The House of Württemberg

From Leo's page the progenitor of this house is one called Ulrich I 'the Founder', Graf von Württemberg, he would marry first Mathilde von Baden, Heiress of Stuttgart and secondly to Agnes von Schlesien-Liegnitz who happens to be both direct descendants of Charlemagne.


On the first marriage, the male line would died out immediately after the son didn't marry but would continue on the female line. Here's the descents of Mathilde, we can trace more than 2 descents but below are the shortest.


  1. Charlemagne, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire 800-814 - Hildegardis
  2. Louis I 'the Pious', Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire 814-840 - Judith
  3. Charles 'the Bald', Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire 875-877 - Ermentrudis of Orléans
  4. Louis II 'the Stammerer', King of West-France 877-879 - Adelheid
  5. Charles III 'the Simple', King of France 898-923 - Eadgifu of Wessex
