Life

Around 1142, Dobroniega married with Dietrich, second surviving son of Conrad, Margrave of Meissen and Lusatia.[1][2][3] After her wedding, she change her name to Ludgarda.

During her marriage she bore her husband two children: a son, Conrad, and a daughter, Gertruda.[4] When Margrave Conrad died in 1157, he divided his domains between his sons; Dietrich became in the Margrave of Lusatia (Orientalis marchio) and Dobroniega in the Margravine consort.

Death and Aftermaths

Dobroniega's date of death remains unknown. Her last mention as a living person was on 26 October 1147, but certainly she was alive by 1157 when her husband succeeded in Lusatia; some sources ranked her death by 1160.[5] Her son Conrad was killed in a tournament on 17 February 1175 and her daughter Gertruda became a nun in Gerbstedt.

Without surviving legitimate male issue, when Margrave Dietrich I died in 1185 was succeeded by his younger brother Dedi V.
