Gobernante Ivrea (923–50) 

Berengar era hijo de Margrave Adalbert I de Ivrea y su esposa Gisela de Friuli , hija del rey Unruoching Berengar I de Italia . Sucedió a su padre como margrave hacia 923 y se casó con Willa , hija del margrave bosónido Boso de Toscana y sobrina del rey Hugo de Italia . La cronista Liutprand de Cremona , criada en la corte de Berengar en Pavía , da varios relatos particularmente vívidos de su personaje. [1]

Alrededor de 940 Berengar encabezó una revuelta de nobles italianos contra el gobierno de su tío. Para evadir un asalto de los secuaces de Hugh, él, advertido por el joven hijo del rey Lothair , tuvo que huir a la corte del rey Otto I de Alemania . Otto evitó tomar partido; sin embargo, en 945 Berengar pudo regresar a Italia con tropas contratadas, acogido por la nobleza local. Hugh fue derrotado y retirado a Arles , y Lothair le sucedió nominalmente. Desde el momento del exitoso levantamiento de Berengar, todo el poder real y el patrocinio en el Reino de Italia se concentraron en sus manos, con el hijo de Hugh, Lothair, como rey titular. El breve reinado de Lothair terminó con su temprana muerte en 950, presumiblemente envenenado.

Italia gobernante (950–61) 

Berengar asumió el título real con su hijo Adalbert como co-gobernante. Intentó legitimar su realeza obligando a la viuda de Lothair, Adelaida , la hija, nuera respectiva y viuda de los últimos tres reyes italianos, a casarse con Adalbert. Sin embargo, la joven se negó ferozmente, después de lo cual Berengar la encarceló en el castillo de Garda , supuestamente maltratada por la esposa de Berengar, Willa. Con la ayuda del conde Adalbert Atto de Canossa, ella logró huir y suplicó la protección del rey Otto de Alemania. Otto, viudo desde 946, aprovechó la oportunidad para ganar la Corona de Hierro de Lombardía.: Las solicitudes de intervención de Adelaide resultaron en su invasión 951 de Italia. Berengar tuvo que atrincherarse en San Marino , mientras que Otto recibió el homenaje de la nobleza italiana, se casó con Adelaide y asumió el título de Rey de los Lombardos . Posteriormente regresó a Alemania , nombrando a su yerno Conrad, el regente italiano rojo en Pavía.

Berengar, de la agencia de Conrad, apareció en el Reichstag 952 en Augsburgo y rindió homenaje a Otto. Él y su hijo Adalberto siguieron siendo reyes italianos como vasallos de Otto, aunque tuvieron que cederle el territorio de la antigua Marcha de Friuli , que el rey alemán confiscó a su hermano menor, el duque Enrique I de Baviera, como la Marcha Imperial de Verona . Cuando Otto tuvo que lidiar con la revuelta de su hijo, el duque Liudolf de Suabia en 953, Berengar atacó la marcha veronesa y también asedió el castillo Canossa del conde Adalbert Atto .

Perder el control y la muerte (961-966) 

En 960, Berengar invadió los Estados Pontificios bajo el Papa Juan XII , en cuya apelación finalmente el Rey Otto, con el objetivo de su coronación como Sacro Emperador Romano , nuevamente marchó contra Italia. Las tropas de Berengar lo abandonaron y Otto en Navidad de 961 había tomado Pavia por defecto y declaró a Berengar depuesto. Se dirigió a Roma , donde fue coronado emperador el 2 de febrero de 962. Luego se volvió una vez más contra Berengar, que fue asediado en San Leo .

Mientras tanto, el papa Juan había entrado en negociaciones con el hijo de Berengar, Adalberto, lo que en 963 hizo que Otto se mudara a Roma, donde depuso al papa y eligió al papa León VIII . Al año siguiente, Berengar finalmente se rindió a las fuerzas de Otto, fue capturado y encarcelado en Bamberg en Alemania, donde murió en agosto de 966. [2] Su esposa Willa pasó el resto de su vida en un convento de monjas alemán.

