- Adalbert (L8WY-72B) (died 723) was the Duke of Alsace beginning after 683 and probably until his death. He was the second duke of the family of the Etichonids and the first to inherit the duchy from his father.[1]\cb3 The son of Adalrich (L8WY-W5R) and Berswinda (LB4W-J1F),[1] Adalbert (L8WY-72B) was created Count of the Sundgau by his father circa 683. It is unknown if Adalbert (L8WY-72B) appointed another count to succeed him after taking over the ducal office, exercised the comital powers himself, or left the office vacant. Under Adalbert (L8WY-72B), Etichonid control of the offices of the duchy of Alsace and of the monasteries of the region became entrenched.\cb3 Adalbert (L8WY-72B) seems to have concentrated his power in northern Alsace (the later Nordgau) around the Diocese of Strasbourg. He founded the convent of Saint Stephen at Strasbourg and installed his daughter Attala (GHTN-VKP) as its first abbess. In 722 he established a monastery in honour[1] of the Saint Michael the Archangel on an island in the Rhine north of Strasbourg. This last establishment was co-founded by a group of monks from Ireland led by the first abbot, Benedict. Honau passed to King Theuderic IV on Adalbert's death.\cb3 Adalbert(L8WY-72B)'s first wife was Gerlinda (99QT-QTX) (perhaps of Aquitaine); his second wife was Ingina,[1] a wealthy woman of Alsace. Adalbert (L8WY-72B) had three daughters: Eugenia (G7Y1-J8W), Gundlinda (GD4K-YJW) and Attala (GHTN-VKP).[1] The first two entered the nunnery of their aunt Odilia (G4M8-9GC) at Hohenburg, where Eugenia (G7Y1-J8W) eventually succeeded as abbess. Gundlinda (GD4K-YJW) was later abbess of Niedermünster.In 845 the Emperor Lothair I confirmed all the charters which Adalbert (L8WY-72B) had granted to his foundation at Strasbourg. Some attribute the daughters to Gerlinda (99QT-QTX) while others attribute them to Ingina (G8X8-KLC). Adalbert (L8WY-72B) had two sons: Liutfrid (LHV5-PYL) and Eberhard (GQ63-3MP).[1] Liutfrid (LHV5-PYL) made Eberhard (GQ63-3MP) a count as early as the 720s. The sons are consistently attributed to Ingina (G8X8-KLC).[1]\cb3 References\b3 Bouchard 2015, p. 181.\b3 Sources\b3 Bouchard, Constance Brittain (2015).
