Pippin I (Aquitaine)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pippin I (* 797 ; † November 13 , according to another source: December 13, 838 ) was King of Aquitaine from 814 to 838.

Life

Pippin was the second son of Ludwig I the Pious from his first marriage to Irmingard von Hespengau . In August 814, his father assigned him to Aquitaine as part of the empire, in which he was able to maintain a certain political independence, which was particularly evident at the coronation of his son Pippin II .

In 822 he married Ringart (Hringard) or Ingeltrud, the daughter of Count Teudbert von Madrie ( Arnulfinger ), with whom he had two sons, Pippin II , who was his successor in Aquitaine, Karl (* probably 825/830, † June 4, 863), who became Archbishop of Mainz on March 8, 856 . Pippin defied the advice of his advisor Berengar of Toulouse and rose up in 830 with his brother Ludwig the German and with the support of Bernard of Septimania against the father. In 832 he was defeated by the imperial troops at Limoges and exiled to Trier ; he escaped his guard and joined the uprising of 833, which ended on the Liesfield with the deposition of his father.

The behavior of his eldest brother Lothar in the period that followed caused Pippin to change sides and pursue the reinstatement of his father, which came about on March 1, 834. Pippin died almost five years later and was buried in Sainte-Radegonde in Poitiers .