Berengario II di Ivrea

Berengario II di Ivrea

Berengario II (ca. 900 – Bamberga, 6 luglio 966) fu marchese d'Ivrea dal 928 al 950 e re d'Italia dal 950 al 961.

Berengar of Ivrea (c. 900 - died July 6, 966), sometimes also referred to as Berengar II of Italy, was margrave of Ivrea, and usurper King of Italy. He was of Lombard descent.

He was a son of Adalbert I of Ivrea and Gisela of Friuli. His maternal grandparents were Berengar I of Italy and Bertila of Spoleto.

Berengar II of Italy

Berengar of Ivrea (before 913-966), sometimes also referred to as Berengar II of Italy, was margrave of Ivrea, and usurper King of Italy. He was of Lombard descent.

He was a son of Adalbert I of Ivrea and Gisela of Friuli. His maternal grandparents were Berengar I of Italy and Bertila of Spoleto.

From the time of Berengar's successful uprising of the nobles in 945, all real power and patronage in the Kingdom of Italy was concentrated in his hands. Thus, the king's power in Italy was nominal and, following the uprising, Berengar became the effective King of Italy upon the withdrawal to Provence of Hugh of Arles, who left his young son Lothar as titular king. Lothair's brief reign ended upon his death in 950.

Berengar, for his part, then attempted to legitimize his rule in Lombardy by forcing Lothar's widow Adelaide, the respective daughter, daughter-in-law, and widow of the last three kings of Italy, into marriage with his son Adalbert. Instead she entreated the protection of Otto, King of Germany, whom she married. Berengar then seized the opportunity and declared himself king, with his son as co-king. Adelaide's requests for intervention resulted in Otto's invasion in 951. Otto received the homage of the Italian nobility and assumed the title of a King of the Lombards. He forced Berengar to pay him homage (952) and married Adelaide himself.

Berengar and his son Adalbert remained kings as Otto's vassals. After 960, they attacked Pope John XII, on whose appeal Otto marched into Rome and was crowned emperor (962). John's subsequent negotiations with Berengar caused Otto to depose the pope and capture and imprison Berengar in Germany (963).

His consort was Willa, the daughter of Boso, count of Arles and Avignon and margrave of Tuscany; she mistreated Adelaide when Berengar held her captive for several months in 951. The chronicler Liutprand of Cremona, raised at his court at Pavia, gives several particularly vivid accounts of Willa's character. She was held captive in a German nunnery.

Wikipedia: Berengar II. (* ca. 900; † 6. August 966 in Bamberg) war Markgraf von Ivrea (925-964) und König von Italien (950-961) (und damit einer der Nationalkönige). Leben [Bearbeiten]

Berengar war der Sohn des Markgrafen Adalbert I. von Ivrea und von Gisela, Tochter des Unruochingers Berengar I., und damit ein Nachkomme Karls des Großen. 925 wurde er als Nachfolger seines Vaters Markgraf von Ivrea.

Er lehnte sich gegen König Hugo I. von Italien auf, dessen Nichte Willa, die Tochter von Boso, Markgraf von Tuscien, er geheiratet hatte, musste aber 940 zum ostfränkischen König Otto I. fliehen. 945 kehrte er mit einem kleinen Heer zurück und wurde von den Städten und Baronen des Landes als Befreier begrüßt.

