908. I guess you'll have to see whether you can get a copy of the article through Interlibrary Loan.
