3 unusual facts about Conrad I of Germany


Conrad I of Germany

Severely injured at one of his fights with Arnulf, Conrad died on 23 December 918 at his residence Weilburg Castle.

His attempt to mobilize the East Frankish episcopate led by Archbishop Unni of Bremen to his cause at the 916 synod of Hohenaltheim was not enough to compensate.

Upon the death of King Louis the Child, Conrad was elected King of the East Frankish kingdom on 10 November 911 at Forchheim by the rulers of Saxony, Swabia (Alamannia) and Bavaria.
