From the Wikipedia entry on Hermann Billung:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Billung
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermann_Billung
Hermann Billung (900 or 912 – 27 March 973) was a Margrave of Saxony and one of the most well-known members of the House of Billung.
Hermann was the son of Billung von Stubenskorn (c. 860-967) and Ermengarde of Nantes (b. 900). Hermann is generally counted as the first Billung Duke of Saxony, but his exact position is unclear. King Otto I appointed Hermann margrave in 936, granting him a march north of the Elbe between the Limes Saxoniae and Peene Rivers. Having more autonomy than his contemporary margrave Gero, Hermann exacted tribute from the Polabian Slavs inhabiting the March of the Billungs. He often fought against the West Slavic tribes of the Redarians, Abotrites, and Wagrians.
By 953 Otto I, who was also Duke of Saxony, began entrusting more and more of his authority in Saxony to Hermann during his absences. However, Hermann was never named as duke in royal documents. Instead, he is named as a military leader, count, and margrave. His son Bernard inherited and strengthened his father's position and managed to be recognized as duke.
(The German Wikipedia entry differs in defining the absences: in 953 was the Liudolfinischer Uprising, and in 961 was Otto's Second Expedition to Italy, saying that during both times Herman was appointed by King Otto as Procurator Regis, a position that gave him the full backing of the Saxon Court. Herman was also appointed Count in Wetigau, Tilithigau, Marsterngau, and Bardengau.)
Hermann had property around Lüneburg and founded the monastery of St. Michael in that city. He died in Quedlinburg.
[In the German Wikipedia entry, a more detailed history is given:
Fall 936, with the defeat of the insurgent Redarier, he is named Princeps Militiae and charged to limit any expansion by East Francia to the northeast along the Elbe River, and he was named Mark der Billunger.
953 - when Otto moved against his rebellious son Liudolf, he appointed Hermann as Procurator Register in Saxony, giving Hermann de facto powers as Duke, but not describing him as such (he was called Marchio and Comes). During this time, Hermann succeeded in driving out his nephew Wichmann II and Egbert the One-Eyed (both of whom sided with the rebels) from Saxony.
August 961 - Otto began his second expedition into Italy and finally made peace on 2 February 962 with Pope John XII in Rome, obtaining the title of Kaiser. During his absence, Hermann was appointed his deputy again in Saxony.
972 - Archbishop Adalbert of Magdeburg received Hermann like a king, sitting him at the King's place at his table and allowing him to take over his bed chambers. Otto I was angered by such presumption, and was removed from his deputy position.
Hermann was buried in the Klosters St. Michaelis in Luneburg, even though according to Dietmar of Merseburg he had been excommunicated by Bishop Bruno of Verden (and refused burial).]
[edit] Descendants
Hermann Billung was probably married twice, first to a woman named Oda (who died on 15 March in an unknown year, probably after 973), and second to Hildegarde (Hildesuith) of Westerbourg.
He had five children:
1. Bernhard I (c. 950 to 1011), Duke of Saxony (buried in the Church of the Monastery of St. Michael in Luneburg)
2. Liutger (died 26 February 1011) Count in Westfalengau (and Lesum), attested in 991, buried in St. Michaels in Lüneburg (Church of the Monastery of St. Michael), married Emma (of Lessum, 975/980 to 3 December 1038) who is buried in the Bremen Cathedral, daughter of Immed IV (Immedinger), sister of Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn.
3. Mathilde (born between 935 and 945, died 25 May 1008 in Ghent St. Peter), married 1st in 961 to Balduin III, Count of Flanders (died 1 January 962), married second Gottfried der Gefangene (died on 3/4 April after 995) in 963/982, Count of Verdun (Wigeriche), buried in St. Peter's in Ghent
4. Suanhilde (born between 945 and 955, died 28 November 1014, buried in the monastery of Burg Kapellenburg south of Kleinjena (Jena), reburied after 1028 in the Georgskirche of Naumburg in Saale, married 1st in 970 Thietmar I (c. 920 to 3 August after 979) Margrave of Meissen, married (2) before 1000 Ekkehard I (murdered 30 April 1002 in Pöhlde); in 992 (or 987 according to the German Wikipedia) Margrave of Meissen, buried in the monastery of Burg Kapellenburg south of Kleinjena (Jena), reburied after 1028 in the Georgskirche of Naumburg in Saale.

