Godila VON ROTHENBURG
- Born: Rothenburg, Hesse, Germany
- Married (1):
- Married (2): 1007
- Died: 1015
Research Notes:
Thietmar names a "nobly born woman from the West…Godila" as wife of Lothar, naming her father Werner and specifying that her cousin was Wicfrid Bishop of Verdun. Thietmar records that Godila remained unmarried for four years after her husband died then married secondly "her relative Hermann". Godila's second husband has been identified as Hermann [II] Graf von Werl. If this is correct she must have been his second wife as Thietmar records that "she was denied any hope of future offspring" as she was excommunicated for the marriage, her husband being "her relative". 1
