Raganar (Frankish Count)
Raganar (Reginar, Reiner) (died 8 October 876), Frankish Count. Raganar was a vassal of Charles the Bald and fought in many of Charles' campaigns. The precise counties that Raganar ruled are uncertain but are known to have been south of Thérouanne. In the Capitulary of Servais, part of District (''Missaticum'') 4 is identified as "the counties of Reginar". This district, with Thérouanne as its capital and bishopric, stretched south for about 100 km. These counties are the ones which were most certainly under Raganar. Because of the locality of District 4 and the uncertainty of rule in the 9th century, it is likely that these counties included part of Hesbaye. Raganar participated in Charles' 876 campaign against his nephew Louis the Younger. He was standard-bearer during the Battle of Andernach, where he was killed along with a Count Jerome. Numerous other counts as well as Bishop Gauzlin were captured. Onomastics would suggest that Raganar was somehow related to Count Me ...

Charles the Bald (french: Charles le Chauve; 13 June 823 – 6 October 877), also known as Charles II, was a 9th-century king of West Francia (843–877), king of Italy (875–877) and emperor of the Carolingian Empire (875–877). After a series of civil wars during the reign of his father, Louis the Pious, Charles succeeded, by the Treaty of Verdun (843), in acquiring the western third of the empire. He was a grandson of Charlemagne and the youngest son of Louis the Pious by his second wife, Judith. Struggle against his brothers He was born on 13 June 823 in Frankfurt, when his elder brothers were already adults and had been assigned their own ''regna'', or subkingdoms, by their father. The attempts made by Louis the Pious to assign Charles a subkingdom, first Alemannia and then the country between the Meuse and the Pyrenees (in 832, after the rising of Pepin I of Aquitaine) were unsuccessful.

Thérouanne
Thérouanne (; vls, Terenburg; Dutch ''Terwaan'') is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France. It is located west of Aire-sur-la-Lys and south of Saint-Omer, on the D 157 and D 341 road junction. Located on the river Lys. Population History At the time of the Gauls, ''Tarwanna'' or ''Tervanna'' was the capital of the Belgian tribe of the Morini. After the Romans conquered Gaul, they too made the city the capital of the ''Civitas Morinorum'' district. The origin of the name has several theories. According to the historian Malbracq, it got its name from its founder "Lucius Tauruannus", others say it is derived from "Terra avanae" The land of Oats. But this second derivation seems to be a generic used term. In the 7th century, probably around 639, Saint Audomar (Saint Omer) established the bishopric of ''Terwaan'' or ''Terenburg'', the diocese of Thérouanne, which during the Middle Ages controlled a large part of the left bank of the ...

Lothar recommended that peace and justice be secured by sending out ''missi'' to enforce the laws and help keep the peace. The Diet of Servais confirmed the decisions arrived at during the conference. The Capitulary of Servais was enacted by Charles in November 853 dividing the Franco-Burgundian portion of Charles’ realm into twelve districts (''missatica'') to enforce the measures of this agreement. According to Nelson, the twelve ''missicati'' and associated ''missi'' were: * ''Missaticum'' 1: Rheims, Voncq, Perthes, Bar-le-Duc, Chanzy, Vertus, Binson, Tardenois * ''Missi'': Bishop Hincmar f Rheims Ricuin, Engilscale * ''Missaticum'' 2: Laon, Porcien, Soissons, Orxois, Valnis * ''Missi'': Bishop Pardu ...

Meginhere was one of the witnesses of the Testament of Charlemagne, last will and testament of Charlemagne.

Meginhere married an unknown daughter of Hardrad, Frankish Count and Conspirator, Hardrad, an early conspirator against Charlemagne. They had one son: * Reginar I, Frankish Count, Reginar (Reginhere), a Frankish nobleman.

Reginar, Frankish Nobleman
Reginar (Reginhere) (died 17 April 818), Frankish nobleman, son of Meginhere, Frankish Count, Meginhere, confidant of Charlemagne, and grandson of the conspirator Hardrad, Frankish Count and Conspirator, Hardrad. Biography Reginar allied himself with Bernard, King of Italy, grandson of Charlemagne. In 817, Louis the Pious issued the ''Ordinatio Imperii'' that detailed the future of the Frankish Empire. Under this, the bulk of the Frankish territory went to Louis' eldest son, Lothair I, Lothair. Bernard received no further territory beyond th kingship of Italy, and he was to be a vassal of Lothair. This was likely the handiwork of Empress Ermengarde of Hesbaye, Ermengarde, who wanted to displace Bernard in favor of her sons. Bernard began plotting with a group of noblemen including the king’s friend Eggideo, the chamberlain Reginhard, and Reginar. Anshelm, Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milan, Bishop of Milan and Theodulf, Bishop of Orléans, were also accused of being involved. ...

Gilbert (Giselbert), Count of Maasgau was a Frankish noble in what would become Lotharingia, during his lifetime in the 9th century. The Carolingian dynasty created this "middle kingdom" and fought over it, and he was is mentioned as playing a role on both sides.

Reginar I
Reginar Longneck or Reginar I ( 850–915), la, Rainerus or ''Ragenerus Longicollus'', was a leading nobleman in the kingdom of Lotharingia, variously described in contemporary sources with the titles of count, margrave, missus dominicus and duke. He stands at the head of a Lotharingian dynasty known to modern scholarship as the Reginarids, because of their frequent use of the name "Reginar". Background Reginar was probably the son of Giselbertus, ''comes'' of the Maasgau, and a daughter of Lothair I whose name is not known (Hiltrude, Bertha, Irmgard, and Gisela are candidate names). In an 877 charter in the Capitulary of Quierzy, he possibly already appears as "Rainerus", alongside his probable father as one of the regents of the kingdom during Charles the Bald's absence on campaign in Italy. Career Reginar was lay abbot of important abbeys stretching from the Meuse ( nl, Maas) to the Moselle through the Ardennes, Saint-Servais in Maastricht, Echternach, Stavelot-Malme ...

House Of Reginar
The Reginarids (or Regnarids, Regniers, Reiniers, etc.) were a family of magnates in Lower Lotharingia during the Carolingian and Ottonian period. Their modern name is derived from the personal name which many members of the family bore, and which is seen as a ''Leitname'' of the family. At least two Dukes of Lotharingia in the 10th century belonged to this family. After a period of exile and rebellion, the two brothers who returned to power founded the first dynasties of the County of Hainault and County of Louvain. The latter were ancestors of the House of Brabant, Landgraves and later Dukes of Brabant, Lothier and Limburg. The Reginarid Brabant dynasty ended in 1355, leaving its duchies to the House of Luxembourg which in turn left them to the House of Valois-Burgundy in 1383. Junior branches of the male line include the medieval male line of the English House of Percy, Earls of Northumberland, and the German House of Hesse which ruled Hesse from 1264 until 1918 and still exis ...
