Raino (Amboise) d'Angers (850)

Biography

Raino (sometimes Raimond), bishop of Angers, was the son of an unknown lord of Amboise. He was the brother of Adalhard, Archbishop of Tours, and uncle of Aelinde, wife of Ingelger of Anjou^[1][2]. The family was related to Hugues, duke of Burgundy, but the precise relationship has not been identified^[2].

The abbey of St Serge (...) had originally been given to Bishop Raino of Angers by Alan the Great of Brittany around the beginning of the 10th century^[3].

Research Notes

Later generations of his family believed [Ingelger] was the son of Tertullus (Tertulle) and Petronilla.^[4]
