The "Dictionary of Royal Lineage", under the Dukes of Saxony on page
576, under the listing for Bernhard II, states that he married Eilika, d. of
Henrik, marquis of Schweinfort. Their first child, Otto, was born in
1042. On page 693, under the Dukes of Swabia, under the entry for
Hermann II, it is stated that Hermann's daughter, Gerberga, m. Heinrich,
count of Schweinfort (d. 1017).
Page 35 of "The Orgins of Modern Germany" by Geoffrey Barraclough,
states : "But the culmination of the process was reached under Henry II
when, following the rebellion of Count Henry of Schweinfurt, the
Margrave of the Nordgau, in alliance with Bohemia and Poland, the King
realized the necessity of erecting a safer defence for the heart of the
country on both sides of the Main than Otto I and Otto II had succeeded in
creating in the margravate of the Nordgau. With this in view Henry II
destroyed the power of the Schweinfurt family and, in 1007, set up in
its place on the upper Main the new bishoprick of Bamberg . . . "
