Tassilo III, duke of Bavaria

ODILO, son of --- (-18 Jan 748, bur Hostenhoven, Kloster Gengenbach). The parentage of Odilo is not known. Einhard names "Swannhilde neptem Odilonis ducis Baioariorum" as the mother of Grifo[87]. The Continuator of Fredegar names "matrona quondam…Beletrude et nepta sua Sunnichilde"[88]. Reading these two sources together, the impression is that Odilo may have been a brother of Dukes Grimoald and Theodald. However, as shown above, all sources so far identified only name the latter two as the sons of Duke Theodo. It is assumed that Odilo was not the brother or son of Duke Hugobert, whom he succeeded, as such a relationship is not mentioned in any of the contemporary sources so far identified. It appears more likely that Odilo was related more remotely to his predecessors, but the precise relationship can only be guessed at. He succeeded in 739 as ODILO Duke of Bavaria. The Salzburg Annals record that Odilo succeeded as Duke of Bavaria in 739 following the death of "Hucbertus dux Bawarie"[89]. The Annales Ducum Bavariæ also record that "Oudilo dux" succeeded "Hucpertus dux"[90]. He married his wife without the permission of her brothers[91]. His brother-in-law Carloman invaded Bavaria, and Odilo was forced to recognise Frankish suzerainty in 744. The Annales Metenses record the death in 749 of "dux Odilo"[92]. The necrology of Regensburg St Emmeram records the death "XV Kal Feb" of "Otilo dux"[93].

m (741) CHILTRUDIS [Hiltrude], daughter of CHARLES "Martel" maiordomus of Austrasia and Neustria [Carolingian] & his first wife Chrothrudis --- (-754, bur Hostenhoven, Kloster Gengenbach). The Continuator of Fredegar names "Chiltrudis" as daughter of Charles "Martel", stating that her "wicked stepmother" incited her to joined Odilo of Bavaria whom she married without the permission of her brothers[94]. After the death of her husband, she was captured by Grifo who usurped the throne from her son[95]. After her son was restored, Hiltrude became regent in Bavaria during his minority.

Duke Odilo & his wife had one child:
1. TASSILO ([742]-11 Dec or 5 Jan after 794). Herimannus names "Tassilonem" son of "sororis suæ [=Pipinus] Hiltrudis filium"[96]. The Historia Episcoporum Pataviensium et Ducum Bavariæ records the birth in 742 of "Tassilo [II] dux"[97]. The Annales Metenses record the succession of "Tassilo filius eius [=dux Odilo]" after the death of his father in 749[98]. After the death of Tassilo's father, Grifo, brother of Pepin maiordomus of the Franks, invaded Bavaria where he was recognised as Duke but was deposed by his brother who installed his nephew as TASSILO II Duke of Bavaria[99]. Duke Tassilo swore vassalage to Pepin King of the Franks at Compiègne in 757[100]. Tassilo deserted King Pepin in Aquitaine in 763, returning to Bavaria[101]. The Salzburg Annals record that Tassilo subjugated Carinthia in 772[102]. He eventually surrendered to King Charles in 787 and renewed his oath of vassalage[103]. He rebelled again in 788, making contacts with the Avars who attacked the Franks, but was obliged by the king to be tonsured[104]. He entered the monastery of Jumièges, and finally renounced his duchy at the synod of Frankfurt in 794[105]. The necrology of Weltenburg records the death "III Id Dec" of "Thessalo dux fundator cœnobii huius"[106]. The necrology of Regensburg St Emmeram records the death "Non Jan" of "Tassilo dux et m"[107].
m LIUTBERGA [Liutpirc] of the Lombards, daughter of DESIDERIUS King of the Lombards & his wife Ansa --- (-after 788). Einhard names "Liutberga…filia Desiderii regis Langobardorum" as the wife of "Tassilonem ducem"[108]. The wife of "Tassilonis ducis" is called "filia Desiderii regis" by Einhard[109]. Named as the wife of Duke Tassilo in the Royal Frankish Annals, which describe her as "his rancorous wife … a woman hateful to God". She and her daughters became nuns when her husband was deprived of his duchy in 788[110]. Duke Tassilo & his wife had four children:

a) THEODO (8 Oct ? -after 788). The necrology of Walderdorff records the birth "VIII Id Oct" of "Theotoni filio Tassiloni ducis"[111]. The Salzburg Annals record that Tassilo baptised his son in Rome in 772, but do not name the son[112]. Named son of Tassilo in the Royal Frankish Annals, his father gave him as hostage to Charles I King of the Franks in 787[113]. His father appointed him as joint Duke of Bavaria in 777. He was tonsured with his father in 788104, and became a monk in cloister of St Maximin 788.

b) THEOTBERT . The primary source which names Theotbert as son of Duke Tassilo has not so far been identified. Monk 788.

c) daughter . The primary source which refers to the two daughters of Duke Tassilo has not so far been identified. Nun at Chelles.

d) daughter . The primary source which refers to the two daughters of Duke Tassilo has not so far been identified. Nun at Laon.