Hermann av Sachsen (fødselsår ukjent, død i Quedlinburg i 973) av slekten Billung. I 936 ble han tildelt tittelen markgreve av Otto den store som takk for hans deltagelse i overvinnelsen av redarierne, obotrittene, wagrierne og danene. I 940 var han greve av Wetigau og i 953 utnevnte Otto ham til sin stedfortreder i Sachsen, noe som de facto gjorde ham til hertug uten at han hadde tittelen. Herman greide å fordrive nevøene sine, Wichmann II og Ekbert enøye, som sympatiserte med opprørerne fra Sachsen. I 955 opptrådte Hermann Billung som greve i Tilithigau og Marstengau, og i 956 ble han utnevnt til markgreve. Under Ottos reise til Italia i 956 og til Roma i 961 utnevnte han Herman på ny som sin stedfortreder i Sachsen.
Herman var gift med Oda og senere med Hildeshuith, og med dem hadde han barna:
Bernhard I av Sachsen (-1011)
Ludger (-1011)
Suanehilde (-1014), gift med markgreve Thietmar I av Meißen (-979) og deretter med markgreve Ekhard I av Meißen (-1002)
Imma, abbedisse i Herford
Mathildis (942-1008), gift med greve Boudewijn III av Flandern (940-962) i 961 og i 963 med grev Gottfried av Verdun (930-1002).
Forgjenger:
Otto II Hertug av Sachsen
(961–973) Etterfølger:
Bernhard I av Sachsen
General Notes:
Han var stamfar til det Billungske hus. Forbindelsen med den eldre Billungslekten er usikker. Det er mulig at hans far var Billung som var greve av Sachsen og som døde i 967.
Hermann døde i 973 antagelig ca. 70 år gammel.
Billungslekten etterfulgte Liudolfingerslekten som hertuger av Sachsen fra 961 til 1106 og ble etterfulgt av Askanierslekten. Hertugdømmet Sachsen var en del av det tysk-romerske riket.
Research Notes:
Burke says he was Conrad I, le Pacifique, Roi de Bourgogne Transjurane.

Hermann Billung (900 or 912 – 27 March 973) was a Margrave of Saxony and one of the most well-known members of the House of Billung.
Hermann's parents are unknown. Hermann is generally counted as the first Billung Duke of Saxony, but his exact position is unclear. King Otto I appointed Hermann margrave in 936, granting him a march north of the Elbe between the Limes Saxoniae and Peene Rivers. Having more autonomy than his contemporary margrave Gero, Hermann exacted tribute from the Polabian Slavs inhabiting the March of the Billungs. He often fought against the West Slavic tribes of the Redarians, Abotrites, and Wagrians.
By 953 Otto I, who was also Duke of Saxony, began entrusting more and more of his authority in Saxony to Hermann during his absences. However, Hermann was never named as duke in royal documents. Instead, he is named as a military leader, count, and margrave. His son Bernard inherited and strengthened his father's position and managed to be recognized as duke.
Hermann had property around Lüneburg and founded the monastery of St. Michael in that city. He died in Quedlinburg.
