Reginar III (c. 920 – 973) was a Count of Hainaut from approximately 940 until his exile in 958.

He was the son of Reginar II, Count of Hainaut.

He took part in the rebellion of his uncle Gilbert, Duke of Lorraine. When Gilbert was killed in 939, Reginar had to pledge fealty to King Otto the Great.[citation needed]

He then allied himself with King Louis IV of France, but King Otto sent duke Hermann of Swabia to quell the rebels in 944.[1]

Otto appointed Conrad the Red as duke of Lotharingia, who tried to diminish the power of Reginar. However, when Conrad rose against Otto, Reginar supported him. In an anarchic situation, Reginar appropriated the dowry of Gerberga of Saxony, Otto's sister and mother of the French king, and also church property.

In 957, Bruno, Archbishop of Cologne, who had also been appointed duke of Lotharingia, restored order and defeated Reginar.

As Reginar refused to submit, he was exiled to Bohemia, where he died before 973.

Reginar (or Rainier) II (890–932) was Lotharingian magnate who was active from approximately 915 to 932. He was brother of Duke Gilbert of Lotharingia, who died at the Battle of Andernach in 939, and because his son and grandson claimed it, he probably already personally held the fort of Mons in Hainaut as the seat of a county.

History
He was the son of Reginar I Longneck, and this means his paternal grandmother was possibly a daughter of Charles the Bald and Ermentrude.

Flodoard's Annals, reports under the year 924 that Reginar the brother of Duke Gilbert of Lotharingia already had a son who was given as a hostage during conflicts between several of the Lotharingian magnates of the time.[1]

By 943 he was dead, because a charter made in favor of his widowed daughter was done partly in the name of atoning for his sins.[2]

Family
Reginar II had at least three children with Adelaide of Burgundy:

Reginar III, Count of Hainaut
Rudolf, possibly a Count in the Hesbaye
Possibly Liethard or Liechard, a son mentioned in one 966 charter as a son of a Count Reginar.
A daughter who married to Nibelung, Count of Betuwe.
Upon his death, Reginar was succeeded as Count of Hainaut by his son and namesake.

Raginar married de Bourgogne, Princess Adélaïde. Adélaïde (daughter of de Bourgogne, Duke Richard and de Bourgogne, Adélaïde) was born in 896 in Autun, Saône-et-Loire, Bourgogne, France; died in 932 in Hainaut, Belgium; was buried in 932 in Seltz, Bas-Rhin, Alsace, France.

Reginar Longneck or Reginar I (c. 850 – 915), Latin: Rainerus or Ragenerus Longicollus, was a leading nobleman in the kingdom of Lotharingia, variously described in contemporary sources with the titles of count, margrave, missus dominicus and duke. He stands at the head of a Lotharingian dynasty known to modern scholarship as the Reginarids, because of their frequent use of the name "Reginar".

Background
Reginar was probably the son of Gilbert, count of the Maasgau, and a daughter of Lothair I whose name is not known (Hiltrude, Bertha, Irmgard, and Gisela are candidate names). In an 877 charter in the Capitulary of Quierzy, he possibly already appears as "Rainerus", alongside his probable father as one of the regents of the kingdom during Charles the Bald's absence on campaign in Italy.[1]

Career
Reginar was lay abbot of important abbeys stretching from the Maas to the Moselle through the Ardennes, Saint-Servais in Maastricht, Echternach, Stavelot-Malmedy, and Saint-Maximin in Trier. All these abbeys lay on or near the boundary negotiated between the Eastern and Western Frankish kingdoms in the Treaty of Meerssen in 870, during a period when the Western Kingdom controlled much of Lotharingia. In Echternach, he was referred to as "Rainerus iunior" because the lay abbot before him, a probable relative, had the same name.

Reginar's secular titles and activities are mainly only known from much later sources which are considered to be of uncertain reliability. Dudo of Saint-Quentin, in describing the great deeds of the early Normans, calls Reginar I (who, along with a prince of the Frisians named Radbod, was an opponent of Rollo, the founder of Normandy) a duke of both Hainaut and Hesbaye.[2] Centuries later William of Jumièges, and then later still, Alberic de Trois Fontaines followed Dudo using the same titles when describing the same events. He was variously referred to as duke, count, marquis, missus dominicus, but historians doubt that these titles were connected to a particular territory. That he called himself a duke is known from a charter at Stavelot 21 July 905, but this was during a period when Gebhard was duke of Lotharingia.[3]

Reginar was originally a supporter of Zwentibold in 895, but he broke with the king in 898. He and some other magnates who had been key to Zwentibold's election three years earlier then took the opportunity provided by the death of Odo of France to invite Charles the Simple to become king in Lotharingia. His lands were confiscated, but he refused to give them up and entrenched himself at Durfost, downstream from Maastricht. Representatives of Charles, Zwentibold, and the Emperor Arnulf met at Sankt Goar and determined that the succession should go to Louis the Child. Zwentibold was killed by Reginar in battle in August 900.

Louis appointed Gebhard as his duke in Lotharingia. In 908, Reginar recuperated Hainaut after the death of Sigard. Then, after the death of Gebhard in 910, in battle with the Magyars, Reginar led the magnates in opposing Conrad I of Germany and electing Charles the Simple their king. He never appears as the duke of Lorraine, but he was probably the military commander of the region under Charles. He was succeeded by his son Gilbert; however, the Reginarids did not succeed in establishing their supremacy in Lotharingia like the Liudolfings or Liutpoldings did in the duchies of Saxony and Bavaria.

