• b) [--- von Beichlungen . Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1273 under which [her sons] “Guntherus et Guntherus fratres in Keuerinberg comites” reached agreement with Hersfeld abbey concerning certain properties in Arnstedt, after the mediation of “patruo nostro comite Gunthero de Swarzburg seniore”, witnessed by “...avunculus noster comes Fridericus de Bichelingen senior...”[64]. This assumes that “avunculus” in this document can be interpreted in its strict sense of maternal uncle. This is not inevitably the case as, in the same document, the term “patruus” is used to indicate father’s first cousin not paternal uncle. m GÜNTHER [IV] von Käfernburg, son of GÜNTHER [III] Graf von Käfernburg & his wife --- (-[7 Mar 1268/20 Nov 1269]).]
