      {Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1956 Ed., 20:33 states:} Ludolph (Liudolf) was
      appointed about 850 by King Louis "the German" as margrave to defend the
      `Limes Saxoniae' (a narrow strip of land on the eastern frontier) against
      the Slavs. Ludolph vigorously fought the Slavs and extended the frontier
      and his own influence. {-This source states he died in 866.} He was
      succeeded by his son Bruno who was killed fighting the Normans in 880; the
      second son, Otto the Illustrious, then succeeded and was recognized Duke of
      Saxony by King Conrad I.
