from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aribo I. (also Arbo ; before 850; † after 909) was count in Traungau and margrave of the Bavarian East Mark from 871 .

Life

After his predecessors, Wilhelm II and Engelschalk I , died in 871 in the fight against the Great Moravian Empire , he was appointed as his successor - probably as the husband of a sister of the two margraves. Ludwig III passed over . the sons of the fallen, which led to a military conflict that lasted for years, in which Aribo was able to assert himself by force after he had been temporarily pushed out of his office by these, so that he was reinstated in 882 .

Although he had the support of Charlemagne in this family war and even allied himself with the most powerful enemy of the empire at the time, Sventopluk , while his presumed nephews were on the side of Arnulf of Carinthia , he held his position of power until 887 when Arnulf the new king was so firmly established that his replacement was forbidden for political reasons.

Approx. In 904/905, Aribo chaired a royal commission in Raffelstetten (southern Linz ) for the creation of a new customs regulation for the Danube trade. These Raffelstetten customs regulations are the first economic document in Austria to prove the extensive and regulated trade on the Danube and in the East .

In 909 he and the Salzburg Archbishop Pilgrim I received the Traunsee Abbey ( Trunseo , in Altmünster or in Traunkirchen , not secured) from King Ludwig the child for life.

Aribo I. is considered to be the ancestor of the Aribones . His death during a bison hunt is said to have been celebrated in folk songs around 1100.
