    History Agnes of Rochlitz (died 1195) came from the Wettin family and was daughter of Dedi III, Margrave of Lusatia and his wife, Matilda of Heinsburg. She is also known as Agnes of Wettin.

    Agnes married Berthold IV, Duke of Merania. From this marriage Agnes gained the titles of Duchess of Merania and Countess of Andechs.

    In 1186, Agnes\' husband accompanied Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor, to the Kingdom of Sicily. In 1189, he led the third division of the imperial army and was its standard-bearer on the Third Crusade.
    Issue[edit]
    Agnes had eight children, among them, three queens:

    Otto I, who succeeded his father
    Ekbert, bishop of Bamberg
    Henry, margrave of Istria
    Saint Hedwig, wife of Henry I the Bearded, duke of Silesia
    Gertrude, who married Andrew II of Hungary

    Berthold, Patriarch of Aquileia
    Mathilde, abbess of Klitzingen
    An unnamed daughter married into the Nemanjic family of Serbia.

    Gertrude became Queen of Hungary, but was murdered because she gave Hungarian lands to her relatives. Hedwig was eventually canonized in 1267.
