About Hugh "the Timid", count of Tours

Medilands 24 Mar 2022 Alsace Liutfried (Family of Hugues Comte de Tours)

According to Thegan, this family descended from the early 8th century dukes in Alsace (see Chapter 1.A) as he refers to the wife of Emperor Lothar as "filiam Hugi comitis, qui erat de stirpe cuiusdam ducis nomine Etih"[135]. The Miraculis Sancti Germani refers to Adelheid, daughter of Hugues Comte de Tours, as “primorum et ipsa natalium perinde titulus gloriosa”[136]. This may be hyperbole, but the wording does suggest an unusually illustrious ancestry. The precise relationship has not yet been identified but the name “Liutfried” does suggest a family connection with the earlier Alsatian ducal family. Such a connection could also explain (1) the high profile marriages of Hugues’s daughters into the imperial family and the families of some of the most prominent nobility at the Carolingian court and (2) the extent of Hugues’s property interests in Alsace which are revealed by the charter with Wissenbourg which records exchanges which he made 2 Sep 1820[137].

LIUTFRIED [I] (-after 11 Jan 813)....

HUGUES (-20 Oct 837, bur Monza).

Thegan refers to the wife of Emperor Lothar as "filiam Hugi comitis, qui erat de stirpe cuiusdam ducis nomine Etih" and in the following paragraph names her "Irmingarda"[139].
"Karolus… augustus…imperator Romanum…rex Francorum et Langobardorum" donated property "in pago Andegavino in loco Laniaco…et in pago Rodonico" to Kloster Prüm by charter dated 28 Apr 807 which names "Hugo comes"[140].
Comte de Tours: Einhard names "Haido episcopus Baslensus et Hugus comes Toronicus et Aio Langobardus de Foroiluii" as imperial missi who met the missi from Constantinople in 811[141].
The Annales Fuldenses record that the emperor sent "Haitonem Basilensem episcopus et Hug comitem Turonicum et Aio Langobardum de Aquileia" as missi to Constantinople in 811 to confirm the peace "cum Niceforo"[142].
The Gesta Francorum names "Hug comitem Turonicum" in 811[143].
Timiolus and abbot of St Julien d'Auxerre 811.
The extensive interests of Hugues in Alsace are confirmed by the following document: a charter confirms imperial agreement to an exchange of property agreed 2 Sep 820 between “Huc quondam comes” and “monasterium... Wizunburg” which specifies numerous places in Alsace[144]. The reference “quondam” is unexplained unless the document was prepared later than the date specified, either during the period which followed Hugues’s asset confiscations in [828] or after he died.
Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that Emperor Louis was met at "Compendium" by "Pippinus filius eius cum magnatis primis patris sui…Hug et Matfrido…Gotefrido"[145].
>>The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris names "Hugonem et Mathfridum comites" as missi of Pepin King of Aquitaine [in 827][146].
Wilsdorf highlights the likelihood that the failure of their campaign against the Moors in the march of Spain at this time was due to delay in Hugues and Matfried arriving with their army in time to prevent the devastation of areas around Barcelona and Girona[147]. This appears confirmed by the Vita Hludowici Imperatoris which records that the affair was submitted to an assembly at Aachen in Feb 828 which recommended the confiscation of their assets as punishment[148]. This presumably included the county of Tours, in the case of Hugues who, as noted below, was called “timidus” by Thegan.
Wilsdorf highlights the probable involvement of Hugues in the plots in [830/36], resulting from the rivalry between Emperor Louis (and his wife Judith) and the emperor’s eldest son Lothaire, which resulted in further periods of successive rehabilitation and disgrace for Hugues, culminating in his exile to northern Italy[149].
Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "Hlutharius" submitted to his father Emperor Louis I [in 836] followed by "socer eius Hug timidus"[150].
The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "Wala Corbeiensis abbas, Matfridus, Hugo, Lantbertus, Godefridus, itemque filius eius Godefridus, Agimbertus comes Pertensis…sed et Richardus" died between "Kal Sep usque ad missam sancti Martini" [in 836][151].
The Gesta Francorum records that "Lantbertus et Hugus" were among the "plureo ex primoribus Italiæ" who were killed at Ticino "837 III Kal Ian noctu octies" when "tremuisse perhibetur"[152].
The Annales Fuldenses also record the earthquake at Ticino in Italy "837 III Kal Ian" in which "plures ex primoribus Italiæ" were killed including "Lantbertus et Hugus"[153].

m AVA, daughter of --- (-4 Sep 839, bur Monza). Her marriage is inferred from the testament of her supposed son-in-law "Gerardus [comes]" who names "coniugis meæ…Berthæ…genitoribus atque parentibus…Luthardi et Grimildis atque…Hugonis et Bavæ…filiis et filiabus ipsorum"[154].

