Godila, von Rothenburg

[--- .] m WERNER [Graf von Rothenburg], son of ---. ["Varneri comitis, Richardi comitis…" witnessed the charter dated 986 under which Gérard Bishop of Toul donated the church of Andelier to the abbey of Saint-Mansuy[735]. It is uncertain whether "Varneri comitis" refers to the father of Godila.] One child:

a) GODILA (-1015). Thietmar names a "nobly born woman from the West…Godila" as wife of Lothar, naming her father Werner and specifying that her cousin was Wicfrid Bishop of Verdun[736]. Thietmar records that Godila remained unmarried for four years after her husband died then married secondly "her relative Hermann"[737]. Godila's second husband has been identified as Hermann [II] Graf von Werl[738]. If this is correct she must have been his second wife as Thietmar records that "she was denied any hope of future offspring" as she was excommunicated for the marriage, her husband being "her relative"[739].

x m firstly LOTHAR [III] Graf von Walbeck, Markgraf der Nordmark, son of LOTHAR [II] Graf von Walbeck & his wife Mathilde von Arneburg (-25 Jan 1003, bur Köln Cathedral).

LOTHAR [III] von Walbeck (-25 Jan 1003, bur Köln Cathedral). Thietmar names his paternal uncle Liuthar, recording that he attempted to deprive his mother of all her possessions after the death of his brother Siegfried[1751]. Graf im Derlingau und im Nordthüringgau 982. He succeeded in 982 as LOTHAR I Markgraf der Nordmark. The Annalista Saxo records that he was installed as Markgraf after "Teoderici ducis et marchionis" was deprived of the dignity following the destruction by the Slavs of the churches "Branneburch et Havelbergan" and their relapse into paganism[1752]. Thietmar records the death on 25 Jan, in the first year of the reign of King Heinrich II (1003), of "Markgraf Liuthar" and his burial at Köln[1753].
x m as her first husband, GODILA, daughter of WERNER [Graf von Rothenburg] & his wife --- (-1015). Thietmar names a "nobly born woman from the West…Godila" as wife of Lothar, naming her father Werner and specifying that her cousin was Wicfrid Bishop of Verdun[1754]. Thietmar records that Godila remained unmarried for four years after her husband died then married secondly "her relative Hermann"[1755]. She married secondly (1007) Hermann [II] Graf von Werl. Godila's second husband has been identified as Hermann [II] Graf von Werl[1756]. If this is correct she must have been his second wife as Thietmar records that "she was denied any hope of future offspring" as she was excommunicated for the marriage, her husband being "her relative"[1757]. Graf Lothar [III] & his wife had [four] children:

i) WERNER von Walbeck (-murdered Allerstedt 11 Nov 1014, bur Walbeck Monastery). Thietmar records the birth of Werner as first son of Lothar and his wife, born when his mother was "in her thirteenth year"[1758]. The Annalista Saxo names "marchio Werinharius" as son of Lothar[1759]. He succeeded in 1003 as WERNER Markgraf der Nordmark, until 1009. After accusations brought against him at Merseburg by Graf Dedo [Wettin], Werner was deprived of his titles[1760]. Thietmar records Werner abduction of Reinhild "mistress of Beichlingen" in Nov 1014, his capture and planned trial, his death "on the feast of St Martin having patiently endured whatever misfortunes had hitherto come his way", and his burial[1761]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "11 Nov" of "Wirinher com"[1762]. m (Jan 1003) LIUTGARD von Meissen, daughter of EKKEHARD I Markgraf von Meissen & his wife Schwanehild [Billung] (-13 Nov [1012], bur Walbeck Monastery). Thietmar names Liutgard as first born child of Ekkehard and his wife Swanhild[1763]. "Liutgardem" is also named in the Annalista Saxo, which records her parentage[1764]. Thietmar describes Liutgard as "on the one side…my niece and on the other my cousin's wife" when recording her death[1765], although she was rather remotely related to Thietmar to be described as his niece. Thietmar records the betrothal of Werner & Liutgard daughter of Ekkehard after Werner abducted her from the fortress of Quedlinburg, and in a later passage their eventual marriage in Jan of the first year of the reign of King Heinrich II (1003)[1766]. Thietmar records her death on 13 Nov, in a passage dated to 1012, and her burial at Walbeck monastery[1767].
ii) LOTHAR [IV] von Walbeck (-killed in battle 1033). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. He succeeded as LOTHAR II Markgraf der Nordmark, Graf von Walbeck. m ---. The name of Lothar's wife is not known. Graf Lothar [IV] & his wife had one child:
iii) BERTHOLD von Walbeck (-1018 or after). Thietmar names "Berthold, Liuthar's son", when recording that he invaded Burg Monreberg and killed Balderic in 1017, but in a later passage that he surrendered to the emperor voluntarily[1770]. [m IRMGARD von Aspel, daughter of GODIZO Graf von Aspel und Heimbach & his wife --- de Verdun [Wigeriche]. The primary source which confirms Irmgard's origin has not yet been identified. However, the Vita Meinwerci records a donation (undated, but with other donations dated [1022]%29 of "comes…Godizo" with the consent of "coniugis suæ Addilæ ac sororis suæ heredis iustissimæ", witnessed by "Liudolfi, Udonis, Hiddonis, Acca comitum"[1771], which suggests that any children of Godizo predeceased their father. The same source records that Godizo's sister was his heiress, meaning that Berthold could not have had any surviving children by his marriage to Irmgard.]
iv) [DIETRICH . Thietmar names "my cousin Dietrich", recording that he was a canon at Magdeburg in [1008/09][1772].]
