Chadaloh I. (Alaholfinger)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chadaloh I (also Kadaloch , Kadolach , Cadolah , Cadolach , Chadolah , Chadalhoh , Chadolt , Latinized Cadalaus ) († October 31, 819 ) was the eldest son of Bargrave Perahthold II (also Peratolt, Perttolt, Berthold) from the family Ahalolfinger and his wife Gersinda. He probably followed his father as Count in the Baar (or parts of it) before he was first transferred to Dalmatia by Emperor Ludwig the Pious and then received the Margraviate of Friuli. His son Berthold III. was count in the Baar from 820, another son was Chadaloh II.

Chadaloh I. together with his brother Wago gave goods (including Erbstetten ) in the Ostbaar to the St. Gallen monastery in Zell near Riedlingen on October 23, 805 . “The two brothers, however, retained a right of usufruct - against annual interest - and a right of repurchase to each other - if the other died. Only in the event that both die without an heir, the listed property should go to the monastery. ”In 817 he made donations to the monastery again.

In the year 816 Chadaloh I was announced as the imperial envoy in Dalmatia, which had temporarily come under Frankish rule since 806. In 817, probably after the death of the Longobard Aio of Friuli , Louis the Pious appointed him margrave and prefect of the Friuli region, which had become a mark of the Franconian Empire under Charlemagne in 774 and, since 776, mostly Franconian, Alemannic by margraves appointed by the emperor or of Burgundian origin. In 818 the chronicler Einhard called him Cadolaum comitem et marcæ Foroiuliensis præfectum and in 819, after his death, called it dux Foroiuliensis .

Like other counts and margraves , Chadaloh became more and more independent during the tenure of the weak emperor Ludwig and interfered intensively in the internal affairs of the people of Pannonia and Carantania , ruled by their own tribal princes , using increasingly brutal methods. On the other hand, the Slavic prince Lyudevit von Posavina complained to Louis the Pious as early as 818 . Since this complaint was in vain, Ljudevit rose up in 819 with the Posavians in an uprising, which was also joined by parts of the Carantans and the Timochans (Timočani). Chadaloh undertook an unsuccessful campaign against Ljudevit in July 819, in which the Prince ( Knjas ) Borna of Dalmatia and Liburnia supported him. He died on October 31, 819 of a fever that he got during this campaign . His successor as Margrave of Friuli was Balderic of Friuli .
