      === Note ===: Married #2 Hugh of Arles, Count of Provence in 912. Wikip e d i a : E verything else in her genealogy is more or less uncertain. '

      These two kinships enjoy some indicative support from near-contemporary s o u r c e s. The first-mentioned kinship would make her a sibling, at least h a l f - s ister, of King Louis III of Italy. The second would mean she was a n a n c e s tress of the last independent Burgundian royal house, and throug h i t a n c e stress of last Ottonian emperors, of the last Carolingian king o f F r a n c e, of a number of dukes of Swabia, of the later Guelph dynasty, a n d o f t h e S alian Imperial House, as well as of practically all European r o y a l f a milies since High Middle Ages.
      : Furthermore, genealogies that are regarded mostly as wishful thinking b y c r i t i cal research, have for centuries claimed that:: ? Guilla's mothe r w a s E r m engarde of Italy, one of the heiresses of last Carolingians, w ho w a s d a u ghter of Emperor Louis II, King of Italy, and became the last o f t h e w i v es of king Boso of Lower Burgundy. This however is fairly unli ke l y , a s E rmengarde's marriage with king Boso took place in 978, a date w h e n G u i lla was likely already born.: ? Guilla was the only wife of king R u d o l f I o f Upper Burgundy. This is not certain, as she possibly was yet i n a g e o f b e ing capable of child-bearing at her marriage in 912 with the c o u n t H u gh, the future Italian king; and her first husband, the king Rud o l f I , i s m entioned of having several children already in 888 (who thus c o u l d h a ve been born of an earlier, to us unknown, wife of Rudolf).: Que e n G u i l la's date of death, after 912 but before 924, is between those y e a r s b e cause of a charter (expressing her be dead) dated in the latter y e a r . A f ter her death, in 926, her widower, count Hugh, took over the ki n g d o m o f Italy from Rudolf II of Burgundy (who was either stepson or ow n s o n o f G u illa).
