nobleman conquered by Charlemagne, 783; a count in the Ittergau, living
834.
Noted genealogist David Kelly is convinced that this Count Egbert is none
other than KING EGBERT (RIN 1340) of the Saxon line in England. He has
not been able to find general agreement among his peers.
Matman
on 15 April 1997:
. . . "I can only refer back to the same article [E. Hlawitschka, in
Rheinische Vierteljarhrblatter, 1974, p141ff]: there was a family in
Saxony at this time who historians call the Egbertiner or Cobbonen after
their most distinguished members. The details about Ida and Egbert's
family come from two sources: her Life (written 980/3) and the
Translatio S.Pusinnae (c.860/77). St.Ida was the founder of Herford, a
convent in Saxony. Her Life calls Egbert duke of all saxony between the
Rhine and the weser appointed by Charlemagne. A count Egbert appears in
the Royal frankish annals in 809 and 811 concerned with the boundary
between Saxony and the Denmark. Their children included Warin abbot of
Corvey 826-56, and Count Cobbo the Elder (d. fl 845), and Addila abbess
of Herford. This family continued to be important in Saxony in the 10th
century.
. . . Ida is said to be the daughter of a Frankish count (though
Hlawitschka
tries to make her a daughter of Carloman I d.771, wrongly I think). As
Egbert of Wessex became king in 802 (?), it would seem unlikely that he
could have two different careers in two different countries, at the same
time. Unless the ASC date 802 is wrong."
