Adalhelm (Troyes)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adalhelm (French Alleaume ; † October 892 in Turenne ) was Count of Troyes . He was a son of Emenon , Count of Poitiers and a daughter of Count Odo of Troyes.

Adalhelm was one of the counts who, in a document dated June 14, 877, shortly before the death of the emperor Charles the Bald , are named as supporters of the emperor's son Ludwig the Stammler . In 886 he followed his mother's brother as Count Palatine of Troyes. He stood by his brother Adémar when he besieged Aurillac in 892 , but was captured and died 14 days later as a prisoner in Turenne.

Adalhelm was married to Ermengarde, about whom no further information is available. Adalhelm's descendants are also not known.
