_Wife of Edward the Outlaw_ (Vol. ii., p. 279.).--With reference to the
Query of E.H.Y. (Vol. ii., p. 279.), there seems to be much confusion in
all the accounts of Edward's marriage. I think it is evident, from an
attentive consideration of the various authorities, that the Lady Agatha
was {319} either sister to Giselle, wife of _Stephen_, King of Hungary
(to whom the young princes must have been sent, as _he_ reigned from
A.D. 1000 till A.D. 1038), and sister also to the Emperor Henry II., or,
as some writers seem to think, she was the daughter of Bruno, that
emperor's brother. (See a note in Dr. Lingard's _History_, vol. i. p.
349.)
That she was not the _daughter_ of either Henry II., Henry III., or
Henry IV., is very certain; in the first case, for the reason stated by
your correspondent; and in the second, because Henry III. was only
twelve years old when he succeeded his father Conrad II.
