Note: There is an apparent error in Luitgarde's death date of 942. S ee notes under her. I think the clause ",killed 942 by Louis, son of Ch arles III "the simple" belongs to William's death and not to Luitgarde' s, even though she is the subject of the sentence before & after the cl ause. I am going to remove the death date as a sourced alternative. It i s an obvious error.
