Emmo, Count Of Hesbaye
Count Emmo, Immo or Immon, was the name of at least one important Lotharingian nobleman in the 10th century, described by medieval annalists as a cunning strategist. Various life events of a nobleman of this name were recorded, although historians differ about exactly which records refer to the same person or people. The first record claimed for him shows him as a young noble granting land to a new vassal in the Condroz region in 934, a member of the entourage of Duke Gilbert of Lotharingia. During the revolt of Gilbert which ended at the Battle of Andernach in 939, he switched sides. After the revolt he was personally associated with the fort at Chèvremont, near Liège. It becomes difficult later in Immo's life to be sure that all records mentioning a count of this name are referring to the same person. Condroz 934 Kurth (1898) and Dierkens (1988) claimed that the first record of "Comte Immon" is in 934, where he appears in Waha, in Marche-en-Famenne as the brother of a Wibert, ...

Before him one more count is known with confidence, Count Giselbert (or Gilbert), but it is not certain that Giselbert was Emmo's father. Verhelst for example has proposed that he was his uncle, and that Giselbert's brother Count Arnulf was father of Emmo and also a count of Loon. His mother is named clearly as Ludgarde of Namur, a sister of Albert the count of Namur, in a work about the life of her cousin, Bishop Arnulf of Soissons. On several occasions, Emmo and his brother Otto were jointly referred to as counts of Loon, though Otto's descendants became counts of the neighbouring castle of Duras. Emmo's family was probably descended from the 10th century families who, like them, had the rank of count in the local Hesbaye region. In 966 the lord of Gelmen was also named Count Immo. As shown by Verdonk, Emmo married Suanhildis, who was p ...
