From 1029, Emperor Conrad II again waged war against Poland. Bolesław's son and successor Mieszko II lost Lusatia and finally had to renounce his claims in the 1033 Treaty of Merseburg. According to the Annalista Saxo chronicles, Theodoric played a key role in the emperor's campaign and in turn could succeed the Lusatian margrave Odo II in 1032. However, he earned the hatred of his brother-in-law Eckard II of Meissen and was killed by his henchmen, whereafter Eckard became his successor in Lusatia.
Theodoric's possessions were divided among his sons. As Count of Eilenburg, he was succeeded by his eldest son Dedi,[2] who also became Margrave of Lusatia upon the death of Margrave Eckard II of Meissen in 1046.
Marriage and issue
Dietrich II of Wettin married Mathilda, daughter of Margrave Eckard I of Meissen. They had seven children:
Dedi (ca. 1010–1075) the eldest son, who eventually became his successor as Margrave of Lusatia.
