Ingerman Of Hesbaye
Ingerman (Ingram, Enguerrand) (c. 750-818), was a Frankish noble and Count of Hesbaye, son of a brother of Saint Chrodegang, the Bishop of Metz and therefore grandson of Sigramnus of Hesbaye. Life Ingram came from a high noble family from Haspengouw near Liège. He was a nephew of Chrodegang, Bishop of Metz. Ingerman married Rotrude, of unknown parentage. Ingerman and Rotrude had one daughter: * Ermengarde. She married into the Frankish royal family, the Carolingians and was the first wife of King Louis the Pious, Son of Charlemagne. Primary sources mentioning Ingoram There seems to be only one primary source directly mentioning Ingoram. In a medieval life story of Emperor Louis the Pious, by Thegan of Trier, Louis's wife Ermengarde is said to be a daughter of the noble duke Ingorammus, who was son of a brother of Hruotgangi "sancti pontificis", or in other words Saint Chrodegang. Chrodegang in turn was named in one medieval record as having parents who were nobles from Ha ...

Counts Of Hesbaye
The ''pagus'' or '' gau'' of ''Hasbania'' was a large early medieval territory in what is now eastern Belgium. It is now approximated by the modern French- and Dutch-speaking region called Hesbaye in French, or ''Haspengouw'' in Dutch — both being terms derived from the medieval one. Unlike many smaller ''pagi'' of the period, ''Hasbania'' apparently never corresponded to a single county. It already contained several in the 9th century. It is therefore described as a "" (large gau), like the Pagus of Brabant, by modern German historians such as Ulrich Nonn. The Hesbaye region was a core agricultural territory for the early Franks who settled in the Roman ''Civitas Tungrorum'', which was one of the main parts of early Frankish Austrasia, and later Lotharingia. The region was also culturally important, a central part of what is referred to in art history as the Mosan region. It contained a substantial Romanized population and the seat of a large bishopric, that played a role in co ...

Life Ermengarde was the daughter of Count Ingerman of Hesbaye and Rotrude. About 794 Ermengarde married Louis the Pious, son of Charlemagne, who since 781 ruled as a King of Aquitaine. He had already fathered two children, and Ermengarde may have been his concubine. Ermengarde gave birth to six children: * Lothair I (795–855), born in Altdorf, Bavaria * Pepin I of Aquitaine (797–838) * Berta, born c. 799 * Rotrude, born about 800 * Hildegard, born c. 802, abbess of Notre-Dame in Laon * Louis the German (c. 805 – 876), King of East Francia Charlemagne initially intended to divide his Carolingian Empire between Louis and his brothers Pepin and Charles, who nevertheless died in quick succession in 810/11.

Carolingian Dynasty
The Carolingian dynasty ( ; known variously as the Carlovingians, Carolingus, Carolings, Karolinger or Karlings) was a Franks, Frankish noble family named after Charles Martel and his grandson Charlemagne, descendants of the Pippinids, Arnulfing and Pippinid clans of the 7th century AD. The dynasty consolidated its power in the 8th century, eventually making the offices of mayor of the palace and ''dux et princeps Francorum'' hereditary, and becoming the ''de facto'' rulers of the Franks as the real powers behind the Merovingian throne. In 751 the Merovingian dynasty which had ruled the Franks was overthrown with the consent of the Papacy and the aristocracy, and Pepin the Short, son of Martel, was crowned King of the Franks. The Carolingian dynasty reached its peak in 800 with the crowning of Charlemagne as the first Holy Roman Emperor, Emperor of the Romans in the West in over three centuries. Nearly every monarch of France from Charlemagne's son Louis the Pious until the pen ...

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 ...

8th-century Frankish Nobility
The 8th century is the period from 701 (represented by the Roman numerals DCCI) through 800 (DCCC) in accordance with the Julian Calendar. In the historiography of Europe the phrase the long 8th century is sometimes used to refer to the period of circa AD 660–820. The coast of North Africa and the Iberian Peninsula quickly came under Islamic Arab domination. The westward expansion of the Umayyad Empire was famously halted at the siege of Constantinople by the Byzantine Empire and the Battle of Tours by the Franks. The tide of Arab conquest came to an end in the middle of the 8th century.Roberts, J., '' History of the World'', Penguin, 1994. In Europe, late in the century, the Vikings, seafaring peoples from Scandinavia, begin raiding the coasts of Europe and the Mediterranean, and go on to found several important kingdoms. In Asia, the Pala Empire is founded in Bengal. The Tang dynasty reaches its pinnacle under Chinese Emperor Xuanzong. The Nara period begins in J ...
