Rotger, comte du Maine 1

  • Born: Between 855 and 865
  • Died: Bef 1 Nov 900

  Research Notes:

Nephew of Hugues de Bourges.

Abbo names "Rotgaire, comte et neveu de Hugues" as one of the supporters of "Hugues…prince et gouverneur de Bourges" in his war against Guillaume "le Pieux" Comte d´Auvergne, dated to 889 from the context.

Comte du Maine 897. The Actus pontificum Cenomannis records the attacks on the bishopric of Le Mans by "Rotgario", while Gunherius was bishop (from 890 to 913). His marriage, and the appointment of his rival Gauzlin by the Capet family..., indicate that Roger must have been a Carolingian supporter.

His date of death is estimated based on the charter dated 1 Nov 900 which names his presumed son and widow. 2