Nach der Abdankung Hugos im Jahr 946 erhielt zwar dessen 18-jähriger Sohn Lothar II. den Königstitel, aber Berengar II. herrschte an seiner Stelle, bis Lothar 950 plötzlich starb und die lombardischen Herrscher Berengar II. und seinen Sohn Adelbert zu Königen wählten. Als Lothars junge Witwe Adelheid sich weigerte, Adelbert zu heiraten, sperrte Berengar II. sie 951 in einen Turm des Schlosses Garda. Sie entkam, rief Otto I. um Hilfe an. Dieser zog nach Italien, besiegte Berengar II., heiratete Adelheid selbst und ließ sich ohne Krönung zum König der Langobarden erklären. Berengar hatte sich in die Gebirgsfestung San Marino zurückgezogen. Der wieder über die Alpen abziehende Otto ließ seinen Schwiegersohn Konrad den Roten in Italien zurück. Der brachte Berengar durch Verhandlungen dazu, 952 als Vasall Ottos I. zum Augsburger Reichstag zu kommen. Darauf erhielten er und sein Sohn das Königreich Italien unter Abgabe der Markgrafschaft Verona und des Herzogtums Friaul an das Herzogtum Bayern als königliches Lehen.

Während des Aufstands von Ottos Sohn Liudolf 953/54 war die ottonische Herrschaft geschwächt, was Berengar II. dazu nutzte, die abgetrennten Gebiete zurückzuerobern. Dabei ging er auch gegen den Papst und mehrere norditalienische Adlige vor. Als Berengar den Markgrafen Azzo in Canossa belagerte, schickte Otto ein Heer unter seinem zwischenzeitig wieder in die Huld aufgenommenen Liudolf. Dieser drängte den König 957 zurück in seine Festung San Giulio, von wo er bald darauf von seinen eignen Leuten ausgeliefert, aber von Liudolf entlassen wurde. Nach Liudolfs Tod am 6. September 957 übernahm Berengar wieder die Herrschaft in Italien. Als Papst Johannes XII. und die italienischen Adligen Otto erneut um Hilfe anriefen, begab der König sich 961 selbst auf einen Italienzug.

Royal Titles: King of Italy

Berengar of Ivrea (before 913-966), sometimes also referred to as Berengar II of Italy, was margrave of Ivrea, and usurper King of Italy. He was of Lombard descent.

He was a son of Adalbert I of Ivrea and Gisela of Friuli. His maternal grandparents were Berengar I of Italy and Bertila of Spoleto.

From the time of Berengar's successful uprising of the nobles in 945, all real power and patronage in the Kingdom of Italy was concentrated in his hands. Thus, the king's power in Italy was nominal and, following the uprising, Berengar became the effective King of Italy upon the withdrawal to Provence of Hugh of Arles, who left his young son Lothar as titular king. Lothair's brief reign ended upon his death in 950.

Berengar, for his part, then attempted to legitimize his rule in Lombardy by forcing Lothar's widow Adelaide, the respective daughter, daughter-in-law, and widow of the last three kings of Italy, into marriage with his son Adalbert. Instead she entreated the protection of Otto, King of Germany, whom she married. Berengar then seized the opportunity and declared himself king, with his son as co-king. Adelaide's requests for intervention resulted in Otto's invasion in 951, where Berengar was forced to pay homage to the German king (952). Otto, a widower, subsequently married Adelaide himself. Berengar was deposed by Otto, and Northern Italy came under direct control of the German kingdom.

Berengar continued in his position as a vassal of the Empire. Later (from 960) Berengar and his son Adalbert attacked Pope John XII, on whose appeal Otto marched into Rome and was crowned emperor (962). John's subsequent negotiations with Berengar caused Otto to depose the pope and capture and imprison Berengar in Germany (963).

His consort was Willa, the daughter of Boso, count of Arles and Avignon and margrave of Tuscany; she mistreated Adelaide when Berengar held her captive for several months in 951. The chronicler Liutprand of Cremona, raised at his court at Pavia, gives several particularly vivid accounts of Willa's character.[1] She was held captive in a German nunnery.

Berengar of Ivrea (before 913-966), sometimes also referred to as Berengar II of Italy, was margrave of Ivrea, and usurper King of Italy. He was of Lombard descent.

He was a son of Adalbert I of Ivrea and Gisela of Friuli. His maternal grandparents were Berengar I of Italy and Bertila of Spoleto.

