Notes

Billung (or Billing ) (* around 880; † May 26 ) is the legendary progenitor of the Saxon noble family of Billunger . On May 26, the obituary of the Church of St. Michael in Lüneburg contains a commemorative entry for a Count Billing who died on that day. No other news about him has survived. For the first time in the house chronicle of the monastery of St. Michael in Lüneburg, which was created between 1229 and 1233, it was said that Hermann Billungs ' father was a Count Billing. [1] The alleged progenitor of the Billungers should not be confused with the Saxon Count Billing , who was attested in the period 937-966 . |
