    Note: LIUTPOLD ([1020/25]-Ingelheim 9 Dec 1043, bur Trier). Herimannus names "Adalberto marchione et filio eius Liutpaldo" when recording their jointly leading part of the army to the southern Danube area in 1042[82]. His birth date range is estimated on the assumption that he was a young adult or late adolescent at this time. He was installed as Markgraf der Ungarischen Mark in Dec 1043 at Ingelheim[83]. Herimannus records his installation as marchio, but also his death a few days later[84]. The Chronicon of Bernold records the death in 1043 of "Liutpaldus Adalberti marchionis filius" at Ingelheim after the marriage of Heinrich III King of Germany and Agnes de Poitou[85]. The necrology of Melk records the death "V Id Dec" of "Liupoldus fortis mil fil Alberti marchionis"[86]. The first husband of Ida von "Elstorf", daughter of Liudolf Markgraf in Friesland [Braunschweig] & his wife Gertrud von Egisheim, is identified as Liutpold Markgraf der Ungarischen Mark in Europäischen Stammtafeln[87]. Presumably this is based firstly on the Annales Stadenses which name "Lippoldo filio domine Glismodis" as husband of "Ida [de Elsthorpe]"[88]. Married secondly on the Vita Meinwerci which names "Thiedericum, Meinwercum, Glismod et Azelam" as children of Immed and Athela, specifying that Glismod married "nobilis principis in Baioaria"[89], although there is no evidence linking the second with the first. The fact that Ida von Elstorf had children by her first husband, if correct, also indicates that that this co-identity cannot be right[90]. She married secondly Dedo Graf von Dietmarschen, and thirdly Etheler Graf von Dietmarschen. ***** [LIUTPOLD (-[before 1055]). The Annales Stadenses name "Lippoldo filio domine Glismodis" as husband of "Ida [de Elsthorpe]"[100]. Graf von Stade. It seems unlikely that Liutpold's mother was the same Glismod who was the daughter of Immed. As the Immed died in 983, as it is likely that his daughter's children would have been born [1000/15]. If Liutpold was one of these children, he would have been considerably older than his wife. m as her first husband, IDA von Elstorf, daughter of [LIUDOLF Markgraf in Friesland [Braunschweig] & his wife Gertrud von Egisheim] (-before 4 May 1082). The Annales Stadenses name "Ida nobilis femina de Suevia nata, in villa Elsthorpe" as daughter of "fratris imp. Heinrici III, filia sororis Leonis papa qui et Bruno"[101]. It is probable that Ida was the daughter of Liudolf, who is the only known [half-]brother of Emperor Heinrich III whose wife is not otherwise recorded in other primary sources. Elstorf is located west of Hamburg near Buxtehude, south-east of Stade. No other reference has been found in primary sources to Elstorf being linked to any medieval noble family. The significance of “von Elstorf” in this extract from the Annales Stadenses has not been ascertained. In particular it is not known whether it represents property held by Ida from her paternal or maternal family or through one of her husbands. The Annales Stadenses name "Lippoldo filio domine Glismodis" as husband of "Ida [de Elsthorpe]", specifying that they were parents of "Odam sanctimonialem de Rinthelen"[102].] Liutpold & his wife had two children: (1) ODA (-after 1052). The Annales Stadenses name "Odam sanctimonialem de Rinthelen" as daughter of "Lippoldo filio domine Glismodis" and "Ida [de Elsthorpe]", specifying that she married "regi Ruzie" by whom she had a son "Warteslaw", returned to Saxony with her son after her husband died, and there became the mother of "filiam Aliarinam, matrem comitis Burchardi de Lucken" who later killed "lantgravius Hermannus de Wincenburg", although a later passage specifies that Ida was mother of "Akarinam matrem Burchardi de Lucken"[103]. It has not been possible to verify all this information. Baumgarten identifies her first husband as Vladimir Iaroslavich[104]. The chronology of Oda, daughter of Ida von Elstorf, bearing a son by a husband who died in 1052 is difficult to sustain. It is suggested that Oda’s supposed first marriage should be viewed with considerable scepticism. [m firstly [VLADIMIR Iaroslavich, son of IAROSLAV I "Mudriy/the Wise" Grand Prince of Kiev & his [second] wife Ingigerd Olafsdottir of Sweden (1020-Novgorod 1052, bur Novgorod Church of St Sophia).] m [secondly] ---. (2) EKBERT (-murdered Wickstadt, near Elstorf [before 1082]). The Annales Stadenses records that Ida [von Elstorf] had "filium Ecbertum comitem" who was killed by "primus Udo marchio...cognatus suus" at “Wistede prope Elstorpe”, adding that Ida found herself without heirs (“orbata heredibus”), visited “avunculum suum papam Leonem” (therefore before Apr 1054), and following his recommendation adopted “ipsum Udonem” as her son and appointed him as her heir (listing properties which she granted him during her lifetime), a later passage clarifying that “predictum Udonem marchionem primum” was Ida’s successor after she died (“Ida ergo mortua...”)[105]. This text presents chronological difficulties. A literal interpretation of “primus Udo marchio” would indicate Lothar Udo [II] Graf von Stade (see the document SAXONY NOBILITY), who succeeded as Markgraf der Nordmark in 1056 and died the following year so could not have been appointed by Ida as her heir. Presumably therefore his son Lothar Udo [III], who succeeded his father as Lothar Udo II Markgraf der Nordmark and died in 1082, was intended. However, that interpretation is inconsistent with Ida von Elstorf taking advice from her uncle Pope Leo IX (who died in Apr 1054). That part of the report must be factually incorrect, the only safe conclusion being that Ekbert predeceased his mother some time before 1082. The appointment by Ekbert’s mother of his killer as her heir suggests that the killing was accidental.
