  • Notes 
    • "Sigfried (or Siegfried) was count of the Ardennes and the first person to rule Luxembourg. He was an advocate of the abbeys of St. Maximin in Trier and Saint Willibrord in Echternach. He MAY have been the son of Count Palatine Wigeric of Lotharingia and Cunigunda. He was the founder of the House of Luxembourg, a branch of the House of Ardennes."

      "In the mid-10th century, Siegfried acquired the rocky promontory known as Lucilinburhuc (Luxembourg) and its immediate surrounding area, as well as usage rights for the river from the Abbey of Saint-Maximin in Trier; this was in exchange for land he owned near Feulen."

      "Around 950, he married Hedwig of Nordgau (937–992), daughter of Eberhard IV of Nordgau. They had the following issue:
      - Henry I of Luxembourg
      - Siegfried
      - Frederick I
      - Dietrich II
      - Adalberon
      - Gislebert
      - Cunigunda
      - Eve
      - Ermentrude
      - Luitgarde
      - a daughter [that married Thietmar]"
