Ekbert

According to Cawley this is possibly the same person as Ekbert Billung , see below.

Duke Konrad & his wife had [nine] children:

1. [EKBERT . "Otto…imperator augustus" granted property by the spurious charter dated 13 Jan 965 to the church of Oehningen, built according to the document by "domnus Chono comes de Oningen" with the consent of "uxoris sui Richlinde, filiorumque eius Eggeberti, Luipoldi, Chononis, Lutoldi"[112]. The Genealogia Welforum names (in order) "Egebertum marchionem de Stadin, Leopaldum, Liutoldum, Chunonem et 4 filias" as children of "Chuno comes [et] filia Ottonis Magni imperatoris"[113]. The Historia Welforum names (in order) "Eggebertum, Leopaldum, Liutoldum, Counonem" as the four sons of "Couno comes" and "filia Ottonis magnis imperatoris…Richlint", specifying that Ekbert obtained "marchiam illam que est in finibus Saxonie versus Danos, Stadin"[114]. Presumably these three documents are all based on the same source. No other reference has been identified to "marchiam…Stadin". No record has been found of a Graf von Stade named Ekbert. It is possible that there is confusion with Ekbert Billung [I] "der Einäugige", count in Saxony, who was probably the son of Wichmann [I] (see the document SAXONY DUKES & ELECTORS).]
