The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Willehelmus marchio, Otto et Poppo" as the three sons of "Willehelmus comes de Wimmare", when recording the former's appointment as Markgraf von Meissen. The Annalista Saxo says in one passage that Otto was "matrimonio inpari, matre scilicet Slavica, natus" but elsewhere that Oda (mother of "Dedo iunior") was "mater Ottonis de Orlagemunde".