Hugues & his wife had six children:

ERMENGARDE (-20 Mar 851, bur Kloster Erstein, near Strasbourg).....

enWikipedia (17 Sep 2021) Hugh of Tours

Hugh (or Hugo) (c. 780 – 837) was the count of Tours and Sens during the reigns of Charlemagne and Louis the Pious, until his disgrace in February 828.

Hugh had many possessions in Alsace, as well as the County of Sens. He also held the convent of St-Julien-d'Auxerre. He appeared in 811 as an envoy or ambasciator to Constantinople with Haido, Bishop of Basel, and Aio, Duke of Friuli, to renew the Pax Nicephori.[1] In 821, he allied himself by marriage to the royal family; his daughter Ermengard married Louis' son Lothair. In 824, he took part in an expedition in Brittany and, in 826, he accompanied the Empress Judith to the baptism of Harald Klak in Ingelheim. His other daughter, Adelaide, married Conrad I, Count of Auxerre (died 862).[2][a] She took as her second husband Robert the Strong. She was dead by 886, when Walahfrid Strabo included her epitaph in a poem of his.

In 827, Hugh, along with Matfrid of Orléans, was commissioned by Louis to recruit an army with his son Pepin I of Aquitaine and repel the invasion of the Marca Hispanica by the Moslem general Abu Marwan. Hugh and Matfrid delayed until the threat had passed. For this he was given the nickname Timidus or the Timid. Barcelona being the greatest military accomplishment of Louis' career, the Spanish March meant much to him and Hugh and Matfrid found themselves greatly disfavoured at court. They were deposed in February of the next year.

He remained very influential as the father-in-law of Lothair. He joined Matfrid in inciting Lothair to rebellion and had all his lands confiscated in Gaul. He remained highly influential in Italy, where Lothair created him "duke of Locate" (dux de Locate). He became a benefactor of the cathedral of Monza. According to the Annales Bertiniani, he and Lambert of Nantes died during an epidemic in Italy in 837. News of their deaths—and that of Wala of Corbie in an earlier Italian epidemic in the fall of the previous year—greatly distressed Louis the Pious, but the opponents of Lothair interpreted it as divine judgement.[3][4]

Wikipedia Nederlands Hugo van Tours (edelman)

Wikipédia français Hugues III de Tours et de la Haute Alsace

He was a trusted official of Charlemagne and Louis the Pious, until his disgrace in February 828. He was an ambassador to Constantinople in 811. In 824, he took part in an expedition in Brittany and, in 826, he accompanied the Empress Judith to the baptism of Harald Klak in Ingelheim. In 827 he was one of the officials in charge of repelling a Muslim invasion led by Abu Marwan. He delayed until the threat was passed, and lost his favor at court. He was deposed in February 828. He rebelled, lost and had his lands in Gaul confiscated. However, he remained influential in Italy, where Lothair created him Duke of Locate.

Moriarty accepts his descent from Eticho, but says the early history of that family is in great confusion. The sources, he says, give a long pedigree from Eticho but offer no valid proof. Chaume suggests that he might have been son of Hugh, princeps in Burgundy. Other sources suggest that his father was Haicho, an Etichonid.

Wikipedia:

Hugo von Tours (* um 780; † 20. Oktober 837) war vermutlich ein Sohn des Grafen Haicho aus dem Haus der Etichonen und damit ein Ururenkel des Herzogs Eticho von Elsass; sicher ist, dass er ein Nachkomme Etichos war. Der Zweig der Familie, an dessen Spitze er steht, wird Liutfriden genannt.

