Richenza, also Ruchina, is ES, apparently following Decker-Hauf, and
do not seem strongly founded.
Forgetting the 'Hessos' for the moment, 1226 in Italy there was a
mention to a lover of emperor Friedrich II, only identified by the
surname Volvessolsen; some centuries later this was identified with
Wolfsölden.
The only Wolfsölden girl available was Richenza, established daughter
of Berthold, count of Beilstein and his wife Adelheid of Bonfeld who
married Gottfried II, count of Löwenstein and did pass the surnames
and the properties Wolfsölden, Beilstein and Löwenstein to their son,
Gottfried III, who later sold Beilstein and Wolfsölden to the bishop
of Marzburg.
Without other basis that I could find in the Web, Berthold II, was
then identified as son of Berthold I, count of Schauenburg 1165-1192,
and count of Wolfsölden 1182-1193 and unkown mother.
Nothing more seems to be known of Richenza's mother Adelheid
(baroness?) of Bonfeld, except that she made a donation in 1140 and a
Friedrich von Bonfeld, probably a brother, made similar donation in
1143 but nothing in or near Beilstein.
This seems to leave the unknown paternal grandmother as only possible
origin for the Beilstein heritage.
There is not much more that I can do for myself so I am asking for any
possible assistance. Based in different web sources and with probable
inconsistencies in names, titles and dates I will leave Richenza's
known ancestry (limited to 9 generations), thanking in advance any
correction or addition or references to primary or very sound
secondary sources.
Best regards,
