      "The extent of Otto the Great's dominions compelled him to delegate much of
      his authority in Saxony, and in 960 he gave to a trusted relative, Hermann
      Billung, certain duties and privileges on the eastern frontier and from
      time to time appointed him as his representative in Saxony. Hermann
      gradually extended his authority, and when he died in 973 was followed by
      his son Bernhard I, who was undoubtedly duke of Saxony in 986."
      {-Encycl.Brit.,`56,20:33} Hermann's wife is Hildegarde of Westerbourg.
