Name	LAHNGAU Gebhard
Birth	Abt 0810	Lahngau, Nassau, Heiliges Römisches Reich
Gender	Male
Death	Aft 0879	Bavaria, Heiliges Römisches Reich
Notes	Gebhard founded Kloster Kettenbach in 845. Birth Gebhard was first mentioned as Graf im Niederlahngau in 832 and consequently his birth date is estimated from circa 795-810.[1] Given he died in or after 879, (see below) the later end of this range seems more appropriate. Titles Graf im Niederlahngau [2] Parents Father: Eudes (unproven) Comte d'Orleans [2] Mother: UNKNOWN (disputed) first or second wife of Eudes [2] The idea that Gebhard's father is Eudes, Comte d'Orleans is based on the work of Jackman (1997), who suggests Gebhard's sister is Ermentrude.[1][2] Siblings Ermentrude (unproven) married Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks. [2] Marriage Geghard married UNKNOWN (brother of Ernst I, Graf im Nordgau). [2] Issue Werner (d. after 04 Jan 877) [2] Udo (d. 879 or later) [2] Berengar (d. 879 or later) [2] Waldo (b. 30 Oct; living 839) Monk. [2] Bertholf (d. 02 Oct 883 - after Sep 869) Archbishop of Trier. [2] Death Gebhard died after 879. [2] Research Notes Jackman suggests that Gebhard was the brother of Ermentrude, first wife Charles II, King of the West Franks, and therefore son of Eudes d'Orléans.
