ADELHEID.
From Teutonic Adelheidis
(q.v.), meaning "a noble person." All the
feudal princes of the tenth and eleventh centuries seem to have had an Adelheid
to offer in marriage. (History of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884).
Also see Adalheid.
Usage: Germany, Holland,
Switzerland.
... Just about one hundred years
after the death of Etheldritha in 931, was born one Adelheid
(noble maiden) who at the age of sixteen married Lothaire, King of
Italy; three years later Lothaire was poisoned, and his widow invited
King Otto I. of Germany into Italy, to fight against her enemy Duke
Berengarius or Berenger who had seized the crown.
Adelheid was taken prisoner by Berengarius,
but escaped, and again inviting Otto over, finally married him in
951-2. In 973 Otto died and Adelheid was appointed Regent
during the minority of her grandson, Otto III. Adelheid was
canonized and is known as Saint Adelheid or Adelaide...
