Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Reginar I "Longneck" was born about 850; died between 25 Oct 915 and 19 Jan 916 in Meersen Palace, Meersen, Brabant Wallon, Belgium.

    Notes:

    Lay-abbot of Echternach (897-915); Lay-abbot of Stavelot-Malmedy; Lay-abbot of Saint-Servais; Lay-abbot of Saint-Maximum. Lay Margrave between the Meuse and the Scheldt. Count, perhaps of Hesbaye, perhaps of Masau. Called "Dux" 898, 905. Called "Missus Dominicus" 911. Called Marquess 915.

    Also called Regnier.

    Many genealogical sources, including Ancestral Roots, give Reginar as the son of Giselbert and a daughter of Lothair I. But (as Wikipedia notes), no contemporary evidence exists linking Reginar and this Giselbert. A detailed discussion of what we know and of the plausibility of this and other speculations can be found at The Henry Project.

    From Wikipedia (accessed 15 March 2014): "His nickname is variously given in other languages as Langhals, au Long Cou, au Longue Col, Collo-Longus, or Longi-colli. Nevertheless, this nickname does not appear in primary sources and in fact refers to his eponymous grandson [Reginar III, abt 920-973, Count of Hainault] and great-grandson [Reginar IV, abt 950-1013, Count of Mons]."

    From The Henry Project: "Regnier was still living on 25 August 915, when he appeared in a charter of Charles 'the Simple' (see above). He was certainly deceased by 19 January 916, when he was not present at the assembly at Heristal, but his sons Giselbert and the younger Regnier were (the order they were listed making it clear that it was not the father who was present) [Parisot (1898), 617; Wampach (1935), 170 (#146)]. If the Catalogi abbatum Epternacensium is correct in having his tenure as lay-abbot end in the fourth year of Charles the Simple (as king of Lorraine -- see above), then Regnier was deceased by November of that year [see Brabant (1881), 66 (#81), n. 1; Parisot (1898), 609-610]."

    Family/Spouse: Alberada of Mons. Alberada died after 915. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
