Birth:826
Death:900
On 5 October 851 Louis married Engelberga, daughter of Adelchis I of Spoleto.
Engelberga (or Angilberga, died between 896 and 901) was the wife of Louis II, Holy Roman Emperor and remained the Holy Roman Empress to his death on 12 August 875. As empress, she exerted a powerful influence over her husband. She was probably the daughter of Adelchis I of Parma and a member of one of the most powerful families in the Kingdom of Italy at that time, the Supponids.
Born around 830, she probably spent her youth in Pavia. She married Louis II on October 5, 851, but did not play a role in political life until after the death of his father, Lothair I, in 855. Upon his death, Lothair's kingdom was divided between his three sons and, as the eldest, Louis received Italy and the title of emperor.
In 896 Engelberga became Abbess of her own foundation of San Sisto, Piacenza, but died shortly afterward. She may have been buried here.
