INTRODUCTION

 

 

A review of the families of the princes, dukes and counts who ruled Germany in medieval times would be incomplete without documents devoted to the major archbishoprics.  The bishopric of Trier, centred on the town of Trier north-east of Luxembourg, was elevated to archiepiscopal status during the reign of Charles I King of the Franks in the late 8th century, with jurisdiction over the bishoprics of Metz, Toul and Verdun.  Under the terms of the 843 Treaty of Verdun, settling the disputes between the sons of Emperor Lous I "le Pieux", Trier and its archbishopric fell within the kingdom of Lotharingia.  Along with the archbishops of Köln and Mainz, the archbishops of Trier played an important role in the election of successive kings of Germany.  In particular, the archbishop of Trier was decisive role in electing King Konrad III in 1138[1].  By the mid-12th century, the archbishops of Köln, Mainz and Trier had firmly established themselves as the spiritual representatives in the electoral process.  Electoral procedures, the unity of the seven electors including the three archbishops, and the right of election by the majority, were laid down definitively in the Golden Bull of 1356, which is described in some detail by Leuschner[2]

 

By the judicious acquisition of land, through purchase, donation and inheritance, the three archbishoprics of Köln, Mainz and Trier consolidated a dominant temporal, in addition to ecclesiastical, position of power within their jurisdictions.  Trier held extensive territory along both sides of the river Rhine, stretching from Bonn and Coblenz in the north to Trier and Veldenz in the south, lying north-west of the counties of Sponheim and Zweibrücken.  In addition, it held numerous isolated territories scattered throughout the lower and middle Rhine basins as well as the Rheinland Pfalzgrafschaft.  The archbishops of Trier were elected mainly from prominent noble families in Lotharingia and the middle Rhine area, although as will be seen below the precise family connections of many of the archbishops cannot be traced with certainty.  The suspicion is that the reigning archbishops groomed their successors from among members of their own family, related either through the female or the male line.  If sufficient information on family relationships was available in primary source documentation, it is expected that it would reveal extensive informal "dynasties" of ecclesiasts spread across a limited number of noble families.  In the case of the archbishopric of Köln, such family connections with families in the lower Rhine basin, especially the comital families of Altena, Berg, Heinsberg, Hochstaden, Jülich, and Mark, can be demonstrated clearly.  In the case of the archbishopric of Trier, the available information is less extensive so the family connections do not emerge clearly from the source material.  It is probable that a similar pattern would emerge in relation to the more important lower level ecclesiastical appointments within each archbishopric. 

 

The present document shows the archbishops of Trier between 791 and 1418, and the bishops of Metz, Toul and Verdun.  The listings are not strictly chronological in the case of the incumbents which can be linked by family group. 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 1.    ARCHBISHOPS of TRIER 791-1418

 

 

1.         RICHBOD, son of --- (-804).  The primary source which confirms Richbod’s family origin has not been identified.  Rösch states that Hiltrud, daughter of Emperor Charles I, was the mistress (between [799/804]) of Richwin Count of Padua, brother of Richbod Bishop of Trier, who was at the court of Emperor Charlemagne between 792 and 814, and was the mother of an illegitimate son by him[3].  He cites no primary source on which this is based and no other reference has been found in the sources so far consulted.  It is possibly based on onomastic speculation as Hiltrud’s illegitimate son was called Richbod (see the document FRANKS, CAROLINGIAN KINGS).  The early counts of Padua/Padova have not been studied in Medieval Lands (NORTHERN ITALY (1) for later conti di Padova), but Einhard names "Rihwinus comes" as one of the 15 witnesses of the testament of Emperor Charlemagne dated 811[4].  It is possible that this was the same person (see FRANKS, CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY).  The name “Richwin” is found twice in mid-9th century Carolingian nobility (FRANKS, CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY) and in the late 10th century among the early ancestors of the Grafen von Ahr (LOWER RHINE NOBILITY) and in the Comtes de Charpeigne (UPPER LOTHARINGIA NOBILITY), which suggests that the family may have originated in the Rhine basin.  Abbot of Milan.  Archbishop of TrierGallia Christiana records the election in 791 of “Mediolacensis abbas Richbodus vel Richboldus”, noting a letter from Alcuin addressed to “pontificem Rigbodum Trevericæ civitatis, cognomento Macarium” and another in which Richbod is named “filium, fratrem et amicum[5].  The Gesta Treverorum lists (in order) "Richbodus…Wazzo…Hamularius Fortunatus cardinalis Romanus…Hetti abbas Mediolacensis" as heads of the church at Trier, dated to the late 8th and first half 9th century[6]Gallia Christiana records his death in 804[7]

