Life

Gerold was Count Kraichgau and Anglachgau. Later he moved to Alamannia, where he married Imma, daughter of Count Alamannic Hnabi and sister of Count Ruatpert. Through marriage with Imma Gerold arrived in Alemanni the highest nobility and was thus able to strengthen its position in Alamannia significantly. Imma Huoching grandfather was the brother of the Bavarian Duke Odilo, which he thus gave also access to the Bavarian nobility.

On July 1, 784 gave Geroldus et coniux mea Imma the Imperial Abbey of Lorsch extensive estates in Anglachgau, Kraichgau and in Wormsgau, Lobdengau and Ufgau. Probably shortly afterwards died Gerold.