(* ca. 900; † 6. August 966 in Bamberg) war Markgraf von Ivrea (925-964) und König von Italien (950-961) (und damit einer der Nationalkönige). Leben [Bearbeiten]

Berengar war der Sohn des Markgrafen Adalbert I. von Ivrea und von Gisela, Tochter des Unruochingers Berengar I., und damit ein Nachkomme Karls des Großen. 925 wurde er als Nachfolger seines Vaters Markgraf von Ivrea.

Er lehnte sich gegen König Hugo I. von Italien auf, dessen Nichte Willa, die Tochter von Boso, Markgraf von Tuscien, er geheiratet hatte, musste aber 940 zum ostfränkischen König Otto I. fliehen. 945 kehrte er mit einem kleinen Heer zurück und wurde von den Städten und Baronen des Landes als Befreier begrüßt.

Nach der Abdankung Hugos im Jahr 946 erhielt zwar dessen 18-jähriger Sohn Lothar II. den Königstitel, aber Berengar II. herrschte an seiner Stelle, bis Lothar 950 plötzlich starb und die lombardischen Herrscher Berengar II. und seinen Sohn Adelbert zu Königen wählten. Als Lothars junge Witwe Adelheid sich weigerte, Adelbert zu heiraten, sperrte Berengar II. sie 951 in einen Turm des Schlosses Garda. Sie entkam, rief Otto I. um Hilfe an. Dieser zog nach Italien, besiegte Berengar II., heiratete Adelheid selbst und ließ sich ohne Krönung zum König der Langobarden erklären. Berengar hatte sich in die Gebirgsfestung San Marino zurückgezogen. Der wieder über die Alpen abziehende Otto ließ seinen Schwiegersohn Konrad den Roten in Italien zurück. Der brachte Berengar durch Verhandlungen dazu, 952 als Vasall Ottos I. zum Augsburger Reichstag zu kommen. Darauf erhielten er und sein Sohn das Königreich Italien unter Abgabe der Markgrafschaft Verona und des Herzogtums Friaul an das Herzogtum Bayern als königliches Lehen.

Während des Aufstands von Ottos Sohn Liudolf 953/54 war die ottonische Herrschaft geschwächt, was Berengar II. dazu nutzte, die abgetrennten Gebiete zurückzuerobern. Dabei ging er auch gegen den Papst und mehrere norditalienische Adlige vor. Als Berengar den Markgrafen Azzo in Canossa belagerte, schickte Otto ein Heer unter seinem zwischenzeitig wieder in die Huld aufgenommenen Liudolf. Dieser drängte den König 957 zurück in seine Festung San Giulio, von wo er bald darauf von seinen eignen Leuten ausgeliefert, aber von Liudolf entlassen wurde. Nach Liudolfs Tod am 6. September 957 übernahm Berengar wieder die Herrschaft in Italien. Als Papst Johannes XII. und die italienischen Adligen Otto erneut um Hilfe anriefen, begab der König sich 961 selbst auf einen Italienzug. Als dieser anrückte, weigerten sich Berengars Truppen zu kämpfen. Im August 961 eroberte Otto nach kurzem Kampf Pavia und erklärte Berengar für abgesetzt. Dieser floh und verschanzte sich auf seiner Festung San Leo im Gebiet von Montefeltro, bis er sich 964 schließlich ergab. Otto I. schickte den Gefangenen nach Bamberg, wo er 966 starb. Seine Gemahlin Willa ging in ein Kloster, seine Söhne starben in der Verbannung. Weblinks [Bearbeiten]

Berengar II (c. 900 – 4 August 966[1]) was the King of Italy from 950 until his deposition in 961. He was a scion of the Anscarid and Unruoching dynasties, and was named after his maternal grandfather, Berengar I. He succeeded his father as Margrave of Ivrea around 923 (whence he is often known as Berengar of Ivrea), and after 940 led the aristocratic opposition to Kings Hugh and Lothair II. In 950 he succeeded the latter and had his son, Adalbert crowned as his co-ruler. In 952 he recognised the suzerainty of Otto I of Germany, but he later joined a revolt against him. In 960 he invaded the Papal States, and the next year his kingdom was conquered by Otto. Berengar remained at large until his surrender in 964. He died imprisoned in Germany two years later.

