Geroldons

The Geroldons (also Geroldinger ) were a family of the Frankish nobility from the time of the Carolingians , who were especially wealthy in Swabia , but were of great importance in all of southern Germany. They stand out mainly because of their family ties to the Carolingians, the

with Gerold the Younger († 799), Franconian Prefect in Bavaria and brother-in-law of Charlemagne ,
culminated with his sister Hildegard († 783), wife of Charlemagne and mother Ludwig the Pious († 840),
in their position in the environment of the Empress Judith († 843), Ludwig's wife, found a continuation, and
in Irmintrud (Ermentrud) († 869), the wife of Ludwigs and Judith's son Karl des Kahlen († 877) found their degree.

The equation of Count Udo im Lahngau (attested there in 821/826) with Count Odo von Orléans (there from 828, † 834), Irmintrud's father, whose (assumed but not proven) belonging to the Geroldons and the identification of Udo / Odos as the father of Count Gebhard im Lahngau († 879) ( Jackman / Fried ), ultimately make the Geroldons the ancestors of the Konradines .

In addition, there is a presumption that Count Udalrich in Alpgau , Breisgau , Hegau , Thurgau etc. is the progenitor of the Udalrichinger , the later Count of Bregenz .