Er hatte zunächst vor allem im Elsass Besitz, war dann unter Kaiser Ludwig dem Frommen auch Graf von Tours und vermutlich auch Graf von Sens, und damit im Besitz zweier der wichtigsten Grafschaften des Frankenreichs. Darüber hinaus war er Vogt des Frauenklosters St-Julien-d’Auxerre.

811 war er einer der kaiserlichen Gesandten Karls des Großen in Konstantinopel. 821 heiratete seine Tochter Irmingard Karls Enkel, den späteren Kaiser Lothar I. Seine Bedeutung erschließt sich auch dadurch, dass er 824 im Reichenauer Verbrüderungsbuch als erster Graf aufgeführt wird. Im gleichen Jahr nahm er an einen Feldzug gegen die Bretonen teil. 826 waren er und Graf Matfried von Orléans die Begleiter der Kaiserin Judith bei der Taufe des Dänenkönigs Harald Klak in Ingelheim.

827 führte er das fränkische Entsatzheer auf dem Feldzug gegen die Mauren im Raum Barcelona. Da sein zögerndes Vorgehen (ihm wurde der Beiname „timidus“, der Ängstliche, gegeben) das zu späte Eintreffen dieses Heers mit verschuldete, wurde er 828 auf einem Hoftag in Aachen – ebenso wie Matfried von Orléans – abgesetzt, blieb aber von großem Einfluss in der Umgebung seines Schwiegersohnes Lothar I., den er sogar gegen seinen Vater Ludwig aufgewiegelt haben soll. Nach dem Verlust seiner Güter und Ämter in Gallien trat er, weiterhin in der Gunst Lothars, als einer der wichtigsten fränkischen Adligen in Italien auf, wird sogar nach einem Königsgut, das ihm übereignet wurde, „dux de Locate“ – gemeint ist Locate di Triulzi bei Mailand – genannt.

Hugo und seine Frau Ava († um 840) hatten mindestens fünf Kinder:

   * Irmingard (* um 805, † 20. März 851) ∞ 821 Lothar I., König von Lotharingien

* Adelais (Adelheid) († nach 866) ∞ I Konrad I. Graf im Argen- und Linzgau († 863) (Welfen), ∞ II Robert der Tapfere (X 866) Graf von Paris (Robertiner)
* Liutfrid I. (* um 800/805, † 865/866) Graf von Tours, Laienabt von Münster-Granfelden ∞ NN
* Bertha (* um 805, † nach 870), ∞ 819 Gerhard II. (* 800, † 878/879) Graf von Paris, Graf (dux) von Vienne (* 800, † 878/879) (Matfriede)
* Hugo († vor 25. Januar 835) begraben in San Ambrogio in Mailand
Hugo von Tours wurde in der Kirche zu Monza begraben.

He was a trusted official of Charlemagne and Louis the Pious, until his disgrace in February 828. He was an ambassador to Constantinople in 811. In 824, he took part in an expedition in Brittany and, in 826, he accompanied the Empress Judith to the baptism of Harald Klak in Ingelheim. In 827 he was one of the officials in charge of repelling a Muslim invasion led by Abu Marwan. He delayed until the threat was passed, and lost his favor at court. He was deposed in February 828. He rebelled, lost and had his lands in Gaul confiscated. However, he remained influential in Italy, where Lothair created him Duke of Locate.

Moriarty accepts his descent from Eticho, but says the early history of that family is in great confusion. The sources, he says, give a long pedigree from Eticho but offer no valid proof. Chaume suggests that he might have been son of Hugh, princeps in Burgundy. Other sources suggest that his father was Haicho, an Etichonid.

Hugh of Tours

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hugh or Hugo (c.780 – 20 October 837) was the count of Tours and Sens during the reigns of Charlemagne and Louis the Pious, until his disgrace in February 828. He was probably a son of Count Haicho of the House of the Etichonen.

Hugh had many possessions in Alsace, including the Sens. He also held the convent of St-Julien-d'Auxerre. He appeared in 811 as an envoy or ambasciator to Constantinople with Haido, Bishop of Basel, and Aio, Duke of Friuli, to renew the Pax Nicephori. In 821, he allied himself by marriage to the royal family; his daughter Ermengard married Louis' son Lothair. In 824, he took part in an expedition in Brittany and, in 826, he accompanied the Empress Judith to the baptism of Harald Klak in Ingelheim. His other daughter, Adelaide married Conrad I, Count of Auxerre.

