Ordulf (sometimes Otto) (c.?1022 – 28 March 1072) was the duke of Saxony from 1059, 
when he succeeded his father Bernard II, until his death. He was a member of the 
Billung family.

Reign[edit]

His entire reign was occupied by wars with the Wends. He was allied with Denmark in 
this endeavor, and he strengthened the alliance by marrying Wulfhild of Norway, the 
daughter of King Olaf II of Norway, in 1042. Their son Magnus succeeded Ordulf as 
Duke of Saxony.

Ordulf's second wife, Gertrude of Haldensleben, daughter of a Count Conrad, was 
imprisoned in Mainz in 1076 and died 21 February 1116. Their son Bernard died after a 
fall from a horse in Lüneburg on 15 July of an unknown year.

Ordulf is buried in the Church of St. Michael in Lüneburg.
