D C Jackman *Criticism and Critique: Sidelights on the Konradiner*(1997
), pp.127-128 thinks that Imma's mother was "undoubtedly a Hereswint.' The
re is primary evidence that a count Hnabi had a wife Hereswint, but the
re has been (and maybe there still is) a dispute whether this Hnabi/Nebi w
as Imma's father. . I think Jackman's claim about Imma's mother is probab
le but not undoubted. His onomastic argument (which has to do, amongst oth
er things, with the origins of Hunfriedinger) is very alluring! He not on
ly makes Hereswint the wife of Hnabi and mother of Imma and Ruadpert but a
lso sees her as a probable dau. of count Rutpert (Robert) and Williswint d
au. of count Adalhelm. Richard Borthwick (edited)
