Everything about Adalard Of Corbie totally explained
Saint Adalard or
Adalard of Corbie (b. c.
751; d.
2 January,
827) was son of Bernard, the son of
Charles Martel and half-brother of
Pepin;
Charlemagne was his
cousin.
He received a good education in the Palatine School at the Court of Charlemagne, and while still very young was made Count of the Palace. At the age of twenty he entered the monastery at
Corbie in
Picardy. In order to be more secluded, he went to
Monte Cassino, but was ordered by Charlemagne to return to Corbie, where he was elected abbot. At the same time Charlemagne made him
prime minister to his son Pepin,
King of Italy.
When, in
814, Bernard, son of Pepin, aspired to the imperial crown,
Louis le Debonnaire suspected Adalard of being in sympathy with Bernard and banished him to Hermoutier, the modern
Noirmoutier, on the island of the same name. After seven years Louis saw his mistake and made Adalard one of his chief advisers.
In
822 Adalard and his brother
Wala founded
Corvey Abbey ("New Corbie") in
Westphalia. Adalard is honoured as
patron saint of many churches and towns in
France and along the lower
Rhine.
