Thietmar II


Thietmar II (d. 1029 or 1030) - Margrave of Lusatia from 1015. Curriculum vitae

Thietmar was the only son of Margrave of Lusatian Geronimo and Adelaide. After the death of his father in 1015, he became a Margrave of Lusatia. This was the first case of inheritance of march in eastern Germany from father to son. He had to fight Siegfried, the son of Hodon I, who had abandoned the monastery in Nienburg and tried to reach the Lusatian March.

In 1017 Thietmar lost part of Lusatia to the prince of Poland Boleslaw Chrobry, which was confirmed in 1018 in Bydgoszcz. He certainly took part in further struggles with the Poles. The news of his death was intended as an impetus for Mieszko II's attack on the Lusatian lands, and Siegfried had to cooperate with him at the time.

Thietmar's wife was Reinhild of Beichlingen. They had two children: the son of Hodon, who replaced his father on the Sorbian throne, and the daughter of Oda, who was the wife of Count William Weimar III, then Dedo I, Marxist Lupus of the Wettin family. Bibliography
