      Hadwig war jünger als ihr Bruder Otto (* 912) und ihre Schwester Gerberga, aber älter als ihr Bruder Heinrich (* 921). 937 oder 938 wurde sie mit Hugo dem Großen, Herzog von Franzien, vermählt. Ihr Sohn Hugo Capet, der 987 französischer König wurde, kam um 940 zur Welt. Weitere Söhne sind Odo (von 956 bis 965 Herzog von Burgund) und Odo-Heinrich (von 965 bis 1001 Herzog von Burgund).

      Beim Tod Hugos des Großen 956 war ihr Sohn Hugo Capet noch nicht volljährig, deshalb übernahm ihr Bruder Brun die Vormundschaft. Brun hatte bereits 954 die Vormundschaft für seinen Neffen Lothar, den Sohn seiner Schwester Gerberga, übernommen und bekam dadurch eine sehr einflussreiche Stellung in Frankreich.

      She married Hugues of Neustria, Comte de Paris, son of Robert I, Roi de France, before 14 September 938. (1)

      She died after 965, on a 10 May.

      Hedwig von Sachsen was also known as Hatwide.1

      From the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy page on France Capetian Kings:

      http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/CAPET.htm#Huguesdied956A

      Hugues Le Grand married thirdly ([9 May/14 Sep] 937) HEDWIG of Germany, daughter of HEINRICH I King of Germany & his second wife Mathilde [Immedinger] ([922]-9 Jan [958 or after 965]).

      "Hugues abbé de Saint-Martin" donated "son alleu de Lachy…dans le comté de Meaux", inherited from "comte Aledramnus", to Tours Saint-Martin by charter dated 14 Sep 937 which names "sa femme Havis"[96].

      Rodulfus Glauber names "sororem [=Otto] Haduidem" as wife of "Hugo dux Francorum cognomento Magnus"[97]. Flodoard refers to "sororem Othonis regis Transfhenensis, filiam Heinrici" as the wife of "Hugo princeps, filius Roberti", without naming her, recording their marriage in 938[98]. Flodoard also refers to "relicta Hugonis" as "amita Lotharius rex"[99].

      The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "V Id Jan" of "Hadhuidis comitissa"[100].

      Duke Hugues & his third wife had four children:

      1. Hugues (b. c.940, d. 24 October 996 at Villa Les Juifs, near Prasville, Eure-et-Loire, buried Eglise de l'Abbaye Royale de St-Denis, First King of France)

      2. Emma (b. c.943, d. after 18 March 968, married as first wife Richard I Sans Peur Comte de Normandie)

      3. Otton (Eudes, b. c.945, d. 23 February 965, buried St-Germain d'Auxerre, installed by Lothaire as Duke of Burgundy)

      4. Eudes (Odo, b. c.948, d. 15 October 1002 at Chateau de Poilly-sur-Saone, buried Auxerre, adopted the name of Henri when becoming Duke of Burgundy, apparently different from previous brother)
