INDEX

[11291] From "The Weekly Genealogist, Vol. 13, No. 43", published by the NEHGS: Name Origins, by Julie Helen Otto: "LOUIS (m): This name, originally the Frankish CHLODOWEG, was introduced to what is now France by the Franks in the very early Middle Ages. It evolved into one of the most popular French male names, used at every level of society, perhaps most famously by the Bourbon kings: Louis XIII, "the Just" (1601-1643, king from 1610); his son Louis XIV, 'le Grand' (1638-1715, king from 1643, whose long reign practically made the given name a royal institution); his grandson Louis XV (1710-1774, king from 1715), and Louis XV's grandson, Louis XVI (1754-1793, king from 1774)."

INDEX

[797] {Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1956 Ed., 20:33 states:} Ludolph (Liudolf) was appointed about 850 by King Louis "the German" as margrave to defend the `Limes Saxoniae' (a narrow strip of land on the eastern frontier) against the Slavs. Ludolph vigorously fought the Slavs and extended the frontier and his own influence. {-This source states he died in 866.} He was
succeeded by his son Bruno who was killed fighting the Normans in 880; the second son, Otto the Illustrious, then succeeded and was recognized Duke of Saxony by King Conrad I. "The Carolingians," Pierre Riché (Philadelpha: U of PA Press, 1993), Table 3, reports he also had Hathumonda (d. 875; Abbess of Gandersheim), Bruno (d. 800; Duke of Saxony), Gerberga (Abbess of Gandersheim) and Christina (d. 919; Abbess of Gandersheim).
