Life
There is little historical information about her life. The year of birth has not been passed down, it was approximately after 1055. Her father died in 1067, the mother Adele von Brabant married Margrave Dedo I of Lusatia in 1069 .
It is believed that her first marriage was to Yaropolk of Volhynia and Turov . There is no historical news about it. (She was married to a prince of the Kievan Rus , a name is not mentioned. Yaropolk is an assumption of more recent Russian historical research, in older literature Igor Yaroslavich was assumed.) Yaropolk is depicted in 1075 with a wife who would have to be married have been closed before that. In 1078 Jaropolk returned to Russia and became Prince of Volhynia and Turow. He was murdered in 1086/87.
A daughter presumably comes from this marriage:
- Mechthilde von Beichlingen; Wife of Count Günther, probably from the Sizzonen / Kevernburger family . The common son is assumed to be Friedrich von Beichlingen , who is considered the progenitor of the Counts of Beichlingen .
Around 1088 Kunigunde married Count Kuno von Northeim . She had several children with him:
- Mathilde von Beichlingen; Wife of Heinrich I , Count von Zütphen ;
- Adele von Beichlingen, wife of Dietrich III. , Count of Katlenburg , second marriage to Helferich , Count of Plötzkau ;
- Liutgard von Beichlingen, wife of Wilhelm I , Count of Luxembourg;
- Kunigunde von Beichlingen, wife of Wiprecht III. , Count von Groitzsch , in second marriage Diepold III. , Margrave of Vohburg.
Kunigunde received the county of Beichlingen as a dowry . There she founded the Benedictine monastery Oldisleben in 1089 , which later became the burial place of the Counts of Beichlingen .
In 1103 Kuno was also murdered. In 1110 she married Wiprecht II von Groitzsch . Nothing is known about offspring.
It was mentioned for the last time on March 20, 1117. The date of her death is unknown.
