  === Life Sketch ===
  Conrad I, called the Peaceful (German: Conrad le Pacifique; c.? 925-19 October 993), a member of the Elder House of Welf, was King of Burgundy (Kingdom of Arles) from 937 until his death.
  
  «b»Life«/b»
  He was the son of King Rudolph II, the first ruler over the united territories of Upper and Lower Burgundy since 933, and his consort Bertha, a daughter of Duke Burchard II of Swabia. Some sources call him Conrad III, since he was the third Conrad in his family: his great-grandfather was Duke Conrad II, whose father was Count Conrad I.
  
  According the chronicler Ekkehard IV, in a story that is probably apocryphal, when Conrad learned that both the Magyars and the Saracens of Fraxinetum were marching against him, he sent envoys to both armies warning them of the other. The envoys offered Burgundian aid to each invader against the other and then informed them of the other's whereabouts. When the Magyars and Saracens met, the Burgundians held back and only attacked when the opposing forces were spent. In this way, both invading armies were destroyed and the captives sold into slavery.
  
  He married firstly, Adelaide of Bellay. They were parents to at least one daughter:
  
  1.) Gisela (-21 July 1006), married Henry II, Duke of Bavaria
  
  He married Matilda by 966, daughter of Louis IV of France and Gerberga of Saxony. They had at least four children:
  
  1.) Bertha (964-16 January 1016), married Odo I, Count of Blois, and then Robert II of France
  
  2.) Matilda (born 969), possibly married Robert, Count of Geneva
  
  3.) Rudolph (971-6 September 1032)
  
  4.) Gerberga (born 965), married Herman II, Duke of Swabia
  
  By his concubine, Aldiud, he had a son:
  
  1.) Burchard, Archbishop of Lyons

   Note: CONRAD, son of RUDOLF II King of Upper Burgundy & his wife Berta of Swabia ([922/25]-Vienne 19 Oct 993, bur Vienne, cathédrale Saint-Maurice). He is named "Chuonradus rex filio Rodulfi" in his charter dated 23 Apr 943[156]. He succeeded his father in 937 as CONRAD I "le Pacifique" King of Burgundy. “Chunradus...rex” confirmed that “Hugo comes consanguineus noster” donated “Tusciaco villa, in pago Lugdunense" to Cluny by charter dated 23 Apr 943 (“anno sexto regnante domno Chuonrado rege filio Rodulfi”)[157]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records the death "XIV Kal Nov" of "regis Conradi" and his burial at Vienne[158]. m firstly ([950/55?]) ADELA, daughter of --- ([935/40?]-[23 Mar 963/[964]). "Chuonradus rex" donated “Crottas” to Cluny, for the souls of “nostræ...Adelane...reginæ et infantum nostrorum”, dated 23 Mar 963[159]. The wording of this charter suggests that Adela was alive at that date, but she must have died soon afterwards considering the likely date of her husband’s second marriage. Her absence from her husband’s charter dated 8 Apr 962[160] suggests her marriage after that date, but that is impossible considering that likely birth date of her daughter Gisela. Adela’s birth date range is estimated based on Gisela’s estimated birth date range. Her origin is not known. Carutti names her “figlia di uno dei grandi del regno” (no source cited)[161]. Jackman suggests that she was the sister of "Konrad Duke of Alsace"[162]. m secondly ([964]) MATHILDE de France, daughter of LOUIS IV "d'Outremer" King of the Franks & his wife Gerberga of Germany (end-943-26/27 Jan [981/992], bur Vienne, cathédrale Saint-Maurice). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the marriage of "rex Francorum Lotharius…sororem suam Mathildem" and "Conradus rex Burgundie"[163]. "Mathilde et Alberada" are named as daughters of "Gerberga" in the Continuator of Flodoard, which specifies that Mathilde was mother of "Rodulfus rex et Mathildis soror eius"[164]. Her brother, Lothaire King of the West Franks, arranged this marriage to strengthen his position in south-eastern France. Her dowry consisted of the counties of Lyon and Vienne[165]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records the death "VI Kal Dec" of "Mathildis uxor regis Conradi" and her burial at Vienne[166]. Mistress (1): ([965/70]) ALDIUD, wife of ANSELM, daughter of ---. The identity of King Conrad´s mistress is ascertained as follows. Firstly, as noted below, the Chronicon Hugonis names the king´s illegitimate son, archbishop of Lyon, as "Burchardus, Rodulfi regis frater, Conradi ex concubina filius"[167]. Secondly, Burchard´s mother´s name is confirmed as Aldiud by a charter dated 14 Feb 1005, which records that her son "Burchardum Lugdunensem archiepiscopum" donated property "in loco Oponlongis infra comitatum Ottingen" which he had "ex patre matris suæ Aldiud quod rex Chuonradus ei præbuit" to Anselm Bishop of Aosta[168]. Thirdly, the name of the father of Anselm Bishop of Aosta is confirmed as Anselm in the charter of Rudolf III King of Burgundy for Romainmotier dated [1001/02], which was witnessed by "…Anselmus episcopus Augustensis…Anselmus pater Anselmi episcopi…"[169]. Fourthly, a charter dated 1 Nov 1002, noted by Rivaz in his compiled index of Burgundian charters, confirms that Anselm Bishop of Aosta and Burchard Archbishop of Lyon were brothers: "Burchard archévêque de Lyon et abbé de Saint-Maurice" granted property "dans les comtés de Valais et de Vaud" to "Gauslin", with the consent of "Anselme son frère évêque d'Aoste et prévôt de ladite abbaye"[170]. Fifthly, Anselm and Aldiud were also parents of Burchard Archbishop of Vienne and Udalrich his advocatus, as shown by a charter dated 19 Aug [1019] of "Burchardus sancta Viennensis archiepiscopus et Udolricus frater meus et advocatus meus" which granted property "in pago Genevensi…in villa Marischa…a circio Lemani lacus" made "pro remedio animarum…genitore nostro Anselmo sive pro genetrice nostra Aaldui"[171]. The conclusion therefore is that the only way in which Burchard Archbishop of Lyon could have been the brother of the three brothers Anselm, Burchard and Odalric is if they shared the same mother, who gave birth to them by different fathers. Aldiud´s relationship with the early counts of Savoy is indicated by Rodolfus Glauber who describes Burchard, son of Count Humbert "aux Blanches Mains", as nepos of Aldiud's illegitimate son[172]. This relationship is explained by Count Humbert's wife being the legitimate daughter of Anselm and Aldiud. The Chronicon Hugonis specifies that Burchard was appointed archbishop (dated to 978) when still a child[173]. This presumably dates Aldiud´s relationship to the King Conrad to [965/70], which was probably before she married Anselm. King Conrad I & his first wife, Adela, had two [or more] children: 1. GISELA ([955/60]-21 Jul 1007). 2. CONRAD [Cuono/Cuno] (-after 10 Aug 966, maybe after 17 Apr 967). 3. [one or more other children . His/her/their existence is confirmed by the charter dated 23 Mar 963 under which [their father] "Chuonradus rex" donated “Crottas” to Cluny, for the souls of “nostræ...Adelane...reginæ et infantum nostrorum”[190]. It is not known whether there were more children than Gisela and Conrad/Cuono.] King Conrad I & his second wife had four children: 4. MATHILDE . 5. BERTHE de Bourgogne ([964/965]-16 Jan after 1010) 6. GERBERGA (-7 Jul 1018) 7. RUDOLF (-5/6 Sep 1032, bur Lausanne Cathedral). King Conrad I had one illegitimate son by Mistress (1): 8. BURCHARD ([965/70]-22 Jun 1030 or 1031).
