Herbert II (d. 23 Feb 943), Count of Vermandois, Count of Meaux, and Count of Soissons. He was the first to exercise power over the territory that became the province of Champagne. ==Life== Herbert was the son of Herbert I of Vermandois.〔Detlev Schwennicke, ''Europäische Stammtafeln: Stammtafeln zur Geschichte der Europäischen Staaten'', Neue Folge, Band III Teilband 1 (Marburg, Germany: J. A. Stargardt, 1984), Tafel 49〕 He was apparently well aware of his descent from Charlemagne.〔Jim Bradbury, ''The Capetians: Kings of France, 987-1328'' (London: Hambledon Continuum, 2007), p. 36〕 Herbert inherited the domain of his father and in 907, added to it the Abbey of St. Medard, Soissons. He took the position of Lay abbot entitling him to the income of those estates.〔 His marriage with a daughter of king Robert I of France brought him the County of Meaux.〔Emily Taitz, '' The Jews of Medieval France: The Community of Champagne'' (Westport CT: Greenwood Press, 1994), p. 42〕 In 922, when Seulf became Archbishop of Rheims, in an effort to appease Herbert II Seulf solemnly promised him he could nominate his successor.〔Eleanor Shipley Duckett, ''Death and life in the tenth century'' (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1967), p. 155〕 In 923, Count Herbert took the bold step of imprisoning King Charles III, who died still a captive in 929.〔King Charles was the godfather to one of Herbert II's sons. See: Rodulfus Glaber, ''The Five Books of the Histories'', ed. & trans. John France (Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1989), pp. 12-13 n. 1.〕〔 Then, on the death of Seulf in 925, with the help of King Rudolph, he acquired for his second son Hugh (then five years old) the archbishopric of Rheims.〔''The Annals of Flodoard of Reims, 916–966, eds & trans. Steven Fanning: Bernard S. Bachrach (New York; Ontario, Can: University of Toronto Press, 2011), pp. 14-15〕 Herbert took the additional step of sending emissaries to Rome to Pope John X to gain his approval, which that pope gave in 926.〔 On his election young Hugh was sent to Auxerre to study.〔 In 926, on the death of Count Roger of Laon, Herbert demanded this countship for Eudes, his eldest son.〔''The Annals of Flodoard of Reims, 916–966'', eds & trans. Steven Fanning: Bernard S. Bachrach (New York; Ontario, Can: University of Toronto Press, 2011), pp. 15-16〕 He took the town in defiance of King Rudolph leading to a clash between the two in 927.〔 Using the threat of releasing King Charles III, who he held captive, Herbert managed to hold the city for four more years.〔 But after the death of Charles in 929, Rudolph again attacked Laon in 931 successfully defeating Herbert.〔 The same year the king entered Rheims and defeated archbishop Hugh, the son of Herbert.〔''The Annals of Flodoard of Reims, 916–966'', eds & trans. Steven Fanning: Bernard S. Bachrach (New York; Ontario, Can: University of Toronto Press, 2011), p. 21〕 Artaud became the new archbishop of Reims.〔 Herbert II then lost, in three years, Vitry, Laon, Château-Thierry, and Soissons.〔''The Annals of Flodoard of Reims, 916–966'', eds & trans. Steven Fanning: Bernard S. Bachrach (New York; Ontario, Can: University of Toronto Press, 2011), pp. 20-24〕 The intervention of his ally, Henry the Fowler, allowed him to restore his domains (except Rheims and Laon) in exchange for his submission to King Rudolph. Later Herbert allied with Hugh the Great and William Longsword, duke of Normandy against King Louis IV, who allocated the County of Laon to Roger II, the son of Roger I, in 941. Herbert and Hugh the Great took back Rheims and captured Artaud.〔Eleanor Shipley Duckett, ''Death and life in the tenth century'' (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1967), p. 157〕 Hugh, the son of Herbert, was restored as archbishop.〔 Again the mediation of the German King Otto I in Visé, near Liège, in 942 allowed for the normalization of the situation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Herbert II, Count of Vermandois」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
