- Also called Arduino Glabrio, Glabrione, or il Glabro, meaning "the Bald".
Count of Auriate from c. 935, count of Turin from c. 941/2, and Margrave of Turin from c. 950/64. Founder and namesake of the Arduinici dynasty.
"Arduin was the eldest son of Roger, Count of Auriate (r. c. 906 – c. 935), a Frankish nobleman who immigrated to Italy in the early tenth century. The medieval county of Auriate comprised the region bounded by the Alps, the Po River, and the Stura, today the regions of the Saluzzese and Cuneese. Arduin succeeded his father as count of Auriate sometime around 935, but he is not documented as Count Arduin (Ardoino comes) until 13 April 945, when he sat in judgement at a conference (placitum) of Count Lanfranc at Pavia in the presence of King Lothair II."
