HERMANN von Windberg, son of MEGINHARD IV Vogt von Niederaltaich [Formbach] & his wife Mathilde von Reinhausen (-Vornbach 1122). According to the 14th century Genealogia comitum Neuburgensium sive Formbacensium, "Meginhardus frater senioris Tiemonis genuit Oudalricum, Hermannum provincie comitem et Chunradum"[1557], although it appears incorrect that their father was brother of "senioris Tiemonis". Graf von Windberg 1097. The Codex Traditionum of Formbach monastery records a donation by "domnus Odalricus de Windeperge frater domni Herimanni", and names "Thiemo avus suus"[1558]. The Codex Traditionum of Formbach monastery records a dispute with Suben monastery, and names "due…sorores Touta et Himildrud…nobilissimis" and "filios Meginhardi comitis Odalricum et Hermannum ac filios Tiemonis Ekkebertum et Heinricum et domnam Itam"[1559]. Graf von Windberg 1097. Graf von Ratelberg 1107. Graf von Winzenburg 1109. Markgraf 1112. Markgraf von Sachsen 1114. He founded Kloster Reinhausen 1108. The Annales Reicherspergenses record the death in 1122 of "Hermannus comes provincialis"[1560]. The Auctarium Claustroneoburgense records the death in 1122 of "Hermannus comes provincialis de Saxonia"[1561]. The Annales Stadenses record that "comitis Burchardi de Lucken" killed "lantgravius Hermannus de Wincenburg"[1562]. married firstly ? The primary source which confirms this first marriage has not been identified. married secondly HEDWIG, daughter of --- (-Kloster Windberg 1 Dec 1162). The Codex Traditionum of Formbach monastery records a donation by "Comes Chonradus de Ratelinberg…per manum patrui sui comitis Hermanni de Windeperge", which names the latter´s wife "cometissa Haedewic cum filio suo Herimanno"[1563]. Wegener records that Hadewich, widow of Graf Heriman, donated property to Göttweig with her son Heriman by charter dated [1122], witnessed by Adalbert son of Markgraf Luitpold[1564]. The necrology of Windberg records the death "Kal Dec 1162" of "Hadewich coma et fundatrix loci huius"[1565]. The necrology of Oberaltaich records the death "Kal Dec" of "Hadewic coma"[1566]. It is possible that she was Hedwig of Carniola and Istria, daughter of Poppo II Marchese di Carniola e Istria & his wife Richgard von Sponheim, who married [secondly] ([1123]%29 as his second wife, Adalbert [II] Graf von Bogen. The Historia Welforum refers to the two daughters of "Poponem marchionem", specifying that they married "unam Bertholfo comiti de Andehse, aliam Alberto comiti de Bogen"[1567]. The De Advocatis Altahensibus names "Hadwigam" as wife of "Aschwinus…comes de Bogen…dicitur Adilpertum comitem", specifying that her husband was "advocatus Altahensis ecclesie"[1568]. The primary source which specifies clearly that the wife of Graf Adalbert was the widow of Graf Hermann has not so far been identified, although the [1122] charter referred to above suggests that this might be correct.

Graf Hermann & his [first] wife had four children:

• 1. KONRAD von Winzenburg "Cuonradus comitis Heremanni filius" witnessed the charter dated 1122 under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed an exchange of property with the abbot of Hasungen[1569]. "Palatinus comes Willelmus, Marchio Adelbertus, comes Herimannus et frater eius Cunradus…" witnessed a charter dated 15 Jul 1128 under which Adalbert Archbishop of Mainz confirmed an exchange of property between "heredes comites Rodulfi…marchionis…prefati comitis filius Rodulfus…matre eius religiosa vidua Richarde…et fratre predicti pueri Udone iam milite facto et uxorato…" and the provost of Jechenburg[1570]. It is assumed that the first of these two charters was issued shortly before the death of Konrad's father Hermann, which is recorded in the same year. If this is correct, the absence of Konrad's brother Hermann [II] suggests that Konrad was the older son and at that date considered as his father's heir. However, this hypothesis is cast in doubt by the second charter, in which it is unclear why Konrad's brother Hermann is accorded the comital title while Konrad himself is not. No primary source has been identified which confirms that Konrad was born from his father's supposed first marriage.
• 2. BEATRIX von Winzenburg (-2 Apr 1160). The Annales Palidenses record the death in 1160 of "domna Sophia marchionissa" and that of "soror eius Beatrix abbatissa Quidlingeburgensis octavo die…subsecuta"[1571]. Abbess of Neuenheerse 1123. Abbess of Quedlinburg 1138/1160.
• 3. DIETRICH von Winzenburg (-28 Feb 1127). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Canon at Münster Cathedral 1110. Deacon 1118. Bishop of Münster 1118.
• 4. GOTTFRIED von Winzenburg The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Canon at Münster Cathedral 1110, later scholastikus.

