The name of Liutfried´s wife is not known. Liutfried [III] & his wife had four children:

a) HUNFRIED (-after 21 Feb 903). “Lutfridus” donated property “quod ego et fratre meo Hugone in partem hereditariam possedi”, with the consent of “filiis meis Huntfrido, Lutfrido, Hugone”, to St Trudpert´s monastery, by charter dated 21 Feb 903[195]. “Albertus comes de Habesburg. Lantgravius Alsatie” confirmed the privileges of “monasterii Sancti Trudperti...in Nigra Silva” founded by “prædecessorum et progenitorum nostrorum Lutfridi comitis, Otperti et Ramperti”, by charter dated 1186, which quotes the earlier charter dated 21 Feb 903 (“anno III regnante Ludevico filio Arnolfi, sub comite Wolfilino”) under which “Luitfridus...et fratre meo Hugone” confirmed the foundation by “antecessoribus meis Otperto...et Ramperto”, with the consent of “filiis meis Hunfrido (...in Norgauwe), Luitfrido (...in Sungawa), Hugone (...in Eginsheim)”[196].
b) LIUTFRIED [IV]. “Lutfridus” donated property “quod ego et fratre meo Hugone in partem hereditariam possedi”, with the consent of “filiis meis Huntfrido, Lutfrido, Hugone”, to St Trudpert´s monastery, by charter dated 21 Feb 903[197]. “Albertus comes de Habesburg. Lantgravius Alsatie” confirmed the privileges of “monasterii Sancti Trudperti...in Nigra Silva” founded by “prædecessorum et progenitorum nostrorum Lutfridi comitis, Otperti et Ramperti”, by charter dated 1186, which quotes the earlier charter dated 21 Feb 903 (“anno III regnante Ludevico filio Arnolfi, sub comite Wolfilino”) under which “Luitfridus...et fratre meo Hugone” confirmed the foundation by “antecessoribus meis Otperto...et Ramperto”, with the consent of “filiis meis Hunfrido (...in Norgauwe), Luitfrido (...in Sungawa), Hugone (...in Eginsheim)”[198]. [The Chronicon Ebersheimense records that, during the reign of Emperor Otto I, “Liutfridus comes de nobili Burgundionum genere” donated “allodium suum in Artolsheim”[199]. It is not known with certainty that the donor was Liutfried [IV].] [The Casus Sancti Galli names "in Alsatiam…Luitfrido" as in "terræ illius potentissimo" when recording that Alsace was devastated by "Ungri"[200], presumably referring to the Magyars. The passage is undated. It is not known whether this Magyar raid into Alsace occurred before or after their first important defeat at the hands of Heinrich I "der Vogelsteller" King of Germany at Riade near Merseburg in 933[201]. The immediately following passage names "Burgundionum rex Chuonradus, adolescens floridus" which suggests dating to the late 930s/early 940s. The chronology suggests that this text refers to Liutfried [IV], although this is not beyond all doubt.]
c) HUGO. “Lutfridus” donated property “quod ego et fratre meo Hugone in partem hereditariam possedi”, with the consent of “filiis meis Huntfrido, Lutfrido, Hugone”, to St Trudpert´s monastery, by charter dated 21 Feb 903[202]. “Albertus comes de Habesburg. Lantgravius Alsatie” confirmed the privileges of “monasterii Sancti Trudperti...in Nigra Silva” founded by “prædecessorum et progenitorum nostrorum Lutfridi comitis, Otperti et Ramperti”, by charter dated 1186, which quotes the earlier charter dated 21 Feb 903 (“anno III regnante Ludevico filio Arnolfi, sub comite Wolfilino”) under which “Luitfridus...et fratre meo Hugone” confirmed the foundation by “antecessoribus meis Otperto...et Ramperto”, with the consent of “filiis meis Hunfrido (...in Norgauwe), Luitfrido (...in Sungawa), Hugone (...in Eginsheim)”[203].
d) ADELAIS. The necrology of Brixen records that "Liutfrid comes tradidit filiam suam Adelei"[204]. Nun at Brixen.

3. [AVA. According to Europäische Stammtafeln[205], the wife of Unruoch was the possible daughter of Liutfried [I]. This affiliation is suggested presumably only for onomastic reasons, her name being the same as that of her supposed paternal grandmother. The primary source which corroborates the name of Unruoch's wife has not been identified. m UNRUOCH, son of EBERHARD Marchese of Friulia & his wife Gisela [Carolingian] ([840]-874 after 1 Jul).]
