Lupus I of Aquitaine

Lupus I of Aquitaine

Lupus I (also "Lupo", "Loup", "Lobo", "Otsoa", or "Otxoa") was the Duke of Gascony and Aquitaine from about 670. His reign may have lasted a few years (to 676) or longer (to 710 [ [http://www.euskomedia.org/aunamendi/38128 Estornés.] ] ). He is often considered the progenitor of the Gascon dynasty of Lupus II and the Aquitainian dynasty the Eudonians.

Lupus was the successor of Felix, whose duchy seemed to encompass almost an identical territory to the kingdom of Charibert II. Sometime after 658, Lupus rebelled against Felix and later succeeded him. ["Miracula". The rebellion was recorded to occur during the mayorship of Ebroin.] He held Toulouse and Bordeaux in 673, at which time he allied with Flavius Paulus against Wamba, the king of the Visigoths, and attacked Béziers. [Lewis, p 400 and n127. Julian of Toledo, p 524-5, calls him "princeps".] He convoked the important synod of Bordeaux between 673 and 675. [Ibid. Higounet, p 20 and n43. "viro inlustri Lupone duce" was faithful to Childeric II.] In 675, he attempted to seize Limoges, to his own destruction. He was assassinated in the process, the author of the Miracle of Saint Martial writing "in sedem regam se adstare". ["Miracula". This reference to his "kingdom" or "realm" is often taken as evidence of his "de facto" independent status (as in Lewis), which was certainly the status of his next known successor, Odo the Great.] Thereafter, the sources are silent about him and his successor(s).
