 In 1036 she married King Henry, afterwards the emperor Henry III, and there was nothing in her domestic history to warrant the legend, which is given as authentic history by William of Malmesbury ("De gestis regum Anglorum", lib.ii.~i88).She was called Cunigund after her marriage, and perhaps was confused with St Cunigund, the wife of the Emperor Henry II.In the "Karlamagnus-saga" the innocent wife is Oliva, sister of Charlemagne and wife of King Hugo, and in the French Carolingian cycle the emperor's wife Sibille ("La Reine Sibille") or Blanchefleur ("Macaire").
