Adalbert von Ballenstedt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

NN (possibly Adalbert (?); * Around 970) was Count von Ballenstedt and Vogt of the Nienburg monastery and the Hagenrode provost . He is the first proven ancestor of the Ascanians .

Life

His name is unknown. He was named after his grandson Adalbert also as Adalbert suspected but can do other things have been called. It is known that he was the father of Esiko , the first Ascanian known by name, in his marriage to Hidda, daughter of the margrave Hodo of the Saxon East Mark. This was related to a margrave Christian from the Gau Serimunt , from which possessions in this area and the bailiwick of Nienburg and Frose possibly came from the descendants of Esiko (?).

The Sachsenspiegel reported that NNs ( Adalbert's ) ancestors came with the immigration of Swabian tribes around 568 to the area on the Lower Harz, the so-called Schwabengau , and settled there.
