https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brun_I,_Count_of_Brunswick
Brun (Latin Bruno; born around 975, died around 1010), was Count in the Derlingau, 
the Nordthüringgau, the Hastfalagau, the Salzgau, the Gau Gretinge, and the Gau 
Mulbeze, with Brunswick as his residence. Brun was a member of the Brunones 
dynasty.

Brun's father is assumed to have been Count Liudolf (died 993). In 1002, Brun married 
Gisela of Swabia, who later became wife of the Emperor. Their oldest son was Liudolf 
(about 1003–1038).

In 990, Brun was a member of the Saxon army that supported Mieszko I, Duke of 
Poland, against Boleslaus II, Duke of Bohemia, in Silesia. Brun participated in the 
election for King of the Romans of 1002 (after the death of Otto III, Holy Roman 
Emperor) as a candidate and elector. When his own candidacy failed, he supported 
Herman II, Duke of Swabia, whose daughter he married in the same year. Brun had 
been considered a legitimate candidate because he was a male-line relative of Otto 
III.
