Enno Edzardisna

Enno Edzardisna (also known as Enno Cirksena, Enno Attena and Enno Syardsna; c. 1380 – c. 1450) was a chieftain of Norden, Greetsiel, Berum and Pilsum in East Frisia. He was the son of the chieftain Edzard II of Appingen-Greetsiel and his wife Doda tom Brok. Enno was a pioneer of the claim of the house Cirksena to the rule over all of East Frisia, which his son finally Ulrich I formally achieved when he was made an Imperial Count in 1464.
Enno's first wife is not documented. He married his second wife Gela Syardsna of Manslagt (d. 1455), a daughter of the chieftain Affo Beninga of Pilsum. After Gela's only son from her first marriage, the chief Liudward Cirksena ("Syrtza") of Berum had died without an heir in the middle 1530s, Gela and her niece Frauwa Cirksena ("Sirtzena") were the only heirs of the Cirksena family in Berum. Enno seized the opportunity. His son Edzard from his first marriage, married Frauwa Cirksena and Enno and Edzard adopted the Cirksena family name and coat of arms, to emphasize the succession.
From the first marriage, Enno had one son and one daughter:
