Gisela von Schwaben

  General Notes:

GISELA (11 Nov 990-Goslar 16 Feb 1043, bur Speyer Cathedral). Herimannus names "sororis suæ [=Herimannus iunior dux Alamanniæ defunctus" as wife of Ernst when recording the latter's succession as Duke of Swabia in 1012. Wipo names "Herimannus dux Alamanniæ [et] Kerbirga filia Chuonradi regis de Burgundia" as the parents of "regis coniunx Gisela". The Notæ Sancti Blasii name her "Gisla de Werle" when recording her three marriages. The Annalista Saxo names her three husbands, although the order of her first and second marriages is interchanged which appears impossible chronologically. The necrology of Fulda records the death "1043 XVI Kal Mar" of "Gisela imp". Herimannus records her death at Goslar. The Annales Spirenses record the burial at Speyer of "Heinricus senior [=Heinricus IV] et aviam suam", the latter assumed to be Gisela his paternal grandmother rather than his maternal grandmother.
