Konrad I, Duke of Swabia - Greybeard's Ghosts

Commentary

Charles Cawley: "Considerable controversy surrounds the paternity of these children. Graf Konrad son of Gebhard (died 982) and Graf Udo son of Gebhard (died 949) have both been proposed as their father, Jackman being the principal proponent of the former while Hlavitschka has written extensively in support of the latter. It is unnecessary to repeat the detailed arguments in support of each case, as they are fully set out elsewhere, and particularly because each has appeal and neither is obviously preferable. From a purely chronological point of view, the estimated birth date range of the daughter Judith does suggest more difficulty in sustaining the argument in favour of Graf Konrad being their father. The introduction of the name Heribert into the family suggests a strong family connection between these four siblings and the Vermandois family. ... it is suspected that the wives of Gebhard (died 949) and Udo son of Gebhard (also died 949) were daughters of Héribert I Comte de Vermandois. However, in neither case it is obvious that the four siblings shown below were descended from these sisters. In the case of Gebhard, it appears difficult that his known son Konrad could be identified with Konrad who succeeded as duke of Swabia in 983, and it is chronologically hard to sustain that they were the children of Gebhard's known son Konrad. In the case of Udo, his known son Udo was recorded as bishop of Strasbourg so could not be the same person as Udo who was killed in 982. All these reservations suggest that there may be a completely different explanation for the parentage of these four siblings from the two theories of Jackman and Hlavitschka."
