Robert (archbishop Of Trier)
Robert, also spelled Ruotbert or Rotbert (died 19 May 956), was the archbishop of Trier from 931 until his death. He played a leading role in the politics of both Germany and France, and especially of the Lotharingian territory in between. He was a patron of scholars and writers and a reformer of monasteries. Rise If Robert was the canonical age of thirty when elected bishop, he would have been born in 901 or earlier. This is most likely, since he was already the chancellor of the see of Trier under his predecessor, Rudgar. (In 938 he granted a lifetime ''precaria'' to his predecessor's niece, Ada, and her two sons.) Robert was originally from the Batavian region, perhaps a member of the Saxon nobility.

Robert was described by some records as a kinsman of Bruno the Great, a member of the Ottonian ro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
