Engeltrude “Ingeltrudis”

Ingeltrude was the daughter of Eberhard (or Everard), Duke of the March of Friulia, and wife Gisela of Cysoing. She was born between 837 and 840, and died after 874. Scholar Eckhardt suggests that Ingeltrude was the wife of Heinrich von Babenberg, Margrave of Friesland, who died in 886. However, this appears impossible chronologically given that Heinrich's daughter Hedwig gave birth to her third child in 876.

Ingeltrude's mother Gisela, daughter of Louis the Pious and Judith of Bavaria, founded the Abbey at Cysoing in Flanders. She gave donations in the names of each of her children. She also provided burial plots at the Abbey for some of those children. Ingeltrude is on that list, which would suggest that she did not marry. MedLands does not list a husband for Ingeltrude other than the chronologically impossible Heinrich, discussed above.

2. ENGELTRUDE ([837/40]-after [874]). The Historia Ecclesiæ Cisoniensis records the testament of “Evrardus comes cum coniuge mea Gisla”, which bequeathes property to “filiabus…nostris…Ingeldrud…Ermen et Mareshem…”[264]. Eckhardt[265] suggests that Ingeltrudis was the wife of Heinrich dux [alte Babenberger] (who died in 886). However, this appears difficult chronologically given that Heinrich's daughter Hedwig gave birth to her third child in 876. The Historia Ecclesiæ Cisoniensis records that “Gisla” donated property to Cysoing abbey for her burial next to “coniugis mei dulcis memoriæ Evrardi”, by charter dated 2 Apr 870 which names “filiæ meæ Ingiltrudis…filius meus Rodulfus”[266]. "Gisle" donated property to Cysoing for the anniversaries of "Ludovico imperatore patre meo et…Judith imperatrice matre mea et…rege Karolo…germano et…prole mea…Hengeltrude, Hunroc, Berengario, Adelardo, Rodulpho, Hellwich, Gilla, Judith" by charter dated to [874][267].

HEINRICH, son of --- (-killed in battle Paris [before Sep] 886, bur St Médard at Soissons). ... ... ...

m BABA , daughter of --- (-after 864). The Annalista Saxo names Adalbert and his "pater Heinricus dux, mater Baba dicebatur"[95]. The primary source which confirms her name as Ingeltrudis has not yet been identified. Eckhardt suggests that Heinrich’s wife (whom he calls Ingeltrudis) was the daughter of Eberhard Marquis of Friulia & his wife Gisela [Carolingian], and therefore sister of Berengario I King of Italy[96]. This appears chronologically tight, although possible.

Heinrich & his wife had four children:

• 1. HEDWIG [Hathui] ([850/55]-24 Dec 903). ... ...
• 2. ADALBERT (-executed 9 Jun 906). ... ... ... ...
