Hedwig (c.?778 \endash 19 April 843) was a Saxon noble woman, the wife of Count Welf and mother-in-law of Emperor Louis the Pious through his marriage to Judith, her daughter.
She was possibly born at Altdorf in the Frankish lands of Alamannia (present-day Germany). According to Bishop Thegan of Trier, she was a member of the Saxon high nobility, the daughter of Count Isambart. She had a sister, Adalung des Franken, half-brother Hunfrid I de Recia e de Istria, and a brother Guelph, Count of Andech.
In her later life (about 826) she appears as abbess of Chelles near Paris, however, it is uncertain if she had already become a widow by then.
Hedwige married Dux Welf Ier DE BAVIÈRE , Comte d'Altdorf et de Ravensbourg before 797. (Dux Welf Ier DE BAVIÈRE , Comte d'Altdorf et de Ravensbourg was born in 778 and died on 3 Oct 825.)
