• Notes

  Ordulf (sometimes Otto) (c. 1022 – 28 March 1072) was the duke of Saxony from 1059, when he succeeded his father Bernard II, until his death. He was a member of the Billung family. His entire reign was occupied by wars with the Wends. He was allied with Denmark, which alliance he strengthened by marrying (1042) Wulfhild (24 May 1071), the daughter of King Olaf II. He had a second wife in Gertrude of Haldensleben, daughter of a Count Conrad, who was imprisoned in Mainz in 1076 and died 21 February 1116. By Wulfhild he had a son named Magnus who succeeded him. He had a son named Bernard by Gertrude who died of a fall from a horse at Lüneburg on 15 July in some unknown year. Ordulf himself is buried the church of Saint Michael at Lüneburg. (Wikipedia)
