Ingram (Franke)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ingram was a Frankish count of the late 8th century. He is best known as the father of Empress Irmingard von Hespengau , the second wife of Ludwig the Pious .

Not much is known about his life, more about his origins. Ingram comes from a noble family from the Haspengau near Liège . He was a nephew of Chrodegang , Bishop of Metz (* around 715; † 766) and thus a grandson of Chrodegang's parents Sigramn and Landrada. Landrada, in turn, is attested as the sister of the Robertin Cancor , 745/778; † after 782, and thus attested as the daughter of Robert I , 722/757; † before 764, seen.

However, this filiation creates chronological problems:

  • Irmingard (* 775/780; † 818), whose father was
  • Ingram, whose uncle was
  • Chrodegang (* around 715, † 766), whose parents were
  • Sigramn and Landrada, their father
  • Robert (* 722/757 attested; † before 764) who is more likely to be assigned to the Chrodegangs generation and can therefore not be his grandfather.

Alternatively, Schwennicke proposes a second filiation, in which Robert is replaced by his grandfather Chrodobertus (Robert), who attests from 653 to 678, but in this year 678 is already a widower. Unless a second marriage is postulated, Landrada would have been around 40 years of age or older when Chrodegangs was born, which in turn appears doubtful for biological reasons.
