Her marriage is deduced from the Chronico Eberspergense which names "Hadamuoden neptem suam [Oudalrici Eberspergensi] de filia Willibirga", specifying that her maternal grandfather granted her properties in "Sevun, Otacheresperc…Niuunchirchen …Huntilpach" as his sons had no surviving children[756]. "Comitissa Willibirch" donated property to Geisenfeld monastery, at the request of "filie sue Liutkarde", in memory of "defunctique mariti Werigandi"[757].

Notes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geisenfeld_Abbey

Geisenfeld Abbey (German: Kloster Geisenfeld) was a convent in Bavaria, Germany, in the town of Geisenfeld. It was founded in 1037 and dissolved in 1804. At one time it was one of the most prosperous convents in Bavaria.

Foundation

Count Eberhard II, the last male descendant of the Sempt und Ebersberg family, and his wife Adelheit founded Geisenfeld Abbey in 1030 after their three children had died leaving no descendants. It replaced a monastery in today's Engelbrechtsmünster that had been destroyed around 955 AD by the Hungarians.[1] The founders gave the abbey a lavish endowment.[2] Instead of monks, as before, the Abbey was for use by nuns of the Order of Saint Benedict from noble families.[2][a] It accommodated about 50 nuns.[1] The first abbess was the sister of Count Eberhard II, Gerbirgis.[3] [SIC: Williburga]

Do not confuse Liutold & Willibirg with Weriand & Willibirg:

1. WERIAND [Wecellin?], son of --- (-1051). Conte in Istria and Friulia. A charter dated 3 Nov 1001 records a judgment relating to a grant by Emperor Otto III to "Uverihen comes" in a session at which "Fulco comes, Egelre comes, Lanfrancus comes, comites Vicentino atque Patavino Uualferam et Ceisulf comitibus…" were present[249].

m WILLIBIRG von Ebersberg, daughter of UDALRICH Graf von Ebersberg [Sieghardinger] & his wife Richardis von Viehbach [Eppensteiner] (-25 Nov after 1056).

Medlands quotes “Europäische Stammtafeln” and places Hadamot, Gerberga and Luitgard as daughters of Liutold, Comte de Montbéliard and his wife Williberga, Countess of Montbéliard in error. Primary sources about the Geisenfeld monastery show they are, in fact, children of Count Werigand of Istria-Friuli and his wife Williburga II, de Semta et Ebersberg, comitissa.
