Adémar (Angoulême)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adémar ( Aimar , * around 860; † April 2, 930 ) was Count of Poitou and Count of Angoulême .

Life

He was the son of Count Emenon of Poitou, who had to leave Poitiers in 839, became Count of Angoulême in 863 and died in 866 when Adémar was still a minor.

Emenon's successor in Angoulême was not Adémar, but Vulgrin I , who became the progenitor of the now long ruling count family. When Adémar grew up, he turned against Ebalus Manzer , Count of Poitou since 890, whom he besieged unsuccessfully in Aurillac , where the young Count had sought refuge. In 892 Adémar managed to seize the city of Poitiers and the title of count. In the summer of 895 he was confirmed in this office by King Odo , and in 898 he was even recognized as Count of Limoges . It was not until 902 that Ebalus Manzer managed to recapture Poitou.

Adémar fled to his brother-in-law, Count Bernhard von Périgueux . In 916, after the death of his other brother-in-law, Count Alduin I of Angoulême , he ruled Angoulême for the young Count Guillaume II. Taillefer . He died on April 2, 930 and was buried in Saint-Hilaire-de-Poitiers .

Adémar was married to Sanchia of Angoulême, daughter of Count Guillaume I and his wife Regilindis. The marriage remained childless. Sanchia died on April 4 of an unknown year from 917, but before Adémar and was buried in Saint-Cybar in Angoulême. Ademar von Chabannes reports that she was subjected to an assassination attempt by Vice Count Lambert von Marcillac and his brother Arnold, about whose success or failure nothing is known, but also that Lambert and Arnold were killed by Bernard in revenge.
