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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cancor
Cancor (died 771) was a Frankish count associated with Lorsch Abbey. He was son of a noble lady Williswinda. Since Williswinda's only known husband before being widowed was named Robert (Rodbert), it has been proposed that Cancor was a son of Count Robert I of Hesbaye, who lived in the 8th century. Robert II of Hesbaye may have been his brother or his nephew. Together with his widowed mother Williswinda, Cancor founded Lorsch Abbey in 764, as a proprietary church and monastery on their estate ''Laurissa'' ( Lorsch). They entrusted its government to Cancor's cousin Chrodegang, Bishop of Metz. Chrodegang dedicated the church and monastery to Saint Peter and became its first abbot. The founders later enriched the new abbey with further donations. In 766, shortly before his death, Chrodegang resigned as Abbot of Lorsch (owing to his duties as Bishop of Metz) and sent his brother Gundeland, another nephew of Cancor, to Lorsch as his successor. Cancor married a noblewoman named An ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Robert I, Count Of Hesbaye
Robert I or Rupert (c. 697 – 758) was a count or duke in the Hesbaye region. His father's name is known to be Lambert. It has been proposed that this is the same Robert who married Williswinda who founded Lorsch Abbey. This Williswinda had three children: * Count Cancor (died 771) * Anselm (killed in battle in Roncesvalles, Spain, 778), Count Palatine * Thuringbert Primary sources In a charter of 741/2 which exists in several versions, wherein a Robert, son of Lambert, Count or Duke of the "''pago Hasbaniensi et Masuarinsi''", the land of Hasbanians and Masuarians, granted lands near Diest to Sint-Truiden Abbey. The third continuation of the ''Gesta Abbatum Trudonensium'', in its report of the charter, describes Robert as ''Robertus comes vel dux Hasbanie'' ("count or Duke of Hasbania"). This Robert, the ''Gesta'' says, is also the one mentioned as a Duke in the medieval biography (Vita) of Bishop Eucherius of Orléans. When Charles Martel exiled Eucherius to Cologne ...

Robert Of Hesbaye
Robert II (Rodbert, Chrodobert) (died 12 July 807) was a Frankish nobleman who was count of Worms and of Rheingau and count of Hesbaye around the year 800. It has been proposed that he is the father of Robert III of Worms, and the earliest-known male-line ancestor of the French royal family, the so-called Capetians (including the Valois and the Bourbons), and of other royal families which ruled in Portugal, Spain, Luxembourg, Parma, Brazil and the Two Sicilies. Possible ancestry Robert was probably the son of Thuringbert of Worms and Rheingau, and thus a grandson of Robert I, Duke of Neustria (c. 697–748). An alternate theory has him as the son of Robert, son of Thuringbert. It is also possible that Ingerman of Hesbaye and Cancor were the brothers of Robert of Hesbaye, and Landrada, mother of Saint Chrodegang, archbishop of Metz, is likely to have been his sister.
