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.