Family
By his wife Alberada, who predeceased him and was probably a second wife, Reginar left the following children:

Gilbert, Duke of Lorraine
Reginar II, Count of Hainaut
a daughter, who married Berengar, Count of Namur

Renier married de Hainaut, Countess Alberada. Alberada (daughter of de Hainaut, Comte Alban II and de Namur, Hildeberge) was born in 854 in Reims, Marne, Champagne-Ardenne, France; died in 916 in Reims, Marne, Champagne-Ardenne, France; was buried in 916 in Champagne-Ardenne, France.

Richard, Duke of Burgundy (858–921), also known as Richard of Autun or Richard the Justiciar, was Count of Autun from 880 and the first Margrave and Duke of Burgundy. He eventually attained suzerainty over all the counties of Burgundy save Mâcon and by 890 he was referred to as dux (duke) and by 900 as marchio (margrave). By 918 he was being called dux Burgundionem or dux Burgundiae, which probably signified less the existence of a unified Burgundian dukedom than feudal suzerainty over a multiplicity of counties in a specific region.

Life
Richard was a Bosonid, the son of Bivin of Gorze and Richildis. His elder brother was Boso of Provence and his younger sister was Richildis, second wife of Charles the Bald.

In 875, after the death of the Emperor Louis II, Richard and Boso accompanied Charles to Italy for his imperial coronation. In February 876, in Pavia, while preparing for his return journey, Charles nominated Boso "Duke and Viceroy of Italy and Duke of Provence". In 877, on Charles' death, Boso returned to France and confided the realm of Italy and the duchy of Provence to Richard and Hugh the Abbot as missi dominici.

In 879, Boso declared himself "King of Provence" following the death of Louis the Stammerer, but Richard defected from Boso and took Boso's county of Autun, which Carloman II confirmed to him in 880. The two joined battle on the Saône and Richard captured Mâcon and garrisoned it in the name of Carloman and Louis III under the command of Bernard Plantapilosa, a relative of the hereditary Counts of Mâcon. After taking Lyon, he besieged his brother's capital of Vienne, where he was joined by Louis, Carloman, and the emperor Charles the Fat. Richard eventually drove Boso out in 882 and captured his wife Ermengard and children Engelberga and Louis, sending them as prisoners to Autun. Boso went into hiding in Provence.

After the death of Charles the Fat in 888, Richard supported the claim of Duke Rudolph to be King of Upper Burgundy and married his sister Adelaide, daughter of Conrad II of Auxerre. Richard also supported the coronation of his nephew Louis as King of Provence in 890.

Richard died and was buried at Sens. He was exhorted by a bishop at his deathbed to beg a pardon for shedding so much blood in his life. He responded:[citation needed]

When I have killed a brigand, I have saved the life of honest men, the death of one helping prevent his accomplices from making more evil.

Family
By his wife Adelaide (married 888),[1] daughter of Conrad II, Count of Auxerre, and Waldrada of Worms, he had several sons and daughters:

Rudolph, successor and later King of Francia[2]
Hugh the Black, later Duke of Burgundy[3]
Boso,[4] married Bertha, daughter of Boso, Margrave of Tuscany
Ermengard, married Gilbert, Duke of Burgundy
Adelaide, married Reginar II, Count of Hainaut
Richilda, married Litaud I, Count of Mâcon

Richard married de Bourgogne, Adélaïde. Adélaïde (daughter of de Bourgogne, Conrad II and d'Orleans, Waldrada) was born in 870 in France; died in 929. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Conrad II, Duke of Transjurane Burgundy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conrad II the Younger was the Count of Auxerre from 864 until his death in 876. He was a son of Conrad I of Auxerre, and Adelaide of Tours; an older brother of Hugh the Abbot; and a member of the Bavarian branch of the Welfs.

In 858, at the coaxing of Charles the Bald, his cousin, he and his brother betrayed Louis the German when he sent them on an espionage mission and went over to Charles, who rewarded them handsomely because he had lost his Bavarian honores. He acted as Duke of Transjurane (Upper) Burgundy from then until about 864.

He married Waldrada of Worms, by whom he left a son, Rudolf,[1] who later became King of Transjurane Burgundy, and a daughter, Adelaide of Auxerre, who married Richard, Duke of Burgundy, and had issue. Some online family trees may have him also married to Judith of Friuli, but there is no source for this, and she is not known to have married to anyone.

Conrad married d'Orleans, Waldrada. Waldrada (daughter of d'Orléans, Adrien and d'Autun, Waldrade) was born in 801 in Orléans, Loiret, Centre, France; died in 880 in France; was buried in Apr 869 in Saint-Étienne Cathedral, Sens, Yonne, Bourgogne, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Waldrada of Worms
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Waldrada (or Waldraith; born 801, date of death unknown). She was first married to Robert III of Worms, in 819 in Wormsgau, Germany. This marriage brought in 830 a son, Robert IV the Strong. The marriage ended when Robert III died in 834. She was the second wife of Conrad II, Duke of Transjurane Burgundy. They had two known children, Adelaide of Auxerre and Rudolph I of Burgundy.

Her father was Adrian, Count of Orléans (758-824), and mother was also named Waldrada, daughter of William of Gellone (William of Orange) 755-812.

*********************************************

Wiltrud von Orléans (also Waldrada, Wialdrudt, Wialdruth; around 801) was the daughter of Count Hadrian von Orléans from the Geroldon family and his wife Waldrat. Two of her grandchildren, Odo and Robert, became kings of the West Franconian Empire.

In 808 she married Rutpert III, Count in Oberrheingau and in Wormsgau from the house of the Rupertines. She herself inherited rich property in Orléans, which served her son Robert the Brave in 840 after his move from the domain of Ludwig the German to that of Charles the Bald as the basis of his rise in the West Franconian Empire.

She was the mother of:
1 Robert IV 'le Fort' Comte de Paris.
2 Rudolph I Roi de Haute-Bourgogne.
