Werner V (c. 899 – c. 935) was a Rhenish Franconian count in the Nahegau,
Speyergau and Wormsgau. He is one of the earliest documented ancestors of the
Salian dynasty that provided German kings (Kings of the Romans) and Holy Roman
Emperors from 1024 to 1125.
Werner's origins have not been conclusively established: his ancestor presumably was
Werner IV (also called Walaho), who appeared as a count in the Wormsgau about 840
and was married to Oda, a daughter of the Robertian count Robert III of Worms. He
inherited the Worms estates, after Oda's brother, Robert the Strong, left his home and
rose to power in West Francia. His daughter Wiltrud married the Conradine noble
Eberhard (d. 902/03), a count in the Niederlahngau and brother of Conrad the Elder;
she thereby became the aunt of future king Conrad I of Germany.
Werner V first appeared as a count in 906; as he was related to the most powerful
Franconian dynasties, he quickly assumed a leading position in the stem duchy,
particularly after Conrad I had become duke and was elected king in 911. According
to the contemporary chronicles by Flodoard, he had the Reims ecclesiastical lands in
the Palatinate confiscated and the Bishop of Speyer blinded.
Werner married Hicha (c. 905 – 950), a daughter of Duke Burchard II of Swabia and
his wife Regilinde of Zurich. Their only son was Conrad the Red, who was appointed
Duke of Lotharingia in 944.