Hermann Billung (900 or 912 – 27 March 973) was the Margrave of the Billung March from 936 until his death. The first of the Saxon House of Billung, Hermann was a trusted lieutenant of Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor. Though never Duke of Saxony himself, while Otto (who was the enthroned Duke of Saxony) was in Italy from 961 until 972, Hermann served as Otto's personal representative in governing Saxony. Towards the end of his life, Hermann was the effective Duke in all but name. Hermann died in 973, just two months before Otto's own death. Hermann's son Bernard I was named as the new Duke of Saxony by Otto I's son Otto II, the new Holy Roman Emperor. Life: Hermann was the son of the Eastphalian count Billung von Stubenskorn (c. 860-967) and Ermengarde of Nantes. He was the younger brother of the Saxon count Wichmann the Elder. Hermann is generally counted as the first Billung duke (Herzog) of Saxony, but his exact position is unclear. The ducal Ottonian dynasty had risen to German royalty with the accession of Henry the Fowler in 919 and had to concentrate on countrywide affairs. At least in 961, when King Otto I of Germany marched against the Kingdom of Italy for the second time, he made Hermann the administrator (procurator regis) in his Saxon lands. When in 936 King Otto I had ascended the throne, he appointed Hermann a margrave (princeps militiae), granting him the Saxon march north of the Elbe river. His Billung March stretched from the Limes Saxoniae in the west along the Baltic coast to the Peene River in the east, roughly corresponding with the later Mecklenburg region. Otto thereby disregarded the claims of Hermann's elder brother Count Wichmann, a brother-in-law of Queen Dowager Matilda of Ringelheim. Wichmann in turn joined the unsuccessful rebellion of King Otto's half-brother Thankmar and Duke Eberhard of Franconia in 938. Having more autonomy than the contemporary margrave Gero ruling over the adjacent Marca Geronis in the south, Hermann exacted tribute from the local Polabian Slavs of the Obotrite tribal federation. Upon his brother's death in 944, he also became count in the Saxon Bardengau around the town of Lüneburg, where he founded the monastery of St Michael in that city. He again disregarded the inheritance claims raised by his nephews Wichmann the Younger and Egbert the One-Eyed. In 953 both joined the countrywide rebellion started by King Otto's younger brother Duke Liudolf of Swabia, which only collapsed due to the massive invasion of Hungarian forces. During this grave crisis, the king, who was also Duke of Saxony, began entrusting more and more of his authority in the Saxon lands to Hermann during his absences. However, Hermann was never named dux in royal documents. Instead, he is named as a military leader, count, and margrave. His position was solidified, when on 2 February 962 King Otto was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in Rome by Pope John XII. Hermann was received like a king by Archbishop Adalbert of Magdeburg in 972, which even annoyed the emperor. He may have been the founder of the Hermannsburg locality in the Lüneburg Heath, first mentioned in 1059. Hermann died in Quedlinburg. His son Bernard inherited and strengthened his father's position and managed to be recognized as duke. Descendants: Hermann Billung maybe was married twice: According to the chronicles of St Michael's Abbey in Lüneburg, a Countess Oda died on 15 March in an unknown year after 973, the Xanten annals noted the death of one Ode, spouse of Duke Hermann, on the same day. She probably was related with the royal Ottonian dynasty; Henry the Fowler's grandmother was named Oda (herself a member of the Billung dynasty), which was also the name of his sister. A second wife Hildesuith or Hildegard of Westerburg is mentioned in the chronicles, but her relation to Oda remains unclear. Hildegard was also the name of the spouse of Hermann's son Bernard. The name of Hermann's grand-daughter Oda of Meissen indicate that Oda was the mother of his children. He had five children:
Bernhard I (died 1011), Duke of Saxony
Liutger (died 26 February 1011) Count in Westfalengau, attested in 991, buried in St. Michaels in Lüneburg, married Emma (died 3 December 1038), buried in the Bremen Cathedral, daughter of Immed IV (Immedinger) and Adela of Hamaland, sister of Bishop Meinwerk of Paderborn.

Han var stamfar til det Billungske hus. Forbindelsen med den eldre Billungslekten er usikker. Det er mulig at hans far var Billung som var greve av Sachsen og som døde i 967. Hermann døde i 973 antagelig ca. 70 år gammel.
Billungslekten etterfulgte Liudolfingerslekten som hertuger av Sachsen fra 961 til 1106 og ble etterfulgt av Askanierslekten. Hertugdømmet Sachsen var en del av det tysk-romerske riket. 1)

he Chronica Principum Saxoniæ names "vir…nomine Bilingus" as father of "Hermannum"[217], although the accuracy of this statement is not known. The name of the father of the brothers Amelung, Wichmann [I] and Hermann Billung has not so far been found in any other source. The possibility that some or all of them were uterine brothers cannot be excluded. http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SAXONY.htm
