Mathilde VON SAFFENBERG, Heiress of Rolduc (Rode)
- Born: Saffenberg, Mayschoß, Germany
- Married: 1136
- Died: 2 Jan 1145/6
Research Notes:
The Annales Rodenses record the marriage in 1136 of “Heinricus Walrami ducis filius” and “Mathilda...comitis Adolphi filia”. Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by a charter dated 1147 under which her husband confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Rolduc, among which his donation "in obitu…coniugis suæ dominæ Mathildis" which refers to donations by "socer eius", which are in turn recited earlier in the same document as donations of Adolf Graf von Saffenberg. This is supported by the charter dated 1171 under which her son "Henricus filius domini Henrici filii ducis Walerami de Lymburg" donated property, inherited by him and "sorore nostra domina Margareta ducissa de Lovanio…atque domino Godefrido marito eius duce de Lovanio", to Rolduc [Rode] abbey and names "domino Herimanno, avunculo nostro, comite de Saphinberg".
Heiress of Rolduc [Rode].
The Annales Rodenses record that “Mathildis...uxor Heinrici...Jutte filii et junioris Heinrici mater” died six years before her mother-in-law, noting in a later passage that “Mathildis” died “IV Non Jan” which appears from the context to refer to the same person. 1
