- Research Notes
Hildesuith is mentioned in the chronicles as the second wife of Hermann Billung. [1]
Cawley notes that no primary source has been found that confirms the name for a possible second wife of Hermann Billung. [2]
According to Baldwin, Hildesuith was either the second wife of Hermann Billung or the first wife of his son Bernhard. [3]
"The claim that Hermann's wife was named Hildegarde is based on a late source which is evidently confusing the wives of Hermann and his son Bernhard". [3]
