Cadolah
Cadolah (or Cadalaus) (also ''Cadolach'', ''Chadalhoh'' or ''Chadolah'') (died 819) was the Duke of Friuli from 817 to his death. He was a son of Count Berthold (Pera old) and an Ahalolfinger. He was a patron of the monastery of Saint Gall. With his brother Uuago, he donated property in the village of Wanga to the monastery by charter dated 23 October 805. He also donated property on 17 November 817, at which time he bore the title "count" (''comis'') and directed his son, Berthold, to make donations in his name after his death. By then, he had been put in charge of Dalmatia, where he was the local ruler at the time when an embassy from Constantinople passed through on their way to the court of Louis the Pious (816). Sometimes after that, probably in 817, he was created Duke of Friuli. Einhard calls him ''Cadolaum comitem et marcæ Foroiuliensis præfectum'' ("Cadolah, count and prefect of the Friulian march") in 818. Einhard later calls him ''dux Foroiuliensis'' when recording hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ljudevit Posavski
Ljudevit () or Liudewit (), often also , was the Duke of the Slavs in Lower Pannonia from 810 to 823. The capital of his realm was in Sisak (today in Croatia). As the ruler of the Pannonian Slavs, he led a resistance to Franks, Frankish domination. Having lost the war against the Franks, who were aided by Borna (duke), Borna duke of Guduscani as well Dalmatia and Liburnia, Ljudevit fled first to an unknown Principality of Serbia (early medieval), Serbian župa (a topic of historical debates), and then to the Dalmatian duke Ljudemisl, who treacherously killed him. Rebellions against the Franks In 818 Ljudevit sent his emissaries to Emperor Louis the Pious, Louis in Heristal. They described the horrors conducted by Margrave Cadolah of Friuli (800-819) and his men in Pannonia, but the King of Franks refused to make peace. Ljudevit raised a rebellion against his Frankish rulers in 819 after he was seriously accused by the Frankish court. The List of Frankish Kings, Emperor Louis the Pi ...

Baldric Of Friuli
Baldric or Balderic (''Bald icus'') was the Duke of Friuli (''dux Foroiuliensis'') from 819, when he replaced Cadolah according to Thegan of Trier in his '' Vita Hludowici imperatoris'', until 828, when he was removed from office: the last Duke of Friuli. Baldric was an imperial legate in 815, when he crossed into Zealand with an army of Saxons and Abotrites to restore the deposed King of Denmark, Harald Klak. As ruler of Friuli, Baldric continued Cadolah's war against Ljudevit Posavski (Liudovitus), the Pannonian Croat leader. He was successful in expelling Ljudevit from imperial territory. He and Count Gerold also made war on the Bulgars at the order of Bertric, the count of the palace, in 826. With George, presbyter of Venice, he escorted a hydraulic organ to Aachen in 826. In 828, Baldric was removed from Friuli for his failure to have mounted an effective defense against the Bulgars during their invasion of 827, and the dukedom was divided into four counties.Annales Regn ...

Aio Of Friuli
Aio or Haio (died after 811) was the probable Duke of Friuli between the death of Eric (799) and the appointment of Cadolah (817). He may have been preceded by another possible duke, Hunfrid, who died circa 808. Though he is not found as a duke in any contemporary or later sources, from his power in the region, he is surmised to have exercised the ducal authority during a period when no other duke is known. Aio was first granted land in the Duchy of FriuliActually, he was granted land ''in territorio Foroiulense et Vicentino atque Veronense'': "in the territory of Friuli and Vicenza, as well as Verona." by Charlemagne on 2 February 799. Charlemagne later confirmed the division of this property between Aio's sons on 7 July 809: the eldest son, Alboin or Albuin, received Friuli and Vicenza; the second, Ingobert, received land in Vicenza; and the youngest, Agisclaf, received Verona. Aio's holdings were extensive and his grants to his sons had to be confirmed by the emperor himself. A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ahalolfing Dynasty
The Alaholfings (occasionally Ahalolfings) were a noble family of Alemannia in the Early Middle Ages. They were related to the previous rulers of Alemannia, to the Bavarian Agilolfings and to the Geroldings. Their original power base was around the upper Neckar and Danube rivers. They came to possess lands in not only Alemannia, but also in Bavaria, Franconia and Italy. The Ahalolfings are divided into two groups, the older and the younger. It is not certain how the two groups are related. The older group descends from a Berthold who was the joint founder, with Hnabi, of Reichenau Abbey in 724. His most famous descendant was Cadolah, Duke of Friuli, who defended the Pannonian plains into Italy from the Avars. A certain Halaholf founded Marchtal Abbey as a proprietary monastery in the mid-8th century. His descendants gave it to the Abbey of Saint Gall in 776. In modern scholarship, the family is named after Halaholf, although in later generations the family's leading name was ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Margraves Of Germany
Margrave was originally the medieval title for the military commander assigned to maintain the defence of one of the border provinces of the Holy Roman Empire or a kingdom. That position became hereditary in certain feudal families in the Empire and the title came to be borne by rulers of some Imperial principalities until the abolition of the Empire in 1806 (e.g., Margrave of Brandenburg, Margrave of Baden). Thereafter, those domains (originally known as ''marks'' or ''marches'', later as ''margraviates'' or ''margravates'') were absorbed into larger realms or the titleholders adopted titles indicative of full sovereignty. History Etymologically, the word "margrave" (, ) is the English and French form of the German noble title (;, meaning "march" or "mark", that is, borderland, added to , meaning "Count"); it is related semantically to the English title "Marcher Lord". As a noun and hereditary title, "margrave" was common among the languages of Europe, such as Spanish an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thegan Of Trier
Thegan of Trier (or Degan of Treves) (before 800 – ca. 850) was a Frankish Roman Catholic prelate and the author of ''Gesta Hludowici imperatoris'' which is a principal source for the life of the Holy Roman Emperor Louis the Pious, the son and successor of Charlemagne. Biography Very little is known of Thegan's life; he appears to have come from a noble Frankish family in the middle Rhine-Moselle region. He may have been educated at Lorsch. All that is certain is that by 825 he was auxiliary bishop of Trier and probably '' praepositus'' of the monastery of St. Cassius in Bonn. He was also a warm friend of Walafrid Strabo, who was the earliest editor of Thegan's ''Gesta'' and divided it into chapters, just as he did with Einhard's '' Vita Karoli''. Walafrid also gave it the name by which it is known: ''Gesta et Laudes'' ("Deeds and Praise"), which he mentions in his prologue. Some poetry and a single letter from Thegan survive. This letter is written to one Hatto who was a count ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
