Abbot Of Gembloux
Gembloux Abbey was a Benedictine abbey in Wallonia near the town of Gembloux in the province of Namur, Belgium. Since 1860, its buildings host the University of Liège's Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech faculty and campus (previously known as Agronomical University of Gembloux). Foundation The former Benedictine monastery, located about nine miles north-west of Namur on the river Orneau, was founded about 945 by Saint Guibert or Wibert (lat: ''Wicbertus'') and dedicated to Saint Peter and the martyr Saint Exuperius. Saint Guibert was assisted in the erection of the monastery and the selection of its monks by Erluin, who had resigned a canonry to become a monk. Some of Guibert's relatives challenged the legality of the monastic foundation on the grounds that the monastery was built on land of the Imperial fisc, which had been given in fee to Guibert's ancestors and could not be alienated without imperial authority. Emperor Otto I summoned Guibert and Erluin to his court, but was so ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Erluin Of Cambrai
Erluin or Erlwin (died 1012) was the bishop of Cambrai from 995. In 1007 he acquired secular authority in the county of the Cambrésis from the Emperor Henry II. Erluin studied in the famous school of Liège, where he became archdeacon under Bishop Notker (972–1008), who procured his election to the bishopric of Cambrai. In 1006, Count Baldwin IV of Flanders invaded the Empire and captured Valenciennes. Erluin appealed to the emperor, who invaded Flanders, captured Ghent and threatened to take the city's relics, but Baldwin remained in possession of Valenciennes. Erluin also appealed to Baldwin's lord, King Robert II of France, whose troops looted Arras, but forced Baldwin to abandon Valenciennes in 1007.Steven Vanderputten and Diane J. Reilly, "Reconciliation and Record Keeping: Heresy, Secular Dissent and the Exercise of Episcopal Authority in Eleventh-Century Cambrai", ''Journal of Medieval History'', 37:4 (2011), 343–57.

Erluin I Of Gembloux
Erluin (died 987) was a Benedictine monk, the first abbot of Gembloux (946–87) and also briefly the abbot of Lobbes (956–57). Diametrically opposed accounts of his character are given by the partisans of Gembloux and Lobbes. The Abbey of Gembloux was founded on lands donated by Guibert and confirmed by King Otto I in 946. Erluin was its first abbot. He continued as its abbot even during his abbacy at Lobbes. Since 889, the royal Abbey of Lobbes had been administered on behalf of the crown by the bishops of Liège, who held the office of abbot, although the monks continued to elect their own provost (''praepositus'') per the Rule of Saint Benedict. In 956, the provost was Blitard, while the lay abbacy was in the hands of Reginar III of Hainaut, who had received his appointment from his nephew, Bishop Balderic. Through a series of manoeuvres, Reginar and Erluin got Blitard ejected from the monastery and Erluin appointed in his place, contrary to the Rule of Saint Benedict. In 9 ...

Heriward
Heriward (died 11 May 991) was the second abbot of Gembloux from 987. He succeeded his brother, Erluin I.Ursmer Berlière, ''Monasticon Belge'', vol. 1 (Maredsous, 1897), p. 17. According to Sigebert, the historian of Gembloux, in his ''Gesta abbatum Gemblacensium'' ("Deeds of the Abbots of Gembloux"), Heriward was a monk at Mont-Saint-Michel for many years before the good reputation of the brothers of Gembloux convinced him to join them. Shortly after Heriward's election, the monks decided to place themselves under the authority of the bishop of Liège. In gratefulness, the sitting bishop, Notker, granted the abbey the villa of Temploux, a vineyard and an estate a Namur. Heriward died on 11 May 991 and was buried in the abbey church of Saint-Pierre. He was succeeded by a relative, Erluin II, described as a nephew of Bishop Erluin of Cambrai Erluin or Erlwin (died 1012) was the bishop of Cambrai from 995.

History Gorze Abbey was founded in around 757 by Bishop Chrodegang of Metz, who obtained for it from Rome the relics of Saint Gorgonius. The new community at first followed his Rule, but decline later set in. The highly placed Frankish lord Bivin of Gorze (810–863), married to a daughter of Boso the Elder, functioned as lay abbot of Gorze. In 933 the premises, by then semi-derelict, were given by Adalbero, Bishop of Metz, to John of Gorze and Einald of Toul so that they could restore observance of the Rule of St. Benedict. They did so extremely successfully and the customary of Gorze soon spread to many other monasteries, [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Abbots Of Gembloux
Abbot is an ecclesiastical title given to the male head of a monastery in various Western religious traditions, including Christianity. The office may also be given as an honorary title to a clergyman who is not the head of a monastery. The female equivalent is abbess. Origins The title had its origin in the monasteries of Egypt and Syria, spread through the eastern Mediterranean, and soon became accepted generally in all languages as the designation of the head of a monastery. The word is derived from the Aramaic ' meaning "father" or ', meaning "my father" (it still has this meaning in contemporary Hebrew: אבא and Aramaic: ܐܒܐ) In the Septuagint, it was written as "abbas". At first it was employed as a respectful title for any monk, but it was soon restricted by canon law to certain priestly superiors. At times it was applied to various priests, e.g. at the court of the Frankish monarchy the ' ("of the palace"') and ' ("of the camp") were chaplains to the Merovingian an ...

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
