In a charter of the Werden Abby on November 10, 855 he is mentioned as Hamulande in comitatu Wigmanni . (Hamaland - Count Wigmanni)[1]
He married Immihilt, mentioned in a charter of 880. This charter mentions her son Athelbert comes cum filio meo Billunc who donated property to Kloster Kaufungen, ad consolationem progenitorum meorum Wigman et Immihilt. (for the comfort of my ancestors Wigman and Immihilt).[1]
Wichmann & Immihilt had one child:
Athelbert. [1]
Research Notes
He may have been the same person as the Wichmann who was killed in battle in Saxony againt the Nordmannis on Feb 2, 880 according to The Annales Fuldenses.[1]
Or possibly the same person as Wichmann, who is mentioned in the imperial annals as one of the Frankish negotiators who discussed a peace agreement with the Dane in 811. [2]
