Aribo I.
Aribo I. († 1001 / 1020 ) from the House of Aribonen , was Count in Chiemgau and Leobengau , from 985 Palatine of Bavaria .
The Aribones were one of the most powerful families in what was then Bavaria. They held the counties in the lower Salzburggau and Isengau , and their possessions extended over Bavaria , Carinthia and Styria .
Aribo was the son (or grandson) of Count Chadalhoch / Kadalhoh in Isengau († 951/53) and, through his marriage to Adala (a cousin of Emperor Heinrich II ), son-in-law of Count Palatine Hartwig / Herwicus I († 985). Aribo himself was according to Emperor Otto III. closely related by blood to the later Emperor Heinrich II (note anno 999).
Aribo is first mentioned in a document soon after 958, as a vassal of Archbishop Friedrich I of Salzburg. In 972/76 he appears in an exchange deal with Archbishop Friedrich. He was a friend of Emperor Heinrich II and felt close to Saint Wolfgang of Regensburg .
Aribo was wealthy in the county of Leoben , in the Hengistgau and in the Kroatengau in the county of Hartwigs. He followed Hartwig in 985 as Count Palatine, founded the Seeon Abbey in Chiemgau in 994/999 as a house monastery (formerly Burg Bürgeli). He was able to win relics of St. Lambert of Liège , who is the patron saint of the house.
In 994, Archbishop Hartwig of Salzburg, Brother Adalas, and Aribo at Piebing ( Straubing area ) were shipwrecked on the Danube and then helped to transfer the body of Bishop Wolfgang, who had died the day before, to Regensburg.
From 1000 he appears as Vogt of the Salzburg possessions in Lavanttal .
In 1000/1020, shortly before his death, he and his wife Adala approved the foundation of Göss Monastery by their son, Deacon Aribo . Göss, the oldest monastic settlement in Styria , was built on an estate that King Ludwig had given the child to the Aribones in 904. The first abbess in 1020 was Kunigunde's daughter, and the abbey was handed over to Emperor Heinrich II in 1020 (see Imperial Abbey ).
