Gebhard, Duke of Lorraine
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gebhard of Lahngau (c.888 – 22 June 910), of the Conradine dynasty, son of Odo (d.879), count of Lahngau, and Judith, was himself count of Wetterau (909-910) and Rheingau (897-906) and then duke of Lotharingia (Lorraine).
In 903, Louis the Child, king of Germany, gave him the government of Lotharingia with the title of duke (Kebehart dux regni quod a multis Hlotharii dicitur). Gebhard died in battle against the Magyars, somewhere by Augsburg.
With his wife Ida, he had two children:
- Herman (d.949), duke of Swabia
- Odo (d.949), count of Wetterau (from 914), Lahngau (from 918), and Rheingau (from 917), married Cunigunda, daughter of Herbert I of Vermandois
