MEGINHARD [IV], son of [THIEMO [I] Graf von Schweinachgau, in Reichenhall und im Salzburggau [Formbach] & his wife ---] (-killed in battle 1066). According to the 14th century Genealogia comitum Neuburgensium sive Formbacensium, "Meginhardus frater senioris Tiemonis genuit Oudalricum, Hermannum provincie comitem et Chunradum"[2260], although it appears chronologically more probable that Meginhard was the son rather than brother of "senioris Tiemonis" considering that it is unlikely that Meginhard's sons were born much before [1045/50]. Wegener refers to abbot Wirnto's description of the foundation of the abbey of Vornbach dated [1108/27] which names "Meginhardus comes, Ekibertus comes, Oudalricus comes supranominati [Meginhardi] filius et frater eius Hermannus comes et nepos Chounradi comes filius supradicti Oudalrici, Ekibertus comes, Heinricus comes et filius eius Dietricus comes"[2261]. Graf. Vogt von Niederaltaich [1060]. "Heinricus…rex" donated property "villam Geroltisdorf in pago Bunnaha in comitatu Meginhardi comitis" to Kloster Gurk by charter dated 1066[2262].

m [MECHTILD von Reinhausen, daughter of ELLE Graf [von Reinhausen] & his wife ---] (-1073 or after). Reinhard Abbot of Reinhausen’s work about the family of Reinhard Bishop of Halberstadt names “Mathild et Rikence” as the two daughters of “Elle”, adding that Mechtild married “Bavro principi” by whom she had “Hermannum de Winzenburch”[2263]. The accuracy of this source is unknown, particularly because the name of Mechtild’s husband is recorded only in general terms
