Artald of Reims

Artold (French Artaud, † 962) was twice Archbishop of Reims as the successor of the Carolingian Hugh of Vermandois.

Artold was a monk, as the Robertiner Hugh the Great of Vermandois 931 the conquered city of Reims in his feud with the Count Heribert II, the reigning archbishop, the 11 -year-old Hugh of Vermandois, Heribert's son, drove Artold and in its place sat.

One of the most important Artolds acts was the culmination of the Carolingian Louis IV, whose survey had brought to the king Hugo, on 19 June 936 in Laon. Ludwig's self-liberation from the tutelage of Hugo the following year led to an alliance between Hugo and Heribert, the Reims conquered in the year 940, after which Artold deposed and his predecessor, Hugo, was now twenty years old, reinstated. Six years later ( 946 ) succeeded Ludwig IV, retake Reims and reinstall Artold as a bishop.

In June 948 was in the common universal Synod of Ingelheim of Bishops of Western and Eastern Frankish Empire Artolds also condemns dismissal as Hugo's struggle against King Louis.

On November 12, 954 Artold crowned after Ludwig's death in Reims in the presence of both the Archbishop of Cologne Brun and Hugo's son Lothar Louis the King.
