      Titles
      Holy Roman Empress[3]
      Disputed Parents
      Based on a slim piece of documentation, some secondary sources speculate that her father may have been Adelchis I, Count of Parma and Duke of Spoleto, while others dispute this.[4]

      Other theories further confuse Engelberga's identity, so ultimately her parentage is still unknown.[5]

      Also note that the idea that her mother is Emma Welf, is based on the work of Mathieu (2000), which assumes a strict interpretation of particular words in a certain reference by Emperor Karl II.[6][7]

      Engelberga's parents are UNKNOWN.
