Helgaud (Montreuil)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helgaud († 926 ) was a count of Montreuil in the 9th and 10th centuries.

He was probably identical to the abbot of Saint-Riquier of the same name , who succeeded the Welf Rudolf, brother of Empress Judith , who died in 866 in this office. In 925 Helgaud was involved in the fighting against the Normans under Rollo near Eu . In the following year he fought alongside King Rudolf against the Normans of Ragenold in front of Arras and was killed in the process.

Helgaud had three sons:

  • Herluin († July 13, 945), Count of Montreuil
  • Erard, lord of Ham
  • Lambert († fallen against the Normans after 945)
