Settipani suggests that Nibelung [IV] was th e son of Nibelung [III] but the time span between the only mention o f the latter (in 818) and the last mention of the former (879) appear s too long for them to have been father and son. Nibelung [IV]'s birt h date range is estimated on the basis of his being active in servic e of the king in early adulthood in 843, and his last known mention i n 879. Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks granted propert y "in pago Otisioderinse seu Wastinense… curtem… Hermoldi super fl uvium Betus… villa… Villasallum" to "fidelis nostro… Nivelongo " by charter dated 843 [311]. A document issued by Charles II "le Chau ve" King of the West Franks dated Nov 853 names "Hugo, Gozso, Nivilung us" as missi in "Niverniso, Alciodriso, Avaliso" [312]. Comte in Vexin : Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks donated property "i n pago Vulcassino… Pontisaræ" to the abbey of Saint-Denis with th e consent of "Nivelongo comite", by charter dated 864 [313]. "Heccardu s comes" names "… Nivelongo atque Theoderico germano suo" among th e executors of his testamentary disposition dated to [Jan 876] [314] . Nibelung [IV]'s estimated birth date range as shown above is consist ent with his belonging to the same generation as Ekkehard and his brot hers, maybe their first cousin. Nibelung subscribed a charter of comt e Adelramm, maybe his son-in-law, dated 879 [315]. m ---. The name o f the wife of Nibelung [IV] is not known.] [311] RHGF VIII, p. 435 . .