 

 

2.         WASO (-809).  No information has been found which indicates the family origin of Waso.  The name has not been found in families studied in Medieval Lands.  Considering that Waso succeeded Richbod at Milan, it is not impossible that the two were related considering the possible inheritance of ecclesiastical positions noted in the Introduction above.  Abbot of Milan.  Archbishop of Trier: Gallia Christiana records the election in 804 of Richbod’s successor as abbot of Milan “Vaso vel Viso”, without citing the source which confirms this information[8].  The Gesta Treverorum lists (in order) "Richbodus…Wazzo…Hamularius Fortunatus cardinalis Romanus…Hetti abbas Mediolacensis" as heads of the church at Trier, dated to the late 8th and first half 9th century[9]Gallia Christiana records his death in 809[10]

 

 

3.         AMALHAR (-814, bur Trier St. Paul).  No information has been found regarding the family origin of Amalhar, but his connection with Milan may indicate a family as well as an ecclesiastical relationship with one of his predecessors.  Monk at Milan.  Archbishop of Trier: Gallia Christiana records the election in 809 of “Mediolacensis monachus Amalharius” as archbishop, citing “præcepto Ludovici Pii exarato an. 834[11].  The Gesta Treverorum lists (in order) "Richbodus…Wazzo…Hamularius Fortunatus cardinalis Romanus…Hetti abbas Mediolacensis" as heads of the church at Trier, dated to the late 8th and first half 9th century[12].  Einhard records that Emperor Charles I sent “Amalharium Treverensem episcopum et Petrum abbatem monasterii Nonantulas” to negotiate peace in Constantinople in 813 with Emperor Mikhael I, but that in 814 they were sent home by Emperor Leon V[13]Gallia Christiana records his death in 814 and burial “in æde S. Paulini[14]

 

 

[Four] siblings: 

1.         HETTO (-27 May 847, bur St Eucharius).  Abbot of Milan.  Archbishop of Trier: Gallia Christiana records the election in 814 of “Hetti vel Hetto germanus frater Warentrudis Palatiolensis abbatissæ...Mediolacensi...abbas” as archbishop[15].  The Gesta Treverorum lists (in order) "Richbodus…Wazzo…Hamularius Fortunatus cardinalis Romanus…Hetti abbas Mediolacensis" as heads of the church at Trier, dated to the late 8th and first half 9th century[16].  One manuscript of the Gesta Treverorum records that "Hetti" was buried "in monasterio sancti Eucharii" next to "Ruotgaudus eiusdem Hetti germanus"[17].  Regino records the death in 847 of “Hetti Trevirorum episcopus[18]

2.         RUOTGAUD (-bur St Eucharius).  One manuscript of the Gesta Treverorum records that "Hetti" was buried "in monasterio sancti Eucharii" next to "Ruotgaudus eiusdem Hetti germanus"[19]

3.         WARENTRUDAbbess of [Palazzuolo, Tuscany (“Palatiolensis”)?]: Gallia Christiana records the election in 814 of “Hetti vel Hetto germanus frater Warentrudis Palatiolensis abbatissæ...Mediolacensi...abbas” as archbishop[20]

4.         [--- .  As noted below, Gallia Christiana records Thetgod as “nepos” of Archbishop Hetto.  The primary source which confirms this family relationship has not been identified.  If the term is used in its strict sense of nephew, one of Thetgod’s parents was Hetto’s sibling.  However, considering the broad possible uses of nepos, the word may indicate a more remote connection.  m ---.]  [One child:] 

a)         [THETGOD [Teutgaud/Thetgaud] (-29 Sep 868).  There are two indications of Thetgod’s family origin.  Firstly, Gallia Christiana records the election in 847 of “ab Epternacensi abbate Teutgaudus, Hetti nepos...Mediolacensis abbas” as archbishop[21].  Secondly, according to Baron Ernouf, Gunther archbishop of Köln was uncle of Waldrada and Thetgaud archbishop of Trier was her brother[22].  The primary sources which confirm either of these relationships have not been identified.  Archbishop of Trier 847.  Regino records the death in 847 of “Hetti Trevirorum episcopus” and the succession of “Thietgaudus[23].  The Gesta Treverorum records that "Tietgaudus" as successor of "Hetti" in 851, adding that he was led astray ("seductus") by Lothar II King of Lotharingia and Günther Archbishop of Köln and connived in the false accusations against "Tietbergæ uxoris eiusdem Lotharii"[24]Gallia Christiana records his death in 868[25].] 

