Remarks

  1. ↑ Annalista Saxo without giving any years, Thietmar von Merseburg does not mention him as a burgrave. So possibly only after 1018 = the end of the chronicle.
  2. ↑ Thietmar, Chronicle
  3. ↑ Thietmar, Chronicle
  4. ↑ Otherwise Thietmar would certainly have reported on the death of his brother.