• 5. HERMANN [II] von Winzenburg (-murdered Winzenburg 30 Jan 1152). The Codex Traditionum of Formbach monastery records a donation by "Comes Chonradus de Ratelinberg…per manum patrui sui comitis Hermanni de Windeperge", which names the latter´s wife "cometissa Haedewic cum filio suo Herimanno"[1572].

"…Comes Hermannus…" witnessed the charter dated 9 Nov 1141 under which Markolf Archbishop of Mainz confirmed the foundation of Kloster St Blasius at Northeim by "Sigefridi comitis"[1578]. In 1144, he bought the largest part of the inheritance of Siegfried [IV] Graf von Boyneburg [Nordheim], whose widow married Hermann's younger brother Heinrich. The transfer was recognised by Konrad III King of Germany who enfeoffed Graf Hermann with the territories, creating a powerful counterbalance in southern Saxony to the weight of Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony [Welf][1579]. Vogt von Corvey 1147. He was murdered by ministeriales on account of his arrogance[1580]. The succession to his estates was disputed between Heinrich "der Löwe" Duke of Saxony and Albrecht "der Bär" Markgraf von Brandenburg, ignoring the rights of his daughters or the children of his deceased younger brother Heinrich[1581]. The dispute was finally resolved at the diet of Würzburg in Oct 1153 when Friedrich I "Barbarossa" King of Germany awarded the Winzenburg inheritance to Duke Heinrich, while Markgraf Albrecht received the similarly disputed Plötzkau lands[1582].

The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Rodolfum, Udonem et Hartwigum Bremensem archiepiscopum, et filiam nomine Liuccardem" as children of "Rodolfus comes frater Udonis marchionis" & his wife Richardis, specifying that Liutgard married "Friedericus iunior de Sumersenburh palatinus comes"[1586].

The primary source which confirms her name has not yet been identified. Canoness at Quedlinburg 1188.
  

• 6. MECHTILD von Winzenburg (-23 May 1155). The Annales Stadenses refer to the wife of "Udonem [filius Rodulfi]" as sister of "Hermanni qui occisus est Wincenburg" but does not name her[1591]. The Fasti Corbeienses (Continuatio altera) records the death in 1155 of “Beatrix soror Hermanni comitis de Winzeburch, vidua Udonis marchionis et comitis de Frekleue”[1592].

It is not certain that this donation was made by Graf Siegfried [IV], although his connection with Amelungsborn as founder suggests that it may be so despite no title or other geographical epithet being attached to the donor named in this document. Heinrich Archbishop of Mainz confirmed that “comite Sigfrido de Buomeneburc” had died “sine heredibus” and that “vidua defuncti comitis cum marito nuper sibi contracto Heinrico comite et Herimanno fratre ipsius, de Plesse” had donated property to Northeim and Reinhausen abbeys in his memory, by charter dated 27 Nov 1144[1599].

Her parentage and marriage are deduced from the charter dated 5 Mar 1185, under which Philipp Archbishop of Köln confirmed the donation to Loccum by “neptis mea Adheleydis comitissa de Scowenburg” (with the consent of “matris sue Salome sororis mee”)[1602], read together with Arnold's Chronica Slavorum which records the marriage of "comes Adolfus" and "filiam comitis Ottonis de Dasle"[1603].

Poppo II, Margrave of Carniola, by Wikipedia

Poppo II (died 1098), Count of Weimar-Orlamünde, was margrave of Carniola from 1070 and of Istria from 1096 to his death.

He married Richgard (lt: Richardis), daughter of Count Engelbert of Sponheim (de), who governed Istria until his death on 1 April 1096. According to the 1170 Historia Welforum chronicle, Poppo and Richgard had two daughters:

• Sophia of Istria (d. 1132), married Count Berthold II of Andechs, mother of Margrave Berthold I of Istria (1110/1122–1188)
• Hedwig, married firstly Count Herman I of Winzenburg and secondly Count Adalbert II of Bogen.

Poppo remained a loyal supporter of the Salian emperor Henry IV during the Investiture Controversy. Because of his lack of surviving sons, he was succeeded by his younger brother Ulric II.
