REGINAR Reginar

Abt 0890 - Abt 0939  (49 years)

• Name	REGINAR Reginar
  Birth	Abt 0890	Lotharingia
  Gender	Male
  Death	Abt 0939	Mons, Hainaut
  Notes	Reginar was the second son of Reginar Hainaut and Alberada de Lorraine.[1] Stewart Baldwin writes: Regnier was present at Heristal on 19 January 916 [Parisot (1898), 617; Wampach (1935), 170 (#146)]. He is mentioned by Flodoard as a brother of Giselbert in the year 924, at which time he already had a son, who was given as a hostage to his brother-in-law Bérenger ["Interea Giselbertum Berengarius, qui sororem ipsius uxorem habebat, comprehendit, quemque, oblatis obsidibus sibi pro eo filiis Ragenarii, fratris ipsius Gisleberti, dimisit. Idem vero Gislebertus dimissus, terram Berengarii Ragenariique, fratris sui, et Isaac comitis depraedationsibus plurimus vastat." Flodoard, Annales, s.a. 924, 21-2]. Name variants found in modern sources Rainier II / Reginar II / Regnier II / Rainer/ Regnier Title Count of Hainaut, (modern Dutch Graaf van Henegouwen) under the rule of his brother Gilbert. He may be the first of his family to have had this title, or at least to have been referred to this way already in a relatively contemporary record. Stewart Baldwin writes: "Regnier II is called count of Hainaut by the life of abbot Gerard of Brogne ["... Raginero Hainoensi comite ..." Vita Gerardi abbatis Broniensis, MGH SS 15: 666]" Ulrich Nonn (Pagus und Comitatus p.127) does not think this source can be trusted, and describes Reginar II's son Reginar III as a more probable case of a confirmable Count of Hainaut.
