Einhard
Einhard (also Eginhard or Einhart) (c. 775 –
Public Life
Einhard was from the eastern German-speaking part of the Frankish Kingdom. Born into a family of relatively low status, his parents sent him to be educated by the monks of
Private Life
Einhard was married to Imma who, in common with many lay-women of the period, little is known of. Though undoubtedly devoted to her, Einhard wrote nothing of his wife until her death on 13 December 835 when he wrote to a friend that he was reminded of her loss in ‘every day, in every action, in every undertaking, in all the administration of the house and household, in everything needing to be decided upon and sorted out in my religious and earthly responsibilities’. [From Einhard’s letter of April 836 to Lupus of Ferrieres quoted by Julia Smith, 'Einhard', "Transactions of the Royal Historical Society," March 2002, pp. 55-77, p. 55.] There is a possibility that their marriage bore a son, Vussin. Their marriage also appears exceptionally liberal for the period with Imma as active, if not more so, as Einhard in the handling of their property. ["Ibid., p. 58."] In the later years of their marriage, in common with many other couples of the age, Imma and Einhard abstainted from sexual relations, choosing instead to focus their attentions on their many religious commitments.
Religious Beliefs
Einhard made numerous references to himself as a "sinner", a description of himself that shows his Augustinian influenced world view. ["Ibid., pp.60-61."] To assuage such feelings of guilt he erected churches at both of his estates in Michelstadt and Mulinheim. In Michelstadt he also saw fit to build a basilica completed in 827 and then sent a servant, Ratleic, to Rome with an end to find relics for the new building. Once in Rome, Ratleic robbed a catacomb of the bones of the Martyrs Marcellinus and Peter and had them translated to Michelstadt. Once there, the relics made it known they were unhappy with their new tomb and thus had to be moved again to Mulinheim. Once established there, they proved to be miracle workers. Although unsure as to why these saints should choose such a "sinner" as their patron, Einhard nonetheless set about ensuring they continued to receive a resting place fitting of their honour. [Ibid., p. 67.] It has been contended that in the last decade of his life Einhard's strong religious beliefs led to him retiring to a monastery. However, his letters from this period show his maintained contact with those he had met in court and Julia Smith has claimed the tone of these letters are not as religious in character as would have been expected from a member of the church. ["Ibid.", p. 69.] After his death his was buried in Mulinheim with his wife Imma, near his beloved saints Peter and Marcellinus.
