bullet  Noted events in her life were:

• Web Reference: Charles Cawley's Medieval Lands, Cunigonde.
Her parentage and first marriage are indicated by the charter dated to [915] under which Charles III "le Simple" King of the West Franks donated the abbeys of Hastičres and Saint-Rombaut to Ličge Saint-Lambert, granting the enjoyment for life to "comes Windricus...uxoris eius...Cunegundis et unius filiorum ipsorum...nostri nepotis Adelberonis" [Miraeus (Le Mire), A. (1723) Opera diplomatica et historica, 2nd edn. (Louvain), Tome II, II, p. 805. ]. Her first and second marriages are confirmed by the Vita Iohannis Gorziensis which names "episcopo…Adalberone" (her son by her first husband) and "vitrico…eius Richizone" (her second husband) [Vita Iohannes Gorziensis 105, MGH SS IV, p. 367]. Her parentage is confirmed more specifically because the mother of Siegfried Count of Luxembourg is named "Cynigund", daughter of "Irmindrud" daughter of Louis II "le Bčgue" [Tabula Genealogica ex Codice Bibl. Regić Monacensis, MGH SS II, p. 314].
