    Notes 
    • Liutgard of Saxony (c. 845-17 November 885) was the wife and Queen of Louis the Younger, the Frankish King of Saxony and East Francia.

      She was born between 840 and 850, the daughter of Liudolf, Duke of the Eastern Saxons (b. 805-820, d. 12 March 866), and of Oda Billung (b. 805-806, d. 17 May 913).

      She married Louis the Younger - who had already been betrothed to a daughter of Count Adalhard - on 29 November 874 at Aschaffenburg. They had two children: Louis (877-879) and Hildegard (c. 879-after 899), who became a nun in Chiemsee, Bavaria.

      After her husband's death, she married in 882 Burchard I, Duke of Swabia (b. between 855 and 860 - d. 5 November 911). They had two children: Burchard II, Duke of Swabia (born 883-884, d. 28 April 926) and Udalrich von Schwaben (born between 884 and 885, died 30 September 885). Her daughter Dietpirch of Swabia (also known as Theoberga) married Hupald, Count of Dillingen (d. 909). Their children included Ulrich of Augsburg.

      Liutgard was especially noted for her strong will and political ambition.
