Waldrada of Worms

  General Notes:

She was possibly the second wife of Conrad II, Duke of Transjurane Burgundy. If so, they had two known children, Adelaide of Auxerre and Rudolph I of Burgundy.

Some say her father was Saint William of Gellone. However, this may be unlikely. It is also unlikely that she is the wife of Conrad. While having been born supposedly between 790 and 801, she certainly could have been William's daughter, these dates are likely not accurate if she was also Conrad's wife. This is because her progeny with Conrad were born ca. 849 and 859, respectively. If these dates are accurate, then Waldrada had these children between the ages of 49 and 59 years old, at best. Given that menopause occurs in modern times between ages 45\endash 55, it is possible that she was Adelaide's mother. Her being Rudolph's mother is more problematic.

What is more likely is that she and the wife of Conrad are two different people. One possible solution is that the Waldrada who married Conrad II and Robert III is the daughter of Waldrada, wife of Adrian, Count of Orléans (767-824), who may (key word) be the daughter of William of Gelone. This is all conjecture, however.

Waldrada married Robert of Worms III, son of Robert of Hesbaye and Unknown. (Robert of Worms III was born in 800 and died in 834.)
