Theutbald I (bishop of Langres)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Theutbald I (or Theobald, French: Thibaut, Thibaud, Latin: Theutbaldus; died 16 August 856) was the bishop of Langres from when he was elected to succeed (died 838) until his death. He is first securely attested as bishop in 842.[1] He may have belonged to the same Bavarian family that had dominated the episcopate of Langres since 769.[2]

In 841, at the start of open war between the three sons of Emperor Louis the Pious, Thibaut and Count Warin of Langres joined the side of the youngest brother, Charles the Bald.[3] On 13 April, Thibaut was with Charles and his army at Sens, and celebrated Easter with him at Troyes on 17 April.[4][5] As a result of Warin and Thibaut's support, the county of Langres fell on Charles's side of the border after the Treaty of Verdun (843) ended the war between the brothers.[6]
