Life

Richlind was the daughter of Rudolf II, Count of Altdorf and Ita (or Ida), daughter of Conrad I, Duke of Swabia.[2] She was married to Adalbert II, count of Ebersberg. The couple had no children.

When Richlind’s husband, Adalbert, was dying (in March 1045) he made a donation to the monastery of Ebersberg and left his remaining property to his wife.[3] Richlind enlisted the help of Emperor Henry III, to transfer this property to her nephew, Welf III, the son of her brother, Welf II.[4]

Richlind died on 12 June 1045, when a building in which she was standing collapsed.[5]

gollark: What? It has `Nothing`. That exists.
gollark: But if it's `Nothing`, it just returns `Nothing`.
gollark: The thing which makes it monady is that you can do `x >>= f`, which in this case takes a `Maybe` x, and if it is `Just a`, passes that `a` to `f`, which then returns another `Maybe`.
gollark: Anyway, ignoring LyricLy, the bee entity: `Maybe` can be `Just x`, representing that it has an x, or `Nothing`, representing that it contains *no* x. You can do `return`/`pure`, which gives you a `Just x` for any `x`.
gollark: Or possibly binary. Something like that.
