RESEARCH NOTES: Erbin v Reichlingen [Ref: ES VIII #132, ES I.1 #144] Regarding the correction to ES I.1 #13B, making her a daughter of Wilhelm IV: The correction is simply mistaken as far as I can tell - for the relevant genealogy, accepted without question by thorough historians such as Karl-Heinz Lange [in 'Die Grafen von Northeim (950-1144), dissertation, 2 vols, Kiel 1958], see Annalista Saxo (MGH SS VI, p. 693): "[Otto de Orlagemunde] Habuit autem uxorem nomine Adhelam de Brabantia, ex castello quod Lovene dicitur, que peperit ei tres filias, Odam, Cunigundam, Adhelheidam...Cunigunda nupsit regi Ruzorum, genuitque filiam quam nobilis quidam de Thuringia Gunterus nomine accepit, genuitque ex illa Sizzonem comitem. Post cuius mortem reversa in patriam, coniuncta est Cononi comiti de Bichlingge, filio ducis Ottonis de Northeim, genuitque illi quatuor filias. Quo item defuncto, Wipertus senior tercius eam desponsavit." (Otto of Orlam�unde's wife was Adela of Brabant, from the castle called Louvain, who bore him three daughters, Oda, Kunigunde and Adelaide...Kunigunde married a king of the Russians and had a daughter married to a Thuringian noble named G�unther [count of Schwarzburg] who with her fathered Count Sizzo. After whose [Jaropolk's] death she [Kunigunde] returned to her homeland and married Kuno, count of Beichlingen [Kunigunde's own inheritance], son of Duke Otto of Northeim, bearing him four daughters. On his death she was married to a third husband, the elder Wiprecht). According to Lange, Kunigunde had other children by her first husband, Jaropolk (murdered on 22 November in 1086 or 1087) - as well as the daughter of unknown name (sometimes called Mechtilde) who married as above, there were probably two sons, Jaroslav and Vyachelsav, and perhaps a daughter Anastasia who stayed behind in Russia. The remarriage to Kuno of Northeim happened quickly after Kunigunde was widowed and returned to Germany: he was murdered in turn in November/December 1103 (she must have been a jinx), and in 1110 at the age of 50 she was forced by political machinations into a third marriage, to Wiprecht II (not I, his father) of Groitzsch, who died on 22 May 1124. Kunigunde herself died on 8 June 1140. ES seems to agree with most of this, but the revision contradicting a generally reliable source for Kunigunde's parentage seems unaccountable.
