Giso V.
Giso V. (* around 1110; † 1137 ), Count in the Franconian Hessengau and Vogt of the Hasungen Monastery , was the only son of the Hessian Count Giso IV von Gudensberg and his wife Kunigunde von Bilstein and the last count from the house of the Gisonen .
After his father's death in March 1122, his mother administered the county of Gudensberg for her underage son, but the following year she married Count Heinrich Raspe I , the younger brother of Count and later Landgrave Ludwig I of Thuringia . As Giso V. 1137 on the Italian campaign of Emperor Lothar III. fell in the fight against the Normans of Roger II near Palestrina , his Hessian inheritance came through his mother and sister Hedwig von Gudensberg to Hedwig's husband, the Landgrave Ludwig I of Thuringia.
