Research Notes:
"Bertam, Willam, Richildam et Gislam" are named (in order) as the four daughters of Boso and Willa by Liudprand. Willa is named "rex Hugo neptim suam
ex Willa uxore sua Boso Tusciĉ provinciĉ marchio regis frater" by Liudprand when he records her marriage to Berengario. She ordered the imprisonment of Adelheid, widow of her husband's predecessor Lothaire [de Provence] King of Italy. She retreated with her husband to the fortress of San Leo in the face of Otto King of Germany's invasion, but was captured and taken to Bamberg with Berengario. Regino records that Willa became a nun after her husband died before he was buried. 1
