Thuringbert, Count Of Hesbaye
Thuringbert (735–770), Count of Hesbaye and Count of Wormsgau, was a brother of Cancor, Count of Hesbaye and thus possibly a son of Cancor's mother Williswinda and perhaps her late husband Robert The name Robert is an ancient Germanic given name, from Proto-Germanic "fame" and "bright" (''Hrōþiberhtaz''). Compare Old Dutch ''Robrecht'' and Old High German ''Hrodebert'' (a compound of ''Hrōþ, Hruod'' ( non, Hróðr) "fame, glory ....

Counts Of Hesbaye
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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cancor
Cancor (died 771) was a Frankish count associated with Lorsch Abbey. He was son of a noble lady Williswinda. As her only known husband before she was widowed was named Robert, it has been proposed that Cancor was son to Robert I, Count of Hesbaye, who was also alive in the 8th century. In 764, together with his widowed mother Williswinda, Cancor founded Lorsch Abbey as a proprietary church and monastery on their estate, ''Laurissa'' (Lorsch). They entrusted its government to Cancor's cousin Chrodegang, Bishop of Metz. Chrodegang dedicated the church and monastery to Saint Peter and became its first abbot. The founders later enriched the new abbey by further donations. In 766, shortly before his death, Chrodegang resigned as Abbot of Lorsch owing to his other important duties as Bishop of Metz. He then sent his brother Gundeland, another nephew of Cancor, to Lorsch as his successor. According to one source, Cancor was probably related to the Robertians. His father's name may have b ...

Robert I, Count Of Hesbaye
Robert I or Rupert (697 – 758), was a count in the Hesbaye region and Duke of Neustria. His father's name is known to be Lambert. He was a count palatine under Childeric III. Robert married Williswinda, daughter of Adalhelm, Grundherr im Wormsgau. Robert and Williswinda had three children: * Cancor (d. 771), Count of Hesbaye and Rheingau * Anselm (killed in battle in Roncesvalles, Spain, 778), Count Palatine * Thuringbert Upon his death in 758, Robert was succeeded as count by his brother-in-law Signramnus, probably prior to his son Cancor coming of age. 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 Hasba ...

Robert Of Hesbaye
Robert II (Rodbert, Chrodobert) (died 12 July 807) was a Frankish nobleman who was count of Worms and of Rheingau and count of Hesbaye around the year 800. It has been proposed that he is the father of Robert III of Worms, and the earliest-known male-line ancestor of the French royal family, the so-called Capetians (including the Valois and the Bourbons), and of other royal families which ruled in Portugal, Spain, Luxembourg, Parma, Brazil and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. Possible ancestry Robert was probably the son of Thuringbert of Worms and Rheingau, and thus a grandson of Robert I, Duke of Neustria (c. 697–748). An alternate theory has him as the son of Robert, son of Thuringbert. It is also possible that Ingerman of Hesbaye and Cancor were the brothers of Robert of Hesbaye, and Landrada, mother of Saint Chrodegang, archbishop of Metz, is likely to have been his sister.
