2. King Conrad I de WELF of Burgundy [123781] (Rudolph II of Upper Burgundy & Italy (King)¹) was born about 923 in Arles Bouches-du-Rhone Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur France and died on 19 Oct 993 in Vienne Isere Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes France aged about 70.

General Notes: Wikipedia says of this Conrad,
Conrad I, called the Peaceful (French: Conrad le Pacifique; German: Konrad der Friedfertige; c. 925 \endash 19 October 993), a member of the Elder House of Welf, was King of Burgundy from 937 until his death.

He was the son of King Rudolph II, the first ruler over the united kingdom of Upper and Lower Burgundy since 933, and his consort Bertha, a daughter of Duke Burchard II of Swabia.[1] Some sources call him Conrad III, since he was the third Conrad in his family: his great-grandfather was Duke Conrad II, whose father was Count Conrad I.

According to the chronicler Ekkehard IV, in a story that is probably apocryphal, when Conrad learned that both the Magyars and the Saracens of Fraxinetum were marching against him, he sent envoys to both armies warning them of the other. The envoys offered Burgundian aid to each invader against the other and then informed them of the other's whereabouts. When the Magyars and Saracens met, the Burgundians held back and only attacked when the opposing forces were spent. In this way, both invading armies were destroyed and the captives sold into slavery.

Conrad married Queen Consort Mathilde de CAROLINGIA des Deux-Bourgognes [123783]. Mathilde was born in 943 in Laon Champagne Aisne Hauts-de-France France and died on 27 Jan 992 in Arles Bouches-du-Rhone Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur France at age 49.
