Her marriage to
Conrad of Swabia is estimated to have occurred c. 1115. Her new husband was the second son of
Frederick I, Duke of Swabia and
Agnes of Germany. He was a younger brother of
Frederick II, Duke of Swabia. In 1115, Conrad was appointed
Duke of Franconia by his maternal uncle
Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor. Henry V died on 23 May 1125, and Conrad was an eligible candidate for the throne. However, Conrad supported his older brother Frederick II in the election for the new
King of the Romans. The election was instead won by
Lothair III. Conrad and Frederick II had inherited the private lands of their deceased maternal uncle Henry V, but also pressed a claim to lands gained by the crown during his reign. Lothair III also claimed the lands as the new King. Their conflict resulted in Conrad being elected
King of Germany in opposition to Lothair in 1127. Gertrud became his Queen consort. The conflict was still ongoing at the time of her death. ==Children==
