Notes
co-Founder of Naumburg Cathedral
There could be a generation missing. Stuart has Konrad b 1098 and Thiemo d c 1091. 
Thiemo could live that long but Konrad needs to be born much sooner

Thimo I, Count of Wettin (c.?1015 – 9 March 1090/1091 or c. 1100), a member of the 
Wettin dynasty, was Count of Wettin and Brehna.

Life[edit]

He was a younger son of Margrave Theodoric II, Margrave of Lower Lusatia and his 
wife Mathilda, a daughter of Margrave Eckard I of Meissen. When his father was killed 
in 1034, Thimo succeeded him in his Wettin and Brehna home territories. He also 
served as Vogt (bailiff) of the Naumburg diocese and of the Wettin family monastery in 
Gerbstedt.

In the Saxon Rebellion of 1073–75, he fought against King Henry IV and also 
quarreled with his brother Bishop Frederick of Münster. Later he again approached the 
king and in 1088 attended the Hoftag diet in Quedlinburg, where the Brunonid 
margrave Egbert II of Meissen was deposed.

The exact year of Thimo's death is unclear; since his son Conrad was born in 
approximately 1098, Thimo cannot have died long before this year. Alternatively, some 
researchers assume that Thimo was in fact Conrad's grandfather, and that Conrad's 
father was an unknown son of Thimo's with the same name, making a death year of 
1090/91 possible, as given in a chronicle. However, since Thimo II is not otherwise 
attested, this is considered unlikely.

He is buried at the monastery of Niemegk, which he had founded.

Marriage and children[edit]

Thimo married Ida, daughter of Count Otto of Nordheim. Together they had three 
children:
Dedi IV (died 16 December 1124), Count of Wettin, married Berta, daughter of 
Margrave Wiprecht of Groitzsch, died without male heirs
Conrad, Margrave of Meissen (c. 1097–1157)
Mathilde, married Count Gero I of Seeburg in 1115, and secondly Count Louis of 
Wippra in 1123
