Gisela of Friuli (also Gisla) ( c. 876 – after 23 January 913) was a medieval Italian noblewoman. She was the daughter of Berengar I of Italy and Bertila of Spoleto. [1] Through her marriage to Adalbert I of Ivrea, Gisela was countess of Ivrea, and mother of Berengar II of Italy.
Little is known about Gisela's life. Her father was Berengar I of Italy, who was margrave of Friuli and who became king of Italy during Gisela's childhood. [2] Gisela's mother was probably Bertila, Berengar's first wife, whom he married in 875. Gisela is thus presumed to have been born after 876. [1] Gisela's sister, Bertha, later became abbess of Santa Giulia in Brescia. Gisela married Adalbert I of Ivrea sometime between 898 and 905, and probably by 902/3. [3] This was a political alliance which was intended to reconcile Adalbert and Gisela's father, Berengar I of Italy. [4] Gisela and Adalbert's son, Berengar II of Italy, must have been born by 903, as by 918 he was fifteen years old, and was named count and imperial missus. [5] When Gisela died is not known: she was still alive in January 913, when her father, Berengar, issued a diploma referring to her husband Adalbert as his son-in-law (gener noster), [6] but by 915 Adalbert had married Ermengarde of Tuscany, suggesting that Gisela had died. [4]
With Adalbert, Gisela had at least two children:
