Alhard (Ebrach)
Alhard († after 1244) was abbot of the Cistercian monastery in Ebrach from 1238 until his resignation in 1244 .
Life
Alhard was probably born in the second half of the 12th or first half of the 13th century. The sources are silent about the place of origin of the future abbot, and the family or any siblings are not mentioned either. Abbot Alhard is handed down as the direct successor of Abbot Engelbert and appeared in the sources for the first time in 1238. At that time, his monastery received several rights from Bishop Hermann I of Würzburg .
Two years later, in 1240, the Cisterze Ebrach received imperial protection: King Conrad IV placed the monastery under his personal protection. In the same year the property of the monastery was expanded again when the nobleman Konrad von Zabelstein donated his goods to Ebrach. In another document from 1243 Alhard reappeared before he resigned to the abbey in 1244 . His later life is unclear.
