| Notes: | No exact date of birth of Hildegard was recorded, but a birthdate of 754 has been suggested. She could hardly have been younger than 16 or 17, because she gave birth to her first child in the year following her wedding. Girls could be married at any time after puberty, and in Roman law, which the Church upheld, the age of 12 was well established as being adequate.[8] An intense physical relationship between the spouses was demonstrated by the fact that, during her 12 years of marriage, Hildegard had 8 pregnancies (including one set of twins). Quite remarkably, the chronicles never mention either miscarriages or stillbirths, indicating that she was of sturdy health and that she was probably not too young at the time of the wedding.
