  Original text from the Wikipedia article on Billung:
  
  "Billung ist der legendäre Stammvater des sächsischen Adelsgeschlechtes der Billunger. Zum 26. Mai findet sich im Nekrolog der Kirche St. Michael in Lüneburg der Gedenkeintrag für einen an diesem Tag verstorbenen Grafen Billing. Weitere Nachrichten über ihn sind nicht überliefert. Erstmals in der zwischen 1229 und 1233 entstandenen Hauschronik des Klosters St. Michael in Lüneburg heißt es dann, ein Graf Billing sei der Vater Hermann Billungs gewesen. Der angebliche Stammvater der Billunger ist nicht zu verwechseln mit dem in der Zeit von 937–966 bezeugten sächsischen Grafen Billing."

   Note: Billung (or Billing ) (* around 880; † May 26 ) is the legendary progenitor of the Saxon noble family of Billunger . On May 26, the obituary of the Church of St. Michael in Lüneburg contains a commemorative entry for a Count Billing who died on that day. No other news about him has survived. For the first time in the house chronicle of the monastery of St. Michael in Lüneburg, which was created between 1229 and 1233, it was said that Hermann Billungs ' father was a Count Billing. [1] The alleged progenitor of the Billungers should not be confused with the Saxon Count Billing , who was attested in the period 937-966 .

   Note: Billung Dynasty Hermann Billung Current region Saxony Founded 9th century Founder Count Wichmann Connected families Welf and Ascania dynasties Estate(s) Billung March Dissolution 12th century The House of Billung was a dynasty of Saxon noblemen in the 9th through 12th centuries. The first known member of the house was Count Wichmann, mentioned as a Billung in 811. Oda, the wife of Count Liudolf, oldest known member of the Liudolfing House, was also a Billung as was Matilda of Ringelheim. In the 10th century, the property of the family was centered in the Bardengau around Lüneburg and they controlled the march named after them. In the middle of the 10th century, when the Saxon dukes of the House of Liudolfing had also become German kings, King Otto the Great entrusted more and more of his ducal authority to Hermann Billung. For five generations, the House of Billung ruled the Duchy of Saxony. The house submerged into the Welf and Ascania dynasties when Duke Magnus died in 1106 without sons; the family's property was divided between his two daughters. His daughter Wulfhilde married Henry IX, Duke of Bavaria, a member of the House of Welf; his daughter Eilika married Otto, Count of Ballenstedt, a member of the House of Ascania. As a consequence, for the following decades control of Saxony was contested between the Welfs and Ascanians. The Billung dukes of Saxony were: Hermann, died 973 Bernard I, died 1011 Bernard II, died 1059 Ordulf, died 1072 Magnus, died 1106
