Hugbert (Bavaria)
Hugbert (also Hucbert , Hucperth ; † 736) from the Agilolfinger family was Duke of the Bavarians in Baiern from 724 to 736 and the last agnate of the Agilolfingers.
Life
Hugbert was the son of the Bavarian Duke Theudebert and the Regintrud , who in turn descended from the family of the Hugobertines and Irmina von Oeren as a daughter of the Seneschal and Count Palatine Hugobert .
After the death of Hugbert's father, there was disagreement about the successor. Karl Martell tried to take advantage of it and to get the insubordinate duchy more under control. Hugbert was forced to surrender parts of his duchy, and for a time Bavarian laws were enacted in the name of the Merovingian king Theuderich IV (king 721-737).
Hugbert put his predecessor's plan into action to create an independent Bavarian church by using Boniface to Christianize the country and bringing the missionary bishop Korbinian back to Freising. Hugbert entrusted the Salzburg Peterskloster with donations in the Rottachgau with economic and lordly tasks and supported the establishment of an aristocratic own monastery in Rotthalmünster . A Wilhelm ( Uuillihelm ) has built a cell there for nuns who must have come from the Nonnberg monastery . Wilhelm passed on his inheritance to the Marien and Michaelskirche of the monastery, which had to be confirmed again under Odilo . A border inspection by potestativi viri and the nobilis vir Madelhelm of a larger forest on the Salzach that belonged to the Albina also contributed to the consolidation of his power ; here for the first time in the written sources, members of an upper class, who are referred to as aristocrats, come across. Hugbert also made donations to the Church of St. Stephen in Passau (three Mansen in Ering and 15 mansae dominicales in Kirchham ), as well as to the diocese of Regensburg .