 

 

1.         BERTHOLF, son of [GEBHARD Graf im Niederlahngau & his wife ---] (-10 Feb or 2 Oct 883, bur Trier St. Paul).  The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified.   His precise family relationship with Adventius Bishop of Metz (see below) has not been ascertained.  Bertholf is referred to as "Bertold" in Europäische Stammtafeln with the date 879[26]Archbishop of Trier 869.  The Gesta Treverorum records that "Bertolfus abbas Mediolacensis…consanguineus Adventii, tunc temporis Mettensis episcopi" succeeded as "episcopus Treberis" in 868[27].  Jackman links him with the archbishop of Köln (referred to in Grote[28]) with the similar name[29].  An epitaph at “ecclesiæ beati Paulini“ records the death “IV Id Feb” of “Bertolfus Trevir. archiepiscopus[30]

 

 

1.         RATBOD (-30 Mar 915).  The primary source which confirms Ratbot’s family origin has not been identified.  However, Ratbod Bishop of Utrecht was possibly the nephew of Thetgod Archbishop of Trier (see the document HOLLAND & FRISIA), the name suggesting that Archbishop Ratbod may also have been related to Thetgod.  Abbot of Milan.  Archbishop of Trier.  The Gesta Treverorum records that "Radbodus abbas de Mediolaco" succeeded "Bertolfus archiepiscopus"[31].  The Annales Sancti Maximini Trevirensis record the death in 917 of "Ruodpertus episcopus"[32]Gallia Christiana records his death “III Kal Apr 915[33]

 

 

Two siblings: 

1.         RUTGER (-27 Jan 930, bur Trier St. Paul).  No source has been found which suggests Rutger’s family origin.  Archbishop of Trier: Gallia Christiana records the election in 915 of “Rodgerus” as archbishop, noting the earlier presence of “Ratbodus notarius vice Rutgeri archiepiscopi summique cancellarii” in a charter issued “XIV Kal Feb” [year not specified] at Héristal[34].  The Continuator of Regino records in 928 [date incorrect] the death of “Ruodgerus Trevirorum archiepiscopus” and the appointment of “Ruodbertus[35].  An epitaph “in basilica sancti Paulini“ records the death “VI Kal Feb” of “Ruotgerus Trevirensis archiepiscopus”, Gallia Christiana specifying his death in 930[36]

2.         [brother/sister] .  Assuming that “neptis” in the 936 charter quoted below is interpreted in its strict sens of niece, one of her parents was Rutger’s sibling.  It is not certain whether this was Folrad or his wife.  The possibility remains that the term was used in an extended sense to indicate a more remote family relationship.  m [FOLRAD, son of ---.]  Folrad & his wife had one child: 

a)         ADA (-after 936).  Rotbert Archbishop of Trier agreed with "Ada filia Folradi neptis Rothgeri…archiepiscopi" relating to "villa Theoderica…in pago Rizogohensi in comitatu Ardenensi sitam" by charter dated 936, which names "Ada et filii eius Rotgerus…et Folradus"[37]m --- (-[before 936]).  No source has been found which names Ada’s husband.  Presumably his absence from the 936 charter indicates that he was deceased at the time.  Two children: 

i)          RUTGER (-after 936).  Rotbert Archbishop of Trier agreed with "Ada filia Folradi neptis Rothgeri…archiepiscopi" relating to "villa Theoderica…in pago Rizogohensi in comitatu Ardenensi sitam" by charter dated 936, which names "Ada et filii eius Rotgerus…et Folradus"[38]

ii)         FOLRAD (-after 936).  Rotbert Archbishop of Trier agreed with "Ada filia Folradi neptis Rothgeri…archiepiscopi" relating to "villa Theoderica…in pago Rizogohensi in comitatu Ardenensi sitam" by charter dated 936, which names "Ada et filii eius Rotgerus…et Folradus"[39]

 

 

