Poppo I van Saalgau

   Poppo was ook bekend als Poppo I. von Babenberg, Graf im Grabfeldgau.

  Algemene notities:

Poppo I (died 839/41) was a Frankish count in the Grapfeld (Grabfeld) from 819–839. Probably a descendant of the Robertian count Cancor, he became the ancestor of the Frankish House of Babenberg (Popponids).

Poppo was a "leading man of the Franks" in 838–839, when he and several other noblemen, including Gebhard, Count of the Lahngau, Count Adalbert of Metz and Archbishop Odgar of Mainz opposed Louis the German's revolt against Emperor Louis the Pious.

Poppo was probably the father (or grandfather) of Henry of Franconia, Duke Poppo (II) of Thuringia and Egino.

Like the Capetian dynasty (kings of France etc.), the Babenbergs descended from the Robertians. The earliest known Babenberg was one Poppo, who early in the 9th century was count in Grapfeld, in the area between modern Hesse and Thuringia. One of his sons, Henry, sometimes called margrave and duke in Franconia, fell fighting against the Normans in 886; another, Poppo, was margrave in Thuringia from 880 to 892, when he was deposed by the German Carolingian king Arnulf of Carinthia. The family had been favoured by Emperor Charles the Fat, but Arnulf reversed this policy in favour of the rival family of the Conradines. (Wikipedia)

Poppo trouwde met N.N. der Hattonen, Gräfin im Saalgau, dochter van Egbert X of Saxony en Ida of the Francs. (N.N. der Hattonen, Gräfin im Saalgau werd geboren omstreeks 790.)
