Origin
The exact origin of Bernard is not known. Michelle Dillange believes that the name Bernard at that time was very common in the Carolingian aristocracy, therefore, in each individual case, Bernards mentioned in historical sources are difficult to identify with other contemporary graphs of the same name [1] . Perhaps [2] , it was Bernard who was mentioned in two acts dated July 28 [3] and December 775 [4] . It is also possible [2] that precisely this Bernard is called “ Annals of the Kingdom of the Franks ” among those who signed the world with the Vikings in 811 [5] .
An attempt to reconstruct the origin of Bernard was made by Christian Settipani . He suggested that Bernard I was the son of Adalelm (Alleoma) , one of the sons of Count Autun Thierry I , as well as the father of Emenon , Bernard II, and Turpyon . This hypothesis is based on onomastic data, and also on the fact that Emenon and Bernard were later Poitiers graphs [6] . However, there is no documented evidence of this hypothesis.
Biography
Very little is known about Bernard I. June 20, 815 he was named Count of Poitiers, who attended the trial in Poitiers [7] . Perhaps he was appointed count Pipin I, king of Aquitaine [2] , however, according to Michel Dillange, Bernard preferred to be at the court of Emperor Louis I the Pious than at the court of King Aquitaine and could be appointed directly as emperor [1] .
The exact year of Bernard's death is unknown. Dillange suggested that Bernard was a victim of the policy of Pepin I of Aquitaine, who was in no hurry to help Bernard Septimansky , whose possession in 826 was invaded by the Arab army, sent by the emir of Cordoba to help the rebellious Aissa . When the emperor Louis arrived in time with his army, the Arabs had already retreated, and Aissa fled with them. At the Assembly in Aachen in 828, several counts were removed from their posts; according to Dillange, among them could be Bernard I de Poitiers [1] , since in the same year on June 9 Pepin I appointed Count Emenon as Count of Poitiers [8] .
Marriage and children
The name of Bernard’s wife is unknown. According to the Settipani hypothesis [6] , it was his sons who were:
- Emenon (c. 810 - June 22, 866) - Count of Poitiers 828–839, Count of Perigord 845–848, Count of Angouleme from 863
- Bernard II (d. 844) - Count of Poitiers from 840
- Turpion (d. October 4, 863) - Count of Angouleme from 839
