Boso The Elder
Boso the Elder (c. 800 – c. 855), also known as Boson the Elder, was a Frankish nobleman and the earliest known ancestor of the Bosonid dynasty, a prominent aristocratic family in the Carolingian Empire. He held the title of Count of Turin, and was also associated with the region of Valois. Through his children and grandchildren, Boso became the progenitor of a noble lineage that played a key role in the politics of 9th-century West Francia, Burgundy, and Provence. Life Boso was likely born around the year 800, though the exact date and place of his birth are unknown. He may have originated from the Kingdom of Burgundy or northern Italy, both of which were regions under Carolingian control at the time. Though his ancestry is uncertain, Boso likely belonged to the upper ranks of Frankish nobility. He held the title of Count of Turin, a key administrative and military center in northwestern Italy. He is also associated with the County of Valois in northern France, suggesting he ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Boso Of Provence
Boso of Provence (; 841 – 11 January 887) was the first non-Carolingian dynasty, Carolingian pretender to the royal throne of West Francia in 879, who failed to achieve wider recognition, being accepted only in Lower Burgundy and Provence, where he ruled as king from 879 to 887. Already by 882, he lost much of his Burgundian domains, and had to retreat to his remaining possessions in Provence. By ancestry, he was a Franks, Frankish nobleman of the Bosonids, Bosonid family, who was related to the Carolingians, Carolingian dynasty and previously served as a count in several south-eastern counties of the West Frankish realm. In historiography, he is stilled as King of Burgundy or King of Provence. Origin Boso was the son of Bivin of Gorze, count of Lotharingia, by Richildis, the daughter of Boso the Elder by his wife Engeltrude. His maternal aunt Teutberga was the wife of King Lothair II of Lotharingia. Boso was also the nephew of Count Boso of Valois, for whom he was named ...

Boso, Margrave Of Tuscany
Boso (; died after 940?) was a Burgundian nobleman who spent much of his career in Italy, where he became Margrave of Tuscany about 932. He ruled semi-autonomously and was a benefactor of the churches of his region. He lost his office in 936 and probably returned to Burgundy. Years in Provence Boso was the second son of Count Theobald of Arles and Bertha, illegitimate daughter of King Lothair II. His elder brother Hugh was born in 880/1. His family belonged to the highest ranks of the aristocracy of the Carolingian Empire and were related by marriage to the Carolingian dynasty and the Bosonids, the ruling family of Provence. After Theobald's death (895), Boso's mother remarried to Adalbert the Rich, then margrave of Tuscany. Boso and Hugh inherited their father's counties. After the Emperor Louis III was blinded by his foes in 905, Hugh assumed the regency in Provence and the county of Arles, while Boso took over the county of Avignon. In 907, Hugh and Boso entered Italy wit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Boso II Of Arles
Boson II of Arles (c. 928 – 965/67) was Count of Avignon from 935 and Count of Arles from 949. Around 953, Boso II married Constance, possibly a daughter of the Bivinid Charles Constantine, Count of Vienne, from whom he got two sons: Rotbold II (Roubaud), and William I (Guillaume the Liberator) (* c. 952; † 994), Count of Arles and Provence, and then Margrave of Provence. His origin is controversial, even though his life is relatively well known. Origin According to a first hypothesis, Boson II, son of Rotbold (Roubaud) or Rodboald of Agel, a ''Mâconnais'' noble is given the title of Count of Provence in 903 by Louis the Blind. The ancestors of Rotbold are unknown. Some historians consider that he could be the husband of either Ermengard, a daughter of William I, Duke of Aquitaine and Engelberga of Provence, or her maternal aunt Ermengard, one of the daughters of Boso V of Provence and Ermengard of Italy. This hypothesis is based on the fact that his ancestor be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Boso Of Merseburg
Boso of Merseburg (died 1 November 970) was the first Bishop of Merseburg in Saxony-Anhalt, and "Apostle of the Wends." Boso, a native of Bavaria, was a Benedictine monk of Saint Emmeram's in Regensburg, from where he was summoned to the court of Otto I, who, considering the conversion of the lately subjugated Wends indispensable to the security of the German Empire, sent Boso to convert them to Christianity. In the beginning Boso's mission appeared useless, because of the hatred of the Wends for the Germans who had deprived them of their liberty. Boso however studied their language in order to preach to them in their own tongue, and gradually gained their trust and respect. In 967 or 968, Boso was able to provide for the creation of three new bishoprics based at Merseburg, Meissen and Zeitz Zeitz (; , ) is a town in the Burgenlandkreis district, in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany.

Boso Of Sant'Anastasia
Boso (Italian ''Bosone'') was a Roman Catholic cardinal, priest of Sant'Anastasia al Palatino (1116–1122) and bishop of Turin (1122–1126×28). He was a frequent apostolic legate, making four separate trips to Spain in this capacity. In Spain he proclaimed a crusade to re-conquer the Balearics and held several synods to establish the Gregorian reforms. In Turin, he introduced the truce of God to curb private warfare. First mission to Spain Boso was probably from the Piedmont region of northern Italy, which was at the time part of the Holy Roman Empire. The Piedmontese church had connections with Spain. In 1112, the abbot of San Michele della Chiusa in the Piedmont travelled to Spain to summon its bishops to the council of Benevento being held the following year. He also tried to mediate between the warring married couple, Queen Urraca of Castile–León and King Alfonso of Aragon–Pamplona.Zelina Zafarana (1971)"Bosone"''Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani'', vol. 13 (R ...

Boso Of Santa Pudenziana
Boso (death 1178) was an Italian prelate and Cardinal of the Roman Catholic church. Origins According to the older historiography Boso was an Englishman from St Albans and nephew of Nicholas Breakspear, future Pope Adrian IV, on his mother's side. He ostensibly joined the Order of Benedictines at St Albans Abbey in the young age, and then entered the Roman Curia when his uncle Nicholas became cardinal. Shortly after his uncle’s 1154 election to the papacy, Boso was promoted to the cardinalate. This view was still accepted at the beginning of the 20th century, but subsequently was challenged by a number of scholars. Johannes M. Brixius (1912) undermined the tradition identifying him as a nephew of Adrian IV and a Benedictine monk. He showed that neither his relationship with Adrian IV nor his belonging to the Order of Benedictines is attested in any of the contemporary sources, while papal privileges for the Boso's titular church of Santa Pudenziana attached this title to the ...
