opi"[553]. The Liber Memorialis of Remiremont records the death "Non Mar" of "Lantsquent"[554]. Matfried & his wife had three children:
a) ADALBERT (-killed in battle 27 Jan or 10 Feb 944). The Vita of Johannes von Gorze names "[Adelbert] cum fratris Bernuini Virdunensis episcopi"[555]. Regino records that "Adalbertus comes filius Matfridi" was killed in 944 by "Uodone"[556]. Graf [von Metz]. m as her first husband, LIUTGARDE, daughter of WIGERICH [III] Graf im Bidgau & his wife Cunegundis --- (-after 4 Aug 960). "Liutgardis" donated property "in comitatu Nithegowe cui Godefridus comes" inherited from "parentibus meis Wigerico et Cunegunda" to St Maximin at Trier "pro remedio…parentum meorum, seniorum quoque meorum Alberti et Everhardi vel filiorum meorum" by charter dated 8 Apr 960[557]. A more precise indication of the parentage of Liutgarde's two husbands has not yet been identified. She married secondly [Eberhard [IV] Graf im Nordgau] [Egisheim]. Eberhard [IV] Graf im Nordgau is shown as Liutgarde's second husband in Poull[558] and Europäische Stammtafeln[559]. Rösch[560] is more cautious, referring to Liutgarde's second husband as "Eberhard" without citing his origin. Wegener[561] assumes that the wording of the 960 charter means that "Alberti et Everhardi" were Liutgard's successive husbands and that both were deceased at the date of the charter, although this is not necessarily the only interpretation of the text. He argues that Liutgarde's second husband could not therefore have been Eberhard [IV] Graf im Nordgau, who died in [972/73], and suggests that "Eberhard" was Eberhard Duke of Bavaria [Liutpoldinger]. However, as the last reference to Duke Eberhard is in 938, this would mean that he was Luitgarde's first husband, which appears unlikely if the order of the names of her two husbands in the charter was chronological. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines provides some interesting corroboration for Liutgarde's marriage to Graf Eberhard [IV] by recording "comes Hugo de Daburg, pater sancti Leonis pape" as "consobrinus" of "imperator Conradus"[562]. If Liutgarde's two marriages were as shown here, Hugo [IX] Graf von Egisheim was second cousin once removed of Emperor Konrad, the emperor being the great-grandson of Liutgarde by her first marriage, and Hugo her grandson by her first marriage. Adalbert & his wife had two children
