Gebhard, Duke of Lorraine

Gebhard of Lahngau (c. 860/868 – 22 June 910), of the Conradine dynasty, son of Odo (died 879), count of Lahngau, and Judith, was himself count of Wetterau (909–910) and Rheingau (897–906) and then duke of Lotharingia (Lorraine).

In 903, Louis the Child, king of Germany, gave him the government of Lotharingia with the title of duke (Kebehart dux regni quod a multis Hlotharii dicitur[1]).[2] Gebhard died in battle against the Magyars, somewhere by Augsburg.[2]

With his wife Ida, he had two children:

Herman (died 949), duke of Swabia[3]
Odo (died 949),[3] count of Wetterau (from 914), Lahngau (from 918), and Rheingau (from 917), married Cunigunda, daughter of Herbert I of Vermandois
