Individual Details

Adalbert I TUSCANY Margrave

(820 - 886)

He took the side of  Carloman,  King of Bavaria, against  Charles the Bald,  King of France, in the struggle for the  Kingdom of Italy. This even though the latter was supported by the  pope. When the Roman court persisted in this "interference", Adalbert marched on the  eternal city, forced  John VIII  to take refuge in the  St Peter's Basilica, and forced the Roman citizens to swear fealty to Carloman. Excommunication by Pope John had little effect on him.
