[ADALHARD [III] (-after 865). The primary source which identifies Adalhard as the son of Liuthard has not yet been identified, although the testament of "Gerardus [comes]" names "consanguinitate, affinitate et propinquitate etiam nobis junctis, id est Leufredi et Adalardi Comitum"[93]. Seneschal of Emperor Louis I "le Pieux". Nithard says that he "cared little for the public good and tried to please everyone…and ruined the kingdom altogether"[94]. The Breve Chronicon Epternacense names "Adelardus comes" as abbot of Echternach from 850 to 856[95]. Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks donated property to "Aeduensi S. Symphoricui mon" naming "Adelardus comes", by charter dated 855[96]. "Adelhardus comes" was "provisor monasterii S. Maximini" in Jul 855[97].

The Annales Bertiniani record that "Carlomannus, Hlodowici regis Germaniæ" sought refuge with "Adalardo, Yrmintrudis reginæ avunculo, suo autem propinquo" after he was banished by his father following his rebellion in 861[100]. The Annales Bertiniani record that "Adalardo Yrmintrudis reginæ avunculo" was "propinquo" of the brothers Udo (ancestor of the Franconian Konradiner family), Berengar and Waldo who were expelled from Germany in 865[101], and in a later passage record that "Adalardo…et suis propinquis Hugonis et Berengario" fought the Vikings in 865[102].
