Lambert I of Nantes

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lambert I of Nantes († between September 1 and November 10, 836/837) was Count of Nantes and Margrave of the Breton Mark . He took up both offices before 818 (in 806 he is referred to as Count (of Nantes) and in 818 as Margrave (of the Breton Mark)) and lost them again in 834. He went into exile in Italy and became Duke of Spoleto that same year . As the son and successor of Guido von Nantes , he was a member of the Guidonen family .

Life

In that year 818 Lambert took part in a campaign led by Louis the Pious against Morvan Lez-Breizh , who had made himself King of the Bretons . After the uprising of the new head of the Bretons, Wiomarc'h (Wihomarcus), he was the instigator of his murder in 825, after Wiomarc'h submitted in May of the same year in Aachen , but after his return began again to “his To haunt neighbors with robbery and burning as much as he could until he was surrounded and killed by Count Lantbert's people in his own house. "

During the uprising of Lothar I , the eldest son of Emperor Ludwig the Pious , he sided with the rebel. An army campaign against Lambert and Matfried , Odo's predecessor in Orléans and also a partisan of the rebellious Lothar, to whom the exemption of the areas between the Seine and Loire as far as Upper Burgundy had been mobilized, ended in June 834, poorly led by Count Odo von Orléans with a devastating defeat Odos: his army devastated the country and marched victoriously to the Breton border. There it was defeated in a bloody fight after a surprise attack by Lambert and Matfried. Odo himself fell, as did his brother, Count William of Blois, Count Wido of Maine (perhaps a brother of Lambert), Count Fulbert and the Imperial Chancellor, Abbot Theudo (Theoto) of Tours . Subsequently, Lothar's submission in Blois in June 834 meant the end of his career in the western part of the Franconian Empire for Lambert as well. He followed Lothar to Italy, who appointed him Duke of Spoleto that same year .

Lambert of Nantes died between September 1st and November 10th of the year 836 or 837 - like many other Franconian nobles - of an epidemic.
