http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/BRANDENBURG,%20PRUSSIA.htm [OTHELINDI S (-in Saxony 9 Mar [1043/44], bur in Saxony). The ''Annales Egmundani '' name "Othelhildis comitissa" as wife of "Theodericus comes quartu s [Hollandensium]" but do not give her origin [1]. According to ''Euro päische Stammtafeln'' [2], the wife of Count Dirk III was the daughte r of Bernhard I Markgraf der Nordmark Graf von Haldensleben, but the p rimary source on which this is based has not so far been identified. T he ''Chronologia Johannes de Beke'' records the marriage of "Theoderic us… tercius… comes Hollandie" and "Utilhildim filiam…ducis Saxon ie" [3]. The corresponding duke of Saxony would have been the Billun g Duke Bernhard I (who died in 1011). However, if Duke Bernhard was Ot helindis's father, the wife of Count Dirk III's son Count Floris woul d have been his first cousin on his mother's side, which seems unlikel y to be correct. "Theodericus… Holtlandensis comes… Florentii fili us" recites the ownership history of properties claimed by the churc h of Utrecht in Holland, including donations by "Theodericus tertius , predicti Arnulfi filius, cum coniuge sua Othelhildis", by spurious c harter dated 26 Jul 1083, probably written in [1130] [4]. The ''Annale s Egmundani'' record the death in 1044 of "Othilhildis comitissa" [5] . The ''Chronologia Johannes de Beke'' records that "Othilhildis… co mitissa" returned to Saxony after her husband died, and that she die d there "1043 VII Id Mai" and was buried there [6]. ''Beke's Egmondsc h Necrologium'' records the death "1043 VII Id Mar" of "Othelhildis co mitissa rediens ad Saxoniam" [7]. [1] ''Annales Egmundani'', MGH SS X VI, p. 444. [2] ES II 2. [3] Bruch, H.
