Richard, Duke of Burgundy (858–921), also known as Richard of Autun or Richard the Justiciar, was Count of Autun from 880 and the first Margrave and Duke of Burgundy. He eventually attained suzerainty over all the counties of Burgundy save Mâcon and by 890 he was referred to as dux (duke) and by 900 as marchio (margrave). By 918 he was being called dux Burgundionem or dux Burgundiae, which probably signified less the existence of a unified Burgundian dukedom than feudal suzerainty over a multiplicity of counties in a specific region.

Life
Richard was a Bosonid, the son of Bivin of Gorze and Richildis. His elder brother was Boso of Provence and his younger sister was Richildis, second wife of Charles the Bald.

In 875, after the death of the Emperor Louis II, Richard and Boso accompanied Charles to Italy for his imperial coronation. In February 876, in Pavia, while preparing for his return journey, Charles nominated Boso "Duke and Viceroy of Italy and Duke of Provence". In 877, on Charles' death, Boso returned to France and confided the realm of Italy and the duchy of Provence to Richard and Hugh the Abbot as missi dominici.

In 879, Boso declared himself "King of Provence" following the death of Louis the Stammerer, but Richard defected from Boso and took Boso's county of Autun, which Carloman II confirmed to him in 880. The two joined battle on the Saône and Richard captured Mâcon and garrisoned it in the name of Carloman and Louis III under the command of Bernard Plantapilosa, a relative of the hereditary Counts of Mâcon. After taking Lyon, he besieged his brother's capital of Vienne, where he was joined by Louis, Carloman, and the emperor Charles the Fat. Richard eventually drove Boso out in 882 and captured his wife Ermengard and children Engelberga and Louis, sending them as prisoners to Autun. Boso went into hiding in Provence.

After the death of Charles the Fat in 888, Richard supported the claim of Duke Rudolph to be King of Upper Burgundy and married his sister Adelaide, daughter of Conrad II of Auxerre. Richard also supported the coronation of his nephew Louis as King of Provence in 890.

Richard died and was buried at Sens. He was exhorted by a bishop at his deathbed to beg a pardon for shedding so much blood in his life. He responded:[citation needed]

When I have killed a brigand, I have saved the life of honest men, the death of one helping prevent his accomplices from making more evil.

Family
By his wife Adelaide (married 888),[1] daughter of Conrad II, Count of Auxerre, and Waldrada of Worms, he had several sons and daughters:

Rudolph, successor and later King of Francia[2]
Hugh the Black, later Duke of Burgundy[3]

Richard Amiens is a count of Amiens early ix th century .

We do not know much about this Carolingian count. According to Nithard He enjoyed great respect from Charlemagne .

“That same day Angilbert , an illustrious man, was transferred to Saint-Riquier, and twenty-nine years after his death his body was found preserved intact, although it had been buried without aromatics; he was a man from a well-known family at the time. Madhelgaud, Richard and he were of the same race and rightly enjoyed great consideration by Charlemagne. Angilbert had by Berthe, daughter of this great king, my brother Harnied and myself; he had an admirable work built in Saint-Riquier in honor of Almighty God and of Saint Riquier; he governed the house entrusted to him marvelously. Having died in Saint-Riquier in all happiness, he entered into eternal peace. After having said a few words about my origin, I return to the course of the story. "

- Nithard, Histoire des dissensions des fils de Louis le Débonnaire , Book IV [ archive ]

According to the Europäische Stammtafeln , he would have been count of Amiens 1 .

Family
At the beginning of xx th century , Joseph and Maurice Depoin Thatch studied family relations and reached the conclusion that it could be small-son of Count Jerome , son of Charles Martel and father of Richard ostiaire and Bivin . They started from a text by the historian Richer which says that the emperor Louis III the Blind was of royal race, but tainted with bastardy at the level of his tritavus, that is to say its ancestor in the sixth generation. Chronologically, only Jérôme corresponds to this definition. The family of Louis III contains several people of the first name of Richard, a first name then rare in the Frankish aristocracy, but which can be compared to that of Recared , carried by two kings of the Visigoths . However, Jérôme was married in second marriage to a Gothe princess, who could very well have transmitted this first name of Richard. In the reconstruction of the ancestry of Louis III, there are two generations whose names are unknown, which could very well be a Richard , count of Rouen cited in 781 and in 791 and Richard d'Amiens 2 .

The fact that Angilbert was the son of a Nithard and a Richarda suggests how Angilbert and Richard were of the same race. Then, in the next generation, there is a Richilde wife of Ecchard , count of Autun, of Mâcon and of Chalon. Ecchard died childless and Boson , son of Bivin, succeeded Ecchard in two of the three counties. This succession could be explained if Boson is a nephew of Richilde 2 .
