    • He was the son of Rudolph II, Roi de Jurane Bourgogne. He married, secondly, Adelaide of Bellay. He married, firstly, Mathilde de France, daughter of Louis IV d'Outre-Mer, Roi de France and Gerberge von Sachsen, in 964.

      Conrad, Roi de Jurane Bourgogne also went by the nick-name of Conrad 'the Pacific'. He gained the title of Roi Conrad de Jurane Bourgogne in 937.

      Conrad the Peaceful (c. 925 - 19 October 993) was the king of Burgundy from 937 until his death. He was the son of King Rudolph II, the first king of a united Burgundy and Bertha of Swabia. Conrad is sometimes numbered Conrad I as king of Burgundy and as Conrad III of Provence, since he inherited Provence in 948.

      His reign was peaceful (hence his byname) and he was popular with his subjects. The only war in which he got involved was a simultaneous invasion of Saracens and Magyars in which he played them off against each other. He then routed them in combat.

      He married Matilda, daughter of Louis IV of France and Gerberga of Saxony. They had at least four children:

      Bertha (967 - 16 January 1016), married Odo I, Count of Blois, and then Robert II of France
      Matilda (born 969), possibly married Robert, Count of Geneva
      Rudolph (971 - 6 September 1032)
      Gerberga (born 965), married Herman II, Duke of Swabia

      He was secondly married to Adelaide of Bellay. They were parents to at least one daughter:

      Gisela (975 - 21 July 1006), married Henry II, Duke of Bavaria
