  • Count Balderic of Upladium (died 5 June 1021) was a Rhineland count in the Holy Roman Empire, who held various estates stretching from the forest region of Drenthe in the north, to the area near Cologne, on both sides of the river Rhine. Balderic and his wife were heavily involved in feuds among the nobility in the region where the rivers Rhine and Maas converge. At first he fought on the side of one of two feuding heiresses, , perhaps as her vassal. Together with Godizo son of Richizo, a relative of the sisters, he successfully destroyed the fort of her sister, Adela of Hamaland. By 996, Liutgard was dead, and he had become the second husband of Countess Adela. It is difficult to be certain which lands associated with him were those of his own inheritance, and which were possessions of his wife. Bas Aarts has proposed that his maternal family were established in the area near Xanten, and in the area which later became the County of Cleves. In a document made after the deaths of Balderic and Adela listing grants made to Deutz near Cologne, he is described as "Baldericus comes de Oplathe vel Houberch", "count of , also known as Houberg". This may mean that his most well-known fort (probably at Montferland) near Elten, was from his own inheritance and not Adela's. Balderic, with permission from Adela, also founded a collegiate church at Zyfflich, where he would later be buried. Alpertus of Metz, one of the main sources for the life events of Count Balderic, described both Balderic and his rival in the region, , as two very rich "Germani" from around the Rhine. (The term Germanus was being used geographically, referring to north of the Rhine, in the eastern Frankish kingdom, in contrast to "Gaul", south of the Rhine, meaning Lotharingia.) Wichmann of Vreden married Balderic's cousin, the daughter of his uncle, the prefect Godfrey, and gained control over dowry lands in "Gaul", while Balderic, through his marriage to Adela, gained lands in Germania. However, Wichmann's lands in Lotharingia ("Gaul") remained significantly less than Balderic's, and he saw this as a limit upon his ambitions. During his life, Balderic was a political ally of Gerhard of the Moselle, Count of Metz, and also supported by Heribert the Bishop of Cologne. (en)
