General Notes:
ENGELBERT ([1099/1102]-20 Sep 1161). The Chronicon Magni Presbiteri names "domnus Gebhardus Hallensis comes filius domni Engelberti item Hallensis comitis". Wegener refers to a source which names "Richkart uxor Gebehardi comitis et filius eius Engilpreht". Hallgraf 1116/1124. von Lindburg 1129. "Engilbertus Hallensium Comes" restored "monasterii Atilensis…in territorio Frisingensi" [Ättl], with the advice of "nobilium Bavarie comitis…Perchtoldi de Andechs, Sifridi Comitis de Hochenburch, Chunonis de Megelingen, Herrandi de Amrangi, Burchardi de Mospurc", by charter dated to [1137] which records its foundation by "quodam Friderico cognomento Roche". Graf von Wasserburg 1138. "Enchelbertus Comes Hallensis et filius eius Gebehardus…" witnessed a charter dated to [1140] recording a donation to Reichersberg monastery. "Dominus Engelbertus Hallensis Comes…cum uxore sua Hadewiga et duobus filiis suis Gebehardo et Diterico" donated property to Reichersberg monastery by charter dated to [1150]. The necrology of Ättl records the death "XII Kal Sep" of "Engelbertus com secundus fundator huius monasterii Ättle 1087 et Mathildis uxor eius, Ekhardus et Dietricus filii eius". Although the date 1087 must be incorrect, the charter dated to [1137] quoted above shows that this entry must refer to Engelbert Graf von Wasserburg.
m (before 1145) HEDWIG, daughter of DIETRICH [Graf von Viechtenstein [Formbach] & his wife Adelheid ---] (-4 Feb 1170, bur Reichersberg). "Dominus Engelbertus Hallensis Comes…cum uxore sua Hadewiga et duobus filiis suis Gebehardo et Diterico" donated property to Reichersberg monastery by charter dated to [1150]. Her parentage is confirmed by the charter dated to [1160] under which "Domina Hadewick Comitissa" donated property to Reichersberg monastery, for the souls of "senioris sui Comitis Engelberei et patris sui Comitis Diterici", on the assumption that "Comitis Diterici" was Dietrich Graf von Viechtenstein although this is probably not without all doubt. Wegener refers to the uncertainty about the identity of Hedwig´s father, but adds that this is indicated by Graf Engelbert owning Viechtenstein and Kreizenstein after Graf Dietrich's death. "Nobilis Princeps Dominus Gebehardus Hallensis Comes…cum matre sua Domina Hadewiga comitissa" donated property to Reichersberg monastery, with the consent of "fratre suo comite Diterico", by charter dated to [1160]. The necrology of Ättl records the death "XII Kal Sep" of "Engelbertus com secundus fundator huius monasterii Ättle 1087 et Mathildis [error for Hadewigis] uxor eius, Ekhardus et Dietricus filii eius". She became a nun at Reichersberg. The Chronicon Magni Presbiteri records the burial "VI Id Feb 1170" of "domna Hadewich ex comitissa conversa" in "capitolio canonicorum".
Graf Engelbert & his wife had six children: Ekkehard, Gebhard, Dietrich, Kunigunde, Adelheid and Richardis. 1
