| Notes |
- The younger son of Eberhard, Graaf van Drethe en Salland and his wife Amalrada, potentially named Eberhard, was the brother of Dietrich the Bishop of Metz and the father of five children including the future Graven van Teisterban(d/t) [1]
His existence and parentage is confirmed by the Vita Deoderici Episcopi which names "Everardi fratruelis sui [=Dietrich Bishop of Metz]…infans…ex cuius fratre fuit genitus", when recording his son's death in Sep 978. [1]
His wife was possibly a relative of Ansfrid III, Comte de Huy who later became the Bishop of Utrecht. [1]
The couple reportedely had five children as reflected in Europäische Stammtafeln although primary sources confirming parentage remain to be identified: [1]
Eberhard, who died young in Sep 978
Fretherhard, who became Graaf van Teisterband
Adelbold, who became the Bishop Utrecht
Unruoch, who succeeded his elder brother as Graaf van Teisterband
Godizo, who became the Graaf van Betuwe (Batavia)
