Gebhard im Lahngau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gebhard (832-879 testifies) is considered the ancestor of the race of Conradines was Graf in Niederlahngau and 845 founder of St. Severus in chain Bach / Gemünden in the Westerwald . It is believed that he was a son of Count Udo (the Elder) in the Lahngau, better known as Odo von Orléans , through whom the Konradines represent a younger branch of the Frankish family of the Geroldons .

Gebhard was known as a loyal follower of Emperor Ludwig the Pious . This led to the fact that he and Abbot Grimald von Weißenburg were sent to Aachen by his son Ludwig the German in January 834, when Ludwig had been deposed for the second time , but without delivering their messages due to the guard of the old emperor can. In 839 it was Louis the Pious himself who appointed Gebhard, Bishop Badurad and Margrave Bernhard of Toulouse as his ambassadors during the negotiations in Blois with his son Lothar . However, the relationship of trust between Gebhard and Ludwig the German was heavily strained when Gebhard's sons rose against the king in 861, were deposed and fled to see Charles the Bald . In 879 he entered the Gemünden Monastery

Gebhard had four sons:

Since Udo, Berengar and Waldo are referred to as nepotes of the co-convicted Nordgau- Graf Ernst in 861, when they were convicted of infidelity by King Ludwig the German , it is assumed that Gebhard married a sister of Count Ernst who was not known by name was.
