Aeblus

Aeblus, Ebalus, or Ebles was a Frankish count in Gascony early in the ninth century.

With Aznar Sánchez, he led a large expedition across the Pyrenees to reestablish control over Navarre in 824. They went to Pamplona laden with gifts, but were defeated on the way at the so-called "Second Battle of Roncesvalles." Both he and Aznar were captured, but while Aznar was released on account of his relation to his captors, Aeblus was sent a prisoner to the Emir of Córdoba. Aeblus died a captive.
