Life

The Holy Emmeram was three years guest on Herzogshof and to have been known for its chaste lifestyle there. Rather surprisingly, he broke from his missionary work in Bavaria and went on a pilgrimage to Rome. At the same time it was announced that Uta, the young daughter of the Duke, was pregnant. Lantpert seized the traveler, called him scornfully Schwager ( Aie, et gener noster episcope! ) To maim him after his refusal to marry the sister, which led to Emmerams speedy death.

While Uta left the country to be married in the distance with a nobleman, Lantpert was a little later, when he was Duke, deposed after the intervention of the Frankish kings and banished to the Avars, where he remained until his death .. His was succeeded by Theodosius II