Contents [hide] 1 Ruling Ivrea (923–50) 2 Ruling Italy (950–61) 3 Loss of control (961–64) 4 Notes 5 External links Ruling Ivrea (923–50) Berengar was a son of Margrave Adalbert I of Ivrea and his wife Gisela of Friuli, daughter of the Unruoching king Berengar I of Italy. He succeeded his father as margrave about 923 and married Willa, daughter of the Bosonid margrave Boso of Tuscany and niece of King Hugh of Italy. The chronicler Liutprand of Cremona, raised at Berengar's court at Pavia, gives several particularly vivid accounts of her character.[2]

About 940 Berengar led a revolt of Italian nobles against the rule of his uncle. To evade an assault by Hugh's liensmen, he, forewarned by the king's young son Lothair, had to flee to the court of King Otto I of Germany. Otto avoided taking sides, nevertheless in 945 Berengar could return to Italy with hired troops, welcomed by the local nobility. Hugh was defeated and retired to Arles, he was nominally succeeded by Lothair. From the time of Berengar's successful uprising, all real power and patronage in the Kingdom of Italy was concentrated in his hands with Hugh's son Lothair as titular king. Lothair's brief reign ended upon his early death in 950, presumably poisoned.

Ruling Italy (950–61) Berengar then assumed the royal title with his son Adalbert as co-ruler. He attempted to legitimize his kingship by forcing Lothair's widow Adelaide, the respective daughter, daughter-in-law, and widow of the last three Italian kings, into marriage with Adalbert. However, the young woman fiercely refused, whereafter Berengar had her imprisoned at Garda Castle, allegedly mistreated by Berengar's wife Willa. With the help of Count Adalbert Atto of Canossa she managed to flee and entreated the protection of King Otto of Germany. Otto, himself a widower since 946, took the occasion to gain the Iron Crown of Lombardy: Adelaide's requests for intervention resulted in his 951 invasion of Italy. Berengar had to entrench himself at San Marino, while Otto received the homage of the Italian nobility, married Adelaide himself, and assumed the title of a King of the Lombards. He afterwards returned to Germany, appointing his son-in-law Conrad the Red Italian regent at Pavia.

Berengar by Conrad's agency appeared at the 952 Reichstag in Augsburg and paid homage to Otto. He and his son Adalbert remained Italian kings as Otto's vassals, though they had to cede the territory of the former March of Friuli to him, which the German king enfeoffed to his younger brother Duke Henry I of Bavaria as the Imperial March of Verona. When Otto had to deal with the revolt of his son, Duke Liudolf of Swabia in 953, Berengar attacked the Veronese march and also laid siege to Count Adalbert Atto's Canossa Castle.

Loss of control (961–64) In 960, Berengar invaded the Papal States under Pope John XII, on whose appeal finally King Otto, aiming at his coronation as Holy Roman Emperor, again marched against Italy. Berengar's troops deserted him and Otto by Christmas 961 had taken Pavia by default and declared Berengar deposed. He proceeded to Rome, where he was crowned emperor on 2 February 962. He then once more turned against Berengar, who was besieged at San Leo.

Meanwhile Pope John had entered on negotiations with Berengar's son Adalbert, which in 963 caused Otto to move into Rome, where he deposed the pope and had Pope Leo VIII elected. The next year, Berengar finally surrendered to Otto's forces, he was captured and imprisoned at Bamberg in Germany, where he died in 966. His wife Willa spent the rest of her life in a German nunnery.
