About Theoderic

iii) [THEODERIC . “Carlomannus…Rex” restored property “villam Taniacum” to the church of Autun, at the request of “Richardi Comiti Augustodensis”, by charter dated 1 Dec 880, the text ending with “Theodoricus Comes ambasciavit”[562]. Abbo's Bella Parisiciæ Urbis names "Teoderici procerum ast Aledramni" as famed at the siege of Paris in 886[563], although it is not certain that this refers to the same person as the following passages. The Annales Vedastini record that "Theodericum comitem" was sent to Italy to invite "imperatorem Karolum" to take control of the kingdom of the West Franks after the death of Carloman in 884[564]. The Annales Vedastini record that "Theodericus comes" was a main supporter of the candidature of "Odonem" as king of France in 888[565]. The editor of the MGH SS compilation suggests that this was the same person as "Theodericus camerarius" who had been awarded "comitatum Augustodunensem" in 878 at "concilio Trecensi" which decided the redistribution of the assets of "Bernardo Gothiæ marchione", and as the Theoderic who possessed "castrum sancti Quintini" in 895[566]. The Miracula Sancti Huberti record that "Comitatum Arduennensem agebat Theodericus", in a passage that appears to be datable to the early 10th century[567]. Settipani suggests that he and his brother were sons of Adelramn [II][568].
