GISELA OF BURGUNDY

'Gisela of Burgundy' (before 952 – July 21, 1006) was the daughter of Conrad of Burgundy, "the Peaceful" (''ca'' 923/5–993), who inherited the Kingdom of Arles, and his second wife, Adelaide of Bellay. By his first, more dynastic, marriage, Gisela's father had produced an heir, Rudolf III (died 1032), so he was free to marry for love and comfort.
Some time before 972 Gisela married Henry II, Duke of Bavaria, "The Wrangler". Before he was deposed (985) and died young, (995) they had many children, whom they provided suitable places among the ruling classes of Europe: Henry II of Germany; Giselle of Bavaria, married Stephen of Hungary; Bruno, Bishop of Augsburg; Brigitta, probably an abbess; and Arnold, appointed Archbishop of Ravenna.
