Rorgon I (780-839) (Count from 832 to 839) Date: 2021 Source Name: The History of the Mayne Family Author: Henry James Mayne Pagina-nr: 12 URL: https://mayne.one-name.net/members_data/0235ab/histories//Mayne%20History%202020%20-%20Vol%201.pdf |
| Rorgon had been made the Count of Rennes by Louis I, King of the Franks, in 819 and was made the first Count of Maine in 832. Around 824 he had undertaken the restoration of the abandoned Glanfeuil Abbey in the village of Saint-Maur-Sur-Loire. He was a retainer at the court of Charlemagne, by whose daughter Rotrude he fathered a son Louis who later became the Abbot of Saint-Denis, and who was also chancellor to Charles II (the Bald, a grandson of Charlemagne), King of West Francia. He was married to Bilechilde and they had four children; Bilechilde, Rorgon, Gauzfrid and Gauzlin. Rorgon died in 839 – his descendants were known as Rorgonides and were the most powerful family in Maine for many generations. | |
