Judith of Carinthia

[3] She married Count Otto of Wormsgau who was made duke of Carinthia in 978.

It is possible that Judith and Otto lived in Carinthia already before that year, and the village Stainbach claims to be the birthplace of her son Bruno (born ca.

972) who would later become Pope Gregory V.[4] Through her son Henry of Speyer she became the grandmother of the Holy Roman emperor Conrad II of the Salian dynasty.

[5] According to a charter of Conrad II from 1034, she was buried in one of the six tombs in front of the altar in Worms Cathedral.

When during construction in 1906 works several tombs were discovered, the project manager Philipp Brand matched these to those members of the Salian dynasty, among them Judith and her two sons Henry and Conrad.
