There are no sources to this story, but it does describe life in the 9th Century. http://books.google.com/books?id=_vjYdZL9OjMC&pg=PA51&lpg=PA51&dq=I... The Art of Duelling By "A Traveller" The wife of the Count of Gatinois was accused of murder when her husband was found dead in her bed. The accuser, Gontran, a relative of the late Count, was one of the most noted and skilled swordsmen in the court of King Lewis le Begue. The king set a trial by combat between Gontran and any who would defend the widow. The widow had a teenaged godson, Ingelger, a great favorite at the court. Ingelger pleaded with the king to allow him to defend his godmother. The king tried to dissuade him due to youth and inexperience. The boy persisted. On the day of the trial, both men showed up, suited up in armor and on horseback. Ingelbar parried a thrust from Gontran's lance and sunk his own through the body of Gontran. He then got off his horse, cut off Gontran's head and presented it to the king. According to the story, his godmother was so thankful she gave him the manor of Landon.

INGELGER, son of [TERTULLUS & his wife Petronilla of Burgundy] (-[888], bur Châteauneuf, église Saint-Martin).

Foulque I "le Roux" Comte d´Anjou names "Ingelgerio genitore meo…" in a charter dated to [929/30][34].

There is doubt whether the other references to Ingelger which follow accurately reflect the historical reality of his life. The Gesta Consulum Andegavorum names "Ingelgerius" as son of "Tertullus nobilem dux" & his wife[35]. The Gesta Consulum Andegavorum names "Ingelgerius…iuvenis filius Tortulfi"[36]. The Chronico Turonensi names "Ingelgerius comes Andergavensis" as "nepos Hugonis Ducis Burgundiæ"[37].

Charles II "le Chauve" King of the West Franks gave him "a piece of a fief in the castle of Landonense".

He was installed as viscount of the city of Orléans by Louis II "le Bègue" King of the West Franks, and appointed royal representative at Tours. The Historia Comitum Andegavorum records that Louis II "le Bègue" King of the West Franks, therefore dated to [877/79], granted "dimidium Andegavis comitatum" to "Ingelgerius"[38].

The Gesta Consulum Andegavorum records that Ingelger died from "focositatem, phthisim et hydropisim"[39].

The Gesta Consulum Andegavorum records the burial of "Ingelgerius" at "ecclesia beati Martini Castrinovi"[40].

From French Wikipedia:

His name is known from a charter from 929 that mentions him as the father of Foulque I Le Roux, Comte d'Anjou. Contemporary documents reveal nothing more, and the information available about the Vicomte comes from the Gesta Consulum Andegavorum, a history of the counts of Anjoy dating from the 12th century (three centuries later).

His son was witness in a deed from 886 of the Vicomte, and took part in another act from 898. This led to the assumption that Ingelger died between these two dates. His descendants were called in France the Ingelgeriens.

The son of Tertullus (or Tertulle) and Petronilla (whose grandfather was Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne), he was born in Anjou and christened at St Martin, Tours.

First Angevin Dynasty -- of counts (before 942-1214)

Under one of the sons of Robert 'the Strong' [le Fort], Anjou was entrusted to a certain Ingelger [Enjuger], who became the founder of the first Angevin dynasty. Ingelger's son Fulk [Foulque] I the Red [le Roux] rid the country of the Normans and enlarged his domains by taking part of Touraine. He died in 942, and under his successor, Fulk II 'the Good' [le Bon], the destruction caused by the preceding wars was repaired. Geoffrey [Geoffroi] I Grisegonelle [d.987], who succeeded Fulk II in about 960, began the policy of expansion that was to characterize this first feudal dynasty. He helped Hugh Capet to seize the French crown but died some months after the new king's accession (987).

Contemporary records refer to Ingelger as a miles optimus, a great military man.[2]

Later family tradition makes his mother a relative of Hugh the Abbot,[3] an influential counselor of both Louis II and Louis III of France, from whom he received preferment. By Louis II Ingelger was appointed viscount of Orléans, which city was under the rule of its bishops at the time.[2] At Orléans Ingelger made a matrimonial alliance with one of the leading families of Neustria, the lords of Amboise. He married Adelais, whose maternal uncles were Adalard, Archbishop of Tours, and Raino, Bishop of Angers. Later Ingelger was appointed prefect (military commander) at Tours, then ruled by Adalard.[2]

At some point Ingelger was appointed Count of Anjou, at a time when the county stretched only as far west as the Mayenne River. Later sources credit his appointment to his defence of the region from Vikings,[4] but modern scholars have been more likely to see it as a result of his wife's influential relatives.[2] He was buried in the church of Saint-Martin at Châteauneuf. He was succeeded by his son Fulk the Red.[4]

Ingelger or Ingelgarius (died 888) was a Frankish nobleman, who stands at the head of the Plantagenet dynasty. Later generations of his family believed he was the son of Tertullus (Tertulle) and Petronilla.

Around 877 he inherited his father Tertullus's lands in accordance with the Capitulary of Quierzy which Emperor Charles the Bald (also our ancestor) had issued. His father's holdings from the Emperor included Château-Landon in beneficium, and he was a casatus in the Gâtinais and Francia. Contemporary records refer to Ingelger as a miles optimus, a great military man.

Ingelger I Count of Anjou and Orléans (845 - 888) was a viscount who held territory around Orléans and Angers at the end of the 9th century. The son of Tertullus (or Tertulle) and Petronilla (whose grandfather was Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne), he was born in Anjou and Christened at St Martin Detours. His son Fulk became the first count of Anjou. After Robert the Strong, he directed the resistance to the Norman invasions on the Loire. Ingeleger eventually died at the age of 43 in Tours.

Through his descendant Geoffrey Plantagenet, father of Henry II of England, he is an ancestor to the present-day British royal family, including Elizabeth II, Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and her son, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales.

"A semi-legendary soldier of fortune who carved out an estate for himself in the Loire valley. His son, Fulk the Red, built effectively on his foundation and became count of Anjou by 941."{-"The Plantagenet Chronicles," ed. by Elizabeth Hallam (N.Y.:Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1986, p.19).} Ingelgerius is thought to be the first Count of Anjou.
