Charles Cawley's Medieval Lands, Liudolf Duke of Saxony, son of Bruno, married Oda, daughter of Billung, princeps and his wife Aeda.
"Bruno was named as father of Liudolf in the early 13th century Gandersheimer Reimchronik [126], but no earlier source has so far been found which confirms the relationship. The Chronicon Hildesheimense records that Liudolf founded the abbey of Gandersheim in 852, first at Brunshausen [127]. Widukind records that "Liudulfus" transferred relics of Pope Innocent to Rome [128]. The Carmen de Primordiis Cśnobii Gandersheimensis names the wife of "Liudulfus" as "Oda…Francorum…de stirpe potentum, filia Billungi…atque Aedć" [131]. "Oda comitissa, Pipini regis Italić ex filia neptis, Hliudolfi Ducis vidua" founded Kloster Calbe an der Milde, by charter dated 885[132].


Liudolf married Oda, daughter of Billung Princeps of Saxony and Adea Carolingien 160. (Oda was born about 831 in Saxony and died on 17 May 913 in Saxony.)
