Nota

http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ALSACE.htm Use of the names Hugo an d Eberhard suggest that the Grafen im Nordgau were descended from th e family of the Dukes in Alsace (Chapter 1) but the precise descent ha s not been traced in the primary sources which have so far been consul ted in the preparation of this document. The use of the name "Matfried " in this family during the later 10th and early 11th centuries sugges ts a connection with the "Matfriedinger" family who were counts of Met z and, later, dukes of Upper Lotharingia. An indication that this ma y be correct is found in the reference in the Annalista Saxo to Brun o von Egisheim being "Conradi imperatoris consobrinus" when recordin g his election as Pope Leo IX [1], Emperor Konrad's mother being the s ister of Gerhard and Adalbert Counts of Metz [Matfriedinger]. Too litt le information is known about the wives of the Nordgau counts to specu late sensibly about where the connection might be. EBERHARD [III] (-a fter 898).
