Willa of Tuscany
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Willa, daughter of Boso of Tuscany and Willa, was the wife and queen consort of Berengar II of Italy. She was the mother of Adalbert, Guy, and Conrad.
She mistreated Adelaide when Berengar held her captive for several months in 951. The chronicler Liutprand of Cremona, raised at the court at Pavia, gives several particularly vivid accounts of Willa's character.[1] After Berengar's deposition, she was held captive in a German nunnery.