In 827, Hugh, along with Matfrid of Orléans, was commissioned by Louis to recruit an army with his son Pepin of Aquitaine and repel the invasion of the Marca Hispanica by the Moslem general Abu Marwan. Hugh and Matfrid delayed until the threat had passed. For this he was given the nickname Timidus or the Timid. Barcelona being the greatest military accomplishment of Louis' career, the Spanish March meant much to him and Hugh and Matfrid found themselves greatly disfavoured at court. They were deposed in February of the next year.

He remained very influential as the father-in-law of Lothair. He joined Matfrid in inciting Lothair to rebellion and had all his lands confiscated in Gaul. He remained highly influential in Italy, where Lothair created him "duke of Locate" (dux de Locate).

Lexikon des Mittelalters. FMG on the family of Hugh of Tours

Wikipedia:

Hugo von Tours (* um 780; † 20. Oktober 837) war vermutlich ein Sohn des Grafen Haicho aus dem Haus der Etichonen und damit ein Ururenkel des Herzogs Eticho von Elsass; sicher ist, dass er ein Nachkomme Etichos war. Der Zweig der Familie, an dessen Spitze er steht, wird Liutfriden genannt.

Er hatte zunächst vor allem im Elsass Besitz, war dann unter Kaiser Ludwig dem Frommen auch Graf von Tours und vermutlich auch Graf von Sens, und damit im Besitz zweier der wichtigsten Grafschaften des Frankenreichs. Darüber hinaus war er Vogt des Frauenklosters St-Julien-d’Auxerre.

811 war er einer der kaiserlichen Gesandten Karls des Großen in Konstantinopel. 821 heiratete seine Tochter Irmingard Karls Enkel, den späteren Kaiser Lothar I. Seine Bedeutung erschließt sich auch dadurch, dass er 824 im Reichenauer Verbrüderungsbuch als erster Graf aufgeführt wird. Im gleichen Jahr nahm er an einen Feldzug gegen die Bretonen teil. 826 waren er und Graf Matfried von Orléans die Begleiter der Kaiserin Judith bei der Taufe des Dänenkönigs Harald Klak in Ingelheim.

827 führte er das fränkische Entsatzheer auf dem Feldzug gegen die Mauren im Raum Barcelona. Da sein zögerndes Vorgehen (ihm wurde der Beiname „timidus“, der Ängstliche, gegeben) das zu späte Eintreffen dieses Heers mit verschuldete, wurde er 828 auf einem Hoftag in Aachen – ebenso wie Matfried von Orléans – abgesetzt, blieb aber von großem Einfluss in der Umgebung seines Schwiegersohnes Lothar I., den er sogar gegen seinen Vater Ludwig aufgewiegelt haben soll. Nach dem Verlust seiner Güter und Ämter in Gallien trat er, weiterhin in der Gunst Lothars, als einer der wichtigsten fränkischen Adligen in Italien auf, wird sogar nach einem Königsgut, das ihm übereignet wurde, „dux de Locate“ – gemeint ist Locate di Triulzi bei Mailand – genannt.

Hugo und seine Frau Ava († um 840) hatten mindestens fünf Kinder:

Irmingard (* um 805, † 20. März 851) ∞ 821 Lothar I., König von Lotharingien
Adelais (Adelheid) († nach 866) ∞ I Konrad I. Graf im Argen- und Linzgau († 863) (Welfen), ∞ II Robert der Tapfere (X 866) Graf von Paris (Robertiner)
Liutfrid I. (* um 800/805, † 865/866) Graf von Tours, Laienabt von Münster-Granfelden ∞ NN
Bertha (* um 805, † nach 870), ∞ 819 Gerhard II. (* 800, † 878/879) Graf von Paris, Graf (dux) von Vienne (* 800, † 878/879) (Matfriede)
Hugo († vor 25. Januar 835) begraben in San Ambrogio in Mailand Hugo von Tours wurde in der Kirche zu Monza begraben.
