Thiadrich

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Entry Thiadrichs as Theotirih in a group entry of the Ottonian royal family and their most important helpers from 929 in the Reichenau Fraternization Book , Zurich, Central Library, Rh. Hist. 27, pag. 63 (second to last column, lower half next to the entry Kerburg )

Thiadrich , also Dietrich († after 929) from the group of relatives of the descendants of Widukind, was a Saxon great and father of Queen Mathilde , second wife of the East Franconian King Heinrich I.

Thiadrich was the son of Mathilde, later abbess of Herford Monastery . The father's name is unknown. After a remark by Widukind from Corvey , Thiadrich was a descendant of the "Saxon Duke" Widukind and married to Reginhild. Depending on the reading of this Widukindstelle, Thiadrich had three brothers or sons named Reginbern, Widukind and Immed. In addition to Mathilde, Bia, Amalrada, Peretheid and Fridarun are considered his daughters. In addition, a number of people are discussed as Thiadrich's children. Based on an entry in the younger Mathildenvita from around 1002, a glorifying biography of his daughter Mathilde, county rights are assumed in Westphalia. In it Dietrich is referred to as "Graf im Westen" ( in occidentali regione comes fuerat gloriosus ). Due to living entries in the fraternization books of Reichenau Abbey and St. Gallen Monastery from the year 929, Thiadrich can only have died afterwards.

The Denomination of Origin of Ringelheim , which can still be found today, probably comes from a collecting attribution in the lost Cronica Saxonum. However, the cronica was not created until around 1300. Excerpts of it have been handed down to Heinrich von Herford . According to Georg Waitz from 1885, there was no connection between Thiadrich and Ringelheim .
