    Note: H. LANDGRAFEN von LEUCHTENBERG Leuchtenberg is located in the district of Neustadt in north-eastern Bavaria, about 30 kilometres east of Sulzbach, and is now a suburb of Weiden in der Oberpfalz close to the border with what is today the Czech Republic. In medieval times, it lay in the Bavarian Nordgau. 1. GEBHARD [I] von Leuchtenberg (-1146, bur Kloster Ensdorf). The Vita Ottonis records that Otto Bishop of Bamberg, on his way to Pomerania (dated to [1124]), dedicated the church of “illustri viro Gebehardo Waldekkensensi” and another church “Vohendrecetensem” after spending the night at Kloster Michelfeld[1457]. Another chronicle clarifies that these two churches consecrated were “unam in Luckenperge et aliam in Vohendrese”[1458], suggesting that Gebhard von Waldeck was the same person as Gebhard [I] von Leuchtenberg. “Fridericus advocatus, Gebehardus de Lukenberge, Gebehard de Rittenburc, Pertoldus de Scaminhobt, Udalricus de Steine, Gozpertus de Holinsteine, Werinherus de Labere, Altmannus de Siginburch, Meginhardus de Parchsteine, Erchinbertus de Altindorf...” witnessed the undated charter under which “Marchio Dietpaldus” donated property to Reichenbach monastery which was under construction[1459]. “Gebehardus de Lukenberge, Megenhardus de Phrime [Pfreimt]...” witnessed the undated charter under which “Marchio Dietpaldus” donated “predium...Denchilingen” to Reichenbach[1460]. Wittmann dates this charter to [1130][1461]. Wittmann states that “eine noch ungedrückte gleichzeitige Chronik des Kl. Schäftlarn” records the death of Gebhard [I] in 1146[1462]. A charter dated 4 Aug 1155 records that “Fridericus pater Palatine et domina Heilwic soror Palatine et Gebehardus maritus eius de Lewkenberge et filii illorum Fridericus et Gebehardus” were buried at Ensdorf[1463]. m HEILWIG von Pettendorf, daughter of [Graf] FRIEDRICH von Pettendorf & his wife [Heilika von Staufen] (-before [1166], bur Ensdorf). The Fundatio Monasterii Ensdorfensis names "domna Heilwic soror palatine" as wife of "Gebehardus…de Leukenberge" in connection with the foundation of Ensdorf[1464]. A charter dated 4 Aug 1155 records that “Fridericus pater Palatine et domina Heilwic soror Palatine et Gebehardus maritus eius de Lewkenberge et filii illorum Fridericus et Gebehardus” were buried at Ensdorf[1465]. A charter dated to [1166] records that “Marqwardo de Lewgenberge” donated “predium Wartberch” to Ensdorf for the funeral of “matris sue Heylwic”, refers to earlier donations for the funerals of “mariti sui Gebehardi...Friderici filii sui”, and records that “Gebehardus...frater eius” donated property in memory of Marquard who died “in expeditione Friderici Imperatoris apud Longobardos”[1466]. Gebhard [I] & his wife had [four] children: a) FRIEDRICH [I] von Leuchtenberg (-[1150], bur Ensdorf). b) [GEBHARD (-before 4 Aug 1155). c) GEBHARD [II] von Leuchtenberg (-after 28 Jun 1168, bur Ensdorf). d) MARKWARD von Leuchtenberg (-killed in battle Italy [Summer 1167]).
