Burchard II had married his daughter Bertha …
Years: 926 - 926
Burchard II had married his daughter Bertha to King Rudolph II of Upper Burgundy in 922 and affirmed the peace of three years prior.
Burchard had then accompanied Rudolph into Italy when he was elected king by opponents of the Emperor Berengar.
When, in 926, Hugh of Arles is elected by his partisans to oppose Rudolph, Burchard attacks Novara, defended by the troops of Lambert, Archbishop of Milan.
Here he is killed, probably on April 29.
His widow, Regelinda (d. 958), remarries to Burchard's successor, Herman I.
