Waldrada (Wieldruth and Vendrie) of Worms [8008] ¹²⁹

  General Notes:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waldrada_of_Worms


Waldrada of Worms (801-?) was the second wife of Conrad II, Duke of Transjurane Burgundy. They had two known children, Adelaide of Auxerre and Rudolph I of Burgundy

She was first married to Robert III of Worms, in 819 in Wormgau, Germany. This marriage brougt in 820 a son, Robert IV the Strong . The marriage ended when Robert III died in 822.

Some say her father was Saint William of Gellone.

However, this may be unlikely. It is also unlikely that she is the wife of Conrad. While having been born supposedly between 790 and 801, she certainly could have been William's daughter, these dates are likely not accurate if she was also Conrad's wife. This is because her progeny with Conrad were born ca. 849 and 859, respectively. If these dates are accurate, then Waldrada had these children between the ages of 49 and 59 years old, at best. Given that menopause occurs in modern times between ages 45-55, it is possible that she was Adelaide's mother. Her being Rudolph's mother is more problematic.
What is more likely is that she and the wife of Conrad are two different people. One possible solution is that the Waldrada who married Conrad II and Robert III is the daughter of Waldrada, wife of Adrian, Count of Orléans (767-824), who may (key word) be the daughter of William of Gelone. This is all conjecture, however

Some have her as the daughter of Adrian (Hadrian) Count of Orleans (abt 750-824)

and his wife Waldrada (Waldrat) of Hornbach (abt 774-824).

The dates are right, but I am leaving her with Saint William until we find out more or better information on her.

I do not think she was married to Conrad, but am leaving him in as her husband for now.

Abbrev: chronological estimator
Note:
Chronological age estimator based on child's birthdate minus 20-25 years (for females), minus 30-35 years (for males) or minus a set # of years in those cases where an ancestor's birth date is known & a descendants' birth date is known (i.e. if five generations are known to have elapsed in a 150 year time interval, then the estimator is used for each generation, every 30 years). Also used for societies where children generally did not accede to kingships, etc., ascension date minus 30 years. Also used based on a known spousal birthdate, i.e. -2-4 years for females, +2-4 years for males.
