Adelheid of Burgundy (around 931–999) - "Mother of the Kingdoms"

Through them, the claim to the imperial throne was transferred from the Italian to the German king and retained until 1806. The educated and influential woman succeeded for the first time in enforcing a clear participation of the German queen in the rule. As a prime example of a Christian ruler, she was even venerated as a saint in Alsace soon after her death. Adelheid - empress since 962 - has demonstrably been to the Ingelheim imperial palace four times.
