enemy of the deposed Margrave, Werner von Waldbach
Bernard (or Bernhard) (died 1051) was the Margrave of the Nordmark from 1009 until 
his death. He was the son of Dietrich of Haldensleben and a rival of the counts of 
Walbeck, one of whom, Werner, he succeeded in the march following his deposition.

In 1016–1017, Bernard feuded with Gero, Archbishop of Magdeburg, and consequently 
with the Emperor Henry II over the ambitions of the Magdeburger church.[1] The 
Emperor interevened and forced Bernard to pay Gero 500 lbs of silver in compensation 
for the assault his men had made on the city of Magdeburg.[2] Bernard was treated as 
an equal of his legal lord, the Duke of Saxony, then Bernard II, in a 1028 letter of the 
Emperor Conrad II concerning the slaves of the church of Verden, which was located 
in the provinces "to whom we [Conrad] have committed [to the Bernards] the rule."[3]

He married a daughter of Vladimir the Great, Grand Prince of Kiev. He was succeeded 
as margrave by his eldest son William, in 1051.[4] His second son, Conrad, succeeded 
to Haldensleben. He also left daughters, Theutberga, Oda, and perhaps Othelindis, 
wife of Dirk III, Count of Holland. His illegitimate son by a Slav mistress, Otto, tried to 
succeed his brother, but was defeated and killed in battle.
