- Warin (Thurgau)
Count in Alemannia
Warin († May 20, 774 [1] ) was a Frankish nobleman who left many traces in the history of Alemannia in the middle of the 8th century .
Life
After the defeat of the Alemannic duchy by the Carolingians and by the blood court of Cannstatt (746), along with Ruthard, he was one of those Franks who enforced Franconian rule in Alemannia as "administratores Alamanniae" [2] , who organized the Franconian county constitution and the fiscal estate . [3] He was primarily south of Lake Constance active while Ruthard rather north worked the lake.
Warin has been recorded as a count in Thurgau since 754 [4] . In 759 it was he and Ruthard who persecuted the founder of the monastery, Otmar von St. Gallen , took prisoner, accused him and had him tried. [5] This action was triggered by tensions between the monastery and the Bishop of Constance, who wanted to make St. Gallen subordinate to his diocese. [4] Ruthard and Warin received goods from St. Gallen's property as gifts for their support, which Ruthard only partially incorporated into the treasury. [6] In his last years, probably similar to Ruthard's from Charlemagne's accession to the throneits influence declined without it being possible to speak of a fall. His son Isanbard was apparently able to take over the office of count from him, at least in Thurgau, and also tried to reach an understanding with the St. Gallen monastery, without, however, burdening his father.
That was done by King Konrad I , who visited the St. Gallen monastery in December 911, just one month after his election, and promised an annual donation to Otmar's grave because he was the "son of those executioners" (meaning Ruthard and Warin) and thus obliged to atonement.
family
Warin was married to Hadellind , [1] both are the founders of the Buchau monastery around 770 . Hadellind is given as the daughter of Hildebrand, Duke of Spoleto , and the Regarde, who in turn is said to have been a sister of the Bavarian Duke Odilo , [7] even if the Buchau founding legend Hildebrand as the Swabian Duke and Regarde as the Bavarian Duchess and sister of Hildegard, the wife of Charlemagne, and Hadellind officiated as the first abbess until around 809. [8th]
The sons of Warin and Hadellind are: [1]
Isanbard, Count in Thurgau
Swabo
The chronicler Ekkehard IV apparently considers Warin (and Ruthard) to be Guelphs . Hans Jänichen, who sees two people in Ruthard, Ruthard the elder and Ruthard the younger, father and son, sees in Warin the son of one and the brother of the other without contradicting Ekkehard IV. Jänichen's view is controversial [9] . Josef Fleckenstein, in turn, suspects a member of the Widonen family in Warin .
