Research Notes

  1. The Annales Stadenses names "Mauricium et Christianum" as the sons of "Christianus [de Aldenburg]" & his wife[32]. Graf von Oldenburg.
  2. The Historia Monasterii Rastedensis names "comites in Oldenborg…Mauricius et Cristianus duo fratres", specifying that both brothers were buried in "monasterio sancti Martini"[33].
  3. “Comitissa de Aldenburg domina Cunegundis mater comitis Mauritii cum ipso comite M.” donated property “in Redingstede” to Kloster Bergedorf by charter dated to [1194/98][34].
  4. “Comes Mauritius de Aldenburg” sold property to Kloster Bassum “cognatæ meæ Beatrici abbatissæ Bersensi”, when “filiam meam parvulam Salome” entered the monastery, with the consent of “uxore mea Salome et filiis...Christiano et Ottone...et filiabus meis Hathewige, Cunigunde, Salome et Oda”, by charter dated to before 1209[35].
