Leuthard I of Paris (d. 813/816) was count of Paris and Fezensac.
Biography[edit]
Son of Gerard I of Paris and Rotrude. His brothers were the counts Stephen of Paris
and Beggo of Paris.
Around 781, Leuthard was sent by Charlemagne to the duchy of Aquitaine where he
stayed in the circle of Louis the Pious, king of Aquitaine (781-814) and emperor of the
West (814-840).
Leuthard married Grimhilda with whom he had the following children:
Engeltrude of Fézensac, wife of Odo of Orléans, and mother of Ermentrude of Orléans
who married future emperor Charles the Bald.
Adalard the Seneschal (seneschal of the Carolingian empire under the reign of Louis
the Pious)
Girart de Roussillon (or Gerard II of Paris), count of Paris, Roussillon, and Vienne.
In 801, Leuthard followed Emperor Louis the Pious in his expedition to Spain and
participated in the capture of Barcelona, for which he received the county of
Fezensac in the duchy of Aquitaine, where he became the first count. In 809, he was
involved in the siege of Tortosa.
According to historian René Poupardin, Leuthard ended his days in the county of
Paris.
His son Girart de Roussillon succeeded him as count of Paris.
