Commentary
There is much confusion over Hedwig's parentage. This from 'Ancestral Roots' (Weis): "Charlemagne & His World (Heer), p. 226, shows Otto's wife as dau. (illeg.) of Arnulf, King of Germany, & Oda of Bavaria; Arnulf was son of Carloman, King of Bavaria & Litwinde; Carloman was son of Louis II "the German", King of the East Franks and Emma of Bavaria. See Brandenburg for Arnulf's ancestry; however, Brandenburg shows no such dau. for Arnulf. Isenburg shows Hedwig as dau. of Henrich, d. 886, Markgraf of the Netherlands. Saillot says Otto's wife was Hedwig, dau. of Henri, Comte de la Marche. Moriarty says Hedwig d. 24 Dec. 903, does not identify parents."
Baldwin says Heinrich, Marquis of Neustia is a possible father. Cawley shows HEINRICH dux [Babenberg] & his wife Engeltrudis
