Liudolf of Brunswick (c. 1003 – 23 April 1038) was Margrave of Frisia, Count of 
Brunswick, Count in the Derlingau and the Gudingau.

Liudolf was a descendant of the Saxon family of the Brunonen. He was a son of Bruno 
I, Count of Brunswick, and Gisela of Swabia.[1] The later Roman Emperor Henry III 
was his half-brother. He married Gisela and had four children. He controlled the Frisian 
counties Oostergo, Zuidergo and Westergo. For two more generations the Brunonen 
family line inherited the title. How the Brunonen came to their position in the counties 
is not known. There is a theory that Liudolf took advantage of the reign of violence by 
the Counts of Holland in the part of Friesland between the Vlie and the Lauwers. Not 
much is known about his life. He died in 1038 and was succeeded by his son, Bruno 
II.

Family[edit]

Liudolf and Gisela had the following children:
Brun II (around 1024 – 26 June 1057)
Egbert I, Margrave of Meissen (died 1068)
Matilda of Frisia (died 1044); married King Henry I of France[1]
Ida of Elsdorf, married to Lothair Udo I, Margrave of the Nordmark.[1] Their daughter 
Oda of Stade married Sviatoslav II Yaroslavich, Grand Prince of Kiev.
