Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gero_II,_Margrave_of_the_Saxon_Ostmark
Gero II (c. 975 – 1 September 1015 at Krosno Odrzanskie) was the eldest son of 
Thietmar, Margrave of Meissen, and Schwanehilde (Suanhild), daughter of Herman, 
Duke of Saxony. He was therefore probably a grandson of Hidda and Christian of 
Thuringia and named for his great uncle Gero the Great. He succeeded his probable 
uncle, Hodo, as Margrave of the Saxon Ostmark including Mark Lausitz (Lusatia) in 
993 upon the death of margrave of Lusatia Hodo or Odo I, Margrave of the Saxon 
Ostmark.

Gero was created Count of Hassegau in 992, just a year before becoming margrave. 
He died in his territory in battle with a Polish army of Boleslaw I in Gau Diadesi and 
was buried in his family's monastery of Nienburg. He was survived by his wife Adelaide 
(Athelheidhe) and one son, Thietmar, who succeeded him.
