General Notes
Count Palatine of Aachen
in 899: he is often called Count of Bidgau, because he appears then in a charter for the church ofTrier. By 916 he had become Count Palatine of Lotharingia (Lorraine) for Charles the Simple. He had died by 919, and Cunegund remarried Rikwin (Ricoin) Ct of Verdun. Rikwin was murdered in 923 by Boso, brother of King Raoul of France, at the suggestion, so he claimed, of Adelbero of Metz. Wigeric/Widric did come from an influential family: the name is found across the region at this time, e.g., a Wigeric was Bp of Metz 916-27.