1.         ROBERT, son of --- (-19 May 956, bur Trier St. Paul).  His family origin is indicated by Thietmar, quoted below.  Gallia Christiana names “vir regali prosapia...Robertus, Rudolphi Burgundiæ regis ex Bertha filia Arnolphi Bajoariæ ducis griatus, germanus...Adheleidis primo Lothario regi Italiæ, deinde magno Ottoni sociatæ“, when recording his election as archbishop in 930 and ordination the following year[40], details which cannot be reconciled with Burgundian sources (see the document BURGUNDY KINGDOM, KINGS).  Archbishop of Trier.  The Continuator of Regino records in 928 [date incorrect, see above] the death of “Ruodgerus Trevirorum archiepiscopus” and the appointment of “Ruodbertus[41].  The Annales Sancti Maximini Trevirensis record the ordination in 931 of "Ruodperti episcopi"[42].  Thietmar refers to the "paternal uncle [of Count Ansfrid] Robert Archbishop of Trier"[43].  The Gesta Treverorum records that "Rubertus archiepiscopus" came from "regno quod Lotharingium vocatur" adding that "soror eius imperatori in matrimonio iuncta fuit"[44].  The Monumenta Germaniæ editor adds a comment that the consecration of "Rotbertum regum Saxonicorum fuisse propinquum" was proposed by "fratres Ballerini" and that he was "nepotem Brunonem archiepiscopum"[45].  The Continuator of Regino records the death in 956 from plague of “Ruodbertus archiepiscopus Treverensis et Hadamarus abbas Fuldensis[46]Gallia Christiana records his death in 956 and burial “prope ecclesiam S.

1.         HEINRICH [I], son of [Graf HEINRICH & his wife ---] (-Rome 3 Jul 964).  According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Archbishop Heinrich was the possible son of Graf Heinrich[48].  The basis for this speculation is not known.  Gallia Christiana names him more generally “illustri Francorum ac Suevorum prosapia genitus Heinricus“, noting that he was educated “in abbatia Augiensi cum S. Wolfango, postea Ratisponensi episcopo[49]Archbishop of Trier 956.  The Continuator of Regino records the death in 956 from plague of “Ruodbertus archiepiscopus Treverensis et Hadamarus abbas Fuldensis” and the election of “quibus Heinricus in episcopatu[50].  The Gesta Treverorum records that "Heinricus" succeeded "Rutpertum" as archbishop of Trier[51].  The Gesta Treverorum records that "Heinricus episcopus" died "in Italia"[52].  The Continuator of Regino records the death in 964 from plague in Rome of “Heinricus archiepiscopus Treverensis[53]

1.         HENRY (-after 1129).  Archdeacon of Winchester.  The Chronicle of Abingdon records that "Willielmus Wintoniensis episcopus" donated "locum sui hospitii...extra murum civitatis Wintoniæ" to Abingdon, dated to [5 Aug 1114/4 Aug 1115], subscribed by "Henricus archidiaconus eiusdem episcopi, Stephanus archidiaconus, Richerus et Alfricus archidiaconi"[402]Bishop of Verdun 1117.  The Annales Sancti Vitoni Virdunensis record the succession in 1116 of “episcopus Heinricus Virdunensis[403].  The Gesta Episcoporum Virdunensium records that “Heinricus...Guintoniensis Angliæ archidiaconus”, who had arrived with “filia regis Anglorum Mathilde quam duxerat rex Romanorum”, succeeded Richer as bishop of Verdun[404].  [Poull identifies this person as Henri de Blois, son of Etienne Comte de Blois and his wife Adela de Normandie[405].  He adds that "Heinricus" was chaplain to Empress Matilda, citing the Gesta: the text does not specify precisely that he held this position, but it is implied.  Matilda left England for Germany in early 1110, and was married to Emperor Heinrich V until early 1114.  If the estimated birth date of Henri de Blois is correctly shown as [1098/99] in the document CENTRAL FRANCE-BLOIS TOURS, it is unlikely that he would have accompanied the future empress as early 1110, and even less likely that he became the empress´s chaplain at that time.  However, given the tense relations which existed between Emperor Heinrich V and the church, it is not impossible that the former made the appointment whatever the age of his appointee.  No other person "Henry archdeacon of Winchester" has yet been identified.]  The Gesta continues by recording that "Heinricus", on the recommendation of Emperor Heinrich V, was elected Bishop of Verdun in 1118 but could not be consecrated due to the ongoing dispute between the papacy and the empire regarding lay investiture[406].  The Pope arranged his consecration in Milan by cardinal John of Cremona, but the emperor forbade the inhabitants of Verdun from receiving him and he took refuge in the fortress of Hattonchatel.  He was finally installed in 1120 with the military support of Renaud Comte [de Bar], Comte de Verdun, but was expelled in 1123 by Henri Comte de Grandpré who stormed Verdun on the orders of Emperor Heinrich V.  Bishop Henri escaped by swimming across the river Meuse.  He was reinstalled as bishop following the peace of Chalade signed between Renaud de Bar and the emperor in 1124, but left after the death of Pope Calixtus II[407].  The Gesta makes no reference to the subsequent fate of "Heinricus".  Abdicated 1129.  The Gesta Episcoporum Virdunensium records that “Heinricus” was forced to abdicate as bishop of Verdun after holding office for 13 years[408]
