There are various descents to the present from Ezzo,
d. 1039, Count of Lorraine, whose second wife Matilda
was the daughter of Emperor Otto II and Theophano of
Byzantium. However, Ezzo's daughter Richenza,
who married Misczyslaw II of Poland, is his child
by his first wife Richenza (daughter of Konrad or
Kuno, Duke of Swabia), rather than by his second
wife Matilda. Authority: Robert L. Stimmel, "Notes
