Lambert, Count Of Hesbaye
Lambert was the father of a Frankish noble named Robert, who was described in 741 AD as a "count or duke" in the neighbouring regions of Hesbaye, in what is now northeastern Belgium, and Maasau, which stretches into what is now the Netherlands. No other record about this Lambert exists. Lambert's own life details and family remains unknown, although it has been proposed based on the use of the names Robert and Lambert that he was the son or paternal grandson of Robert II (Chrodobert II), Lord Chancellor of Francia, and a close relative of his contemporary and namesake, Saint Lambert of Maastricht. Lambert had at least one son. Other children have been proposed: * Robert I, Count of Hesbaye, count or duke in Hesbaye and Maasau * Possibly , who was possibly the mother of Chrodegang Chrodegang (; ;Spellings of his name in (Latin) primary sources are extremely varied: Chrodegangus, Grodegandus, Grodegangus, Grodogangus, Chrodogandus, Krodegandus, Chrodegrangus, Chrotgangus, Ruot ...

Robert I, Count Of Hesbaye
Robert I or Rupert (c. 697 – 758) was a count or duke in the Hesbaye region. His father's name is known to be Lambert. It has been proposed that this is the same Robert who married Williswinda who founded Lorsch Abbey. This Williswinda had three children: * Count Cancor (died 771) * Anselm (killed in battle in Roncesvalles, Spain, 778), Count Palatine * Thuringbert Primary sources In a charter of 741/2 which exists in several versions, wherein a Robert, son of Lambert, Count or Duke of the "''pago Hasbaniensi et Masuarinsi''", the land of Hasbanians and Masuarians, granted lands near Diest to Sint-Truiden Abbey. The third continuation of the ''Gesta Abbatum Trudonensium'', in its report of the charter, describes Robert as ''Robertus comes vel dux Hasbanie'' ("count or Duke of Hasbania"). This Robert, the ''Gesta'' says, is also the one mentioned as a Duke in the medieval biography (Vita) of Bishop Eucherius of Orléans. When Charles Martel exiled Eucherius to Cologne ...

Pagus Of Hasbania
The ''pagus'' or '' gau'' of ''Hasbania'' was a large early medieval territory in what is now eastern Belgium. It is now approximated by the modern French- and Dutch-speaking region called Hesbaye in French, or ''Haspengouw'' in Dutch — both being terms derived from the medieval one. Unlike many smaller ''pagi'' of the period, ''Hasbania'' apparently never corresponded to a single county. It already contained several in the 9th century. It is therefore described as a "" (large gau), like the Pagus of Brabant, by modern German historians such as Ulrich Nonn. The Hesbaye region was a core agricultural territory for the early Franks who settled in the Roman ''Civitas Tungrorum'', which was one of the main parts of early Frankish Austrasia, and later Lotharingia. The region was also culturally important, a central part of what is referred to in art history as the Mosan region. It contained a substantial Romanized population and the seat of a large bishopric, that played a role in co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Maasgau
The Maasgau, Masao, or Maasland, was an early medieval region or ''pagus'', on both sides of the Meuse (), stretching north of the city of Maastricht. In some periods there was also one or more counties (''comitates'') of this name. Attestations According to Nonn's collection of attestations: *In a letter of 633-56, from Bishop Paul of Verdun to Bishop Desiderius of Cahors the term "Masao" is used to describe a travel route of the Merovingian king Sigibert III, travelling via Maastricht from Laon to Cologne. *In a charter of 714, Susteren is described as being in the "''pagus Mosariorum''". *In a testament of 732/3 attributed to Adela of Pfalzel, a place called Scriptinas is described as being "''in pago Mosao super ripam Mosae''". *In a charter of 741/2 which is reported in two versions in Sint-Truiden records, a "count or duke of ''Hasbania''" (''comes vel dux Hasbanie'') named Robert, son of Lambert, granted lands near Diest to Sint-Truiden Abbey.

Francia
The Kingdom of the Franks (), also known as the Frankish Kingdom, or just Francia, was the largest History of the Roman Empire, post-Roman barbarian kingdom in Western Europe. It was ruled by the Franks, Frankish Merovingian dynasty, Merovingian and Carolingian dynasty, Carolingian dynasties during the Early Middle Ages. Francia was among the last surviving Germanic kingdoms from the Migration Period era. Originally, the core Frankish territories inside the former Western Roman Empire were located close to the Rhine and Meuse rivers in the north, but Frankish chiefs such as Chlodio would eventually expand their influence within Roman territory as far as the Somme (river), Somme river in the 5th century. Childeric I, a Salian Franks, Salian Frankish king, was one of several military leaders commanding Roman forces of various ethnic affiliations in the northern part of what is now France. His son, Clovis I, succeeded in unifying most of Gaul under his rule in the 6th century by ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Year Of Birth Unknown
A year is a unit of time based on how long it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun. In scientific use, the tropical year (approximately 365 solar days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, 45 seconds) and the sidereal year (about 20 minutes longer) are more exact. The modern calendar year, as reckoned according to the Gregorian calendar, approximates the tropical year by using a system of leap years. The term 'year' is also used to indicate other periods of roughly similar duration, such as the lunar year (a roughly 354-day cycle of twelve of the Moon's phasessee lunar calendar), as well as periods loosely associated with the calendar or astronomical year, such as the seasonal year, the fiscal year, the academic year, etc. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by changes in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
