Emenon

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emenon († June 22, 866 in Rancogne ) was Count of Poitou and later Count of Angoulême .

Life

On June 9, 828, Emenon, apparently as Count of Poitou, was the chairman of the court councilor that King Pippin I of Aquitaine held in Chasseneuil . He stood at Pippin's side in his fight against Emperor Louis the Pious , and after Pippin's death in 838 he transferred support to his son Pippin II : Emenon proclaimed Pippin II King of Aquitaine in opposition to Emperor Ludwig, who then invaded Poitou and 839 Emenon and his brother Bernhard drove out. Emenon found refuge in Angoulême with Turpion , another brother.

Between 845 and 848 he appeared as Count of Périgueux , later as Count of Angoulême, where he followed his brother Turpion after he fell against the Vikings on October 4, 863 .

He himself died in the third year of his reign on June 22nd, 866 in Rancogne Castle from injuries sustained in the battle against Landri, the Count of Saintes , at Bouteville Castle . Emenon was buried in the Saint-Cybard church in Angoulême .

family

According to the reports of his escape from Poitiers, Emenon had two brothers, Bernhard and Turpion. He was married to a daughter of Count Odo von Troyes and his wife Wandilmodis, with whom he had at least two children:

  • Ademar , who was still a minor when his father died and who later became Count of Poitou, and
  • Adalhelm , who followed his maternal uncle as Count of Troyes.

Other sources indicate that he entered into another marriage. This wife was Sancha, daughter of Sancho and sister of Count Aznar of Vasconia ( House of Gascon ); with her he had a son:

It is not clear who Emenon's parents were. Michel Dillange sees him as the son of Dietrich II, Count von Autun , or his brother Adalhelm (Alleaume), which would assign him to the Gellones . At Schwennicke Bernhard von Gothien , the son of Emenon's brother Bernhard von Poitiers, is expelled as Adalhelm's grandson, which in view of Bilichilde as mother or wife and Rorico von Maine as maternal grandfather forces Adalhelm to be paternal grandfather. At web.genealogie , Emenon is referred to as the son of Rothaire / Rohier / Rathier / Ithier Count of Limoges , X 841 and a daughter of Pippin I of Aquitaine, which is not possible in terms of time (Pippin married 822) (Ratger was probably a son-in-law Louis the Pious).
