Notes:

Henry I (of Germany), called Henry The Fowler (876?-936), king of Germany (919-936), the first of the Saxon line of German kings. In 912 Henry succeeded his father as duke of Saxony. Following the death of Conrad I, king of Germany, in 918, Henry was chosen king by the Franconian and Saxon nobles. Bavaria, Swabia, and Lotharingia refused to acknowledge him at first, and it was not until 925 that he managed to win recognition from all the German states. In 926 Henry secured a nine-year truce from warfare with the Magyars. During that period he transformed many of the small towns of Germany into fortified cities with trained troops of mounted warriors. His military preparations were successfully tested in a war against the Wends in 929. When the Magyars invaded Th?ringen in 933, Henry repulsed them decisively. He defeated the Danes in the following year and seized territory from them. Henry was the first to create a united Germany, and, although he never received the imperial crown, he is generally recognized as one of the Holy Roman emperors. He was succeeded by his son, Otto.

Henry married Mathilda Von RINGELHEIM, Countess Of Ringelheim in 909 in Wallhausen. Mathilda (daughter of Count Dietrich Of SAXON, Hamelant Ringelheim and Reginhilde Von FRIESLAND) was born about 878 in Ringelheim, Goslar, Hannover, Germany; died on 14 May 968 in Membleben, Saxony, Germany.

Notes:

Liudolf is not attested as Ecbert's son, and he was probably not. He is probably identical to Liudolf, brother of Ecbert and son of Cobbo, that E. Hlawitchka think to be Cobbo II, grandson of Ecbert, but that I suppose to be Cobbo I, son of Ecbert. For that matter, Liudolf was probably born c. 805 : he died is in 866, and his wife was born in 806 (she died in 913 at 107!).

Liudolf married Oda Of SAXONY. Oda (daughter of Billing Of SAXONY and Aeda) was born in 806 in Saxony, Germany; died in 913. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
