Gunzo

Gunzo (* in the 6th century ) was a Alamannic Duke, based in villa Iburinga, today Überlingen on Lake Constance in the early 7th century.

Life and work

His exact life and power data are not known. Gunzo was father of Fridiburga, with the Frankish king Sigebert III. was engaged.

Duke Gunzo invited the clergy and bishops around 635 a synod at Constance and directed the election of the deacon John as Bishop of Constance as a successor to the deceased bishop Gaudentius.

Whether Gunzo, is identical to that at the same time testified Gundoin Duke, the founder of the monastery of Moutier- Grandval, or its predecessor, the Alemanni Duke Uncilin remains questionable. Possible Weis dominated Gunzo only the eastern half Alamanniens.
