Sa famille [modifier]

En tant que fils aîné, Luitfrid succède à son père Adalbert d'Alsace en 722. Il est le petit-fils d’Etichon-Adalric d'Alsace, le neveu de sainte Odile et le frère d’Eugénie d'Alsace.

Adalbert, son père, a construit la résidence royale de Koenigshoffen et les abbayes de Honau et de Saint-Étienne de Strasbourg, mais aussi le monastère de Wissembourg[2]. Ses parents, Adalbert d'Alsace et Gerlinde de Pfalzel sont inhumés dans l’abbaye Saint-Étienne.

-1. Rhutard de Nordgau, comte du pagus septentrionalis qui comprend la plus grande partie de la Basse-Alsace jusqu à la Lauter et de l’Ortenau, sur la rive droite du Rhin. Il épouse Hirmensinde. Il est appelé duc comme fils de duc, selon la courtoisie ordinaire de ces temps. Il fonde et dote plusieurs abbayes surtout celles de Gengenbach et Schwarzach (Bade-Wurtemberg) et meurt le 28 janvier 765, sans enfants, ce qui l’engage à léguer la marche d’Ettenheim (Bade-Wurtemberg) à l’évêché de Strasbourg.

Title: Duke of Alsace

Duke of Alsace

Liutfrid, Leodefred, Leudefred, or Leudefrid (died probably 742) was the Duke of Alsace, the third in a line of Etichonid dukes dating back to circa 670. He succeeded his father Adalbert in 723.

In the 720s he made his younger brother Eberhard count of the Sundgau. He made his court at Strasbourg, where he patronised the monastery of Weissenburg in seven separate donations between 734 and his death. Liutfrid was on good terms with the bishop of Strasbourg, Heddo, a partisan of Charles Martel.

Liutfrid was probably a supporter of Martel in his wars with the Alemanni across the Rhine. He disappears from the records in 742, along with his son Hildfrid, and presumably they died fighting for the Carolingians, for their last charter is dated to the first year of the reign of Carloman, son of Charles Martel. No duke was appointed to succeed the heirless Liutfrid. He had two wives, probably both Alsatian: Hiltrudis (Hiltrude[e]) and Theutila.
