  Research Notes:

The Annales Einsidlenses record the death in 997 of "Chuonradus dux" and the succession of "Herimannus filius eius in ducatum". The Annalista Saxo (apparently incorrectly) records "Herimannum ducem" as son of "Udonis ducis, qui aput Calabriam cum multis occubuit, quando imperator Otto secundus contra Sarracenos pugnavit". The confusion may be due to Thietmar describing Duke Hermann as "matris meæ avunculi filius", without specifying which "avunculus" to whom this refers.

He was installed in 997 as HERMANN II Duke of Swabia. A majority of south-western magnates supported Duke Hermann's candidacy for the imperial throne in 1002 after the death of Emperor Otto III, but acknowledged the accession of Heinrich Duke of Bavaria as king of Germany in Oct 1002.

The necrology of Fulda records the death "1003 IV Non Mai" of "Herman dux". 1

  Marriage Information:

Hermann married Gerberga DE HAUTE-BOURGOGNE, daughter of Conrad I "le Pacifique" DE HAUTE-BOURGOGNE, King of Upper Burgundy, and Mathilde CAROLING, about 986. (Gerberga DE HAUTE-BOURGOGNE was born in Bourgogne, France and died on 7 Jul 1018.)
