  Notes	First Recorded Comte d'Autun The first recorded Comte d'Autun was Theoderic [I], whose definite origins are not known but who was probably related to the Carolingian family of Childebrand/Nibelung (see the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY). [1] Name Thierry I st Autun [2] Theoderic.[1] Birth and Parents 720 is estimated as his year of birth. [citation needed] His parents are unknown.The origin of Comte Theoderic is not known. An interesting speculation is a relationship with the early Saxon leader Widukind, as explained further in the document CAROLINGIAN NOBILITY. [1] There is no record of his ancestry. The presence in his descendants of the names of Bernard, Thierry and Rolande led in 1965 Eduard Hlawitschka to bring the first Guilhemides closer to the Bertrade family of Prüm . The latter founded the Prüm Abbey in 721, and among the signatories of the founding act were his son Caribert and his close relatives Rolande, Bernhar and Thierry. [2] Historians agree that Rolande and Bernhar were married and the parents of Thierry, who is chronologically the father of Thierry I st , Count of Autun. [2] It remains to evaluate the relationship between Rolande and Berthe. [2] Pierre Riché considers them as sisters and daughters of Seneschal Hugobert ,[3] Autun The city of Autun was founded by the Romans as Augustudonum. It is located in Burgundy in Central France roughly halfway between Paris and Switzerland. [4] Autun lies about 30 kilometres north-west of Chalon-sur-Saône, in the north-eastern part of the present-day département of Saône-et-Loire near the border with the département of Côte-d’Or. The medieval county of Autun was one of the first Burgundian counties to be mentioned in primary sources. [1] "In 725, the Umayyad general Anbasa ibn Suhaym Al-Kalbi (عنبسة بن سحيم الكلبي) marched up the Saône valley to Autun. On 22 August 725 he captured the town after defeating forces led by the local bishop, Émilien of Nantes, who was slain during the course of the battle. Autun marks the easternmost extent of the Umayyad campaign in Europe. (Septimania) [4] Marriage to Alda He married Alda , most likely daughter of Charles Martel , Duke of the Franks [2] 742 Count of Autun Thierry was mentioned as Count of Autun several times in 742 and 750 2 . [5] Title: Comte d'Autun. [1] 775 Faithful of the King In 775, a judgment by Charlemagne appoints him among the faithful of the King 3 . [6] "Carolus…rex Francorum et Langobardorum" gave a judgment by charter dated to [Dec 775] which names "fidelibus…Widrigo, Odrigo, Theodrico, Bernehardo, Albuino, Aginhardo, Berngario comitibus et Anshelmo comite palacii nostri"[23]. [1] 782 Relative of Charlemagne In 782 , Eginhard called him a relative of the king ( Charlemagne ). [2] Einhard indicates that Theoderic was related to Charles I King of the Franks when he records that in 782 the king sent his three missi "Adalgiso camerario et Geilone comite stabuli et Worado comite palati" to meet "in…Saxonis…Theodericus comes, propinquus regis"[22], the relationship probably being through the wife of Theoderic [I]. [1] 791 Sent on Mission Einhard records that Charles I King of the Franks sent "Theodorico comite et Meginfredo camerario suo" to "aquilonalem Danubii ripam" in 791[24].

[1] Death He dies after this date (782) [5][6] He died between 791 and 15 Dec 804.[1] Issue Theoden (or Teudoin) ( ap.826), Count of Autun, cited in 804 [6] Teudon (-826 or after).

Comte de Toulouse, Marquis de Septimanie. [1] BERNARD ([795]-executed Toulouse Saint-Sernin 844).

Flodoard refers to "Bernardo comiti Tolosano, propinquo suo [Teodulfo comite]"[27]. Thegan's Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "quondam duce Bernhardo, qui erat de stirpe regali" was accused of violating "Iudith reginam" but comments that this was all lies[28]. Comte d'Autun until 830. Marquis de Septimanie until 831. He was installed as Count of Barcelona in 827 or before. Einhard's Annales name "Bernhardus…Barcinonæ comes" in 827[29].

Emperor Louis I appointed "Bernard Duke of Septimania" as his chamberlain and entrusted his son Charles to him, but he "recklessly abused the imperial power…and undermined it entirely". He was banished to Septimania in [Apr 830] by the emperor's sons who rebelled against their father[31]. The Annales Bertiniani record that "præfatus Bernardus" fled to Barcelona in 830[32]. The Vita Hludowici Imperatoris records that "Bernhardus" fled into exile in Spain and was deprived of his honours [in 831][33]. The same source records that "Werinus et Bernhardus comites" gathered a force in Burgundy and reached "Matronam fluvium" [in 834][34]. The Annales Bertiniani record that "Bernardus comes marcæ Hispanicæ" was sentenced to death in 844[35]. The Annales Xantenses record that "Bernhardus comes" was killed "a Karolo" in 844, after which "filio Bernhardi" and "Pippinus rex Aquitainiæ, filius Pippini" defeated the king's army[36]. The Annales Fuldenses record that "Karolus" killed "Bernhardum Barcenonensium ducem" in 844 "incautem et nihil ab eo suspicantem"[37].[1] BERNARD "Plantevelue" (Uzès 22 Mar 841-[20 Jun 885/16 Aug 886], maybe 6 Jan 886).

The 13th century obituary of the Eglise primatiale de Lyon records the death "VIII Id Jan" of "Bernardus comes"[42]. [1] THEODERIC [IV] (-soon after 826). The Manual of Dhuoda names (in order) "Willelmus, Chungundis, Gariberga, Vuithbergis, Teddericus, Gothzelmus, Guarnarius, Rothlindis" as relatives of Bernard, husband of Doda[43], which suggests that the last four named were the children of Guillaume by his second wife "Vuithbergis", assuming that all four were his children. Comte d'Autun. "Theodericus comes in Augustiduno civitate" issued a charter dated Dec 815 subscribed by "Dotinus, Ado, Bligario vicecomite, Girbaudus vicarius"[44]. "Fredelus advocatus Hildebrandi comitis" is named in a judgment of "Theodericus comes" in a charter dated Mar 818[45]. The judgment of "Theoderico comite" ordered the restitution of property at Baugy claimed by "Fulchardus advocatus…Nivelongo comiti" in a charter dated Apr 818[46]. [1] Abba and Berta cited as religious in 804. One of them was probably married a Nibelungide , Childebrand II or more likely Nibelung II [8] Descendants His descendants continued to hold the county until Bernard Marquis of Septimania lost it in 830. No record has yet been found of the rulers of the county from that date until 864, when it was awarded to Bernard "Plantevelue" son of the previous Comte Bernard. [1] Possession of the county was disputed by Boson, later King [of Provence], in the late 870s. He installed his brother Richard, later duke of Burgundy, as Comte d'Autun. After his death in 921, the county was absorbed into the duchy of Burgundy. [1] Research Notes Makhir of Narbonne Legend The presence of the word "Makir" previously in his name in the data field suggests that this profile is contaminated by false data from the Makhir of Narbonne Legend and has been removed.Day-1904 16:33, 27 March 2017 (EDT) Birth previously shown in Babylon reflects suppositions of the Nakhir of Narbonne Legend, which scholars have disproven, and therefore has been removed.
