Reginbald I. (Speyer)

Reginbald (Latin Reginbaldus ; † probably 950) was Bishop of Speyer from 946 to 950 at the latest.

Life

Reginbald may have come from a noble Frankish family. In the historical literature of the 19th century, the Counts of Dillingen or Veringen, the Lords of Kyburg, Winterthur or Baden and the Margraves in Alsace are named as origin. Reginbald was a monk in the Hirsau Benedictine monastery .

His predecessor Amalrich died in 943. Reginbald was first referred to as Bishop of Speyer on March 13, 946, when Duke Konrad the Red granted him extensive rights over the city of Speyer, such as jurisdiction, mint law, customs law, market rights and others. This laid the foundation for the rule of the bishops over the city of Speyer. For the beginning of 947 Reginbald was named in a probably forged document with other bishops with King Otto I in Frankfurt. In 948 he was a participant in the great synod of Ingelheim . He probably died in 950.
