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
  6. Louis IV 'd'Outremer', King of France 936-945 - Gerberga von Sachsen
  7. Charles, Duc de Lorraine - Adela
  8. Ermengarde|Aleide de Lorraine - Albert I, Comte de Namur
  9. Hadwide de Namur - Gerhard, Duke of Upper-Lorraine
  10. Thierry II, Duke of Lorraine 1070-1115 - Hedwig, Gräfin von Formbach
  11. Simon I, Duke of Lorraine 1115-1138 - Adelheid de Louvain
  12. Bertha de Lorraine - Hermann III 'der Grosse', Herr von Baden und Lintburg, Markgraf of Verona
  13. Hermann IV, Markgraf von Baden und Verona - Bertha (von Tübingen)
  14. Hermann V, Markgraf von Baden, Verona zu Hachberg - Irmengard am Rhein
  15. Mathilde von Baden, Heiress of Stuttgart - Ulrich I 'the Founder', Graf von Württemberg
This descent is thru "Henry the Lion" who descended from Gisla de France, a daughter of "Louis the Pious" from his second marriage.


  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. Gisla de France - Eberhard I, Margrave of Friaul
  4. Berengar I, Holy Roman Emperor (915-924), Margrave of Friaul - Bertila of Spoleto
  5. Gisela of Friaul - Adalbert 'the Rich', Margrave of Ivrea
  6. Berengar II, King of Italy - Willa of Tuscany
  7. Susanna 'Rozala' of Italy - Arnulf II, Graaf van Vlaanderen 973-987
  8. Baudouin IV, Graaf van Vlaanderen 987-1035 - Eleanor|Ainor|Judith of Normandy
  9. Judith van Vlaanderen - Welf IV, Herzog von Bayern 1070-1101
  10. Heinrich 'the Black', Herzog von Bayern 1120-1126 - Wulfhild von Sachsen
  11. Heinrich 'the Proud', Herzog von Bayern 1126-1139 und Sachsen 1136-1139 - Gertrud von Süpplinburg
  12. Heinrich 'the Lion', Herzog von Sachsen 1142-1195 und Bayern 1154-1195 - Matilda of England
  13. Heinrich I, Pfalzgraf am Rhein 1195-1227 - Agnes von Hohenstaufen
  14. Irmengard am Rhein - Hermann V, Markgraf von Baden, Verona zu Hachberg
  15. Mathilde von Baden, Heiress of Stuttgart - Ulrich I 'the Founder', Graf von Württemberg
As for the descent of Agnes (2nd marriage) of Ulrich, we can trace 2 descents with the shortest route. This marriage would produce the male lines that survived until the modern times.
  1. Charlemagne, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire 800-814 - Hildegardis

  16. Hedwig von Anhalt - Boleslaw II von Schlesien, Herzog von Liegnitz
  17. Agnes von Schlesien-Liegnitz - Ulrich I 'the Founder', Graf von Württemberg


  1. Charlemagne, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire 800-814 - Hildegardis
  2. Louis I 'the Pious', Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire 814-840 - Irmingard|Ermengard
  3. Lothar I, Holy Roman Emperor (823-855), King of Lotharingia - Irmgard de Tours
  4. Irmingard|Irmgard - Giselbert, Count in Maasgau
  5. Reginar I, Duke of Lorraine, Count in Hainault - Alberade

The Golem (Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam) [1920]

Silent movie eto. Ang mga hudyo na naninirahan sa ghetto ay gustong palayasin ng emperor sa siyudad. Binuhay ni Rabbi Loew si Golem na isang nilalang na gawa sa clay, para maipagtanggol sila sa pamamagitan ng black magic. Nailigtas ni Golem sa kapahamakan ang Emperador kaya bilang ganti ay di na sila pinalayas. Dahil nga galing sa kadiliman ang pagbuhay ke Golem eto ay mahirap pasunurin at naging pasaway sa kanyang amo na si Rabbi, na muntik na ikapahamak ng kanyang anak na si Miriam. Sa huli nabalik sa kanyang dating kalikasan si Golem bilang clay.

6 stars ang binigay ko rito.
