    Notes 
    • Oda van Billung[1]

      Per Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) (19 May 10): Oda dau of Frankish princeps named Billung (House of Billung) and his wife Aeda. Oda died on 17 May 913, supposedly at age of 107.

      Oda married Liudolf, Duke of Saxony before 830.

      Liudolf was a Saxon count, son of one Count (Graf) Brun (Brunhart) and his wife Gisla von Verla; later authors called him duke of the Eastern Saxons (dux orientalis Saxonum, probably since 850) and count of Eastphalia.

      Liudolf and Oda had six children:

      Brun (Bruno); became Duke.
      Otto the Illustrious, father of Henry the Fowler;
      Liutgard married King Louis the Younger in 874;
      Hathumoda, became an abbess; (840-29 Sep 874)
      Gerberga, became an abbess;
      Christina, became an abess.
      By marrying a Frankish nobleman's daughter, Liudolf followed suggestions set forth by Charlemagne about ensuring the integrity of the Frankish Empire in the aftermath of the Saxon Wars through marriage.

      In 845/846, Liudolf and Oda traveled to Rome in order to ask Pope Sergius II for permission to found a house of secular canonesses, duly established at their proprietary church in Brunshausen around 852, and moved in 881 to form Gandersheim Abbey. Liudolf and Oda 's minor daughter Hathumod became the first abbess.
