Luitpold, Margrave of Austria

  • Pedigree
Commentary
According to Charles Cawley, "The origin of Liutpold is unknown. According to early tradition, he was descended from the "alte Babenberger" family ... accounting for the later attribution of this name to the dynasty. This descent does not appear to have been based on any primary source proof. More recently, it has been suggested that Markgraf Liutpold was the son of Arnulf Duke of Bavaria [Liutpoldinger] but this theory appears to be based solely on onomastics. In fact, there are few typically "Liutpoldinger" names among Markgraf Liutpold's children, in particular Eberhard, Berthold and Arnulf are absent. Reuter says that Markgraf Luitpold was "related both to the Liutpoldinger and indirectly to the Babenberger" but the basis for this statement is not known. His birth date is estimated on the basis that he was a young adult when installed as Markgraf." His birthdate is estimated as between 950 and 955. Arnulf, Duke of Bavaria died in 937.
