Agnes of Waiblingen (1072/73 – 24 September 1143), also known as Agnes of 
Germany, Agnes of Poitou and Agnes of Saarbrücken, was a member of the Salian 
imperial family. Through her first marriage, she was a Duchess consort of Swabia; 
through her second marriage, she was a Margravine consort of Austria.
Family[edit]

She was the daughter of Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor, and Bertha of Savoy.[1] Her 
maternal grandparents were Otto, Count of Savoy, and Adelaide of Susa. Her brother 
was Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor.

First marriage[edit]

In 1079, aged seven, Agnes was betrothed to Frederick, a member of the 
Hohenstaufen dynasty; at the same time, Henry IV invested Frederick as the new duke 
of Swabia.[2] The couple married in 1086, when Agnes was fourteen. They had eleven 
children, named in a document found in the abbey of Lorsch:
Hedwig-Eilike (1088–1110), married Friedrich, Count of Legenfeld
Bertha-Bertrade (1089–1120), married Adalbert, Count of Elchingen
Frederick II of Swabia
Hildegard
Conrad III of Germany
Gisihild-Gisela
Heinrich (1096–1105)
Beatrix (1098–1130), became an abbess
Kunigunde-Cuniza (1100–1120/1126), wife of Henry X, Duke of Bavaria (1108–1139)[3]
Sophia, married a count Adalbert
Fides-Gertrude, married Hermann III, Count Palatine of the Rhine

Second marriage[edit]

Following Frederick's death in 1105,[4] Agnes married Leopold III (1073-1136), the 
Margrave of Austria (1095-1136).[5] According to a legend, a veil lost by Agnes and 
found by Leopold years later while hunting was the instigation for him to found the 
Klosterneuburg Monastery.

Their children were:[6]
Leopold IV
Henry II of Austria
Berta, married Heinrich of Regensburg
Agnes, "one of the most famous beauties of her time", married Wladyslaw II of Poland
Ernst
Uta, wife of Liutpold von Plain
Otto of Freising, bishop and biographer
Conrad, Bishop of Passau, and Archbishop of Salzburg
Elizabeth, married Hermann, Count of Winzenburg
Judith, m. c. 1133 William V of Montferrat. Their children formed an important 
Crusading dynasty.
Gertrude, married Vladislav II of Bohemia

According to the Continuation of the Chronicles of Klosterneuburg, there may have 
been up to seven other children (possibly from multiple births) stillborn or who died in 
infancy.

In 1125, Agnes' brother, Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor, died childless, leaving Agnes 
and her children as heirs to the Salian dynasty's immense allodial estates, including 
Waiblingen.

In 1127, Agnes' eldest surviving son, Konrad III, was elected as the rival King of 
Germany by those opposed to the Saxon party's Lothar III. When Lothar died in 1137, 
Konrad was elected to the position.
