Hemma Emma of Altdorf , also known as Hemma ( – 31 January 876 ) , a member of the Elder House of Welf , was Queen consort of East Francia by marriage to King Louis the German , from 843 until her death . Life . Her father was Welf I ( d . 825 ) , Count of Altorf in Alamannia ; her mother was Hedwig ( Heilwig ; c . 775 – after 833 ) , a daughter of the Saxon count Isambart . Emmas elder sister was Judith , who in February 819 married the Carolingian emperor Louis the Pious , and thereby became Queen consort of the Franks and Holy Roman Empress . The marriage marked a crucial step forward in the rise of the Welf dynasty . In 827 , probably at the instigation of Judith , Hemma married Louis the German , the youngest son of Emperor Louis the Pious from his first marriage with Ermengarde of Hesbaye , and stepson of Hemmas sister Judith . The wedding ceremony possibly took place in Regensburg , where Louis the German resided as King of Bavaria subordinate to his father . In 833 , Hemma received Obermünster Abbey in Regensburg from her husband . Emperor Louis died in 840 .

The Kingdom of Bavaria was merged with Louis the Germans Kingdom of East Francia ( the predecessor of the Kingdom of Germany ) , and his wife Hemma became the first East Frankish queen . Hemma is rarely mentioned in contemporary sources ; she does not seem to have had much influence on her husbands rule . The Annales Bertiniani written by Archbishop Hincmar of Reims however reproach her for a pride which displeased the people of Italy . She is also said to have inordinately favoured her son Carloman , designated heir of his father in Bavaria , which led to a revolt by his brothers . Hemma suffered a stroke in 874 and subsequently became paralyzed and speechless ; King Louis visited her the last time in 875 . She died on 31 January 876 , a few months before her husband , and was buried in St . Emmerams Abbey , Regensburg . Her tomb , erected around 1300 , is considered a masterpiece of medieval sculpture . Family .
