Chrodbert I

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Robert I, Bishop of Tours)

Chrodebert I (Chrotbert, Radobertus, Robert I) (died 695), Merovingian referendary (as Chrotbert, 660-695), son of Charibert de Haspengau and his wife Wulfgurd. Robert and his brothers Erlebert and Aldebert were the ancestors of the Robertians. [citation needed]

Robert began his career as a referendary to Dagobert I, the last powerful king of the Merovingian dynasty, and his son Clovis II. He was the Mayor of the Palace of Burgundy (as Radobertus) from 642-662)[citation needed] and possibly that of Neustria during the interregnum of Ebroin. He may have been Bishop of Paris, but there is little evidence to support this.

Robert had two children:

Lambert was the father of count palatine Chrodbert.[1]
